You're easily one of the cleanest, most deliberate, and controlled players I've ever heard. Your sound is always incredible too.

[@louiepalmerdrums]

[@ABCD14992]

Agreed!

[@henrywalinda9099]

[@louiepalmerdrums]

Thanks!! I don’t think I own any coloured t-shirts!!!!

[@dominicmaribrasero2911]

Steve I still working on the useful paradiddles 32 notes ! I follow Louie and you cos I think your are so dedicated to drums and also amazing teacher ; here in France it’s lots of “bla-bla “ and to many information retained … Anyway it’s great to have you too on the same page !

[@davidedwards7448]

Great lesson Louie!! Great sound!!

[@louiepalmerdrums]

Thanks!

[@sergiobecerra9505]

As always very clean and the sound of your kit is just perfect! This is one of the few drummers whom I need to hear when I feel uninspired and stuck in the kit. Takes me one of his videos to want to jump back into practicing. Hopefully i can do lessons with you in a near future 🤞🏻 Thanks for inspiring to be better on 🥁 So glad you changed to Meinl 👏🏻

[@henrywalinda9099]

Danke!

[@user-fm9kv5ce4u]

大変勉強になりました！最高のドラマーです！cool

[@jimbarcelona1078]

Well since I dont have a second floor at the present moment im using the second upright tom which finishes the expression. I like the fill Louie! Well done my friend!

[@JimsMusicLegacy]

Tasty lick and nice chop. I'm hungry.

[@isaacleedrums]

So good it’s good.

[@surangameddegoda6550]

Thank you sir........

[@peterjeffery1824]

Very cool - very learnable - very applicable. I was already becoming a fan & then the great Steve Holmes mentioned you on YT = me signing up for your P.B.D. online drum school this week. Psyched to explore all your lessons.

[@louiepalmerdrums]

Great, thanks! See you on the site! 🙌🏻👍🏻🥁

[@jimbarcelona1078]

I have a Roland electric vdrum which i tune to that specification to make my snare sound crisp and tight!

[@joshhuders4751]

Yess mannnn, u should do this weekly 100%! Could even be a groove or something , not jus fills! Amazing man

[@louiepalmerdrums]

I upload almost weekly to my online school playbetterdrums.com

[@shawdoo]

Hi Louie. Thanks for such great stuff. Curious as to what types of Evans heads your using in this video.

[@louiepalmerdrums]

They’re Strata 1000 heads from Evans. It’s an orchestral head (thin) but works as a drum set head.

[@thomashupp5913]

Nice documentation with great practicematerial for interesting Fills,is he using a cable Hi hat with his left Foot playing open handed.

[@anguse2068]

Awesome stuff, performance and sound. A couple of questions: 1. What Evans heads are you using on the toms batter and reso)? 2. What Pearl snare is that. Thanks!

[@louiepalmerdrums]

Heads are Strata 1000 on top, clear G1 on bottom. Snare is the Pearl solid shell music city custom in cherry (14x5). Thanks!

[@chriskramer9311]

Sick ass lick, headed down to the basement to try it out now!

[@fitnessisgood4u]

Thanks Louie. I use this fill in a jazz setting a lot, with the foot hi hat off beats. Works a treat. Did you go to Bob for lessons by any chance? I did a good few years in Hornchurch/Dagenham.

[@louiepalmerdrums]

I did not!

[@fitnessisgood4u]

@@louiepalmerdrums Fair enough, I thought I'd ask. Great technique mate, thank you for this video.

[@chrisfaulkner3688]

Very tasty!

[@joshuapearson2217]

I’d love to know how you tune that snare as in the notes for top and bottom head. I’ll try to figure it out, but if you could help that would make my month.

[@louiepalmerdrums]

Nothing to it really, just bottom head nice & tight (almost table-top tight) & the top head tuned wherever you like it for pitch. It’s the same as all the other drums - bottom head always tighter than top…on the snare the bottom is quite a bit tighter bc of the type of head & the role it plays.

[@joshuapearson2217]

@@louiepalmerdrums I appreciate your time, sir.

[@MrKunharcos]

Could anyone tell me what that little groove at 0:14 is. I can't figure out the right hand on the second hi hat. What time signature it might be?

[@ediblenebulas1164]

Hey man, this is very late but to me it sounds like 4/4 with the hihat playing in a sort of imposed 3/16 - every 3rd 16th note. Also there is a swung feel. Hope this helps 🙏

[@larrytemp3063]

LOUIE PALMER DOES NOT PLAY BETTER DRUMS HE PLAYS PERFECT DRUMS

[@HoldenMcG]

Love it! I'm going to start calling you 'Mr. Clean' (...and it aint because of your hair style/preference for P&G household products!!!).

[@swastikyadav4519]

hey Louie, i just wanna tell you that i love you.
