I have watched countless videos on double stroke rolls and the blushda, and it wasn't until I looked at your videos that I came away knowing what was being explained. Thank you for your videos and insight..
Yup!! I am a professional session drummer, that first learnd the Blushda from Steve's original Blushda video all those years ago!! Big respect Steve Holmes!! "All Hail the original" !! PLEASE CAN WE GET STEVE HOLMES ON DRUMEO???
I've watched the original countless times and what a great follow-up to make sure people are using the blushda responsibly and respecting it.
Love the cymbals sound. Great video. Thank you for posting.
Thanks, Steve. Awesome video as always!
Once again you have blow my mind with an awesome concept, thank you 🙏
The bass drum under the ride in combination with the loose flam really fills out the sounds and helps to make it much more cohesive, (in my opinion) with whatever song it's being implemented into. Great video and I appreciate the time you put into these. Great musical references as well, nothing but respect!
Glad I found you. Enjoying all your stuff. 👍🏻👊🏻
Man, I really love your playing!
i remember that original video! good to see you revisiting it, nice to get a refresher on my end
Thanks Steve, this is so instructional and inspiring at the same time. Flam fills just has such a nice feel to them!
Really diggin’ the presentation of the concept, the breakin’ it down into its simplest form, and then the expansion of the original to the point where you wear it out. So many possibilities covered to fit any level or intensity. Thank you.
You're one of the best teachers out there man. I love your playing/ideas/feel too. Monster!
Very good sound of the drum set! Effortless playing style. I like it!!!
Steve Smith was my introduction to that lick in the 90’s too, took forever to figure it out lol. Your explanation wayyyyy back cleared it up, thank you!
This is a lick that I've played so much but haven't really thought about it as much as you. So thank you for such a thoughtful explanation.
This is so very very very nice. i had been messing with this stuff lately actually ....such a timely gift.
Incredible lesson Mr Holmes! Thank you for this!
Great vid Steve, just love your flowing feel.
Incredible educator! and the drumming ... wow!
For all your videos, you are a masterful presenter, teacher and drummer. Thanks so much for going public!
I love that original video! You're still a weapon of a drummer to this day! Thanks for teaching me that lick all those years ago.
I luv your playing.Great videos thank you!
steve your videos helped me immensely i love learning this stuff and trying to milk it much as i can you are a outstanding teacher and a great player thank you for the inspiration
Really mind blown by the creativity. I would have never thought of incorporating it this way. Plus to come up with different variations of the same rudiment based on how you want it to sound. Thank you.
Man, I just found your channel and binged a bunch of your lessons! Great stuff, awesome playing and teaching.
Your well-oiled and advanced stick technique and your genuine love for the drums continues to inspire. Love the sound of those Yamaha's, too.
Best ever explanation/demos of blushda I've ever seen. Amazing! Thank you, Steve!
Another great lesson. Thank you Steve
always a pleasure to see your lessons and the way you explain them , make it so easy to try , thanks so much my regards from Can Cun Mexico
I am really appreciating your videos, especially this one and the one with Helpful Jazz Exercises. Very accessible and useful!
These drums sound incredible
You are flawless. period.
Tight!!! en played very flexible.Thanks for sharing Steve...
Thank you Steve Holmes! Amazing find
I'm so glad to discover you Steve. You make it real about the journey into these adavance licks so it's not terrifying & that's so important. Thank you!
great video, amazing drum playing.
Very cool Steve....definitiley fixed it! Thank's!
Excellent!!
Great lesson. Thank you.
Love your teachings 🙏🏼
Man I was scouring TH-cam for someone who ACTUALLY gave musical examples from recordings....this is why you are a great musician. You know your history and then can spring off of the original and make your own creative ideas.
Thank you for the video, Steve! Garbatini has helped me out so much in my life. He steered me towards great stuff and I will always be grateful for his guidance.
that's the one I remember. YOU taught me the riff...Thank you!
Thanks Steve, very educational and musical. I have here studies from some weeks!!!
I’ve heard this played before and the sound this rudiment made was fantastic. Never knew a ‘blushda’ was similar to a Swiss army triplet. Thanks for the help!
GREAT LESSON;GREAT DRUMMER THNX STEVE!!
Fantastic Stuff, THANK YOU!
Steve, You're a good teacher!
Absolutely sleezy with lazy flam! Thank you!
Awesome technique and great tuning!
Thank you , great lesson once again
thanks for this video man! it's awesome!
Amazing work thank you 🙏
Pretty awesome!! Thank you!
Just wanna say you're freaking awesome. Thanks so much. Really love how you came up with so many variations from this.
Thank you so much!
I know this is an old video, but you're crushing it as a teacher (and drummer). Thank you
That is some smooth playing.
This is a great lesson Steve. Thanks. I have been working hard on this myself. I have been doing it with the sticking of a right hand flam then LLR. I will practice the alternate sticking now. Left hand flam RRL. Excellent
great! thank you for all your great videos! - i remember seeing a steve smith version of the tony blushda written out as a 4:3 phrase- gotta find it
Excellent video thanks!
Gavin Harrison uses a bunch of blushdas during solo and during songs too. It sounds so great! You master those blushdas incredibly well!
Amazing channel.
You sir have got yourself a new follower
Thank you for this video Steve! It’s helped immensely, not only with adding the blushda to my bag, but also with accents! I don’t think I realized how much work my accents needed ‘til I started working in this figure. Love how these ideas are all speaking to each other. Great lesson!
Love it man!!!
Like the way you break stuff down- simplify things that somebody like me who has played for a yr after taking a 25yr break can practice and put this in a musical context. Thanks
I learned this by slowing down the Steve Smith video. It took an hour, then your first video came out. Good timing
Awesome Steve ,i remember the very first lesson on this .!
Awesome !!!!
im so glad you re-made this video....the blushda is so clean...thanks steve
Yeah, or a transcription ;)- thanks for putting this stuff out there. Any recordings of you with a group? I’d buy that in a heartbeat!
Love your passion for explaining and teaching
Thank you. It's fun talking drums.
Great stuff.
you taught me blushda , thx Steve
So good! Thanks, Steve!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks Steve, awesome lesson. It would be great to see notation of these examples.
Wow! I almost can't believe that the blushda needed a boost to make it sound cooler...🤯 (Dude is crazy talented 👏)
You know, their are drummers who are great at teaching and drummers who are great at playing, this dude does both👍🙏🤙thank you for your vids. Yo my drum Sensei🙏
Great lesson
I love the way Weckl does it on snare and cowbell
Great playing brother!
I can listen for hours to this guy
amazing lesson!!
Best teacher on the interwebs. Period. I’ve learned so much from your “Shed Some Light” DVD and all your old school vids from HOD. Thanks for taking the time to put this stuff out.
Thanks Rob - hope all is well with you.
Nice job Steve!
By far the best Blushda lesson on the internet! You talk about the 2 things that make it sound good at 5:00, which took me a long time to figure out on my own. Great lesson! Thanks Steve!
Yeah man!
Wow. I was looking for that very video! 😂 Great to see it, and you, again. I have no idea where I watched the original video...
Awesome thanks 👍
Well, I still haven't gotten this lick down but this video always really helps to break it down into manageable elements. Great stuff; I just need to actually practice the thing a little more.
This guy deserves more subscriber
Great video and playing Steve! You're an amazing drummer. Peace!
Thanks a lot!
Great instructional video. Blown away by all the information. Thank you Steve
Thanks Jim!
very nice bro.. you look real good with that left hand... great bro
"Your mileage may vary..." That's hilarious... Great playing, great demonstration and teaching!
Very informative thx for sharing
Blushda..gonna try that.
That's cool. Thanks
I remember Steve's original blushda video. It was right there with Traditional Grip and Matched Grip.
GREAT! GREAT! GREAT!
Steve, I watched your video on the Blush-da almost a decade ago. I enjoyed the video and got the concept, but had a hard time getting my hands to cooperate. Every so often for years, I would revisit your video and hit the same wall afterward as I tried it on the kit. While I could do the basic lick, it wasn't sounding good. Today I revisited your video again and saw this one. After years of struggling with this lick, I finally got it today. Your updated video explained the lick even better than your first video and that coupled with improved skill on my end and now I can play this lick. Thank you for both videos on this lick and I look forward to viewing some of your other videos.
Glad this new video got you over the hump. I hope you have fun with it.!
