Eric, great channel and excellent vids full of ideas and concepts. I thought I would share some of the things I like to do when learning a new exercise or lick. 1. Play something on the hi-hat with the left foot - at a minimum the downbeats or upbeats. Don't let the left foot be a paperweight and just sit there. This is like the 3 fingered guitarist - the one who never uses the pinky - only using 75% of capacity. 2. Play at different dynamic levels and use different sound sources. 3. Swing it for the next level of difficulty. Those metronome markings will come right down and bring you back to reality. 4. Slice and dice the lick to create new licks. Start on a different note or move sections around. Plenty of cool little licks hidden in your exercise on this vid. These may seem obvious to some of us but are usually overlooked by many drummers. Looking forward to more vids!
I have begun ,learning drums and I do find difficulty in co ordination with my playing the Snare / Choke and Kick Drum. This exercise would surely help me improve my co ordination leading to better drumming. Thank you Eric.
Great exercise. Well constructed and very useful. Taught in a manner that even beginners can understand it. I’m using it every day. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Great exercise Eric. Been using it for awhile now. I did a little twist on this for an added exercise. Instead of switching hands after the double kick, and single stroke, go back to the kick and up the ladder with the same hand. Do a double with your hand and back down the ladder. This allows you to lead with the kick every second go round. Great lessons.
Eric have a very Happy holiday!!! I love your style of teaching and I've been teaching over 40 year's! I know great teachers with knowledge which is power!
I like lessons like these, the pyramid method works for lots of exercises/techniques - you find the patterns are "boring and practice like" at 1st and then they morph into rudiments like here you have single double and triple paradiddle going on etc
Haha! You really are saucy bro! Thanks for posting this man! I was hungry today. I’ve been wanting to get better at fills because I’m in love with the drums (it was my first instrument) even though I’m a piano player at church . Back when I played drums I never got to this level. Now I’m gonna start to be able to improve, thanks man! God bless!
Can you cover the linear groove that Pete Thomas plays in the opening of Elvis Costello's Lipstick Vogue? He's a crazy great drummer and I've been scratching my head about this one for years.
My iron cobra stock setting is pretty far back on the beater setting. I kinda wanted to try to keep the pedal at its stock settings but I’m not sure if the beater maybe is set back too much. What are your thoughts on beater distance? Thanks
I'm pretty sure you know how to play drums, but it took you 6 minutes before you demonstrated any of your exercises on the actual drums. I watched it to the end only because I wanted to hear the real examples, but my humble suggestion is to divide itnto smaller chunks, show us first what we are going to learn, and then break it down with the theory.
I would rather have Eric explain things in detail than as some instructors don’t explain things enough. There are many levels of experience watching, and he has to speak to the beginners as well. I don’t find Eric to be over talkative, as some are, but in the end it is the content that is important, and there is always great content in Erics lessons.

YA COMETE LA MALDITA NARANJA!
to much talking good god

You are an idiot!!!
Too much talking
If you would talk you would give more practice and less theory would be great, you play well but your classes are more. Theorists you practice!
Great stuff, but no need to talk so much, I’m not yer girlfriend..lets hear the beats not the bleets😂
