Something that I've always found amusing about rudimental drumming is that it's so ridiculously hard that even people at really mediocre levels of progression look like supermen compared to the average percussionist. People who could be considered master rudimental drummers like Scott Johnson or any of the guys in presidential bands like Jeff Prosperie are basically untouchable in terms of hand coordination to those outside of the idiom, with the exception of the top extreme metal drummers and even as fast as those guys are I doubt they could just casually grid book reports at 130 like most serious rudiment ninjas could
Awesome progress, sorta crazy the difference in cleanliness over 2 years. You might like scottish style snare drumming too, it's a different challenge to american marching style and you can even compete against other adults if you wanna do that.
Man... Back in the day, after I no longer had a venue for my chops, I thought I might look into joining a pipe band. I went in, and their snare player spent a practice with me. I could drum circles around him, but my technique was completely unsuited for Scottish drumming. Scottish drumming is like... Imagine a mediocre snare player who's had a bilateral stroke. 8-/ After that one practice, I decided against it.
@@TheShurikenZone I did both scottish and american snare drumming in high school, definitely very different styles but really expanded my drumming. For some stuff like jigs I was completely making it up as I went, really some of my favorite times was playing with a solo piper that knew the music. American marching snare on the other hand is much more rudimental but I think it doesn't teach a lot of drummers to think outside of the box. Technical ability on both sides can get wild but I think some older scottish guys have the edge as they've been playing since they were little, some of the grade 1 solos blow my mind. Don't even get me started on how wacky scottish notation is....
bro your october 2021 is way better than me now, what you can do now is extremely impressive, is this just a hobby or your job? if so you could do really well as a percussion director as a side hustle possibly
Weekdays maybe 1 hr a day and over the weekend like 2 hrs per day, sometimes up to like 5-6hrs . But i mostly just practice fun stuff/ learn/write random stuff . I don’t have a routine or anything. I could prob actually practice my technique and fundamental stuff more but i mostly just play whatever i feel like that day. If i have trouble with a certain thing ill maybe work on it for 20 mins a day or something until i figure it out
Good work! This inspires me to be keep working harder and get better!🙏
Every birthday… every Christmas… all Michael got was more pads.
Great stuff, dude. Keep grinding.
i love to see it. graduated hs in 2020 and rarely pick up sticks and a pad. might've inspired me to go warm my hands up 👍
Soooooo gooood!

Yeah those guys are insanely good

@@rippah669 Dear Lord... I've seen plenty of pipe music notated, but... I've never seen what the snare music looks like. 8-/

Thank you i really do this for fun but i appreciate that
How long do you practice per day?
Weekdays maybe 1 hr a day and over the weekend like 2 hrs per day, sometimes up to like 5-6hrs . But i mostly just practice fun stuff/ learn/write random stuff . I don’t have a routine or anything.
