The "Quarantine" Ghost Note Challenge!

With the world in quarantine due to Covid 19, I figured I would make a little challenge so you have something to occupy your free time with. Today we work on CONSTANT 16th ghost notes with the weaker hand... This one is pretty dang tough, BUT you have plenty of time to work on it. :) Enjoy & Good Luck!

I think you could definitely grow to be a well respected teacher in the drumming community, and i would love to see you get there!

[@BrandonScottDrums]

I would love to be involved in the community in that way. I love teaching and making these fun vids. Hopefully people receive them well and find them useful!

[@lajollascott]

"I'm done. I'm frickin' done." Dude, I was done just WATCHING that one.

[@BrandonScottDrums]

lajollascott hahaha it was SO difficult man. My arm was dying, take after take haha it was the best I could do. 😂

[@MatthiasKrumm]

Stick-drop! :-D

[@TonyMacaroni69_]

That's what I call a jazz blast beat

[@martinkent_]

[@elally15020]

I've been thoroughly enjoying your videos for some time now and I almost feel rude for not having said something sooner in the comments but I really love them! the edits, the subjects, the way you present them. Probably my favorite drum channel on youtube.

[@DagothThorus]

I really like it - thanks man! Going straight to the kit

[@joymusic694]

Very Good! Muito bom man! Parabéns pela didática 🇧🇷🥁👏🏾👏🏾

[@Drumsholic]

[@rhythmantic]

Thank you Brandon for a great practical exercise idea and fab video production. You’re a good communicator and teacher.

[@BrandonScottDrums]

rhythmantic - Sal D'Amato Thank you so much!!!

[@gayleneaitken9648]

Fabulous and funny. I think you’re an excellent teacher and you make it so doable.

[@GabykzB]

Hahaha🤣🎥 i loved your edits Brandon Scott, i hope to improve my left arm’s strenght and ghost notes with this. God bless u☺️ 🥁🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵

[@MusicGurus]

EXCELLENT TIME! Like you and the metronome are one - nice one :)

[@kzdrum]

You are so funny Brandon!!! ..but ok, the challenge good too!

[@castlehilldude]

That is a good exercise for strengthening the left hand BTW.

[@SimonRileyDrums]

Haha, love your edits dude! Most original channel on the tube!

[@BrandonScottDrums]

Simon Riley Drums Haha thanks bro! Love the new cover btw!

[@SimonRileyDrums]

@@BrandonScottDrums You're welcome dude! So stoked for you! And thank you so much! I'll be posting a NEW cover every Friday!

[@kellysrarerecords]

Great stuff!! Thanks for the humor too 🤣

[@jarrahdrum]

Excellent, thank you

[@ericbersan6557]

I was doing this as an exercise for really smooth and clean sound. Try to change also the accent, so you have all the 16th combo. Great content 💪

[@Crackstein.]

Nice, finaly left hand drumers aclaration

[@NikkeK]

Your videos are always so entertaining!

[@BrandonScottDrums]

Nikke K thank you!

[@nobuo22]

Dude:) Use this time to make more lessons please:) I have figured out some really cool stuff after watching your videos. Especially the herta video helped me a lot:) You got the stuff! If you upload more often im sure this channel will pop! Thanks!

[@musicaworkshop]

If I would have my drum set in my house I could take all quarantine to do that XD. I’ll try with my practice pad, but that’s not the same, thanks Brandon

[@martonveressdrums]

I was working on this before, but the dotted eight note right hand is very sick, gonna go and try it asap :) Thanks Brandon!

[@BrandonScottDrums]

It’s definitely a tricky one! But really helps with the independence of everything!

[@marroko7435]

Excelente... un saludo desde Colombia. Muchas gracias por compartir tu conocimiento.

[@SuperNick090]

You made it look easy and then I tried it .....Wow great exercise!

[@BrandonScottDrums]

It’s SO tricky! Makes you realize how terrible your left hand is!

[@vedgehlot]

Checkmate, i am a lefty guy here..

[@andalmeida86]

Me too but I play with open arms in a normal drum set position. Looks different but I like it

[@YUNAsLoveT]

We work in my country, still work! Bleh and I practice, that's really tough but worth of practicing, thanx! 🙏🏻

[@artemcultura6191]

Interesting idea would be to practice 16ths on left and right hands, 2 and 4 accents on snare, and dotted eighth accents on the hats. I think I saw a Thomas Lang independence practice like this before. Awesome vid Brandon!

[@TomBelknapRoc]

Great exercise! Hilarious intro, very well done!

[@BrandonScottDrums]

Thomas Belknap Thank you!! I’ll let Brandon 2 know you enjoyed it... He’s in quarantine right now though... 😷

[@padybeat]

Great lesson ;-) thanks guys !

[@afrohop]

This is great!

[@mrlovalova5059]

Great lesson, thanks

[@wornoutshoes11]

Thanks for this... My left hand is stubborn and stayed away from practising my ghost notes... Now i have the time and i think its about time i try harder. 😵 Subscribed. 👍✌️

[@MideosVideos]

I don't care who you are...that was some funny shit right there!

[@BrandonScottDrums]

It’s almost a blast beat.. blast beat brandon

[@idkwhattoputasmynamesoyeah9420]

Triplet ghosts and 7th high hats would be insane

[@dariojr14]

The intro 😂

[@lorenscott8078]

How did I get here two minutes after this is posted, and Colin's already left a comment before me? ;)

[@BrandonScottDrums]

Colin Muir He’s a bigger fan than even my own father!... thanks Colin :)

[@user-ku4zn8uu7t]

Great exercise, which drumhead do you use?

[@erikemerson1618]

🔥🔥🔥

[@mattywoo3649]

O dats nice! Switch hands

[@davido6678]

Can you do a Crazy Army snare solo breakdown? You could do the Steve Gadd solo if you want too. I wanted to learn the snare part over the quarantine, but I can’t read music so good and it to hard for me to play by ear.

[@derricksingzon1699]

Just subbed men💓

[@KM-px8cs]

It's actual easy for me to play both hands at the same time, probably why I have limb independence issues.

[@castlehilldude]

Dudes, you need to be standing 2 meters or 6 feet apart!

[@jaydenl2343]

They are the same people ya know.. 😑 -\_/ \_/-

[@miguelsaavedrums]

My left hand burns 🥵

[@BrandonScottDrums]

Mike Tyson Dude... you’re telling me. It’s painful! But the important thing is to try and stay relaxed and loose as well! Don’t strain it too hard. 👌🏼

[@frankiehdrum1]

Badass.

[@babar69110]

at last a polyrythm at the end :) great. miss a lot on all drumming...*

[@martijnvanbeek4387]

Good work-out, especially at this pace. But are you crazy man? In quarantine times you shouldn't let any dude come so close to you in your video! Reminds me of a certain song by the Police:) (Don't stand so close to me) I think it should be a hit right now again.

[@neewollah6875]

When all else fails. Give Her the Hand.

[@dirksommerfeld559]

Now do a 5stroke pattern on the HH, playing first and third beat 😉Stay healthy! 😷

[@BrandonScottDrums]

Dirk Sommerfeld Oh dang! Good thinking!!! Going to try that one!

[@luisfernando-mm3jt]

Nice work... You forgot off beat 16th

[@manharsharma1760]

At What bpm should be the challenge done

[@BrandonScottDrums]

Manhar Sharma In the video, the slow tempo is 60BPM and the fast tempo is 100BPM. That’s the fastest I could take it haha Try at whatever speed is comfortable for you. Just remember to keep it relaxed and controlled. 👊🏼

[@manharsharma1760]

@@BrandonScottDrums surely! 💯 it's more of the thing which everyone should focus right from the start of drumming...this vid. Is a great reminder for all drummers out there!... Much love from india🇮🇳!

[@Rockin_Ross]

Rough! But...challenge accepted!

[@aditprobhat4416]

After completing the challenge, what should I do? Do you have Facebook accout or something where I can post the completing video tagging you!
