Thank you for this! It is so strange: This and the “From the Page to the Gig” lesson have addressed something with which I’ve struggled for years. I learned all sorts of rudiments and such from my marching days, but I have really found it difficult to translate that knowledge to the kit in any meaningful way. Your lessons are really opening up my mind and helping me see and hear the through-line linking marching chops and musical applications on drum set. Thank you!!
I play open handed position, hi hat with left hand & snare with right hand. So I guess I could switch it up a bit to practice this on my drum kit? Thanks for the lesson Mike!
I'm still working on getting the 2022 exercise with the Swiss Army Triplets up to speed. I've been playing the drums for years now, and I'm a little bit pissed at how long it takes me to internalize a new sticking...😤 This is great for me tho. For ages, I just kinda "chopped wood" up top and did all the grid work with my right foot. These pad exercises are exactly what I need now...Thnx Mike...🥁
Beat 1 RLRRLL Right Hand Lead Paradiddlediddle Beat 2 RLLRRL Six Stroke Roll Beat 3 RLRLRR Right Hand Lead Double Paradiddle Beat 4 LRLRLL Left Hand Lead Double Paradiddle I learn better visually, so I wrote it down. Thanks Mike!
I already di all of that for you, visually, auditory, slow, fast, sticking, notation. It's all there for you in the description, but I'll paste it here too :) ►Notation for this lesson: bit.ly/3JIzNSB
That exercise it’s very cool. my son and I went into it for an hour practice on the pad. Now we schedule it for a week and next week we will move it on the drum practice! Thank you Mike 👍🏻
Mike; your one of very few instructors that doesnt lose sight of why we voluntaraly indulge in this huge landscape of Musical-Groove’. Feel,Exploration and Fun. Thanks 👍
Hello Mike, it is a so great exercise with a direct application on the instrument. That is really usefull!! You sound amazing and hope you'll come to Quéebec City someday for a clinic!!
Ahhh love this one Mike! I JUST nailed your PASIC warm up 6 stroke roll triplets in paradiddle pattern (learned it Lh lead too)...these challenges push me further than I think I can go, every time. Thank you so much, as always, for your wonderful generosity in sharing these. 👍👊🥁.
I've never been that great at rudiments, but this has really caught my interest, so I'm working on it. I'm still not even up to "playing with a metronome" tempo yet, but it IS getting better. Something about it reminds me of what Bill Bruford plays at the beginning for Yes' "Close to the Edge". Do you (Mike, or anyone else here, actually) know what I'm talking about? Does anyone know if Bill is actually playing a steady rudiment pattern on the cymbals there, or do you think what Bill plays is more free form? I've never been able to nail it down.
What a priceless lesson. To make a set of combo rudes and make them groove.. geez lou-eze Mike👏👏. Who says rudes sound like exercises on the kit …beautiful
Awesome video as always! Thanks so much, Mike. One thing, it would be super helpful to have the patterns shown on screen while you play. Keep up the great work!
It's all waiting for you inside the description of this video. The notation is fully interactive. You can read the tab or the notation, all the sticking is there. You can reverse the sticking if you are left handed. You can slow it down to 30 or speed it up to 300. I always put the interactive notation in the description of all of my videos. I hope that helps :)
what do you use for recording the video and sound? This looks very professional and well done. I ask because I have online drum lessons with my teacher and would be nice to have good video and sound quality on my skype calls for him to see and hear me like this video was clean and clear in video and sound. thanks
just wanted to say I've been working on getting up to 90 bpm on the kit for the last 3 weeks and finally did it the other day. I couldn't believe how, after doing this for so long, it improved a lot of aspects to my regular pop/rock drumming?! Completely opened my eyes. Thanks for this
I was wondering what changed between the pad phase and the kit phase, and I finally got what's slightly different in the ending part. It goes : R l R l r r L R l R l l on the kit instead of R l R l r r L r L r l l on the pad... Which is in fact the same pattern BUT the accents are moved one step later, to the right hand once again instead of the left, in order to conclude the beat on the ride ! I guess it would have been long to explain, or Mike simply forgot about telling us ! :)
Great stuff as always. How do you count a six stroke in your head? I can "word" out para-diddle-piddle and double para-diddle in my head. The best I have is one trip let 2 triplet and it ain't working.
Question - I have been working on this the last few days and what I’m not sure about is where the bass pedals come into play because they weren’t mentioned and maybe this lesson too far advanced for me to understand maybe something that already is understood lol
Great question. This entire exercise is phrased in 16th note triplets. You can also click on the notation link in the description. The notation is fully interactive, and will allow you to adjust the tempo to your liking. :-)
Hi all. The Click Metronome suggests it's only for iPhone and Apple Watch. Anyone successful in downloading on on their iPad like Mike has on his? If not, how does he do it?
Giving this 20 minutes and it's slowly coming together for me... Had to write it down and look a few things up about accents but starting to get it on the pad, at least.
@@gfuterfas No need to write it down, I already did it for you. The link to the notation is in the description and you can slow it down as much as you want while playing along to it :)
@@mikeslessons Ah thanks! I was confused because when you broke it down slowly in the video, I thought you had an accent on the third R of the 1st line (paradiddle-diddle), but it's not in the notation, and that's much easier to play. I loved your From the Page to the Gig video -- I'm a new drummer and that was excellent! Thanks for posting these.
I'm so happy that I learned my rudiments so that now I can play this exercise from the first attempt!

I love your enthusiasm and zeal for playing. It shows in your playing. thanks for the rudiment stew.

Dude, this "Groove Scribe" of yours is so cool! Thanks a lot! :D
Hey, this is from an hold groove you share some time ago, thanks for reinforce this useful sticking!!!

This is outstanding, Mike! My birthday present arrived early!

@@ronsissons8994 No worries at all. I tend to use the products I create, or in case of GrooveScribe, co-create. Hope it helps Ron :)
Nice approach to good ideas 💡🎼🎵🎶🥁🙌
@@mikeslessons you need to put these on video man, be aware pedagogics
That exercise it’s very cool. my son and I went into it for an hour practice on the pad. Now we schedule it for a week and next week we will move it on the drum practice! Thank you Mike 👍🏻
Mike is such a likeable guy, which makes learning fun. You're a natural. Thank you!
I'm studying your lesson. Great 👍. Thank's Mike
Mike, you’re the best! Seriously
That sound so great! I'm mostly a self taught player, and rudiment is not my strong suit... This definitely motivates me to work on it! Thanks a lot
Mike; your one of very few instructors that doesnt lose sight of why we voluntaraly indulge in this huge landscape of Musical-Groove’. Feel,Exploration and Fun. Thanks 👍
Hello Mike, it is a so great exercise with a direct application on the instrument. That is really usefull!! You sound amazing and hope you'll come to Quéebec City someday for a clinic!!
Absolutely love this lesson. It’s great how you’ve made rudimentary playing fun & funky but simple to understand.
Thanks, much appreciated
Mike over the past I guess fifteen years or so I've been watching you you've gotten a lot better should be proud of yourself
Wow, what a revelation,, you'll get better if you practice (for 15 years).
Have YOU gotten better in anything in the last 15 or 45 years?
@@c3N3q hahaha
pure gold as always master!
I Appreciate You🙏
Definitely trying this on the kit, tomorrow since it's 10 minutes before midnight here in Bulgaria! :D Thank you so much, Mr. Johnston!
ありがとうございます。
本当にカッコいいです。
僕もいつの日か出来るように練習します。
I love it!! Is hard to pick up by learning by self learning /_\ Thanks you sooo much!!
Brilliant video, Mike! Loved it :)
Man I love Mikes incessant optimism! Such a great dude and the content is so wonderful and refined, like the interior of a Starbucks.

best drumer of yt and super nice lessons thanks for all
Thanks a lot Mike. Wonderful exercise... it's very useful to warmup and can also apply during solo performance. Regards, from India.
Absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I've never been that great at rudiments, but this has really caught my interest, so I'm working on it. I'm still not even up to "playing with a metronome" tempo yet, but it IS getting better.

I’m definitely going to try this out. One question, what’s the metronome app you are using?
Thanks, Mike! Great ideas to take to the kit, and as usual presented wonderfully. Much appreciated, look forward to your next session.
Nice feel and great that it translates to the drum set so seamlessly.
Good Job !❤ the best i saw. Thank you for show us ! The cymbal on the right side is a crash or splash?
Thank you. This is so awesome.
Great lesson! Does anyone know what practice pad he's using in this video? Thanks!
Fantastic exercice Mike ! Perfect for mental and muscle memory and also great for working on orchestration on the kit. Love it !
You know I'm not even a drummer and I really liked this lesson and I have to say your method of teaching is also very good. Thankyou for this.
Dayam this sounds sick!
Awesome and CHALLENGING lesson Mike. What softwre are you using to get the giant metronome numbers? That seems helpful.
Awesome warmup, ill def introduce this into my regimen. Which pad is that btw? Looks and sounds great!
Love it Mike!
Thanks a ton Cameron. I hope you have fun with it!
Love the groove, man! Def gonna practice this
Awesome video as always!

My 2nd video with you and you've motivated my sticks out of the bag!
Dude, you rock. Love it! Heading to the pad now. 🤘🏻😜🤘🏻
Love your passion!!!!! thx!Mike!
That is such good drumming. Your flow is truly admirable.
This is groovy! I write Drums infused music. Mike it would be awesome if you’d release your breaks and loops sample pack. Cheers!
Thank you Mike!
adoro questo batterista semplice preciso ed essenziale grandioso
great lesson!! thank you for this Mr Johnston

THIS IS SO SICK
Glad you enjoyed it my friend :)
Excellent.
Nice!!!!!! Thank you!!!!

So glad you like it. The link for it is in the description of all of my videos here on TH-cam 🍵🙏🍵🙏

YES!!! That’s so awesome to hear my friend 🍵🙏🙏🍵
This one is cool. Thank you very much..
Hey Mike, great work as always!! what kind of practice pad and pad surface is that? looks like a prologix with a new kind of surface/top on it?
Whats the cymbal on the right..next to floor tom...thx mike😊
That’s “Thunder Butter”. Byzance 20” Extra Thin Hammered Ride 🍵🙏🍵

Damn this was nasty.
I had t thought about doing this before but now I’m off to the kit!
That was lovely stuff
Top.bem explicado 🥁🥁🥁🥁
Great stuff as always. How do you count a six stroke in your head? I can "word" out para-diddle-piddle and double para-diddle in my head. The best I have is one trip let 2 triplet and it ain't working.
I always count 16th note triplets like 8th not triplets, just twice in a row. So… 1&a1&a 2&a2&a etc. hope that helps.
Great video ! 🤟🏾🥁
4:50 THAT RIDE is PRISTINE!
3 days in and I'm at 50 BPM with 4 straight perfect tries without flinching. How do you train for speed?
That’s good sh1t!!!! Also, subscribed, thank you
Very cool!😎
Question - I have been working on this the last few days and what I’m not sure about is where the bass pedals come into play because they weren’t mentioned and maybe this lesson too far advanced for me to understand maybe something that already is understood lol
great!
Are the double paradiddles played as straight 16ths or sextuplets?
Great question. This entire exercise is phrased in 16th note triplets. You can also click on the notation link in the description. The notation is fully interactive, and will allow you to adjust the tempo to your liking. :-)
Qual APP tu usa metrônomo??
what brand drum heads are these! do they wear off less fast than the remo heads?
@Mike what pad do you use?
What kind of metronome app are you using?
Hello from France😊
Super exercise 😃
Juste une question, j aime le visu du métronome. Qu utilises tu?
Merci et a tres vite.
The link for it is in the description :)
@@mikeslessons I didn t see it. Thank you so much.
Hi all. The Click Metronome suggests it's only for iPhone and Apple Watch. Anyone successful in downloading on on their iPad like Mike has on his? If not, how does he do it?
That is so freaking saucy
Super. Jak se říká u nás " ale musí se to odsedět"... . . .
Hey Mike how you doing
太棒了 感謝分享
What are you using for your click track? That numeral thing that blinked.
It’s in the description of this video and all the videos I post here on TH-cam :)
映像に出てくる、メトロノームアプリを教えて下さい。
A little rudiment shhtewww 😅 Great stuff Mike! Ty!
Mike’s and my version of “nice and slow” are completely different. 😂
LOL! I bet our versions are actually the same. This is my “not sure if social media has the patience for this at 30bpm” version of nice and slow 😂🍵😂🍵
Ha! when he says "try it with me" and I'm staring blankly... I suppose I should learn these rudiments first? And how you're accenting them?
Giving this 20 minutes and it's slowly coming together for me... Had to write it down and look a few things up about accents but starting to get it on the pad, at least.
