Damn I would give anything to go back to 6 grade and be in band as well as have access to TH-cam in this day and age. You have no excuse to pay for anything other than hands on these day.
JohnX Drum Lessons I have started back at 1. I’m tired of being a mimic drummer. I want to know what I’m playing now. Yes it was very very helpful. Sorry if I came off rude. I just wanted people to realize how lucky they are to have youtube now to learn from.
This simple drum lesson has got me out of my comfort zone of playing 16th note triplets in a fill. I have been searching for a lesson like this for awhile now. Thank you!
Michael, thank you for your kind thoughts. I will continue to share my knowledge and love of drumming with the help of my friends and students. However, I do look forward to getting behind the kit again soon.
Thank you Jim, I look forward to getting behind the set again soon. However, until I do, I will enjoy working with my students and friends to produce valuable content for the drumming community

I'm glad you enjoyed the lesson. This is a concept that I use all of the time. I appreciate your kind thoughts. I look forward to getting behind the set again soon. God bless, JohnX
So sorry to hear of you health issue, your student is very proficient. Just curious about the square plastic pieces on some of the lug screws on the snare.

Leyen Sento start by learning the push pull technique . Once you’ve learned that and can play doubles up to about 200 bpm you should be good to go. It could take up to a year or more to get your doubles that fast and clean. I spent approximately 45 minutes to an hour a day working on push pull and double strokes; it took me about five months to get up to tempo. God bless, John X
JohnX Drum Lessons wow! Thanks for the reply, John, appreciate it! The thing is that I practice it within 5 months and I not even close to 200bpm 16th. Somewhere around 150. Just got a decent 5stroke roll a few days ago. And I practice 3 hrs each day (1h at morning, 1h at afternoon and 1h at evening. Thats why im asking.
Leyen Sento The key is push pull. Find a good teacher who can help you with it. I was going to do a video on how to play push pull properly, but started having health problems that prevented me from doing it. God bless, John X
Amazing lesson, performance and presentation!!! Thanks, John!
Thank you my friend. I appreciate your comment. Enjoy your drumming journey. John X
