    Rob, your lessons are so great 👍. I'm a beginner living room drummer, with a new TD 17 kit. I'm 66 years old, a bit rusty 🥴and drumming helps me to keep movable and happy and to train the brain 😁... You're teaching with much passion and composure and you help me making progress... 💪👍😎🥁

    I've been playing for some time and I'm also a pro teacher (not drumteacher though). I like the way you really give the minimum needed info to learn stuff. There appears to be the concept of trust for the viewer or at least a way to see the viewers (learners/students wahatever) reasonable persons, not some fragile beginners: no need to over emphasize everything and especially the hardness of everything. If you listen and practise, you'll learn it. Not a big deal. The big deal comes as time goes by and you learn little by little combine the learnt stuff into real music. Nice one!

    Though I wouldn't call myself a "beginner" drummer I have always struggled with conceptualizing odd-times and then trying to play them around the kit. Yours is the best explanation of the count phrasing that I have ever come across, and I thank you for it! Keep up the good stuff!

    Easily the most helpful drum lessons on youtube for us self-taught drummers. I taught myself to read music thanks to the rockschool and trinity books which was massively helpful, but never having a proper teacher you miss out on the help for a simplified thought process behind things like odd time signatures and the like. The drumming community is very thankful for your videos Mr Brown.

    Just for your information. The Καλαματιανός is one of the best known folk dances of Greece and it is danced to music in 7/8. It is really not difficult to dance a Καλαματιανός. The grouping (sub division) is 3-2-2 and you just step on the first count of each group, so on the counts 1, 4 and 6. You do much more complex things on your drums :-) Some other Greek dances in 7/8 are Τικ τρομαχτόν (2-2-3), Ζαβλιτσένα (3-2-2) and Μαντηλάτος (2-2-3). There exists really a lot Greek music with an odd time signature (5/4, 5/8, 7/8, 9/4, 9/8 etc.) and mostly people dance to that music, no matter what the bottom number of the time signature is. Anyway, just to let you know. I always enjoy your great lessons. Keep up the good work!

    • @petarpavasovic6333
      @petarpavasovic6333 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      They DO use the odd time signatures a lot, but not in the traditional form. Guitars and bass play patterns in, for example, 13/8 and the drummer is following that pattern with his kick drum while his hands are keeping the 4/4 ostinato to keep the flow. Its's called 'polymeters' and it can be very tricky.

    • @uglyjuel301
      @uglyjuel301 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Petar Pavasović yeah im aware of that but in my head if it all adds up to 4 it’s in 4: for example the intro for ragnarok by periphery has loads of odd patrerns but it all overlaps into 4. same with pretty much every meshuggah song

    • @magneticodedico8197

  • @pindles7088
    @pindles7088 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Question: instead of counting 1, 2 and then the push between beats 4 and 5 (5/8), what do you think about counting to three and putting the push on the AND of 3 effectively making it the one?
    Pros? Cons? Easier? Harder? Depends?
    Thanks Rob. I came from a divide the odd number by 2 and round up approach but I like your method more and more!
