[@tonybrown4565]

Hey - I'm 65 and used to play way back in the late 1970's. I have just invested in a practice pad, snare stand and throne - am really enjoying myself and find Rob's tutorials fantastic - such a talented guy and so friendly - thanks Rob - keep them coming.

🤜🤛Mr. Flamuel L. Jackson I am 73 and have not played a Kit in almost 50 years. Used to play in a Jazz Quartet and Top 100 R&B/Pop Band. Everyone told me coming back would be like riding a bike. Sure, it's like I fell off the bike down a cliff. Muscle Memory is out the window. But, I bought a new Kit Christmas 2022. I started watching videos from a variety of people but, I kept coming back to you (Mr. Flam) and another person. Rob I really like your style and will continue to follow your videos and accessories from your store and Sweetwater. Playing again is great exercise. "Keep on Keepin On" my friend.

These excersizes makes you so flamboyant!

[@jbeezybeats]

LOVE the slow motion so I can get a better look at your left hand! “If you want the Sun to come out…” 😂 You’re doing God’s work. I always come back to Flamuel L. Beatdown Brown like a prodigal son when I didn’t even know I needed him!!

[@wecrtyu]

70 year old self-taught drummer here who recently bought a set after not playing for 18 years. I love your videos, You're a really good teacher. I'm taking lessons and learning to read music and your videos inspire me to keep practicing. Thanks Brother.

[@TruthNTime]

Flam Bam groovin' to the jam!

[@weareparkerful]

Mr Brown throwing those flams down

[@zeichner42]

I always enjoy your videos, because you have a way of presenting the most useful information in the least-complicated way. I'm a big fan of flam exercises, because they are really useful in funk grooves, just by moving one hand to the hi-hat & adjusting the timing so the hands hit together. Being able to play an accent & a ghost note at the same time is an important skill. Thanks for continuing to put tools in my musical toolbox.

[@sharkydrumcovers]

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME !!! I want to learn these five flam exercises

[@boom__boom4325]

Love you’re videos! Quick intro and straight into the meat of it. No filler needed.

[@doublekick777]

Thanks rob I’m going to start with the first 2

[@rogerrisley3492]

[@eduardor3712]

Man, I love watching your videos

[@MrDarkstar620]

"But if you want the sun to come out every time you take your hands out your pockets..." BRO! Always a vibe. Flam life.

[@stufromsaturday3957]

Absolutely fantastic, always love the Flamuel L. Jackson lessons Rob 😂 Thank you for sharing these workouts 👌👍🥁👊

[@c0ns1d1ne]

Great exercises and that is a FINE looking snare drum.😍

[@jedidrummerjake]

Thanks, Sir Flamalot!

[@jeffreyappezzato7981]

Rob; The slo-mo break is sooo helpful! Hearing the the strokes and seeing the technique at a slower speed makes it easier to digest.

[@stuartrobertson7779]

“Flamuel L Jackson”….. GOLD!

[@brettthomson3689]

Man, that slow Mo shows just how even your doubles and flams are, and timing is so precise. Very neat.

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

Thanks man. Have fun with em!

[@Bill_Sawyer]

Very nice Beat Down Brown I like all five of them. Will be using them. Thanks 👍🏿

[@debralynnpaxton5238]

Love that, 'Flamuel L. Jackson' :D

[@DavidOakesMusic]

2:15 and i'm already in tears from all the dry humour.

[@robertbelanger6733]

I’ll be adding all 5 to my routine🤘🏻🙏🏻🥁

[@memettobey]

One more great lesson. Slow motions are very much helpful. Thanks BRO.

[@ruthfreiderich]

Love your snare!

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

Me too! Ain’t it purdy? 😍

[@ruthfreiderich]

@@RobBeatdownBrown YES!!! VERY!

[@DavidOakesMusic]

@@ruthfreiderich I love my Tama Snare. Was only £100 new but the throw off is a bit dodgy. Might have to get a new one.

[@slotrane8853]

Anything with flams or paradiddles and I’m in. Thanks for all the great videos Rob. Have definitely upped my game over the years

[@jimbarcelona1078]

Very nice Rob and very effective. Hands felt strong and after a good stretch they were ready for the set. Your the man brother!

[@islandbound63]

This is Flamtastic!

[@tdrum21]

Very nice 👌🏽

[@jamesdarby1838]

Another fantastic lesson! Keep up the good work! Like flamual L Jackson!!☺👍

[@seasondrummer]

[@evilblumonkee959]

Great vid. Flam Gamgee - Lord of the Skins ✌🏻

[@dwaynewladyka577]

This was flamtastic! Cheers, Rob! 👍👍✌️🥁

[@jemmace2586]

Haha Flamuel L Jackson!! Brilliant. Niiiiice, thanks very much! 💙👍

[@jemmace2586]

Oh and all of them, they look like they'll do wonders for loosening up before playing, they're some killer exercises right there Flamuel L!

[@CornerStoreDrums]

Lets get it! Another fantastic lesson as always! 💯🥁

[@anklem]

Nice Yamaha snare! I love the slo-mo parts, it's really clear what to do. I thought you were going to use Gaddiments, but no. Good video!

[@peterbartone4123]

Great workout…BTW what snare drum is that?

[@johnlewis682]

I’m adding all 5. One at a time

[@giacomolio5643]

Ottimo

[@jordanjones2176]

I love your videos you really have me tighter in a matter of weeks i only have trouble understanding the flams can you break down what you are actually doing I’m trying to play it by ear what are the note factors left to right Brother ?

[@seanmcdonnell2971]

Smoked Flam Chops! 🔥

[@hombreenojado]

Jim Black (Alasnoaxis) utilizes flams in some interesting contexts. Typically as segways and transition points. I love flam-taps!

[@Phil.A]

Hi Rob! What metronome do you use?

[@windsurfer49]

"Flam-Tastic" ,, "Another great vid Rob""

[@zim1966]

As always a great lesson. I noticed the arm/elbow compression sleeve? Got issues?

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

A bit of nagging elbow pain. A little too ambitious with the dumbbell curls I think

[@DavidOakesMusic]

@@RobBeatdownBrown Well...it would appear...that the dumbbell...is in fact.......you. *Won't Get Fooled Again plays*

[@wavemotiongun12]

Love the name Flamuel L. Jackson 😅 My drum name is Colin Phills. ;)

[@Doug7900]

Don’t mean a thing if it ain’t down with a flam! 🥁💥

[@shaderbytes]

first ones are flam-taps , next ones were flam-mills , no three dont no name but just flam ever note of paraduddle , 4 were swiss army triplets with aa triplet switch the same as a ratamague , 4 were two flam-taps and a single switchs to reverse flam-taps ;) I LOVE flams , I love to play them at different subdivisions as well so the 4 o 3 sticking floats around the bar. You are a fantastic drummer , so pls dont think im saying anything to you like im better but I do wanna say , for life always practice to play your accents harder , the wider the dynamic on the flam - the better. ( obviously more difficult up to speed ) but as a kit drummer mostly the speeds youwill ever get to uset these are in the range for super hard accents. ;)

[@alexmanojmathews]

Awesome lesson .. Prof Brown.. i need some help from your side. I've dropped u a text on facebook messenger as well So here's the thing.. I've got some background training as an ENT surgeon. I've been blessed to be a novice self taught drummer. And I wanted some info on guidance to ear care for drummers - interms of what IEM's to use / how drummers should tKe care of their hearing etc etc I'm writing an article on the topic to spread awareness among drummers.. musicians.. public. I feel its a topic that has not been addressed clearly.. rather been dismissed as exposure to noise. And I'm sure you just like any other musician worth his / her weight especially a drummer would not take it pleasantly to be told they're making noise. So on that note.. please do help in whatever way u can. Cheers.. God bless.. stay safe.. stay happy.. keep smiling and Rock N Roll

[@EgyGamerSchoo1]

what's name of this metronome any one help ?

[@Astral-Projector2389]

I have a question and it's from a totally beginners aspect. If you'd have only 5 exercises to do to improve from zero and maintain your overall skill. What should does 5 exercises be?

[@StoyanStoyanov88]

I can't play flams when start with left hand,only can start with right hand flams,very strange to me do with left hand start.

[@jordanjones2176]

Word me too but practice I’m just trying to understand what is actually being done here the flam workouts are my only confusion everything else he teaches I grasp like 123

[@dennisdoyle6733]

I would love to see more closely what you are doing with your traditional grip left hand. Your fingers look like they are doing all the work. D

[@cskeise]

💙👊😎

[@dennisdoyle6733]

I would like to see more clearly what are you doing with your traditional grip left hand. It looks like your fingers are doing all of the work.

[@weareparkerful]

Dennis asked the same thing😀☝🏻

[@wurdofwizdumb1928]

Just saying I would buy a Flamuel L Jackson T-Shirt

[@ebertheleuteriodossantos139]

At the exercice #5 the correct BPM is 160, not 200 as is showed in the video.

[@dmau5e790]

Currently the best drummer in jail thanks to these exercises

[@csontosmilan9150]

yay

[@edoardozampetti4601]

FLAUMEL L. JACKSON IN FLAM FICTION ROB..😂😅

[@yurrintinckelsonn812]

RAMON MONTAGNER the brazilian drummer just blew my freaking mind with his amazing push pull technique. I noticed you have nothing about this technique on your channel. PLEASE COVER PUSH PULL or suffer the karmic consequences for eternity. Thank you.

[@PezrulezHaakon]

I might be able to do the first two examples at 10 bpm. 3, 4 and 5 won't happen in this life.

[@spencerflegel5889]

Are drum sticks allowed in jail?

[@weareparkerful]

They would make a good shank

[@DavidOakesMusic]

Only chicken drumsticks.

[@BerthoDrum]

Why do you always hold the stick this way in your left hand ? The sound is perfecr but there is no drummer hold it like you..

[@graveyarddrums]

Flamuel L Jackson lololol

[@prongATO]

Can you get some more of those T-shirts? I want one! @RobBeatdownBrown

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

Sorry man. These tees were from just a very limited collection run with Puma and no longer available
