Fantastic lesson Adam, thank you! Very cool paradiddle uses plus it gave me some new ideas for using them with fills.

Simple and really useful. another cool teaching from Drumeo.

[@TATORULESFOREVER]

Great video. In my country we have a rythm called "candombe" wich can be paradiddled across the set and gives you a full vision of the excersises you just played.

[@Sc4rPride]

Very cool! the last lesson was the coolest!

[@fabioadias]

Very nice video. Thanks for sharing, man!

[@hebersolito4407]

[@pedronogueira1747]

Thanks Adam and Drumeo.....you are greatest ..... Lord's of the drum....

[@MarcusJDrums]

Those drums sound sooo good. Nice and punchy

[@randrade89]

:o that sound man, i need those cymbals in my life NOW

[@SomethingRcklss]

Adam, i said, you're the best drum teacher ever. Congrats from México.

[@joemarlow46]

Best drummer ever*

[@andsuaz]

LOVE THAT CRASH !!!!!!!

[@samuellouis3103]

Hey Orlando, I really enjoy your videos. I get a lot of great ideas. On this particular one, exercise #2. If you add what I think would be a 16th note double on the bass drum as you’re doing the accent on the ride cymbal, sounds really cool. It’s really hard to do on both but it sounds equally cool on either the first or second one. I hope that makes sense... Cheers man

[@maschinemademan9053]

very clean dude thanks:)

[@merk1003]

love paradiddle rudiments man.... thanks for da lesson

[@MrKevinHudson]

Wow , Never knew my man Colin Farrell was this good at drums !

[@firmans12]

incridible playing and kit sound

[@Heisemberg000]

This crash to the left is awesome

[@Orgakoyd]

Nice drums!

[@alvinboholsky6060]

thanks for the lesson.. now i know how to expand my paraddidle..

[@QuinnTube2]

I'm so stoked to work on this over my long weekend. I love paradiddles and have been wanting a "modern" way to use them! Also, this one isn't drumming related, but Mr. Tuminaro, what watch are you wearing? I love it!

[@gayasitsripiroj788]

I just want that cool paradiddle style, It's Amaze.

[@JPelus]

the triplet para was weird. idk made my skin crawl. great lesson tho! made me stop doing homework, on my way to the kit now

[@commonoctopusmusic]

I agree...sounds better as 16th note trips

[@RhythmTrimJim]

Adam, being my favorite online teachers, if you're ever in Boston hit me for a lesson

[@GorcStew]

That is one thin ride :o good stuff

[@EricRubioficial]

THAT CRASH! I'm drooling.

[@jeepsnjuice9407]

“And thank you guys for tooting in” lol shit was so funny I tooted. Thanks bruh

[@migtex25]

cymbals sounds amazing

[@tdrum21]

Snare sounds great as well as the drums. What's the tuning/head scenario on the snare?

[@Mrhandyhitman]

Hell yea adam is badass, I follow you on ig bro! Awsome dummer!

[@MRCH-jk5fk]

Adam , you are correct in saying there are a lot of ways to play a paradiddle . Here is a good one , flam the first beat of every one then move the accent to the E then to and then A.Then play the accent and move the flam in the same manner . Now play it at 144 bpm .I can play it but not at the speed required .

[@juanernestovasquez6965]

Muy bueno....

[@chezchezchezchez]

This is awesome! I guess I put off for too long using paradiddles around the kit. Not anymore!

[@wirraldrumstudio4220]

Been doing these things for years, and I'm over 60! So much for new tricks lol. Well made vid though and well presented.

[@austinway8691]

What drum set and shell sizes are you using? They sound phenomenal!

[@mariano1987]

excelente

[@aterz0]

nice video. what drumhead do you use on your Benny greb signature to get that sweet sound? Keep up good work.

[@fondue8897]

Those cymbals ;____; (tears of joy)

[@anuragekka317]

Wow you're on drumeo.!!

the best :)

[@1420timmy]

He's got the right voice. He doesn't need a host

[@badhival3779]

do a lesson on what you did in the beginning! That was sick

[@shaderbytes]

cool stuff adam, im wondering why you say you are displacing the para-diddle in the last exercise because you are still starting the pattern on the one? I would think displacing means moving the pattern to start on a count other than one..

[@AdamTuminaro]

Correct! Displacing the "feeling" would be more accurate, as the accents are the only thing that's really different. Good call!

[@QuarterZipBro]

What are you listening to in your ear while you play? a metronome?

[@dariusmccoy3347]

is there sheet music for the sweet demo in the beginning of the vid?!??!?!!

[@borgullet3376]

Adam is one bad dude.. For reals

[@FrankDag]

Right around 0:07-0:08, on the first beat of the measure, what's the sticking of that quick hi-hat fill? Are those triplet 32nd notes and are they single strokes?

[@chrisgemmell102]

nice

[@jamestorres9012]

Drum kind of kit is that??

[@Diegorfelix]

+Adam what kind of sticks did you use for this video?

[@AquaAnim]

Think he uses the new Vic Firth 5a with barrel tip

[@andrewoikonomidis8021]

Is that Benny Greb's signature snare?

[@bozzolanmusic3617]

10 !!!!

[@The_Crooked_Step]

What snaredrum is that? Sounds killer!

[@JonathanFoottit]

Sonor Benny Greb :)

[@DanMarcelino]

i love those hats.. what are they?? thanks!

[@richardpine8011]

+danmarcelino Meinl Sand Hats

[@DanMarcelino]

***** thanks!! =]

[@FREY.1]

What kind of Meinl crash is that to your left that you are hitting?

[@theadamblock]

Looks like 18" Dual Crash

[@brendanwarford5455]

I've been messing with paradiddles like this for years now

[@tatedelana7658]

Could you tell me what lick he was doing on the hihat at the very beginning? Was it a paradiddle?

[@TheRealFLAMP]

Tate D it was sorta hard to tell but if you're referring to the very fast part then I believe its just a kick drum followed by double strokes, so like KRRLLKRRLL, dont quote me on that though haha

[@tatedelana7658]

Thanks. I'll try it out.

[@brandonkain9231]

wait...when did adam join drumeo??? is he not doing orlando drummer anymore???

[@AdamTuminaro]

I'm full time Orlando Drummer! I've been a Satellite Instructor for Drumeo for over a year =)

[@zislec]

Adam Tuminaro keep up the good work. Really appreciate your content 👏😌

[@chriscurtis8344]

AT you're a baaad boy on drums.,Incredibly clear teacher .

[@malachiclunies-ross1884]

you should make your own channel bro

[@drummer1416]

Is that a 18 or 20 inch dual crash?

[@jacoblerche5079]

18"

[@jit3701]

I noticed Adam and Thomas Lang both have some black-like moon gel material on their heads. Can anyone tell me what those are?

[@AquaAnim]

drum-tac

[@RobertSmith-sq1wg]

+Isaac C Adam does not support the use of moon gel in his hair. He is available to be sponsored by the producers of any product

[@jit3701]

Robert Smith ?

[@RoarArtists]

+Robert Smith HAHAHAHA damn that was a good one xD

[@RobertSmith-sq1wg]

thk u

[@lucasmattoss9670]

Show

[@artesanaable]

Because of the subtitles, it's impossible to read the sheet music

[@InEpicinium]

If those are ghost notes then I must be over thinking how quiet they need to be O.0

[@AquaAnim]

Look at his mic placement, its directly in front of where he is ghosting, more important to look at his stick height which is 1/4 the height of his accents.

[@InEpicinium]

AquaAnim True, you would get a more dynamic range if his mic was farther away, didn't even pay attention to that. Personally I always thought it has to barely be heard even to the drummer himself rather than make it like 1/6 or an eighth of the volume of his accents just to be rendered down in mixing XP

[@AquaAnim]

+FallenPlague912 Its all personal really, some people would like whisper quiet, but in some contexts that wont work, like Matt Halpern in Periphery, his ghosts are naturally a little louder from the musical situation. In jazz i keep my ghosts as low as possible, you just want them to be barely heard, and thatll depend on the genre really.

[@InsomniakDrums]

+FallenPlague912 Also keep into consideration, the definition of "ghost notes" are also subjective. In marching percussion, most people consider ghosts notes to be where you air the motion of the stroke entirely and don't even hit the drum.

[@InEpicinium]

+Dino Asbury That might as well just be a pause for the length of the note then xD I've heard ghost notes in the ensemble style being used but never understood what it was since I wasn't a drummer back in my band days. interesting though

[@ringusslaterfist6282]

Someone bought the DCP Meinl Cymbal Combo Pack

[@sunnyanthonydrums]

what the hell he is doing on the hi-hat can someone tell me name of that technique..

[@fbeegle]

WHAT KINDA RIDE CYMBAL IS THAT??

[@bryeap]

the lighting is kinda dim in this video

[@ofordileonochie1448]

Watching Gbagam

[@stuartbarker5559]

That last one is so tasty!

[@stewedpuppet4555]

so sad to see that his kit is more beautiful than me HAHA

[@Marreroortiz]

A little dizzy 1:55

[@21uziman]

my brain feels weird now...

[@roodrums1145]

[@Miiiiiwaaa]

[@iyokie3715]

Noice 🚿

[@JirkaMichalik]

His voice and the way how he talks... I would like him to be my psychotherapist... Anyway, cool tips.

[@pmbfrance]

Would be so cool if it wasn't for your haircut

[@guyhughes4185]

your timing is all over the place, was very sloppy.

[@madelineroma4787]

Please, you aren't half the drummer he is.

[@guyhughes4185]

Madeline Roma yeah more than half. Played in orchestras tv and toured around the world

[@antonioordaz3103]

When your ego is bigger than your career😂

[@chriscurtis8344]

Guy where's your video superstar? Where's your instruction video. Leave this guy the hell alone.
