This is probably my favorite video I've ever made... I hope the graphics made you pay attention and learn something because they took FFFKING forever to edit! 😂
Holly... I can see why it’s your favorite video. Hands down, this must be the best drum notation video ever made! I wish I saw it when I just started learning reading notes, absolutely epic introduction. The graphics and the way you talked about it is absolutely sick! I agree with points you made there 100%. I started learning drums half a year ago and reading was one of the first things Í’ve decided that I want to learn. It’s actually suprisingly easy to get into and the payoff in learning has been immense! I’m still an absolute beginner, but being able to read and also write my own charts is super handy for learning both drum patterns (grooves/fills) and whole songs. Also, gonna make everyone in band watch this, because people get confused everytime I mention “bars”. :D Very underrated channel, keep pumping this gold quality content, man!
Yeah man.... So many time to explain and do it a fun way. I had checked to Stephen Clarks(A.K.A "The Non Glamorous Drummer") video on Drum Notations . Folk who might have trouble understanding this video slow check out his video too. ...But coming to Brendan's video ,woh this information and animation were freaking nuts. I loved the video man. Crisp and sound answers no beating around the bush! . He must have had insane amounts of retakes (or atleast I would ,if I was recording 😅😅). Great job Brendan😎😎.
@@ninoveremmanuele.mabida8108 The top number is "how many" notes The bottom number is "what kind" of notes. Its just there to tell you how long each bar/measure is.
This guy is EXTREMELY underrated. Top notch editing. Determination. Top notch playing ability. Top notch teaching skills. *GET THIS GUY TO 1 MIL SUBS ASAP*
A BLESSING , he is ! ( Thanx Brandon 😀...I have 42+ years of educating ' the inspired ' drummers of my city , HOUSTON,TX . You my sir, are FLAWLESS in your presentation here !
As a teacher, this is probably THE best condensed vid for fundamentals on drum notation right now! This should be in every drum studio lol. Annndddd this is your best edited vid-by far!! I think you've found the formula aesthetic-wise for your brand. Kudos!
just dropping by to kiss your feet. what you've just made is a timeless monumental video for the teaching world that people will reference for decades to come. Everything was put together so cohesively and you really made things so easy to understand that I'm sure even someone with minimal / no musical experience would be able to pick up on. kudos to you dude.
I’m in my junior year in college and like to thing I can read pretty well. I’m comfortable with my musical abilities for where I am and what I’m doing. Idk why I’m watching this. This is simply entertaining
Man.... We're from Brasil, and enjoy so much your classes and vídeos, you help us how to understand the drums with a very strong and diferent view. Thanks a Lot Mannnn..... Happiness and good healthy
Wow, nice result. This piece probably took forever to edit, but it definitely helps keeping the attention of the viewer, as well as making learning fun. It is proven that knowledge obtained through playful means trains the brain in the long run to associate learning with positive emotions, and makes the brain want to learn new things there where there is fun. Which means you have just got yourself another returning customer. Time you put in this video is time well spent. I am 49y old, and recently I started playing drums in a band, for the first time in my life. Never played drums in a band before, mostly did the singing or bass. Now, I have to learn all there is to be learned about drums from scratch. After a couple of rehearsals, I realized that my brain at my age is not too eager about remembering grooves and parts of songs to the letter even after hours and hours of listening to the same song. So, I realized I have to learn how to make myself some drumming cheat sheets. I'm so glad I bumped into your channel. I've also seen the other video you made about transcribing songs quickly when there is not a lot of time given to absorb a set list of 20 or 30 songs overnight. Loved the video. But the sample song you picked was very simple. Do you have a video that builds on that one and also shows a way to write down songs that are a bit more complex?
I already knew all of this but you made this totally worth watching even for me! Great fucking job. This is the best and one of the most creative videos I’ve seen in a long time.
Man oh man. Every now and then somebody comes along with a way of explaining something that makes it make sense. You just did that for me in this video. You, Sir, are brilliant. Thank you!
Dude. This is really great. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an overview of music notation that covers this much info in such a short time. And obviously the creativity is out of this world. Really great work.
I recently decided after years of playing to start learning music notation. I avoided it over the years because I didn’t understand it and wanted to channel all my energy into having fun on the kit. I wish I had done this earlier, but better late than never. It’s opened up a new world to me. You’re analogy with reading and writing being the foundation to learning about endless topics is spot-on. I feel like I’m starting to understand far more about subdivisions and syncopation and other aspects that I kind of had a feeling for before, but just didn’t truly understand and couldn’t communicate. It’s also helping me understand what other drummers are doing when I listen to recordings. This a great video, and lots of fun. I really appreciate your creativity and editing skills on top of the educational content. You have a new subscriber.
One of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam about the approach to creativity in general. Had I understood the value of music theory earlier in my career I would have avoided much time wasting and frustration. My philosophy - absorb as much knowledge aa you can, then apply it as often as you can.
This is such a fantastic video. As a self taught drummer playing nearly 14 years. This is the best explanation of notation and what I feel like is already in my head and when I play. So happy I found this page!
Even as a person who doesnt play drums or anything rock/ garage band etc, this helps had no idea that the bass and kick/bass drum were in sync, thanks!
Dude! Dude! Duuuuude. This video is the dogs bollocks. Super nice explained, interactive and fun to watch. And your editing skills?!? Amazing job. You nailed it man. I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks Brandon for keeping drummers around the world inspired and for taking the time to do great content like this. Cheers, Sebastian.
You made me very proud of myself. I thought I knew almost nothing about drum notation but I already knew everything you covered except for dotted notes. I have a real hard time with those.
I'm not new to drumming, but I've always learned by ear, trying to learn notation. Watched a few other videos that were okay, but this one is by far the one that helped the most so far. Loved it! Gonna save it and come back! Subscribed and looking for more!
Well I already know how to read Drum notation but I'm sure that ANYONE who doesn't is able to learn it from this video! Great work and very nice visuals👌
What should I say, this has been a very enlightening lesson. Got confused most of the time when I saw the notes. Now leaving from this video well drum-fed, 😄😄😄😄😄 Thanks Brandon🙏
Man that bass drum is so freakin mean. I've shared this everywhere I can on social media. Been following you about a year now and you're fantastic. Cheers mate!
As a pure beginner I can tell you it's helping a lot! I just bought an electronic drumset because I always wanted to be a drummer and I am completely lost, but this video helped me to understand a little bit more what I want to do. And god it's hard to learn without a teacher 😭😂
I started played drums when I was 11, then quit altogether for 30 years or more, when I started playing again I used the drumming for dummies book , it actually worked.
As someone who has read music notation since I was 9, I can honestly say this video is absolutely brilliant, and should be shown in schools. I have never had to read drum notation and I am trying to learn drum notation... as in, how do you notate a roll, what the heck is a flam and how is it used... that sort of thing... but I subbed when he put up the repeat symbol as he repeated himself... good stuff.
Your editing definitely makes your videos unique, entertaining and very cool man. What is probably a typical and overdone topic, you've managed to make fresh and enjoyable. Nice job!
this video is pure GOLD. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in a such simple yet beautiful way. Oh, and kudos for the amazing editing. Much respect from Brazil.
I cannot get enough of this channel. I am a drummer who is a professional chef who became obsessed with cinematography in the last couple of years so this channel inspires me to explore my creativity in my own areas of knowledge. Thank you Brandon! You are an amazing human being! :)
Bro love this! I work in drum tuition and I’m always trying to find better ways to adapt my methods of explaining drum notation, you gave me some ideas!
Dude this video is incredible. I'm showing this to every drum student I have. You perfectly captured and explained so much music theory in an informative and hilariously awesome way into one 10 minute video. Well done man!
Thanks so much for your understandable explanation of this drum notations for beginners. Please do more on this. I appreciate your hard work. More power to you. Have a nice day.
This is probably my favorite video I've ever made...

Ur my hero keep d good work
Very well done dood besides being an excellent drummer you is an exceptional communicator.
Yeah, editing and graphics are phenomenal! Also: What is that song at the end????
Your editing is top notch
It really is. On top of the fact that I learned a whole lot about drums in this video. 10/10. Makes me wanna start my own vids and edits with piano.
Yeah it’s so good. I do some editing myself and he does it so smoothly, and creatively. Inspiring me for that and drumming haha
Yeah man.... So many time to explain and do it a fun way.
I had checked to Stephen Clarks(A.K.A "The Non Glamorous Drummer") video on Drum Notations . Folk who might have trouble understanding this video slow check out his video too.

Yeah! been always impressed by that guy.
Yeaa bro it is....
This video should have more views.
Definitely. Brandon manages to break down the theory so easily! This could be helpful to so many people.
As a self-taught drummer who has zero clues on what this sht is, I NEEDED THIS.
update: got lost in time signature part -_-
@@ninoveremmanuele.mabida8108 Rewatch it. ;)
@@ninoveremmanuele.mabida8108
The top number is "how many" notes
The bottom number is "what kind" of notes.
Its just there to tell you how long each bar/measure is.
Also, self taught. This video is like watching Bill Nye teaching science. Thank you.
SAME, MATE.
"I think that deserves a sub"
Jokes on you, I subbed a long time ago mate
And I don’t even play drums
I never comment on TH-cam videos. But the amount of time spent on this editing deserves one. Well done man.
Thank you so much
The countdown to a Drumeo lesson with this guy has begun...
This guy is EXTREMELY underrated. Top notch editing. Determination. Top notch playing ability. Top notch teaching skills. *GET THIS GUY TO 1 MIL SUBS ASAP*
can we all take a minute to thank Brandon for his editing skills please

SHOCKER: Student Brandon actually edits all of these videos.
Brandon, your videos aren’t only informational but equally as entertaining to watch! Some of the beat work I’ve ever seen! Keep them coming!!!
Man.... We're from Brasil, and enjoy so much your classes and vídeos, you help us how to understand the drums with a very strong and diferent view. Thanks a Lot Mannnn..... Happiness and good healthy
The "blow-up" deserves a like, since I'm already subbed

Bruh, I was literally searching for that book 😂😂🤓
It's legit Photoshopped in there. 😂
the thumbnail has so many small details that make it amazing and the editing in the video is actually amazing. great work!!!
Thumbnail took 5 hours, i have no life.

Been playing for years never learned how to read music this helped so much

GENIUS! One of the clearest and most entertaining explanations on this subject that I've ever seen 👏🏻👍🏻
This is the first time I actually wanted to learn more and more. Superb editing and the easiest way I feel to understand notations.
Brandon, this is highly needed. Please continue with the series and simplified breakdown. Very much appreciated. Also, your editing is 🔥🔥
Firstly, that edit was immaculate and secondly I'd like to appreciate that Kae Chaps song you have in the background. Made my week honestly
bro, when I say you blew this video out of the water....I mean it. Editing was on point, creativity is popping. This is fantastic.
Don't skip Ads! I learned a lot from you with the help of graphics. Thanks, from the Philippines!
Woaaah your editing is.... MAGIC
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP WITH DRUMS
Wow! So great and easy and entertaining to watch and learn! Thank you!
Editing is next level and the content was legit, too. Love your stuff, man!!!
Best video on the internet explaining drum notation. Mad respect. Super well done.
that introduction definitely deserves a sub!! and i’m subscribed now 😁
Thanks so much for spend so much time doing this videos! Greetings from México...
Even as a person who doesnt play drums or anything rock/ garage band etc, this helps
had no idea that the bass and kick/bass drum were in sync, thanks!
More vids please. Thanks Brandon!
Possibly the greatest video I have watched on TH-cam. You taught me a lot better than any music teacher I’ve had
Wow! The way you explain this makes it easier to understand, thank you!!
as a self-taught drummer who's never taken theory lessons, this was INCREDIBLY helpful to me. always making the best content nowadays, Brandon!! 🤘
Thanks brandon!!! We're highly educate of this lesson.😊 Best lesson and edits😁😅.
yo i found you filling a snare with water surprised the snare wasnt working. now ive come to watch you teach and im glad i did. youre a good teacher
Yes Brandon, there are notes, and it’s easy. And it’s kind of hard. Thank you so much for the introduction.
Dude! Dude! Duuuuude. This video is the dogs bollocks. Super nice explained, interactive and fun to watch. And your editing skills?!? Amazing job. You nailed it man. I really enjoyed watching this.

Thats an awesome way to articulate it. Awesome bro!
very impressed by the shadows at 2:50
I know right?
You videos keep getting better an I keep learn new stuff thanks man literally wouldn’t know how to play drums without these vids

Fucking amazing, this would've really helped me years ago when I started learning how to read drum notations by myself with a book. Amazing video
Dude, been drumming for 12 years and your video hands down, kept me engaged & entertained the entire time! Got yourself a new Sub🤙🏼
Well I already know how to read Drum notation but I'm sure that ANYONE who doesn't is able to learn it from this video! Great work and very nice visuals👌
Dude. Best video yet~ don’t feel so dumd anymore!
As a music instructor this is gold! The graph paper is a perfect way to try to help people pull everything together if they just can't quite get it.
i wish there was a guitar teacher like this with this quality
The next time someone asks how to start reading charts, I’m sending them here first.
This is too good!!
What should I say, this has been a very enlightening lesson. Got confused most of the time when I saw the notes. Now leaving from this video well drum-fed, 😄😄😄😄😄 Thanks Brandon🙏

Thanks man
Yes, that deserves a ton of subs. 🙏
This vid set a high bar for drum videos. Great way to expose information, man!
This guy is the best video editor out there. Period

Great video, idk if I learned something but I certainly had a great time watching it
as a professional drum teacher not only can i say thank you for this video but beautifully done man.
I can’t explain how much I love this video.
Awesome stuff Brandon! You never fail to impress!
Drum notation is so simple. Simple simple simple
Very clearly explained. I am a beginner and came across your channel to learn. Thank you. By the way you are a master of video editing.
I learned to read by memorizing what notes sounded like. I can look and hear it without counting.
*Drum Notation for Drummies
NOOOOOO HOW DID I MISS THAT!!!!!!
For someone who already has a pretty good understanding of notation this was really cool to watch to help visualize even more
its the best video in this category bro... nice work
The edition is awesome, but this guy's communication skills are unique.
woah after playing piano and bass, now i can read various types of sheet music xd
Bro love this! I work in drum tuition and I’m always trying to find better ways to adapt my methods of explaining drum notation, you gave me some ideas!
Brandon, this is one of your best videos to date mate. Always producing such valuable content. Appreciate it brother.
This is awesome..thanks for sharing..i used to read music for trumpet when i was young so i kind of relate to some of this..thanks!

You've really stepped up with the editing lately. Always great content and now even more enjoyable to watch.
Please make part 2, 3, 4 on this. You make it so easy to learn
This is the best drum video i ever watched in my whole life
