    Yesterday I asked you guys what you wanted, You said a WTP episode.
    I present to you a 25 minute edit a day later... THAT'S HOW WE ROLL.
    It wasn't a coincidence I promise. ;) Thanks for watching.

    Seeing somebody struggle while practicing something new is the best inspiration to also start practicing. The struggle really is part of practice. I personally hate that feeling of not getting it, but I do agree that once you do, its the best feeling ever. This video inspires me to chase that feeling of "finally getting it"

    • @cx777o
      @cx777o 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Dont chase just the feeling, cherish the process of getting to that specific moment, "negativity" is also part of the journey :)

    I went to a Benny Greb clinic a couple years back and asked him about "1 . & a 2 . & a" (pretend the . is a rest!) sixteenth note ostinatos on the ride while he did eighth note triplets on the snare. I mentioned to him that I understand that if you slow it way down, it essentially becomes a 3 against 4 polyrhythm (with one of the 4s missing), but I was struggling executing that at the fast speeds that he did. His response was to let go of the math, to stop trying to play it "mathematically correct", and to instead, play the ostinato and learn to sing the triplets first. Don't try and execute the triplets in the left hand until you can verbally sing them. I've been approaching rhythm as math for years, and it kind of blew my mind to hear Benny Greb essentially say "let go of math and just try to visualize and then verbalize it". Might not work for everyone, but it was interesting to hear someone of that caliber give that kind of approach!

  • @Porker69
    @Porker69 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    This reminds me of Alan Dawson's drum ritual. I only made through like 12 of 55 lines. I had to slow it down to a crawl to get some of the triplet patterns. Crazy hard stuff

    I always laugh like crazy when you are making those faces when you are lost. I mean - I thoung I am the only one who looks like that. But that "oh shieeet" moments strucks so deep :D :D :D

  • @jamcorjeff1
    @jamcorjeff1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Kudos on your transparency. Your keeping it real for everyone. Actually SEEING you struggle gives everyone a heads up that screwin up IS part of practicing. Failing is a part of succeeding. If not, we'd all get it right the first time all the time. Where's the sense of accomplishment int that? Good job being inspirational👌

    Man this brings back memories. Those triplets with the samba groove fucked up my brain for a while. I thought I'd figured it out, and it sounded right, but my friend who was a better drummer than I pointed out that I was cheating. Once it clicks into place though, you've got it.

    @monstersaint 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Brandon, thank you so much for showing what it takes to begin to MASTER something. You have to play - as in games - with what you are trying to learn, literally, or else you end up rage quitting. It's best for me not focus on words such as "hard" or "too challenging". I wonder what would have happend if you slow the tempo down to 60 or even 50? But none of this is "shitty". It's a great example of a workflow for learning. Not "shitty" or "terrible", it's just the thing you will overcome in a few weeks and then you'll be smiling.

    This really made me laugh! I watched up to the 1/16ths and then clicked "watch later". Before I watched again I tried doing 1/8th triplets just tapping the floor and my knees and I also had a huge WTF moment!! I was quite chuffed to see that you struggled too! Great video mate :)

  • @davormaplenik2776
    @davormaplenik2776 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    OMG I had so much fun watching this! I can't believe I can do this better than Brandon! A friend showed me this exercise few years ago and I practiced it since. It did wonders for my limb independence. I pushed it so far I could do paradidles in quintuplets. Personally I like it better with bass drum in triplets and some 5 stroke roll around the set. Tnx for sharing all the process

    Hey man!
    I'm studying drums in germany and we learn the rudimental ritual by alan dawson to play over the samba.
    So in the ritual you have a lot of triplets, for example in the ratamacue and you get a nice polyrhythm with the straight samba in the basdrum and the triplets on top in the snare.
    Its definitly worth it to practice!
    Thanks for the video!

    I mean this in the nicest way but, it's nice to see you struggle! It really helps intermediate/advanced drummers realize there are always things we will struggle to play...it doesn't mean we suck! That's where my mind always goes, especially over osteanatos on the feet. 😦🥁🤯

    Doing this stuff has been crucial for me over the past year or two. No matter what I’m working on that day, I always squeeze in some Samba/Baiào ostinato work. Doing all this alongside a gap click is working hands/feet and timing all at once.

    Yeah man, Samba and Bossa are so hard compared to much more complicated (difficult) jazz or rock patterns. It takes hours of brain to body training. And then when you do get it, it merely sounds simple to the listener! Respect to the Brazilians!
