Rob words cannot express the life that you are breathing into my drumming. I have been in such a rut for so long that I did not think I would ever pick up the sticks again...then one day I saw one of your drumming video and I was like who is THIS? I watched the video and about 7 more after that! You were quiet, calm, talented and patient. You taught us the exercises and beats and did so slow enough that we could play along with you. If you knew an exercise might be particularly difficult, you told us that it would take time to learn ; to not expect instant results. I'm using my old Regal Tip 5As - I can't get new ones anymore. I went out and bought a 10" pad that I freaking love again thanks to you. I copied the picture of the "fist" that you use as a logo and put it on the front of a 3-ring notebook that I put the exercises and beats into it. I am a 68 year old female drummer and I am back into drumming thanks to you. Sorry I got so sappy, but I watch you every day and work at the lessons and I only wrote one short comment. I owed you a long one!
Hahaha I am beginner at 34 :) I have teacher, but Rob helps a lot too. I see here a lot never too late guys like me and that is great! Regards from Serbia :)
Thanks so much, Rob. I am a new drummer and love all your videos. It is so easy to follow your lessons. My hubby got me my drum kit for my 68th birthday in September. I have always wanted to play the drums. Learned how to play 10 beginner drum beats back in Sept. from your video and continue to follow various lessons. Keep it up! Much appreciated!!
At 61 I realized I had spent my time imitating songs and not really learning to play properly. Because of your videos I have spent more hours on a practice pad since September, than I had in the previous eons I spent 'playing' drums. I see enough improvement / change to keep going, and I actually look forward to doing it. For me it's the chill feel of your presentation, makes me want to listen and practice.
Thank you so much! I just found you and have already watched about five of your videos. You are a fabulous drummer and a wonderful teacher. I am a 56-year-old woman who picked up my first drumsticks about three months ago. 😬 I am absolutely terrible, but having a blast, thank you for taking the time to do this.😊
Hey man! I am not begginer I think but I am below being a Mid Good Drummer hehe! But hey I am 33 yeards old trying to come back to drums and this channel and your exercises, vibes, etc make me feel really good about trying to develop and learn more drumming. Thanks !! Good material!
I just ordered my Red Barny Beats pad combo yesterday. I've been drumming 30 years, but this is my first practice pad, believe it or not. Looking forward to using it to my advantage.
I followed your advice and set up a practice pad right where I watch tv. As a result, I find myself working on very helpful pad exercises a lot, and it has helped my playing a great deal. Thanks!
Hey Rob, so stoked I found your channel in 2020. Still working on "the only 3 rudiments you need" but loving every new exercise. Smoke coming off my (oldskool GREY) Evans pad. 😉
I am not an educated drummer and |I didn't even know what triplet was until i watched this. Amazingly, I've been playing triplets for years without knowing. Now I'm gonna get into this exercise and expand my knowledge and control. I'm 73, with a bit of arthritis in the hands and a couple of strokes behind me. (They should make drumming a therapy for stroke recovery). Another great educational video from Rob Brown. and free too. Amazing! Thanks a bunch Rob.
I was just gona comment how my weak hand wasn't gona cope, and TH-cam has already recommended your video on working on that issue. Imma see my self out and head there first 👌
I really like your videos. Your teaching style is motivating and inspiring. I’m tired of those videos of those guys that are “over the top”. Yours are chill and informative. Appreciate what you do and taking the time to make these videos and posting them.
I been working on this a few days now at 50 BPM while really watching my technique and snapping the accent loud while keeping the taps as quiet as i can. This has already improved my control immensely! Every should really pay attention to this video, thank you so much!!
This simple exercise can be turned into an entire world of crazy exercises! You can move around the accents. You can add flams. You can play as singles. Great exercise! (you just brought up flamming in the video as I am typing this actually. lol)
Great exercise.Been playing & wood shedding for over 60 years & found this quite helpful in improving my stick control. Thank you Ron & keep 'em coming.
Hey Rob! I used to pick your brain a lot at L&M 'shwa years ago. I still have the TRICK snare drum you would never buy from me. 110% glad it never left my hands now - thanks for that!
As always, great lesson Rob brown . I recommend your channel to all my students for supplemental work outside of our lessons. You are not only a talented drummer, but a truly gifted educator as well. You have away of making each lesson simplistic and fun for the student, both young and old. I have stolen from your lessons more than once to get points across to my students. Keep up the amazing work that you do.
Great exercise Rob! Would you please consider doing a Part 2 where you take this exact same thing and talk about how to work it on the kit? You could also talk about translating snare exercises to the kit in general, but this one would be a perfect example. Thanks too for including the end part for more advanced players. If you do a Part 2 video, can you please include a part for more advanced players there too! Love the channel! (And my new joggers!)
Shout out here in TO . ,,, your channel RAWKS !!!! talking to a lot of future young drummers and they made a good point. All agreed ur a great teacher,,, NO DOUBT. *They did say ,,, ROB says it’s not about speed, yet they just see the fast BPM’s more advanced. Hope for future vids, MAYBE QUICKLY for a Bar or Two show newer drummers, The exercise at say 60-70 BPM, so they can work up the speed,,,, A lot of younger drummers said that would be HUGE help. No disrespect meant,,, always trying to help a local brother out, during these times to grow your brand. Thx for listening bro. You and the Mrs stay safe during this craziness.
Another great lesson Rob thank you! Has changed my approach to how valuable and useful the 5 stroke roll can be! Great to see the Drumeo top, cannot wait to see what you’re gonna come up with over there too - your pocket stream was awesome
Good day Rob! A quick question (others can answer too.) Do you lower your snare drum if practicing on the drum pad to compensate for the height added by the pad? Thank you Rob and everyone!
Thanks fam really enjoyed this. Just starting out. Just picked up my practice pad and sticks and this video was inspiration to do it. It's a tricky but it is coming along. Thank for sharing so many gems for new drumers
What makes the Barney Beats a better pad? I have an old standard Vic Firth. I also use the 2 sticks I normally paly with : Zildjian 5A and 7A nylons. Is it better to use sticks I normally not use? Not trying to be contrary; I ask because everything you've suggested has enabled me to get much better. Thanks.
Nice exercise as Always Rob. The 2nd version ala (inside doubles, as you played it is at the 32nd note rate), which works very well, too!!! “Speed is not what’s important here.” Salient !!! Thanks for all you do, man!!!
Hey Rob!!! Firs of all ... How are you doing man 👊😊 I'm Luis from Santiago of Chile 🇨🇱 and I want to say you thanks very much for share these information with us ... I'm beginner in this , and I follow all your clases and tips too ... again thanks very much
I love your videos man A lot of it is stuff I thought I knew how to do, but you always get me thinking about how I can improve my techniques and control.
I would say that depends on the drummer's ability to play double strokes. Already pretty comfortable with double strokes? Then this is a great next step! Can't really play double strokes? Then it would probably be better to do a simpler double stroke drill first.
First 5 stroke variation very playable at all speeds, second one gotta shift into low and slow to stop from playin a 6 stroke. Also was trying just 3 singles per hand as a variation. Also double on second then third of the alt triplets as two other variations. Pad work is the big secret to hands that can play what you hear.
Hi Ron, could you also show how to apply the sticking control on pad to play alone music as well. I have practiced all of your pad practice, but I when I try applying it to live music, I fumble. Thanks
Just got into drumming and the only thing i own is a vader drum pad, sticks and snare stand, this video should be a good start for me, thanks a lot , just subscribed 👍. (edited because of typo)
I’d call this the TIC TOK exercise...!!! The quarter notes sound like the ticking of a clock...:). Great exercise and YES, my hands have gotten better during this Lock Down!!!! Thanks for fun ways to keep improving.
I have never been so grateful for TH-cam's half-speed feature. The quarter speed comes in handy when Rob decides to impress the kids in the back.
"You should always be ready for some pad work" I couldn't agree more.
Rob words cannot express the life that you are breathing into my drumming.
I have been in such a rut for so long that I did not think I would ever pick up the sticks again...then one day I saw one of your drumming video and I was like who is THIS? I watched the video and about 7 more after that!

That’s a super encouraging comment, man. Thanks! Glad the videos are helping you out! 👊🏽🙂
Thanks! I'm a beginner (at 50!), and I'm trying these out. Slower, generally! Feels good.
Congrats! I’m 50. Been at it for 33 years. Buying my very first “new” drum kit for my 50th. Never too late.
Good on ya mate, been playing since I was 9, I'm now 48.
@Ignacio Jerome You need help.
Hahaha I am beginner at 34 :) I have teacher, but Rob helps a lot too. I see here a lot never too late guys like me and that is great! Regards from Serbia :)

Same here, I'm 55 and learn t so much in a couple of months.
@@graememcdonald2937 It's a race against arthritis at this point but the practice actually helps a little.
At 52 i couldnt agree more , all I can say is "Thanks" to Mr Rob Brown!
Thank you so much! I just found you and have already watched about five of your videos. You are a fabulous drummer and a wonderful teacher. I am a 56-year-old woman who picked up my first drumsticks about three months ago. 😬

Thanks for all you do for the drumming community. I see your sporting a Drumeo sweatshirt. I wear my Beatdown hoodie all the time !

Who needs a metronome when we have Rob "Beatdown" Brown cranking out the beats! Great stuff, Rob! Thanks!
“Let me just speed it up so i can impress the kids in the back” calm down uncle rob dont get ahead of yourself now😂🤣
😢😂😂

I've only been working this exercise for a couple of days and I'm already seeing improvement.
I slowed it down to follow, did it so much my wrist was aching
Thanks Rob for an awesome pad workout!
2:48 dog tag microphone commence to high five. Thanks again Rob!!
Another great drill to see us through COVID!!
Thanks Rob, you’ve been a God send during this strange time!!
Rob. You are the best. I have learned so much from your videos. My playing has improved dramatically.
I'm a simple man. I see a Rob Brown video, I click. 🙏👌🙏👌
Great exercise.Been playing
& wood shedding for over 60 years & found this quite
helpful in improving my
stick control.
Thank you Ron & keep 'em
coming.
I needed to hear this opening. Thank you Mr. Brown.
That IS a great exercise. Thanks a lot Rob!
"Trying to get out of a traffic ticket"......love it.
Hey Rob! I used to pick your brain a lot at L&M 'shwa years ago. I still have the TRICK snare drum you would never buy from me. 110% glad it never left my hands now - thanks for that!
Awesome Rob, another kick ass exsersize to get the skills rolling.....thanks man.
Who's ready for some pad work? You're the reason I bought a pad.
As always, great lesson Rob brown . I recommend your channel to all my students for supplemental work outside of our lessons. You are not only a talented drummer, but a truly gifted educator as well.

I've watched 221,684 drumming vids and in my opinion yours are the BEST on TH-cam thx beatdown....
HUGE comment, man. Thanks 🙏🏽
@@RobBeatdownBrown yw..u don't rush and u explain all the details in an easy to comprehend way...plus, ur funny and humorous

I really like the flam with the triplets.

Great to see the Drumeo top, cannot wait to see what you’re gonna come up with over there too - your pocket stream was awesome
The inverted 32nds variation on the 5 stroke roll is a cool idea!
I love this exercise! Thanks for sharing!
I’ve quarantined right 🙌🏻 thanks to this channel my hands and technique are the sharpest they’ve ever been 🥁
Yet ANOTHER reason to bring your pad and sticks with you while you’re driving!
Yup ✅
Bahaha!
😂
Hopefully not while you drive! Lol
Hey ,I just want to be a good drummer ,not a killer,hehe.
This feels already great after an hour. Great exercise for improving my Moeller's as well. Thank you very much!
Ya make me feel good about myself when I pick these up right away. I really like this exercise!! Thanks!
Man you're such an inspiration, though I'm an artist and just drawing. But really I enjoy your videos. Many thanks!
Brilliant! I did this for half an hour. I gained much more control. It was fun!
top man beat down brown you have helped me improve so much.. many thanks
Yet another excellent lesson,I had to take tempo down to 54bpm and work with my dodgy left,and work slowly from there up👍
Nice
Wow ! TY for helping me set out onto the second 5-stroke pattern!! It opens me up to possibilities never worked on before! Thanks again 🙏
Definitely going to do this.
RBDB's videos are pure gold.
I'd very much appreciate a demo of the triples with a close up shot of the use of fingers.
Excellent listen. Crisp, clear execution and explanation!
Good day Rob! A quick question (others can answer too.) Do you lower your snare drum if practicing on the drum pad to compensate for the height added by the pad? Thank you Rob and everyone!
i know im really very late but it doesnt matter alot but its better if u have your snare angled to your waist or a bit lower if your a matched player
Thanks fam really enjoyed this. Just starting out. Just picked up my practice pad and sticks and this video was inspiration to do it. It's a tricky but it is coming along. Thank for sharing so many gems for new drumers

Excellent, with written sheets!
Thanks for the video Rob and please keep them coming.
Preciate cha again brother for sharing this always!
Yoooo
I work at Long and Mcquade
Thanks for the shout out, it's a great company
Hi I'm beginner play on drum for a year now and I'd really like to when you do my life complicated 😂😂😂😂 I love it
Thanks for another killer exercise Rob!
Appreciate you bro!

4:54
What do the two smaller connected dots mean? They are right after the first accent note.
Edit: never mind, I figured it out. Go me.
Hey Rob!!! Firs of all ... How are you doing man 👊😊 I'm Luis from Santiago of Chile 🇨🇱 and I want to say you thanks very much for share these information with us ... I'm beginner in this , and I follow all your clases and tips too ... again thanks very much
These vids always help. Bless up dude!
Thank You, Rob ! One more of Your great videos. Greetings from Germany.
I love your videos man
A lot of it is stuff I thought I knew how to do, but you always get me thinking about how I can improve my techniques and control.
Great workout. Thanks Rob!
Thanks Rob. I think the second 5 is the key to this. It's not that easy at first to play it cleanly.
Absolutely love all your videos rob!
Stay safe Rob!!!
06:00
Can’t help it but in my mind it’s playing When Johnny Comes Marching Home. 🤣
Yep, now that you mention it I hear it too loud and clear too.
do you recommend this exercise for beginner to intermediate drummer?
I would say that depends on the drummer's ability to play double strokes. Already pretty comfortable with double strokes? Then this is a great next step! Can't really play double strokes? Then it would probably be better to do a simpler double stroke drill first.
Never thought I would say thank you to a beat-down....Thanks man great exercise....Appreciate you✌🏽
First 5 stroke variation very playable at all speeds, second one gotta shift into low and slow to stop from playin a 6 stroke. Also was trying just 3 singles per hand as a variation. Also double on second then third of the alt triplets as two other variations. Pad work is the big secret to hands that can play what you hear.
Hey Rob, do you take hire work for music tracks?
Rob your videos are so cool can't wait to try this one
Thank you for the great tutorial and well done.
Great exercise Rob. Thank you
BARNEY BEATS Practice Pad does it feel different from the usual gray Real Feel? or is the difference just in color?
Thats the stuff i need !! Yeihh!! Diggin your stuff!! Thanks Rob!!
I have the same pad from Long and mcquad
That red pad has a nice tone
Thank you Rob! Amazing as always!
Love it... will need to work up to 110bpm but I’ll get there. And I’m digging the hoodie.... glad I finally caught you on drumeo live.
Super cool! I'm gonna buy the pad now.
Thanks🎉
Hey Rob! What are the measurments In that room? I’m building a drum room and i like how it look yours. Thanks
2x2
Hi Ron, could you also show how to apply the sticking control on pad to play alone music as well. I have practiced all of your pad practice, but I when I try applying it to live music, I fumble. Thanks

Cool: helped me that you put on screen bottom the notation on the 5 stroke- (thought maybe do that for all the variations shown....
)
