Wow! I'm a beginner and this sir is amazing for me. It initially sounded and looked complex, but after you showed the basics it was like...it was just that simple. Thank you!
I just staryed playing drums... and I watch you and a lot of others like you everyday! I do an hour on drums by myself daily and then I play with my husband and a few friends for an hour or two everyday also while they play electric guitars! I've learned so much from all of these videos! and I sincerely thank you! I'll be a drummer in no time!
sup kj I'm a new drummer who started playing in August and today I stumbled on your channel and it was really helpfully, I all ready learned half of the fills on your channel today and can incorporate them in songs thanks for the help, because of your help I've created my own fills, thanks
mind blown, this is where i am missing. i always dont pay attention to my base drum it jus go whenever i like when i do a fill. now i know how ppl get the nice base sound at the right interval, thansk dude!
Wow! I started about 2 months ago and came across this. Played with this for 30 minutes straight and loved the feel of it! Very simple but at the same time very challenging - and fun! - for a beginner like me.
This is so helpful, this will help me get fills down. I always do the snare, tom, tom, crash, but this seems like it can help open that up a lot. Thanks!
Wow im excited how easy and cool you can play on that kind of small Kit. I don´t really understand by now,why some Drummers have these huuuuge Set Ups. Btw that was a really impressive lesson for me,because i really need some new inspiring Fill ins. And i also like this Kick Thing. That sounds really pretty cool. Thank you very much for this KJ!
Bruce Wayne Glad I could help Mr. Wayne. I like smaller kits because they force me to do more with less. That's the kick drum/foot development is so important. Keep playing, bud!
I've been working on these for a long time now and trying to improve. Thanks for the added value. Also, adding a high not in place of a drum really makes these fills sounds amazing to me. Just one note and it's completely game changing. Great video.
I was between signing with drumeo or you. I keep coming back to your videos since you're exactly the style I want to built my foundation from. I'm signing up with you. I will upload a video when I get decent enough. Thanks for these videos.
Love it. Call it "beginner" all you want, but I feel it challenges a beginner and raises our level! I've been playing for a year and I can't nail this at a fast tempo ---yet! Excited to keep trying tho. There's a million ways to use RLK and even RLRK combos! Thanks!
After seeing this tutorial, I took it to the kit and used it in my 'Uptown Funk' drum cover I just completed. I hope you dont mind that I gave you some credit in my drum cover description. I am a 'beginner' after a 30 year break, so I like finding the easy and simple concepts and try to incorporate it into my playing. Thanks so much for the information.
I've been working on something really cool which is: Bass, hi, snare, bass, snare, snare, bass, h-tom, snare, bass, snare, m-tom, bass, L-tom, snare, bass, bass & crash and the sticking is RLK LRK RLK LRK RLK KX and its really cool
The breakdown is goodman... honesty I clicked because I was going to give u advice cas I teach my kids and teach friends too but you have it down 😁 good job!
hey man i have to say i love your videos.very practical well presented.id love to see your approach on grooves.and groove development.fast and slow tempo.
+KJ Rias maybe that was wishful thinking, I've only been teaching him for a month or so, he needs more practice and basic rudiments first. definitely gonna get him onto your videos once he's got some more basics down though.
+bRad “bRadicalMagic” Nichols Thanks Brad! I've been considering getting back into the double bass. Mastering your single pedal is crucial, but i've been hearing some awesome double bass licks lately that have me curious.
Your illustration of the R-L-K made this concept finally land with me. Mind blown. Thanks a ton man.
+Judd Dupuis BAM! Easy as that. Glad I could find the right illustration for you Judd. Keep it up.
+Judd Dupuis Second that.

Yay, another TRX cymbal user. I cannot get enough of their cymbals. They kick soooo much musical arse.

This is so helpful, this will help me get fills down. I always do the snare, tom, tom, crash, but this seems like it can help open that up a lot. Thanks!
There are very good teachers in the net but you KJ are really great !!! Very easy way to explain it simple an understandable. Great skills indeed!

Holy dooly, this is a fill I have wanted to learn for ages, thanks heaps
I've been working on these for a long time now and trying to improve. Thanks for the added value. Also, adding a high not in place of a drum really makes these fills sounds amazing to me. Just one note and it's completely game changing. Great video.
Is this guy still drumming? Do you know?
You are like a sweetheart drummer for me.. Thanks darling
at about 2:40 when he shows the "kick first" version, triplets leading with kick are also often referred to as bonham triplets
I love your energy. keep drumming!
One of the first concepts I learned when I started thanks to KJ. Thanks, man! Came up with some sick chops with this concept!
That's awesome, Alexis! I'm honored

Some times it just takes failing and failing and failing but once it clicks it clicks. thanks KJ!

Hey man! I like the way you're communicating, it's very understandable for me. Thank you. Greetings from Argentina.
I was impressed with this so much I have parted with £17.53 of the finest Great British Pounds, which is like half a lesson where I live.
Love it. Call it "beginner" all you want, but I feel it challenges a beginner and raises our level! I've been playing for a year and I can't nail this at a fast tempo ---yet!
Excited to keep trying tho.

Thanks Kermit! I try to teach the way that I would want to learn.
A whole video of "Sorry for noodling" or a T-shirt with the KJ Rias logo on front and "Sorry for noodling" on the back would be cool.

Which State are you from KJ Rias? I was trying to pick up your accent, I lived a few years in Minnesota and sounds like from somewhere near there haha
Totally in love with you videos man. You're going to make me a killer drummer!

Love it, Great sound, nice fills, very good video, Big Thank you for uploading
Happy to help, bud. Thanks for watching
You are my best newest discovery ! How do you live without a double bass drum pedal , how ?
Killer LICKS & fills bruh, THANKS !
+bRad “bRadicalMagic” Nichols Thanks Brad! I've been considering getting back into the double bass. Mastering your single pedal is crucial, but i've been hearing some awesome double bass licks lately that have me curious.
The double bass just facilitates such awesome depth a single CAN'T facilitate . IMHO .
2nd vid I've watched. Amazing teaching man. Sub earned!
Sweet chops you've got going. It's always fun to see some stupidly easy fills sound great at any given tempo. :)
Thanks! And yes, agreed.
simple and very useful.. tks
Can you PLEASE make video to teach some tricks in Joe Morrelos solos like take a five sastilian drums ...Please?
Super helpful! Have you ever done a video to explain how to properly tune your drums?
Hey Gregory. I haven't done a tuning video yet but I'll put that on the list. Thanks for the request!
You are awesome! Thanks...
i love this drummer!!!!
We dig it! Noice!
Tom waits percussion
it`s great brother thank you. God Bles You
Thanks Benjamin!
very helpful tutorial thx bro
Easy fills.. But it has a punch.. I love the fills..
could you possibly do the fill like this such as the following?
1~Floor Tom
&~Hi Hat
2~Bass
&~Snare
3~Snare
&~Bass
4~Hi Tom
&~Hi Tom
You sure could! Any orchestration you like
i cant believe i couldnt think of this.. i hardly ever incorporate my kick drum in my fills but im gonna start ha. thanks
You're welcome, Jimmy! It adds a whole new dimension to your drum fills. My mind was blown when I figured it out listening to older drummers.
that was really helpful
you are rocking .
thank you so much
you're awesome dude thank you for this video
Thanks for the support David!
