The 4-2-1 Unison Builder | Drum Lesson

[@daselend2.068]

Damn, bro. Don't post this shortly after midnight in Germany. I was just ready for bed, now I'm heading for the kit. Ah, man!

[@eliashager5026]

True 😂😂 same thing down here in austria

[@abbdrums]

My bad! Still early out here in Cali haha

[@LEONARDRUM]

@@eliashager5026 The same in Italy...:):):)

[@B1TCH35K1LL3R]

If Austin closes his eyes for concentration, then you should know that exercise is legit shit

[@thestradiosmiles]

I love your videos, proverbial "clicked so fast" comment but for real your videos are just so well made. Thanks for the extra effort you put in.

[@yuriselukoff]

Man, are you even a human? 🤣🤣🤣 Tried playing it at 70bpm. Failed. 🤣

[@abbdrums]

Don't compare your first try to my practiced and prepared presentation... I didn't show you my first try ;)

[@kevinralph6775]

As a metal drummer, this is a pretty crucial exercise.

[@ashwinraj5215]

Bro will you post videos on iconic jazz beats and fills

[@Imban3z]

The Creative Pad Patterns was an awesome idea! I'm almost done with it... Can't wait for the Whole Kit Exercises! Go Austin!

[@123spleege]

This might be a question addressed on another video but here goes......why traditional grip? It seems like this exercise would be much easier with a standard grip. Also, open playing vs cross over. Do you discuss open kits and what it can afford? We all can't be Carter Beauford but..........

[@bubuotis]

The biggest hurdle for me is the snare ( left hand ) and kick unison without flammin', especially on the &'s. I seem to always be ahead with the kick, damn...Any advice on that is mega appreciated. :)

[@billmint8122]

Dude, are you just using overhead mics and a bass drum mic here? Sounds amazing

[@Itsnotbrettreddell]

Sounds like a lot of 80s metal drum fill intros Judas Priest and such

[@whaleguy]

Hey Austin, why is your hihat dialed down so low? It's barely audible. I also noticed you don't have any individual drum mics. What happened?

[@abbdrums]

My OctoPre went bad on me so I'm having to minimize my mic setup for now. 3 mics can definitely work though!

[@dimitriostsiamouras8251]

What snare is that? Sounds/looks sick!

[@abbdrums]

Sensitone Phosphor Bronze 14x5 👌🏼

[@jmag579]

Dats pretty cooo *cartman voice.

[@renatomiceli1778]

Hi, could you please do a video (Study the greats) of an analysis of some polyrhythmic double bass drum / snare grooves by Tomas Haake (Meshuggah) ? I think you should check out some of their songs, i think he deserved it.. Their stuff is just crazy, and sometimes very underrated. Highly recommended songs: -Clockworks (Intro B's floor-tom/kick/snare linear groove, 9/4 over 4 polyrhythm; the verses pattern, 23/8 against 4 polyrhythmic cycle; chorus, 17/8 over 4 polyrhythm), -Spasm (the verses pattern, 19/16 over 4 polyrhythm; the guitar solo section pattern, 27/16 over 4 polyrhythm), -Glints Collide (the grooves in the middle of the song are all composed by a 13/16 against 4 polyrhythm), -The Mouth Licking What You've Bled (the guitar solo pattern, 19/16 over 4 polyrhythm; ending section pattern, 9/16 against 4 polyrhythm), -Dancers to a Discordant System (the breakdown in the middle of the song, 14/8 over 12/8 polyrhythm; the pattern of the guitar solo section, 29/8 over 12/8 polyrhythm), -Electric Red (the pattern of the section in the middle of the song, 31/16 against 4 polyrhythm), -New Millennium Cyanide Christ (Intro pattern, 23/16 against 4 polyrhythm; bridge/guitar solo section pattern, 9/16 against 4 polyrhythm)

[@sevensilverflowers]

Cool,man! Great exercise. Cheers!

[@RonHaslam]

Great exercise...I use a similar idea to switch crash/snare on each side.. also you can switch the unisons to alternate Right/left... create doubles between hands and feet...super fast and powerful with a double pedal ! 🥁🙄 Thank you Austin..

[@SonsuzOlaslk]

Looks great sounds great

[@billbigler1366]

Wow Austin. In Louisiana and got up at midnight for a nature break and headed to my electronic drums through headphones downstairs so I don't wake my wife up exercise. Thanks for all of your hard work. Bill.

[@kaydubj]

Oh, that last part is tough. Great stuff, Austin. (BTW, I always sit through the ads paying for the hard work you undertake making these videos.)

[@klappenhalter]

Hey @ Austin! Could you do a study the greats on Aric Improta - "Blur-Lights in the Videodrome"? Especally the elements he plays with his sticks alone are a pretty interesting concept :)

[@erichzann72]

Welcome to the world of Thrash Metal drumming. Excellent work Austin

[@jessdrummer_]

Oh man! Great video, very interesting exercise! I was missing your videos. Im gonna practice this tomorrow. Thanks for teaching.

[@joseruiz6453]

Have all your courses! Looking forward to the Drumset Guided Workouts!!!!!

[@hudsonvolpe2934]

If I am looking to record drums and don’t have a desktop yet, can I plug my headphones into the audio interface and still listen as I play?

[@bouncingdude]

This is so great! I love how you break down your exercises and it gives me practice fodder. I was all over your 5 groupings exercise you posted some time back and it's now part of my arsenal thanks to you. :-) Oh, how I wish I could take lessons with you but you aren't in Texas, lol.

[@TomaszZachara]

You get this sound from overheads only?

[@abbdrums]

Yea, plus a kick mic. My Octopre died on me so I'm being forced to minimize for now. It works though!

[@IkechiUkazu]

Hi hat on quarters note or it doesn't count for the double bass beat lol...

[@IkechiUkazu]

Lol I wonder if that would even be humanly possible

[@yanivbalas1]

THANKS!!!!!!

[@BrianH020]

Once again great job, Austin. Have to give this a go for sure! I love the "Grimace of Concentration!" 😉

[@edjones8706]

Great Exercice!

[@alexpattle96]

Love your playing and exercises; always so clean and purposeful

[@johnrobinson8323]

Awesome lesson Austin! Would you mind telling me what type of crash cymbal that is to your left? I really like the sound of that one.🥁❤

[@abbdrums]

18" Extra Dry Thin Crash 👌🏼

[@metagordy2917]

Great. I've always liked unison exercises.

[@difquin]

Awesome exercise! Will try out on the kit next time :)

[@NOORPHANSTUBE]

Awesome! Can’t wait to see the full guided work out!

[@grant3226]

Nice, going to give that a go... easier with matched grip?

[@MrJuan3259]

Very good exercise, thanks

[@donsak111]

Superb!!! Thx for sharing

[@dharomusic]

You spelled 2-5-1 wrong

[@dardud1987]

Somehow the intro video made me LMAO

[@Craigb786]

Thanks for the great content! What do you use to make the progress bar go in time over the notation that starts at 3:57 in this video? Thanks!

[@abbdrums]

Craigb786 It’s the built in playhead from Logic.

[@jaydenkhoury4254]

Your toms are tuned very well
