Just discovered your lessons and they are very good. Excellent explanation and expansion of the original idea making it so useful. Enjoying learning from you, although I find them a challenge as I'm not that good yet. Thank you for what you do & and keep them coming, please.
Great lesson. Great playing. I was looking at your drum book. Can you tell me, is the play along music you are playing to for your drum book available?
Hi Emilde, thanks! In my drum book(s) I only use/refer to actual songs. You can find full (free) playlists on TH-cam & Spotify. Search for 'Drummers Of The Future'! Enjoy!
New drummer here. Love the vid, but a bit lost on the count when you add the bembe beat (rim shot and toms). If I'm counting by 4 triplets (ex: 1-trip-let), does the bembe pattern begin on the 'let' of 1, and the toms hit on the 'trip' and 'let' of two?
You should count this last conga pattern for us? It’s completely different rhythm then the paradiddle groove and has different timing and you don’t count it for us.
I'm not 100% sure. To my knowledge, I'm actually demonstrating a Bembé groove. But in various books/lessons, nanigo & bembe are considered to be the same groove. Then again, I also found some examples where there's indeed a small difference in how's the bell pattern been approached. As I meant to record this lesson for the 'intermediate working pop & rock drummer', I didn't want it to make it overly detailed.
Excellent vid Beautiful drumming, Thank you!

Exactly!
can you provide fill notation at 3.25
Basically a six stroke rol! I have a video lesson about that as well!

(1)-(2)-3-(4)-5-6 & repeat. You also might wanna check the ‘Ionian Mode’ in my most recent tutorial: it’s the same groove! Enjoy!
It's a similar groove to the nanigo no? With a minor alteration. Great groove though👍

Noice. :)
It was a great lesson. Really learned a lot from it and your playing is very tasteful. Grooves super hard. Keep up the great work Martjin.
