I think all of your lessons are intuitive and extremely helpful to drummers if all levels. Thank you for your dedication to helping others realize their dreams.
This is a brilliant lesson Rob, I can totally vouch for this. I've been drumming for many years and have never been very happy with my feel and timing. Just recently I started practicing to very slow tempos (40-60 bpm) and also with a metronome skipping a bar or two periodically. This has transformed my playing. It also had an unexpectedly large effect on my feel - I used to play ahead of the beat all the time, and I realised it was because I wasn't comfortable with my sense of time. Once you get confident with your internal pulse, you find yourself relaxing and laying back on the groove. So I'd highly recommend this! Keep up the great work man, love your channel!
I think it was Stewart Copeland that said the key to playing fast is to start playing slow. Same concept. If you want to learn any rudiment or fill, play it slow, and maintain tempo, starting out. Playing the rudiment or fill at the faster tempo will come once the muscles are used to the flow. Works for everything behind the kit, and it's easy to forget this, especially slow to mid tempo fills that "sound" easy.
And even maintaining tempo shouldn't be a requirement when first practicing some patterns and stuff. The more important thing is to be able to respect de sequence and be sure the alignments (let's say left hand and right foot going at the same time) are spot on. Once that sequence is internalized you can start to worry about keeping the time (slow of course). This is what i found in my experience. Then speeding up the tempo will come naturally.
Last year on hands, this year working on solos, don't know how to thank you! Huge improvements in my playing since I started following. More jazz lessons if you get a chance!!! thanks again.
Great lesson, thank you. I played a fill-in gig just before the lock downs in March and the singer started the last set with No Diggity, a great slow jam tune. The rest of the band jumped in and we were cooking. After the guitar players traded solos the singer looked back at me and called for a drum solo. Yikes! Hands down the most difficult part of the night for me. I went to a couple go-to fills, but it was nothing fancy, and maybe even a little sloppy. I basically kept to a couple of my go-to fills and hoped not to drop the beat. I had never even thought about practicing a solo at slow tempos, but I'll be practicing it from now on.
As a beginner drummer, I am great at staying click to click but my subdivisions are horribly uneven. I just figure if I start on Click 1 and get to Click 2 on time, who cares how I got there? My question, when you play a solo, do you have to worry about even subdivisions or are you finally free to just play without concerns of time, tempo, dynamics, subdivisions, etc...all the things that make drums so difficult.
I may have mentioned this before, but damnit...that snare. So great. I’ve watched the first part of this 5 times now. It just makes me happy with its grooviness.
Sup Rob ! Awesome video dude! I'd like to let you with a suggestion of content. What about a video explaining how do you learn the songs ? There are tons of complex drum tracks, and should be awesome to have some tips and tricks to learn easier the tracks! Thanks for the videos, mate! See yah from Brazil !
Einstein: "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler".... ..or something like that. Rob Brown cf Einstein. Think the latter played violin though... Anyway enough rambling. You get my point.
I would like to hear you throw some cowbell in there. No I’m not trying to be a wise acre. However you have a weckl like effect on this video that’s why I asked. Sounds good.

Rob - you are really getting your lessons & “voice” dialed in. You are carving out a distinctive space in drum universe. Thank you!!
Big compliment right there, man. Thanks 🙂✌🏽
Discipline to mantain tempo during solo development. First and most important tip.

@@DrumaierTrue, you can't even practice the part slowly until you're in alignment ;)
Rob you've been a lifesaver! Thank you for sharing your gift! One of my favorite channels!
Each lesson gets better and more refined. Watching you for a bit! Keep ‘em coming!
Thanks man 🙂

Hi.. your in depth analysis and very informative tips are second to none.. amazing as usual.😁
Thanks much, man 👊🏾
Good ol' Rob. Always always delivers.
Beatdown,,,,, Your the man! You are really helping me up my level. Much appriciation.

My question, when you play a solo, do you have to worry about even subdivisions or are you finally free to just play without concerns of time, tempo, dynamics, subdivisions, etc...all the things that make drums so difficult.
thanks Rob for the help,may GOD bless yu for yur effort.your videos have been so helpful to me
Thanks for this lesson and for this GREAT channel that allows me to study with you while living in italy!!!👍🏻
Wuddup, Italy 🇮🇹 Shout out from Canada 🙂🇨🇦
Golden soloing installment, Thanks Rob!
I may have mentioned this before, but damnit...that snare. So great.
I’ve watched the first part of this 5 times now. It just makes me happy with its grooviness.
I do a hybrid style solo. I start out slow or fast depending on my mood. During the solo i will change the tempo. Base on what i want in the dynamics.
Good lesson! Thank you!
Yes indeed ,liked alot and doing it with some Miles Davies stuff, along with Herbie Hancock ,weaving.in and out with results!!!!
Good stuff brother, I had to get that shirt you were wearing.
Thank you mam!
MASTER 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Nice vid Rob, great tip!
Rob is cool.
At 14:39... Rob refers to the exercises that he did at the top of the year. Progressive subdivision series" Does anyone have a link to this please?
Aha! Found them. Did a search on "Rob brown drum solo skill development" doh!
Sup Rob ! Awesome video dude!

Is there a reason you set up your kit at an angle? It seems to be at an angle to the room instead of straight on like it has been.
can you please give exact models of cymbals used in this video please
I think they're paiste signitures. For sure they're paiste.
Edit: he's got dark energy's by paiste
