[@pd2210]

[@karriewallace110]

Thank you Sensei Rob! Am working on them right now! A lot slower of course but will work on them daily! Thank you for another great lesson!

[@taurus3694]

Beatiful. Thank you.

[@TheJoeyG88]

Hello Rob LOVE the videos!! Question on the RLL with the 110 click does the "One" rotate from the R on the first loop, then the First L on the second loop then the last L on the third loop, then back to the R on the fourth loop, may be a stupid question, but I'm finally playing to the click after years of refusing to!, Thanks in Advance!..

[@timsullivan2141]

Thanks Rob! I'm seeing big improvements after 2 weeks! Also I'm using some of these exercises with double bass! Really improved control of dynamics.

[@objoyful989]

Some are great drummers, and some are great teachers. You are both.

Of course, we should always start at a speed where the beats are consistent, then speed up over days or weeks. I couldn’t keep up with you Rob, but I love the exercise and I’m incorporating it into my workout routines! Thanks for this!

[@drumcoversbysean9802]

Rob Brown is simply the man. 50 years old, playing for 35+, taking it seriously for about 2, and you've been a huge help. When I grow up, I just want to be a smooth and cool as you - drums or not :)

[@thebakersbuns]

I recently watched one of your older stick control videos from 2-3 years back and have already seen some improvement. Came back to watch it again to freshen up and saw this!! Absolutely gonna subscribe, thanks heaps for ya work mate

[@rosyarmitage8164]

Fantastic tutorial...I have been doing your "the only 3 rudiments" video and also the Stick Control challenge at 152 and this is a great follow on, thanks Beatdown!

[@maximus3189]

Another great video. Thanks again Rob.

[@nualamcloughlin7737]

I have yet to try these exercises, but absolutely everything recommended by Rob - including investing in a practice pad and actually using it lots! - has transformed my drumming. I can do things now that I truly believed only 'real' musicians could do. So grateful, as I had almost given up, but now I get so much pleasure from playing and feeling like I'm making real progress. 🤩

[@carlosvellinho]

Hey Rob, thanks for all your lessons, but this one, man, day one and i felt i was going somewhere already, definetly gonna add to my routine!

You make it look easy and effortless, but the sticking patterns and technique is taking some practice. Getting better every day. Awesome drills to learn

[@jkbaca41]

I have an e-kit I use now since my acoustic drums are at my singer's house. Its an old Yamaha DTX III, so it's basically a practice pad kit.

'BeatDown' you are icy smooth my man!!

[@walther9161]

What a workout!!!!

[@joelgrieshaber207]

I love your teaching style! You are humble, solid, relaxed and inspiring as all get out! I've played 52 years, (studied at Rutgers in the 70's-80's with Michael Carvin) and in the process of learning we sometimes forget technique over time. YOU have inspired me to start steady practice again and tune up that lopsided limb(s)! I'll check in with you in 3 months with "butter-smooth" execution!!! Also, love the way you address both grip styles. I am inspired to simultaneously learn better matched grip, as it is good to have both tools in the bag.

[@spark_6710]

Yes ,using both grip styles will come very handy & makes us more flexible & actually faster player / steadier I believe !👍💜💜💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💞

[@brunolsvieira]

Did you get to practice that? Any improvements?

Rob thanks for another great video. I’m already making a great comeback after being out of the game for quite a few years. All because of the simplicity in your teaching. Thanks again. Hey what kind of snare is that?

[@UkazutoX]

Well shit, just picked up some drums and this is exactly what I'm looking for, thanks man

[@justinedwards9123]

Dude this is HARD. Thanks, It's amazing how sloppy I am doing something so simple! I wanna do a before and after video to this tutorial.

[@buddyrichable1]

Another great video Rob. I’ve been working on these exact Triplets except Rll rrL and paradiddles with Rll rrL substitutions for left & right hands. These exercises fit right in with developing these accented triplets. I am working on a lot of your stick control exercises from your older vids, and the loose hands instructional. You’ve been a big help. Thanks man. Is that a Sonor snare? Looks a lot like my Benny Greb model. Cheers.

[@menchlid3945]

The coolest drum teacher on KZbin!

[@dennisfromflorida]

another HOT day in Florida .............TIME TO PRACTICE .......... :-)

[@spark_6710]

WOW !!! YOU ARE A VERY GOOD TEACHER ! This is one of the most PRACTICAL / USEFUL drill videos if not the Most important, I think it is !!! ( for us ,beginners )Also the camera work is very very good !👍👍👍 Many drum channels show the teachers's hands from the front ,but from a distance & set at a lower eye level than they should ,or too far away that doesn't help the beginners at all ! Also the speed of the double strokes ,or 5 strokes so on they are playing is too fast for us , the beginners ,or people who are just curious of drums/ drummers to watch & undersatand ( especially w/ accents ! ) .They have to show their hands clearly !!!Whether ,from the front ,or sides ,or also from above will be good ! I started drumming last spring ,but because of my friend/ teacher's schedules & my personal things & then this corona pendemic / lockdown ,I haven't been to his studio to play his drumms for a real loong time now ! I got no drum kit of my own.But,I've been practicing on my pad everyday ! This is a GREAT excercise that I'll start today ! Also ,I have been wondering if I should learn & play w/ one traditional grip & one match grip ! I am not trying to be a jazz drummer ,though I've grown up w/ jazz & both semi pro & professional jazz musicians around ! But, I wanna be flexible ! I just subscribed to your channel ! I have watched several videos of yours before ,but this one got me decided to !Thank you so much for this video !💜💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💖💞Please stay safe !P.s.also ,the alternating hands is very important ! I have been doing so.

[@monstersaint]

I've been working with you 4800 doubles, which is excellent. I'm stacked up to try this!
