I love the little assurances in between. Makes me want to keep going. Great teacher.

[@AcerArcYT]

Some good teacher motivation.

[@ravisahi462]

You have so much patience and are not in a hurry to HURRY US! Thank you for these exercises and continuing to encourage new and older players. MOST other instructors want to move on to the next rift quickly.

[@Corazon806]

I want to learn drumming this is perfect. Other youtube style lessons just move on too quickly and it's intimidating

[@kateguillot8401]

Not only do they move on too quickly, they also expect you to memorize the sticking right off the bat. I have a background in melodic percussion, im used to having sheet music in front of me 😅. I can't think about tempo, stick height, technique, dynamics, and the sticking all at once! It's too much

[@AcerArcYT]

That is true but if you get better at sight reading. Then when they throw the sheet music back at you. You will be able to quickly read it and that will make you better at drumming(Snare and Drum Set).Little bit of advice.

[@DissentingCalm]

I love this concept. I'm following the recommendation of doing the lesson every day for a week. As the week has progressed and I've become more confident, I've found that increasing the video playback speed is keeping it challenging.

[@Faultyist]

This is the best lesson for co-ordination as a comlpete beginner I've seen. Thank you Eliseo. This is really good.

[@Justin-xn8oi]

thank you for staying with us the whole time. some instructors end up just being quiet after the explanation. I enjoyed your being there.

[@achapp9]

I’m going to do this twice everyday for a week wish me luck bois

This video was a long time ago. As was the last comments. So illm just commenting bere to say this is still helping many people in luding myself today and i am over the moon i got this in my sight as assistance for the future. Thanks so much and please continue to create drum related videos. Your style of teaching is incredibly understanding and accommodating to many peoples styles of learning. Please do more like this. So good. Thank you. 🥁

[@anaispellin451]

Agree!

[@JammyJamz8]

Thank you, Eliseo! I love to practice along with your video. It's very comforting having someone walking me through it. It makes it a lot more motivating too.

[@cheeseme23352]

Thanks so much! Helped me alot. Im in a homeschool marching band and ive been having some trouble with my drum and this helped so much. Thanks again!

[@TwistedSox23]

This made it so easy for me to improve upon my sticking. I love your encouragement as we go through together. The best teacher I've ever had and you aren't even my teacher! I wish I could like twice!

[@EliseoRael]

I'm glad it helped. Thank you for the kind words.

[@ratheeshpillai5484]

Your lessons motivated me to learn a drum. You are one of the excellent instructor, simple and step by step makes life so easy. Thank you so much :)

[@muddydragon3112]

Now, that is what you call a lesson. I like the slow build-up to get you used to the timing.

[@AcerArcYT]

You are right about that one.

[@lifewithniyah1555]

I’ve gotten better at these, thanks for helping others, God bless you!

[@OneAugustKnight]

Awesome - just starting out - got myself a practise pad and these exercises were just what I was looking for - thanks!

[@isoshshekanagsoabdifnehs18]

These are the exact patterns my school is using to teach me drumming, now I can really practice what my school is teaching

[@chrisw685]

Drums for some reason came really natural for me. The first time I sat at a drum kit I was able to play basic beats and 10 mins later did my first tom fill. I played snare drum in band in 6th grade (1998) so I knew basic sticking at least. Anyways, I never practiced and am self taught. Which means I kinda suck especially since my kit was packed away for 8 years, so I'm starting from scratch and going back to a single pedal. This is going to help immensely, thank you. I didn't realize how important it is to always practice with a metronome. I had been speeding through my fills and never noticed.

[@Zehahahahahahahahahahahaha]

Wow you are gifted.

[@ninavadnere1422]

Hi! I’m a veteran musician and fairly new drummer, so I was able to get all of these patterns relatively quickly. However, your teaching is incredible in this, and you did a great job!

[@EliseoRael]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.

[@StanleyIpkiss275]

Thank you so much for making these drumming lesson videos. I know many new beginners will benefit from them greatly and i happen to be one of them :-)

[@EliseoRael]

Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you find them helpful.

[@ntrisko]

This helped me so much!!! Now I am even more faster when I play the drum. Keep up the good work!

[@EliseoRael]

That's great! I'm glad it helped.

[@PukiPukiPo]

I am a super beginner and I did watch and search a lot for some practices drum pad videos and this one is the best! I hope that maybe you can do some more videos like this! Anyway thank you so much for your videos it helps big time! 😁

[@silver771000]

This is like the best beginner drum video I seen thanks a lot

[@PhatSimey]

What a cracking lesson, probably the first one I've actually completed from start to finish! Thank you :-)

[@scrit]

Been doing this for a week and def seen improvement! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this for others.

[@loveliketvshows1756]

Thank you for this! It's exactly what I needed to start drumming!

[@Mirrorz_]

I sat though and played the whole thing. I feel like that helped a lot and improved my stick control and coordination greatly!

[@charitymokeira]

Just stumbled on this a week ago and its a gem. Thank you Eliseo

[@ravynb2676]

This was really great and very reassuring!! Makes me excited to keep practicing :D

[@EliseoRael]

I'm glad you liked it. Happy practicing.

[@77th_piece3]

thank you so much now in band in my class I show everybody what you taught me

[@katiepompa9605]

Thank you! I am going to high school marching band next year and I want to play snare drum. I need to improve my counting but my stickings are going well. This is helping a lot thank you very much.🥁😀

[@EliseoRael]

I'm glad to hear it Katie! Happy practicing.

[@jimokeefe6392]

Thanks for the video, I’m new to drumming and have been doing this routine for two weeeks and my instructor is impressed with my progress. Mind you I’ve had zero music training.

[@EliseoRael]

That's great Jim! I'm glad it's been helping. Keep practicing regularly and good things will happen. I have other videos you might find useful that you can find on my KZbin page under the beginning snare drum section. Good luck and feel free to let me know how you're progressing.

[@retxedvlogs7912]

Thank you! Last 2018 i've start learning drums and this help a lot. I'm in the 230 bpm in a quarter note.

[@AcerArcYT]

I am in 450 bpm quarter note(Technically 500 bpm).

[@blue5306]

I practice with this everyday. I really can't thank u enough for this!!! Thank you so much!! This is soo helpful. Cheers~

Hi Purvi, thank you for the kind message. I'm glad you've found it helpful.

Great rudiments. Practiced for a couple of hours. Getting faster. Thanks

[@dnyanukamble6737]

Excellent 👌

[@The_Masked_Drummer26]

I did know this stuff but I didn’t know on how to play it right there are so many patterns and I like that, and this practice helped me out a lot. Thank you

[@AcerArcYT]

And at first this helped me out too a little bit with coordination.

[@donaldschaefer296]

Yes indeed! This is a big help! Thank you!!

[@TheDudeway]

Best I have seen yet.

[@lynnsimoneau535]

I love this exercise!! I just began playing the drums and have used this exercise for the past 3 days and today I was able to get through the entire exercise without making a mistake!! Thank you!, can you tell me what you have the metronome set at for each exercise as the tempo gets faster?

[@lynnsimoneau535]

I’m glad you like my comment! Your videos have been extremely helpful!! Could you please tell me the settings you use on the metronome for the increasing tempos for each sticking exercise, please?? I’m so grateful!! You’re a great teacher-encouraging, patient, giving several ways to think of sticking and keeping time & more!!

[@AcerArcYT]

@@lynnsimoneau535 What he told me was that you can do the playback speed on the video an make it go up to twice as fast.

[@lynnsimoneau535]

@@AcerArcYT I don’t think I’m quite that good but I’m definitely improving at a steady rate! I’m even getting my double roll going faster. I think one of the most difficult things is that I’m left-handed and so the sticking on the drum pad is not a problem but I’m wondering if it’s going to become an issue when I play with a real full set of drums and cymbals. Thanks for your comment! I hope you’re doing well! Let me know your thoughts and opinions if you have any.

[@AcerArcYT]

@@lynnsimoneau535 Well I am right handed so yeah..

[@AcerArcYT]

@@lynnsimoneau535 But just keep practicing like I am and you will become way better at drumming.

I got a bit faster then 2x using this video. Thank you!!

[@isabellaperez2856]

[@Karan_Blaze]

Thanks u so much for this lesson I'm very grateful to join 🙏

[@ryanfreese2031]

The first problem right off the bat I see is that this is a beginners simple warm up exercise and is suppose to be counted as 2 groups of 4 (1234 / 1234) not a in odd time counting of 1 group of 8. Secondly counting in odd time signature only the first syllable of seven is said and not last half of the syllable. The 2nd syllable half of seven would be counted as another note /hit. Also for beginners a click or peep sound they can’t play with so it’s much simpler to actually have a snare drum hit sound. Other than that the lessen is solid.

[@EliseoRael]

Hi Ryan. Those are some interesting observations. Thanks for watching the video and giving me your feedback.

[@210SirReese]

Thank You Sir 🙏

[@MooseLeader1]

Is it ok if you miss a day here and there? Also after seven days of practicing this do you keep doing it periodically? Or has the foundation been laid so to speak? Thanks for these great videos!

[@EliseoRael]

Practicing daily is a great way to improve quickly. That being said it's a good idea to rotate what you are practicing. For example practicing the sticking exercises Monday Wednesday Friday and roll exercises Tuesday Thursday Saturday is a great way to work on more material.

[@maximomartinez6843]

awesome ,

[@AcerArcYT]

It would be nice if you made a advanced version of this because I want this but higher tempo

[@EliseoRael]

KZbin has a feature where you can do the playback speed 1.75x faster and 2x faster. You can also make it more advanced by taking a metronome and doing them at a faster tempo.

[@AcerArcYT]

Oh yea, I forgot about that

[@AcerArcYT]

And I can also o the max tempo paradiddle at 2 times speed

[@conanrose1182]

I've got the normal part down so I'm trying to up it by practicing my back sticks. I alternate every other measure or when the pattern starts over

[@MooseLeader1]

What is a back stick

[@simonchatterton9880]

@@MooseLeader1 Yeah, what is a back stick?????

[@MooseLeader1]

@@simonchatterton9880 wish I knew lol

[@EliseoRael]

A backstitck is when you use the back of your stick to play instead of the front. It's just a visual mostly used in a matching band drum line setting. If done well, it can look cool. If you're just getting started, I'd recommend just doing the sticking patterns.

Sir what are the various speed of tempo's you have used can u please mention it would be helpful for practicing with your notes

[@EliseoRael]

I made this video awhile ago so I don't recall the specific tempo I used. I do remember that I started slow and gradually increased the speed with each exercise. I think I did something like 2 clicks faster with each exercise. That's something I do when I teach it live.

[@tinku777083]

@@EliseoRael can i use this to practice on a practice pad where can i get more advanced lessons

[@EliseoRael]

These exercises are great for a practice pad! As far as more advanced lessons, it's hard to know what the next step for you would be without seeing you play first. I would recommend taking private lessons with the best teacher you can find. Do you have any videos of yourself playing I could see? Have you played any solos or etudes before. How would you describe yourself, beginner intermediate, or advanced? I have some more beginner snare drum videos which you can find here: Beginning Snare Drum: kzbin.info/aero/PL3NNUNRUiR2WNXw0HYLWqCf-OkYb5_N6L Let me know if you have any specific videos you'd like me to make.

[@mixla6590]

Great teacher thank so m7xh.

[@EliseoRael]

I'm glad you like the video. I hope it helps.

[@seansalmon1791]

i have been doing this for MONTHS AND I KEEP MESSING UP

[@EliseoRael]

Try slowing down the video to .75x speed, especially if you're having trouble with some of the later exercises. You may have noticed the tempo gets faster as you go. When you can do it comfortably at the slower speed, try doing it again at normal speed.
