Hey I tried to watch the 6 free drum lessons but it doesn't seem to be working. I think it only showed me one. Any possibility you could help me out with this? Btw thanks for uploading all these videos. They are amazing my friend!

Been playing forever… and this is new to me. Never too late to upgrade

[@thefatboy__goneslim7376]

Triplets is the key, try practicing rrllk rlk rlrlk rrllk, and rll rll rll rlr lrr lrr lrr lrl, and ofcourse the never ending rlrrlrll 😁

[@saullapointe5448]

@@thefatboy__goneslim7376how do you practice them? Separate or in groups?

[@thefatboy__goneslim7376]

​@@saullapointe5448 use a metronome and you can start w/ the basics by just doing RLK on the rack tom, floor tom and bass, then add 5bpm every 5 mins, don't add if you still can't do a faster tempo, try experimenting different RLK combinations around your kit as you progress. On the practice pad I just do Rll Rll Rll RLR Lrr Lrr Lrr LRL, repeatedly while using a metronome. On the kick pads if you play double bass, just do triplets with your right feet as lead, then alternate w/ your left feet as lead, every minute. Start slow then add tempo as you progress. And lastly, "KZbin" 😁

[@ricar2735]

its next video up already? im trying to to figure out if this exercise is the missing link on chops or the whole "cleaning" practice is the thing. sorry about my english and thanks for the videos!

[@lalruatdika2494]

This is gonna help me much I have one question, did you think of chop/fill pattern and practice that or you just improvise it on the fly

[@flashiestfreshman]

Maaan this is so difficult for me. I grew up in a old school baptist church so I didn't even know what chopping was. What's a good way to start getting into chopping? I don't even want to do any of the crazy stuff. Just add another dimension to my musicianship.

[@carlinmuccular]

Simply put. Watch more videos on my channel! Most of my videos are “easy” chops. The harder stuff comes with lots of practice and your own creativity

[@flashiestfreshman]

@@KTBD242 I like to consider myself a professional drummer in the sense that I definitely can drive a groove and create patterns that other gospel drummers don't but I never was exposed to the chop thing. Just grooving and playing for the emotions of the song. I love the sound of chops when they fit the context so part of me loves it and part of me hates it. It feels like a different muscle that has to be developed.

[@flashiestfreshman]

@@carlinmuccularAppreciate the reply. I came up only seeing grooving drummers and listening to old blues or RnB music so I have a love hate relationship with chopping. I just started finding myself wanting to explore 32nd notes and I'm starting to feel a plateau in a sense. I can groove for days but I feel like learning this would give me another skillset for when the time is right.

[@DMitchDrums]

Learning your rudiments helps a lot as well

[@joevonsmith]

Use a metronome. Start off slow. As you get comfortable gradually increase your speed. Practice practice practice. The more you play the better you’ll get until one day you’ll look up and be like; OH SNAP!!!

[@DanielFoning]

Hello sir, I've a question for you. Which method did you use or which learning program did you follow to master the drum rudiments with all the bulk of rudiments we're to master 🤲🤲🤲😭😭

[@James-q9e1y]

I'd like to see the hit chart to see where the hand and kick matchups are. I can't quite pick it up

[@carlinmuccular]

I have a new course coming. You can also check out my website

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@arthurraleigh5812]

Gospel chops is a name that the church put on old fusion combinations of Vinne, Weckyl etc. Its just chops. The church steals everything..

Thanks man, ive been drumming since 2nd grade of elementary and now im in 12th grade and i am a self taught lefty drummer thst plays on a right handed drum, open handed, and coordination is so hard for me because though im a lefty but in drums only and im using my right hand in all that i do, my form is so confusing because when i ghost note my left is stronger than my right but my right is in the snare, its so hard to criss cross to make a single chop, what advice can you give me with that bro, btw im a new subscriber, also a church drummer i want to improve bro, i hope u can help me with that, love ur vids! From the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@aarondynamic]

Great video! I'm curious what the huge looking dampening ring on your floor tom is?

[@carlinmuccular]

It’s the Remo Sub Mufl system. Check it out on their website! Helps my floor tom sound like a cannon! (But it’s not everyone’s preference.)

[@carlinmuccular]

And thanks for the compliment!

I think your stuck in linear sticking, the style sounds flashy and fast, but almost every chop is linear, its the same phrasing over and over
