Back in my jr high percussion class, we counted it 1 ta la ta li ta....

Good stuff here sir, as a retired professional drummer from Los Angeles, I would offer my insights to my students, in ways they had never heard before. Imo, one reason why many drummers (and all musicians really...) can't flow well or smoothly is they do not completely understand the power and vital presence of the rest, the empty space, sometimes called, 'the negative space' but imo that title does not do it justice. For me it is not so much the note we play and when we play it, but more so, what notes we do NOT play and when we do NOT play certain notes. The 'Yin and Yang' in nature, creates balance, which in turn creates what we call 'Flow', this, unlike timing and rhythm, this is not genre specific, the value of the rest lies in all genres, from R&B, funk, classical, pop, reggae, jazz, country, folk,, ...you name it, it is needed.

Hi Chris, I am from Dublin.... Ireland 😊

For the algorithms✌🏾

Man you rejuvenated my drum 🥁 aspirations bruh 🙌🏾

Can you recommend an electronic drumset where I could start practicing indoors. A set with versatility to play out as well?

Thanks!

Appreciate your dedication to teaching ♥️

💪🙏⚙️⚖️

Gracias

Please do not focus on your views of your videos it not about your view it’s about your spirit from Christ please keep going bro this video is the bestt

Thank-you for legitimately slowing it down- some of these guys even when they slow it are still going 80+ bpm!👍

What are they? Bramd, and what type of wood

Oh I love this. Going out to practice now!

ty man

Great lesson to follow

A valuable lesson for a novice(me!), many thanks👍🏼

Thank you Chris. A great warm up exercise for daily practice and getting your left hand working better. I really enjoy your no nonsense and precise videos. From a drummer of 50 years!

The real answer is an intuitive feel for 4/4....

Why starting with the left hand on a right-handed kit? Is that part of the exercise or are you left-handed?

Start with the application, then break it down.

Nice one, mate .great relly really enjoyed the video, and they way you teach groovy

Good stuff man thx!

Hey Chris Sorry to bother man but I’m trying to figure out how all those patterns are going when you mash them together!?? Looks like you hit drums randomly cuz it’s not the same every time 😧🤔🤔 So maybe is it up to me?😓

Man im so greatful for these vids, i wish they were around years ago when i started, thanks bruh!

This is a great exercise.👍🏾 One can take it a step further by next having the metronome click on only the “e’s”. Then the “&’s”. Then the “uh’s”. You will notice immediately exactly where your weakness is. All musicians tend to rush when playing the “e’s & uh’s”. This will help fix that.👊🏾👊🏾

I love your lessons! This looks great for building the door of course, and if playing it like you do, build up the weak hand by playing open handed. Literally the kind of super exercise that can slowly be raised in speed to gain foot control and left hand timing. Love it!

Bonzo.

Nice one, I'll definitely try this out but I have to ask, is there's a reason you're starting with a left-leading paradiddle? It seems like this would work just as well with RLRR LRLL RLKK RLKK. Either way round, it's a good pattern so thanks for sharing!

❤❤alright now! I love that we can see your foot work

Love the breakdown. The only thing I wonder is why lead with the left hand?

Thanks Chris

I really love this one cuz there’s more than just one pattern inside. Only with this you can make a short solo 😊 I didn't understand at first and then I saw that you explained in the summary that we add other patterns Thanks a lot Chris… I’ll try that out God bless 🙏🏽

💪🙏

Gracias

Thank u bro. Real thorough with the explanation. I'm trying this today

So beautifully explained. Thanks bro!❤

Hey this lesson is the first step in note rates and very very valuable to learn this starting out. After you do 16ths, go back the opposite way to the 1/4's back and forth like that several times, maybe 5-10 minutes a day. same with just hands, only add in 16th triplets 32nds 32nd riplets, 64ths 64th triplets. add 5's 7's and 9's...in place. The most valuable lesson in the world right there. Great following your vids going to get into all of them. I am restarting playing after being away from it, for way too long. This time I am doing the things a i regretted not doing the last time, like practice pad work.fully embracing what I used to not want to do.

Found your videos on your page after i subscribed. I think that right there might have opened my eyes to the mysterious 1/4 note triplet. The revalation here is the 8th note hihat with 8th note triplets is exactly the same as 1/4 note triplets played with 1/4 note hihat. It makes so much sense I don't know how I did not see it. See I can count 1 & A 2 & A... but it is weird trying to play every other 1/4 note, 1 x A x & x 3 x A x &, NO WONDER i WAS TROUBLED. Is it too much of a cheat to start thinking of my 1/4note triplets as 8th notes at half the same tempo. sO i CAN COUNT IT, I am enlightened once again. I just don't want to skip doing it right if it is going to matter later. (1 x A x & x 3 x A x &), while also thinking 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &, thats why drummers using 1/4 triplets on the bass between the 2 and 4 deserve more recognition. A lot of mental brain activity going on there. Many potential jokes there....

Liked half way through. Love how you control it out wow

I would totally take lessons from you!

If this is too easy for people put a 1/4 bass drum added to it, then if thats too easy put a salsa pulse to the bass drum to it. dun-dundun-dundun-dundun in 3/2, (or is it 2/3?) well if thats too easy put a hihat pedal "chick" on the triplet rest between the bass drum notes. Dun-chik-dun-dun-chik-dun-dun-chik-dun-dun-chik-dun... I can't do it... YET!

Loving this pattern 🙏

Thats a cool warm up and well spoke lesson for beginners. I know my first temptation was to say forget starting with left and to do the paradiddle starting with right. I wonder what made you start on the left and if it is the same reason why I decided that it is a very crucial, specific, point that it must be the left as you made it. I am suspecting it is for the same reason that I have a more difficult time starting paradiddle on the left and what it does is devolops the left hand as you work through the drill? At least mentally. Maybe when this drill is natural shifting the start of the paradidlle like garabaldi would be the next 7 sets of exersizes? Like Stick Control book, Then move the accents one note at a time, all start points with all accents, masterclass.

Love you daddy ❤❤❤❤

This is Great! Thank You

You said by the end of this lesson I can play this at 120bpm. Unless BPM means Broken Practice Meters - Nope. Not even close. ---- I'm just hazing you a little. I love your content, bro. I took your RLLRLLKK lesson a couple of weeks ago. I finally have it pretty damn tight. I phrase it differently than your instructions, though. Your video said it's all straight hits, but I found that making it mostly ghost notes and not playing it all strictly on the 8th sounds really good. I wish there was some way for me to share a tab here. I think you'd like what I did to it.

Awesome job!! For most of you asking if you can apply it to a piece of music, I recommend finding a song that you like and don't play the groove. Play this concept and try different ways of making it fit. Play it with the timing and of the song you choose and play it out of timing. And if you have a hard time trying to find the timing then just practice it throughout the song until it fits. Practice at slower and faster speeds as well.
