Thanks for pointing out the clinic coming up in May and providing a free trial link! And for the occasional reminder to play with a click. The main thing I remember learning from El Estepario is his rejection of a "talent" concept and the belief anyone can get that good, with dedication like you mentioned. I think Theo has a good shot!
Thanks for watching! And yeah, I think that’s what makes El Estepario so likeable. Instead of positioning himself as this legendary drummer, he just punts the fact that working hard will get you to his level. Huge inspiration.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 🤝
I had a private drum teacher. He was in a touring band at the time, so it was kind of an erratic schedule, but I felt like I made more progress in a few lessons with him than in the few years prior to that. Unfortunately he moved out of the state and also developed some severe health problems, so I'm not able to take lessons from him anymore, and I feel like I'm never going to find a teacher that good again.
Sorry to hear than, man! Keep looking and I'm sure you'll find a new teacher that ticks all the boxes.
Your really underrated
Thanks for the kind words :)
Thanks!!👍👍👍
I think the closed roll is another nessesary rudiment
Super cool upload!
Theo is so cute 🥰
He’s got his mom’s good looks.
Regarding #6: I have spoken to a number of pro drummers who have played professionally for years. Every one of them without exception said that whenever they’ve been hired, it’s because they can keep time, hit their figures, and facilitate their band’s music. None of them have ever said they’ve ever gotten hired because they can play blushdas or play in 7/8 time or any of the fancy stuff.
I recently realized that I have never heard one of my favorite drummers, Steve Jordan, play anything that could be described as a “chop.” Maybe he’s played chops and I just can’t remember, but this goes to show that what makes him great isn’t chops. It’s groove.
Too true, man! I also love how this reinforces the idea that you don't need to be an advanced drummer to make it as a musician. You could honestly just know how to groove well and be easy to work with. It's better to put more time into developing those skills. BUT, it's always fun to play crazy things on the drums. Just don't focus on that if it gets in the way of building the necessary skills you need.
I'm so happy I left unhealthy comparisons behind me a while ago. Now, all that is left when I see better drummers, is inspiration and the urge to learn from them.
Haha! Your son is so cute! 😊
I agree with all the rudiments you listed but I would 100% add six stroke rolls and five stroke rolls in there. Just learn those 2 rudiments open up the possibility for a million different orchestrations of them around the kit.
100%. Six stroke rolls would be my next option up, but you can’t really play them without having good doubles, which is why I capped it there!
I’m currently working on a big video for six stroke rolls as it’s the pattern I play 90% of the time 😂
@@brettclurdrums getting my six stroke rolls fast was probably the turning point between beginner and intermediate for me
@@illie2852 epic! Have you tried RllrrLRll? That's a 9-note pattern. Once you start playing with odd groupings, you get into advanced territory. Sounds soooo nice when played tastefully.
@@brettclurdrums yessir, teacher showed me it
Regarding #1: even the greatest drummers make this mistake. Robert Plant said that on the day John Bonham died in 1980, he was in an especially depressed mood about his drumming. He said to Plant on their way to practice, “everyone in the world is a better drummer than me. How about next time we practice, I’ll sing and you play the drums?” He passed away that evening after hitting the bottle.
Bonham had that issue for his whole career. There’s a legendary story that he destroyed a hotel room in a fit of drunken rage after he found out that Karen Carpenter had placed ahead of him in a “best drummers” poll that Playboy Magazine had published in the mid-70s. Yikes.
The point is that if John Bonham couldn’t handle comparing himself to others, there’s no way us mortals will ever be able to do it and enjoy making music at the same time. As Teddy Roosevelt said, “comparison is the thief of joy.”
Man, that's such a good story. Bonham is literally considered one of the greatest of all time. So that's SUPER on point with the first mistake in this video. Thanks for that, bro!
karen carpenter sucked
