Dr. Beatdown is one of the best instructors in the internet today! I see he has taken Many tips from Chapin and breaks it up into pieces for us to understand and apply. This man is the new age instructor for the world! He deserves a better following!
If there was a TH-cam Award show you would win the Best Drum Channel category...without question. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos for us.
I started drum lessons at 15. Now 58 years old and still playing. I had an incredibly talented and technically proficient drummer as my first teacher, and he was a hell of a nice person. He was also the worst drum teacher Ive ever come across! I wish he'd been as relaxed and inspiring as you are. My wish is that every drummer, regardless of age or ability, finds their way to your pages. You represent the very best attributes of your craft. My thanks for sharing your knowledge, enthusiasm and wisdom with us all.
yeah, this dude has the most important quality teachers can have....patience. and he keeps things slow and easy to learn. i have been banging away for years and these tips are very helpful and eye opening, great job bud!
Not only for guys :-) I'm having a really tough time trying to figure out fills. I always panic for some reason and begin to rush and make a mess of it all and lose count. And this is the absolute best video I've ever seen. Tomorrow I will start with practicing these fills. I learn pretty quick so I should be well on my way.
Hi Rob, Thank you..well I think you are the one that is going to take help me take my playing to another level. I will give you an update next week.😊 May I send you one of my videos?
@@RobBeatdownBrown Hey, another chic drummer here...and she could have written exactly what I was about to! I actually stopped the video after your 1st pattern to leave a message about how awesome it is so far. I haven't even watched the whole video yet but I am already impressed. I had lessons when I was 12 ish, now 48 and getting back to them seriously now 😃
As a 63 year old semi beginner (started at 60) I really get a lot from your videos. I will work on the "developing your weaker hand" techniques and these fill stickings. Thanks from Bellingham WA!
Watching your videos truly helps me understand exactly what ive been doing for 45 years....So glad ive been able to find a teacher like you...You get it...mostly i GET YOU! GIDDY UP! 😎
I've been playing since I was ten years old and I'm in my 30's now...I moved to another state and hadn't played in almost 10yrs. I had gotten a bit rusty. These fills and the other vids you posted have really help me to get back in my groove now thatI'm back playing again! Thank you for actually TEACHING!
OMG! YOU have given the best guidance to drum ZEN! It feels incredible when I use the fills. LRRL RLRL. The last one in this video. You in one video, taught me the next level. I've been playing and trying to learn since 2015. And have been stuck, but kept trying. You gave me the cool confidence that was not not present. I was thinking of quitting. Total new level reached, What a great feeling !!!! Thank you!
I'm a self-taught hack drummer for sure--have played in many cover bands and at my Church here in Point Loma--and felt just nowhere-- looked up drum lessons youtube--you're awesome--keep teaching!
Wow. I’ve watched a lot of people trying to teach drums on TH-cam, but none of their methods are as effective and easy to follow as this guy’s. Thanks Rob.
Ray Zins he’s sharp. It really makes me realize that all I ever had going for me was smooth delivery and very steady rhythm. Was born with it. I don’t know anything about technique or terminology. I have talent that I have never been able to harness. I still love to play.
Best teacher that I never even met! your drumming took me into the 6/8 & triplet realm a year ago without feeling like an idiot. what a gem this your content is.
Just getting over my 3rd shoulder surgery in 4 years. Been drumming 40 years and I feel like I'm starting over(almost). This is a great lesson for competetive grooving. Doing these fill for just an hour and i feel way smoother and in control. Thanks for all your vids bro. You are appriciated.
I don't know if you will see this comment, but I just saw this video for the first time, as I only recently found your channel. I am learning so much from you. I am about to turn 65 and I've only been playing for a little over a year. I've never had lessons, I just learn basic beats of classic rock songs and do the best I can. I am only now learning about the importance of sticking and I think it is going to bring me to the next level. I got my Groove Responsibly T-shirt yesterday and wore it to band practice last night. :)
I'm a grandfather who loved drums as a child but wasn't in the budget then, but now my grandson at age 2 has an incredible passion for drums and drum sticks. I think this video is great for teaching bi-generational students, thanks!
As a fairly new drummer looking for good instructional videos, I can now say I found my "go to" guy!!! I learned more than just a few drum fills today and I'm feeling rather excited about it - SUBSCRIBED! Thanks, Rob.
Hey this is huge. As a new drummer, I've been trying to learn many different charted fills and have struggled to memorize them. I'm amazed how different these each sound by just changing the sticking on a common fill. Then spreading the fills across the kit opens up a whole new repertoire again. This is transformational yet easy to learn. Thanks!
Outstanding stuff, Rob. You are making better drumming more accessible for the large group of “just OK” drummers! All this stuff is clear & doable. The importance of the foundation of sticking vs the color & texture of the voicing is so fundamental - thanks for pointing out the order of priority! Likewise, your tutorial of kick drum pedal technique (+, 0, -), was clear and easy to grasp& practice. Many thanks!
You are amazing man. I just bought a $25 drum kit and within 15 mins I can play basic. You are the man . Soooooooo much in love with you and your personality . Keep up the good job mate
I never had a drumming teacher. I learned to play without the proper techniques. What I just watched gave great insight in what I am missing. Very encouraging and informative.
Wow, what a fantastic lesson. If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime! I got so much more out of this video than countless other "beginner fill" videos because you're teaching me how to come up with new fills on the fly from the ground up, and you showed me how to practice them effectively on a loop. I'm practicing all 5 patterns with a metronome on the up-beat. I will never freeze up when it's fill time, ever again (hopefully)! Thank you Rob
I am a left-handed,but play as a right handet...I'm pretty I play with churches and groups but I'm not professional with it.but this video just made me really realize that the sticking does make a difference..I developed a right handed way of playing over the years so I have that same sound but either I'm single stroking it or double bounce it..but it sounds jus like this video..I never really practiced left handed playing..but this video showed me a technique to playing..now my right leg needs lotsa practice I can't get the fill using the foot pedal..but..it sounds the same with what I do..u can bounce or slide my foot on the pedal but I can't control it to play a fill with it...I thought bout trying a double pedal for awhile but haven't yet..but again this video showed me something to practice
I started drumming years ago life kept getting in the way. I'm still a beginner but simply enjoy drumming for my head. Only now I have a two boys that like playing instruments. I have seen this fellow before I'm glad he is still one here teaching. You want your kids learning from someone good. ;- )
Self taught drummer here. I’ve always been good on a groove, but my sticking is horrible when it comes to fills. This video was super helpful. Not only for fills, but for motifs for solos as well. Thanks Rob. You’re the man!
I just started drumming and went on TH-cam to learn some basics. A lot of the people on youtube are kind of pretentious and seem to talk down to you. I love your videos. I keep coming back and you seem to sincerely enjoy helping us beginners!
Love em all! Simple yet versatile and creative. Will be trying all of them, especially number 4 as I normally tend to avoid any stickings that leave me with left hand on Beat 1 but it is interesting enough to help me work on this! Thanks Rob!!
Dude, awesome video again, I hate rudiments normally, not only did you put the accents clearly on the dark/light areas, you straight away put them into their usefulness within a grove... can’t wait for my practice day! 😂 (I’m a twin dad/NHS healthcare prof in UK, so drumming time is in super short supply). Thanks man, Ben
Been playing bass for about a year. My ADHD really keeps me from reaching my full potential on the bass, although getting good, I had to take up drums so I can push myself to stay in my studio. About 3 months ago I bought a used drum kit and decided to watch a few of your tutorials and a few on using double kick pedals and I swear I've been playing 4-6 hours a day during the week and weekends I'm in my studio 14-16 hours unless I have something goin on... everyone thinks I'm lying when I say I've been playing 3 months if that! Thanks man your video shows are all most people would need to actually become a drummer. Cant say I didn't have experience with beats because I'm also a DJ/engineer so I'm fluent with beats and counts and timing/measures and etc but I just wanted to give you some love back! Keep it up!
Rob man once again you read my mind. I use these all just jamming, it's when I start the think about my next few phrases I get caught up. Practicing the actual sticking mechanics I think will free my mind... Instinctively selecting one depending on the next phrasing..... And Plus 1 for the far right side crash.. I stumbled into the need as I do a good bit of floor tom work naturally. Having a crash and a splash far right allowed me more flexibility in connecting to new Phrases, as well as that reset to the snare is less manic..... If you do a clinic in the Washington dc metro area, or Atlanta Georgia area after this fall I'm in the front row.. Jah Bless
As a beginning drummer I'm trying to learn to keep a beat with some style. Your teaching technique starting with the easiest and going forward works for me. Thank you
I love your style , so far you are the best online teacher I have come across and glad I did. You make it look so easy. I really appreciate the exploratory style. Thank you.
THANKS! First thing I did was message my cousin and told him, "Hey, I saw the title of this drumming video and the first person that came to mind was YOU! " I wanted to be there support his endeavor. 😬
I drum mostly for my own recordings and until recently, I’d never really taken it very seriously. (I didn’t even understand why drummers learned rudiments.) Your approach is so organized and you evidently know how to “speak” to the so-so drummer. So glad I found your channel.
Hey Mr. Ropb Brown. So Beautifully explained to pick up each of the Fills. Will practice all and pick up . Thank you for the lesson. Would love to stay in touch as I progress with my drumming skills. Hope its not too late in life. I am 58.
Ok. I subscribed and I’m not even a drummer., but the way you teach, makes me think I could. Does that make sense? Anyway, love your channel, keep up the good work. You are doing a wonderful and important service for anyone that wants to learn. Cheers
Hey man, I really like not only your style, but also your easy to understand instructions! I am 64 years old and have always wished I could play drums. I have two young boys ages 3 and 6. And I would really love them (or at least one of them) to follow and learn from you. Your instructions are not only slow and basic, but also explained very easy to understand! Thanks man!
Just discovered this guy today. I’ve watched only two of his videos and he has answered so many questions I’ve had that no other instruction videos could! This is my main man going forward! Love his personality too!
I found this lesson last night. The first thing I did when I got home from work was get in the garage, fire up the kit, stick on my headphones and get this lesson up on my phone. I now have 5 fills written in chalk on the wall in front of me, I am going to stick the metronome on 60 bpm and work my way through these until I can nail them. This is one of the best drum lessons I have seen. Thanks for sharing.
True, but when need a carpenter to get a job done you don't care that there are master sculptors and designers put there. A carpenter will do the trick.
Add to my vocabulary? This is gonna be my vacabulary. Been able to keep a basic rock beat for years, made me a better guitar and bass player, but never really got in to the mechanics. Now I’m retired I’m a gonna put some time in on a wee ekit, gotta start somewhere. Been looking for a guy like you. Much thanks, from a happy subscriber. Oh the ‘Groove Resposibly’ T-shirt is so cool I got one for my son as well. Respect from Port Coquitlam BC
My dude, your vids are amazing. I'm a guitar player fed up with corona boredom and just got a Roland td1-dmk and these videos are the bomb. Keep it up!
I've been playing my whole life but am self-taught and missed out on a lot of the fundamentals. This is SO helpful and I'm already seeing changes in my playing. Thanks so much!
These are great building blocks, and if my wife wasn’t in bed already, I’d be trying these out on the kit right now. There’s always tomorrow! All of the patterns are great, but I really dig the third one. Cheers!
I've been playing drums for 40 years and I'm still learning. you are a wonderful teacher. Thank you for your hard work and these wonderful videos. I do appreciate it I'm sure everybody here watching those too.
I love that you provide more than an adequate amount of time on each fill to give the viewer enough time to catch on. Thanks dude I really learn a lot from your vids.
Rob, this is exactly what i was looking for; principles in drum fills. Will help me with my drum fills without me just copying/pasting someone elses fills. Hopefully i will ind these useful for 3/4, 12/8 time too.
Please definitely more videos for OK players. I learned to play in church and I learned by ear. First time I’m actually watching a lesson. And this lessons are just so easy to follow. And yes I’ll be getting my t-shirt. Thanks and please keep it going man.
Ik ben 68 jaar en heb vroeger nooit de mogelijkheid gehad om mijn drumspel kwalitatief te verbeteren. Dank zij Rob en zijn lessen heb ik weer plezier aan het drummen gekregen. Geweldige drummer en leraar. TOP
At seventy, I just started playing drums. I bought a kit and can't begin to tell you how I enjoy your lessons. You are a teacher Mr. Brown. Thanks so much. Peace, Just Sam
This is excellent. He’s not showing off, he’s actually teaching.
Sheri Luévano don’t you mean ‘beats things down’? 😂🤣Oh my sides, but yes he’s a fantastic teacher.
Dr. Beatdown is one of the best instructors in the internet today! I see he has taken Many tips from Chapin and breaks it up into pieces for us to understand and apply. This man is the new age instructor for the world! He deserves a better following!
Make no mistake. He can SHOW OFF! He just doesn't. His instruction is always crystal clear
Yes he is , one can see that he is dedicated and patient.
Agree
If there was a TH-cam Award show you would win the Best Drum Channel category...without question. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos for us.
Love the comment, man. Thanks much! 👊🏾🙂
Agreed
No doubt about it!
💯%
Yessir. One of the best that's for sure!

Best drum teacher on the internet. Period. Just my opinion. Thank you for these videos.
Do more videos for “ok” drummers!
OK 🤓🤘🏽
Yes please
Yes here too
Agreed
Haha for real.
Hi Rob, I am a beginner drummer, age 65 years young, and I am excited to begin with Fill #1 today. BTW, your clarity of instruction is outstanding!
Good for u sir! Keep at it
I've seen quite a few drum tutorials, but you are probably the best. Slow and easy and you show it and explain it well!!! Thank you!!!
I like your style of playing and teaching. There's no showing off just down to earth teaching. Great job bro.
I really want to play the drum. Need to get myself a real help for a set of Drums
yeah, this dude has the most important quality teachers can have....patience. and he keeps things slow and easy to learn. i have been banging away for years and these tips are very helpful and eye opening, great job bud!
There's an extra lesson for me in this video. How relaxed you are when you play! Gonna go away and try to do THAT! Thanks a ton.
Picking up drumming after 30 years and your channel is the bomb!
Not only for guys :-) I'm having a really tough time trying to figure out fills. I always panic for some reason and begin to rush and make a mess of it all and lose count. And this is the absolute best video I've ever seen. Tomorrow I will start with practicing these fills. I learn pretty quick so I should be well on my way.
Nice to see a woman hitter make an appearance! 🥁You’re a part of the 2% of my overall demographic. lol ✌🏽
Hi Rob,

Great to see the ladies get in on the action. There are some seriously talented women behind the kit!
NICE 🙂 Always cool to see the occasional lady hitters here in the room 🤘🏽Good on ya for gettin' back in the game 🥁
As a 63 year old semi beginner (started at 60) I really get a lot from your videos. I will work on the "developing your weaker hand" techniques and these fill stickings. Thanks from Bellingham WA!
This guy is as cool as they come!
“You know how we get down here!”
Thank you for helping with my drum
Journey Sir!
Best, Rich Holly

Watching your videos truly helps me understand exactly what ive been doing for 45 years....So glad ive been able to find a teacher like you...You get it...mostly i GET YOU!
GIDDY UP! 😎
I've been playing the drums for over 40 year's, and want to start teaching and he gave me great ideas to start with for my beginner students
I've been playing since I was ten years old and I'm in my 30's now...I moved to another state and hadn't played in almost 10yrs. I had gotten a bit rusty. These fills and the other vids you posted have really help me to get back in my groove now thatI'm back playing again! Thank you for actually TEACHING!
Enjoy adding to my vocabulary. Great instructor.

Walter debono professional drummer
I'm a self-taught hack drummer for sure--have played in many cover bands and at my Church here in Point Loma--and felt just nowhere-- looked up drum lessons youtube--you're awesome--keep teaching!
I agree with so many drummers commenting on Rob! Great drummer, educator and entertainer! Thanks again Rob, love being a part of your channel!
Wow. I’ve watched a lot of people trying to teach drums on TH-cam, but none of their methods are as effective and easy to follow as this guy’s. Thanks Rob.
Seriously. I play in a hardcore/metal band. Aside from the "Atomic Clock", I get more info and inspiration from Rob than any other source.
Ray Zins he’s sharp. It really makes me realize that all I ever had going for me was smooth delivery and very steady rhythm. Was born with it. I don’t know anything about technique or terminology. I have talent that I have never been able to harness. I still love to play.
Best teacher that I never even met! your drumming took me into the 6/8 & triplet realm a year ago without feeling like an idiot. what a gem this your content is.
Just getting over my 3rd shoulder surgery in 4 years. Been drumming 40 years and I feel like I'm starting over(almost). This is a great lesson for competetive grooving. Doing these fill for just an hour and i feel way smoother and in control. Thanks for all your vids bro. You are appriciated.
Was your surgery related to your 40 years of drumming?
you are one of the best teachers on the site
I don’t know who these 5 Phil guys are, but they have some awesome groves😎 Thanks Phils!
I don't know if you will see this comment, but I just saw this video for the first time, as I only recently found your channel. I am learning so much from you.

Thanks Rob, perfect for us beginnermediate drummers that are overwhelmed easily with the more complicated lessons!
I'm a grandfather who loved drums as a child but wasn't in the budget then, but now my grandson at age 2 has an incredible passion for drums and drum sticks. I think this video is great for teaching bi-generational students, thanks!
As a fairly new drummer looking for good instructional videos, I can now say I found my "go to" guy!!! I learned more than just a few drum fills today and I'm feeling rather excited about it - SUBSCRIBED! Thanks, Rob.
Hey this is huge. As a new drummer, I've been trying to learn many different charted fills and have struggled to memorize them. I'm amazed how different these each sound by just changing the sticking on a common fill. Then spreading the fills across the kit opens up a whole new repertoire again. This is transformational yet easy to learn. Thanks!
Outstanding stuff, Rob. You are making better drumming more accessible for the large group of “just OK” drummers! All this stuff is clear & doable.
The importance of the foundation of sticking vs the color & texture of the voicing is so fundamental - thanks for pointing out the order of priority!
Likewise, your tutorial of kick drum pedal technique (+, 0, -), was clear and easy to grasp& practice. Many thanks!
Too good Boos. I am 58 years old but have unfulfilled passion for drumming. will certainly follow the advice to learn the fills.Thank you very much.
Great lesson. You can never have to many fills in your arsenal to break out as needed. And your right you can always learn something. Thx man.!!!
You are amazing man. I just bought a $25 drum kit and within 15 mins I can play basic. You are the man . Soooooooo much in love with you and your personality . Keep up the good job mate
This is probably some of the best advise I've received -- ever.
Thanks for the listen man....I'm here literally practicing on some pillows I put together 👍👌
You are a great teacher.
I never had a drumming teacher. I learned to play without the proper techniques. What I just watched gave great insight in what I am missing. Very encouraging and informative.
Thank you Rob, these are just what the doctor ordered. I love how you emphasize the concept over learning which drums to hit. God bless you man.
Wow, what a fantastic lesson. If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime! I got so much more out of this video than countless other "beginner fill" videos because you're teaching me how to come up with new fills on the fly from the ground up, and you showed me how to practice them effectively on a loop.

been drumming 60 years, this kid makes it new again
After seeing this video, I now see this fill all over the place! Thank you
Self taught drummer here. I’ve always been good on a groove, but my sticking is horrible when it comes to fills. This video was super helpful. Not only for fills, but for motifs for solos as well.
Thanks Rob. You’re the man!
I’m in the same boat. Just found this channel today and its already helping my drumming.
I just started drumming and went on TH-cam to learn some basics. A lot of the people on youtube are kind of pretentious and seem to talk down to you. I love your videos. I keep coming back and you seem to sincerely enjoy helping us beginners!
I was a beginner once too, man 👊🏽🤓
Love em all! Simple yet versatile and creative. Will be trying all of them, especially number 4 as I normally tend to avoid any stickings that leave me with left hand on Beat 1 but it is interesting enough to help me work on this! Thanks Rob!!

Dude, awesome video again, I hate rudiments normally, not only did you put the accents clearly on the dark/light areas, you straight away put them into their usefulness within a grove... can’t wait for my practice day! 😂 (I’m a twin dad/NHS healthcare prof in UK, so drumming time is in super short supply).

Ben WH what is a twin dad
Aryan Dugar a man whom has twins for children... not that me and doppelgänger care for one child 😂🤙🏻🤙🏻

Hope he wasn’t offended 😏
Thank you.
That helps a lot
Watching this at 12: 35 am, and I'm not even a drummer.
christalmann you really SHOULD be, after watching this! 👊🏻
A very honest and practical approach to lessons. Makes me want to shed right now.
Hell yesss, máximo respeito! 🔥🥁🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I drum mostly for my own recordings and until recently, I’d never really taken it very seriously. (I didn’t even understand why drummers learned rudiments.) Your approach is so organized and you evidently know how to “speak” to the so-so drummer. So glad I found your channel.
Judging by the meters on the mixer, are you only running overhead mics & a snare mic? Quality is pretty on point man
Hey Mr. Ropb Brown. So Beautifully explained to pick up each of the Fills. Will practice all and pick up . Thank you for the lesson. Would love to stay in touch as I progress with my drumming skills. Hope its not too late in life. I am 58.
Ok. I subscribed and I’m not even a drummer., but the way you teach, makes me think I could. Does that make sense?
Anyway, love your channel, keep up the good work. You are doing a wonderful and important service for anyone that wants to learn. Cheers
Just give it a try. If it interests you, you are already half way there. Drumming is great fun and good exercise too.
Hey man, I really like not only your style, but also your easy to understand instructions! I am 64 years old and have always wished I could play drums. I have two young boys ages 3 and 6. And I would really love them (or at least one of them) to follow and learn from you. Your instructions are not only slow and basic, but also explained very easy to understand! Thanks man!
This will make my drum students "feel good" about themselves 🙆
It makes me feel good about MYself!
Just discovered this guy today. I’ve watched only two of his videos and he has answered so many questions I’ve had that no other instruction videos could!
This is my main man going forward!
Love his personality too!
3:20 what you came for
I found this lesson last night. The first thing I did when I got home from work was get in the garage, fire up the kit, stick on my headphones and get this lesson up on my phone. I now have 5 fills written in chalk on the wall in front of me, I am going to stick the metronome on 60 bpm and work my way through these until I can nail them.
This is one of the best drum lessons I have seen. Thanks for sharing.
Bro I’m a just ok drummer. Normal people tell me I’m good and I’m like if you were a drummer you’d know I’m not shit lmaoooo.
RIGHT?! It's like, thanks but....
True, but when need a carpenter to get a job done you don't care that there are master sculptors and designers put there. A carpenter will do the trick.
Add to my vocabulary?
This is gonna be my vacabulary.
Been able to keep a basic rock beat for years,
made me a better guitar and bass player,
but never really got in to the mechanics.
Now I’m retired I’m a gonna put some time in
on a wee ekit, gotta start somewhere.

all will help me Thank YOU for your time
My dude, your vids are amazing. I'm a guitar player fed up with corona boredom and just got a Roland td1-dmk and these videos are the bomb. Keep it up!
You're a great teacher, Rob. Thank you.
Drumming off and on from 14 to 76years. Enjoy and learn from you. Thanks.
Just begging and I love your lessons. Easy for me to follow and understand. Appreciate you.
Thank you I really need to work on my sticking ty beatdown brown
Rob, you're silky smooth and relaxed, both in your teaching style and playing. Sweet lesson. Love your work...
I've been playing my whole life but am self-taught and missed out on a lot of the fundamentals. This is SO helpful and I'm already seeing changes in my playing. Thanks so much!
You are a very good teacher ...thank you for helping a slow drummer like me...Stay Blessed
20:31 Love your lessons! I'm a beginner at 62, can't wait to try them all!
What a full-sounding bass note. Mine by contrast sounds like it's full of sweaters. Love that sound!
These are great building blocks, and if my wife wasn’t in bed already, I’d be trying these out on the kit right now. There’s always tomorrow! All of the patterns are great, but I really dig the third one. Cheers!
I am rediscovering all your pre-covid videos, showing us some nice variations to add to our bag of licks. Thanks again Beatdown!
I've been playing drums for 40 years and I'm still learning. you are a wonderful teacher.
Thank you for your hard work and these wonderful videos. I do appreciate it I'm sure everybody here watching those too.
DUDE! BEAT....DOOOOOOWN! This is gonna help me SO MUCH! Just the first one alone!
I love that you provide more than an adequate amount of time on each fill to give the viewer enough time to catch on. Thanks dude I really learn a lot from your vids.
First one for sure!
Def helps beatboxing
You're actually a very good teacher don't stop doing what you're doing some people are honestly meant to teach
Thanks for making my self isolation way more bearable. This rocks.
Rob, this is exactly what i was looking for; principles in drum fills. Will help me with my drum fills without me just copying/pasting someone elses fills. Hopefully i will ind these useful for 3/4, 12/8 time too.
Please definitely more videos for OK players. I learned to play in church and I learned by ear. First time I’m actually watching a lesson. And this lessons are just so easy to follow. And yes I’ll be getting my t-shirt. Thanks and please keep it going man.
I will practice this tomorrow. sounds great.
Thanks!
Im a guitarist, really enjoying playing along with these with biros on my lap!!!
Ik ben 68 jaar en heb vroeger nooit de mogelijkheid gehad om mijn drumspel kwalitatief te verbeteren. Dank zij Rob en zijn lessen heb ik weer plezier aan het drummen gekregen. Geweldige drummer en leraar. TOP
Simply the best instructor
At seventy, I just started playing drums. I bought a kit and can't begin to tell you how I enjoy your lessons. You are a teacher Mr. Brown. Thanks so much. Peace, Just Sam
