I thought this would be a breeze cuz I played drums back in middle school... man, was I mistaken. At least the quarantine gives me more time than ever to get back into it!

[@SightReadDrums]

Haha exactly! Now's the perfect opportunity to practise :-)

[@jocelynamado1351]

dude.. im trying to get a cruise job and needed to improve my sight reading skills for the audition.. this is amazing, thank you!!!!!!!

[@SightReadDrums]

Glad I could help! Do check out my other videos as well - I have lots of different sight reading material now in varying styles. Best of luck with the audition.

[@dfm-fn1qg]

we need an update did you get the job?

[@chadhero37]

I worked on Carnival and Royal Caribbean for 8 yrs. Good time. I was a singer, so I had my own room. As a drummer, you will probably share a room

Exactly what I was looking for. I really like how the page starts turning before it's finished so you can see what's coming next. Subscribed and thank you.

This actually help iron out my sight reading rhythms as I seemed to not do it correctly for years. Thanks for these type videos.

[@SightReadDrums]

Pleased to hear that. You’re welcome!

[@pauldrumwell4922]

Well done on a great resource for all dry drummers.🥁👍🏻

[@miles_venom]

This is an awesome way to learn the drums

[@markielinhart]

Your page turning notations are sensational❗️will you be producing loop versions of these so they can be played offline do to speak⁉️They’re just so clever as they keep the practice flow going without, well, having to turn the page, happy to chip in 👏🇦🇺✌️

[@SightReadDrums]

Pleased to hear you've found it helpful! I'm not sure what you mean by loop versions - do let me know so I can look into it 👍

Sight Read Drums any chance you could do more advanced snare drum pieces like this, they are really helpful for helping with my poor sight reading skills!

[@JayAyers]

I'm a trumpeter who has issues sight reading. These are perfect to work on 10 mins a day.

[@SightReadDrums]

Pleased to hear it’s useful!

[@krazyjey]

Awesome, that is like a musical Tetris, practice make it awesome and enhance the accurate stroking while reading.

[@dlo2xx569]

cant believe i found it. thank you

[@risenpx814]

What is the note called at 00:40 with the 2 small lines and with 3 notes?

[@SightReadDrums]

I’m not sure it has a name, it’s just a common rhythm pattern that goes 16th note - 8th note - 16th note

[@areallycoolname2674]

u can imagine it as 4 sixteenth notes then remove the 3rd note

[@SolomonWyt]

It’s called 1 e a Or 1 e (+) a

[@dubber1416]

I'm too poor to afford a snare drum so i just hit my lap with my hands lol

[@SightReadDrums]

at least you have hands and a lap

[@23ograin53]

Drum sticks + mouse pad on my desk. I actually prefer the feel and sound over a drum pad.

[@magnet_taco]

0:56 waaaaaait a minute, is that fortissimo measure part of "are you gonna go my way"?

[@SightReadDrums]

Unintentional but yes it is!

@@magnet_taco I guess the answer to "Are you gonna go my way?" is Yes.

It was great! thank you, i´ll like more of these kind of excercises, can you tell me where to find it? pdf or other media resources? by the way, it took me like 2 and a half hours to make satisfiyingli good at the normal speed, and when i well known the piece, like 20 minutes at 1.25 speed hahaha, very noob. Well, thank you again.

[@SightReadDrums]

Thanks! Glad you liked it. Plenty more of these sort of videos available on the channel and there will be more to come.

[@jordansaltmarsh3808]

These are awesome! Was someone recorded playing these or is it midi drums?

[@SightReadDrums]

It’s midi

Took me a little but i learned it

[@adrienne9962]

I have a question for percussionists: how do you know which hand to use? I’ve seen on some of my drum line’s music that there are Rs and Al’s to tell you which hand to use, but what do you do when there aren’t any of those sort of markings?

[@SightReadDrums]

There aren't any rules as such but drummers will often subdivide each beat into four 16ths that go RLRL. So for example if you have the rhythm of an 8th note followed by two 16ths, the sticking will be R_RL. But it all depends on the context. With experience you get to know which sticking patterns work best for various rhythm combinations.

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

If you will learn the "natural sticking system" which is also called "Right Hand Lead System" this will help you to play the same rhythms using the same sticking every time for sound consistency. This will also help your sight-reading skills because you won't have to guess what sticking to use. Hope this helps.

[@Xtremecarfan10188]

This is amazing, so glad I found this channel. What is the grade level of this piece?

[@SightReadDrums]

Thanks! I'm not sure exactly what grade this would be considered but I would say around grade 6-7 if you are sight-reading it straight off the bat.

[@Xtremecarfan10188]

Thank you!

What does the 3 means

[@OFFICIALBLINK182DRUMCOVERS]

UNIQUE

[@tokyo4678]

Playing this on practice pad. Did the first few measures perfectly but ended up failing the entire thing anyways. If a teacher gave me a score it would be 2.2/10 for all the rhythm I messed up on.

[@SightReadDrums]

2.2 better than nothing! Keep practising lots of different pieces 🥁

[@tokyo4678]

@@SightReadDrums I got better at percussion so now my score would become a 7.5/10 because some rhythms I messed up.
