DOING MORE WITH RLK
ฝัง

- We all know that beautiful RLK RLK RLK RLK that Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Carmine Appice, Mitch Mitchell, Don Brewer et al. did so well. I remember it was one of the first things I saw a friend do on the drums that made me think, 'damn, I need to be able to do that'.
Bonham & Walfredo Reyes Jr. inverting it was a wonderful take on it. But can we make it our own?
This video series is going to take your 16th Note Triplet chops to a new level. We'll be combining RLK with other patterns to make something uniquely our own.
This is a deep dive into RLK and all the potential options it has to offer. Are there some dynamic changes within that sticking that can bring out different patterns and melodies?
This was a blast to make so I hope you enjoy. Let me know if you have any questions on it and thanks so much for watching.

This is a very practical and easy to understand tutorial!
Thanks man and glad to hear it 🫡
Oh. I i wish you were around when I was young. Back in the 90s. Amazing amazing video.
Thanks very much man, very glad you enjoyed it 🫡
Great production man definitely keep up!
Thanks so much man! I appreciate this a lot and am def making more. Thank you dude 🙏
Killer lesson! I like how you’re using this concept with sextuplets. It’s great to hear them in more useful situations outside of 8th note’s triplets . Thank you!!!
Thank you man, am glad you found it useful 🙏 And 100%, we want to be able to rock out the RLKs at slower tempos too! All the best man 🫡
Nice breakdown on a nice sounding kit. Good job!
Thanks so much man!
Dude!! Just found your channel!! Sooooo underrated, this have to blow up!!
Thanks so much man. I appreciate that a lot 🤘🥁👊 Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions 🙏🙇♂️🙏
This is how seven minutes accidentally watched TH-cam can create a week‘s programme for practising, puh…😂😂😂
Thank you so much - that‘s exactly what I needed to find my way back to the drums. 👍💪💪 Regards from Germany!!
Haha love it! Thanks so much Kai and so glad you found it useful! Let me know if you have any q’s! 🙏
Thanks - I‘ll do. But at the moment it‘s a question of remembering (Head and limbs) that rusty stuff I once was able to drum😂
This is my first time seeing this channel and you’re immediately up there with my other favorite drummer Josh Merhar
You Sir, are the man!! Thanks so much dude, I’m glad you enjoyed 🤘🥁🫡
Nice bro
Thanks man 🙏🥁🫡
Sorry, I was just kidding, rock on bro 👍👍😁
No worries man & thanks 🫡
Great production, pal! Seen dynamic approach to RLK explained by Jojo Mayer quite long time ago, was him the one moved you to digging this further than "rock approach" so to speak?
Also JP Bouvet talks a lot about this very topic and even launched a course - so, little compe here :)
Thanks man.
Haven’t seen Jojo Mayer cover this no, although I would like to as I bet he smashes it! Do you know what DVD/video that’s from? I’d love to see it.
I saw JP do a post on Instagram the other day about RLK in straight time but didn’t know he had a course on it in 16th Note Triplets?
I don’t think there should ever be competition in education and will never try to compete with anyone. Everyone has a voice and we can always push ourselves further on the instrument by taking what’s come before and trying to develop it/make it our own. As you’ll see from most of my videos, I am always trying to play with dynamics in order to uncover new melodies as I think that’s such an important thing for us drummers!
I think changing the dynamics up in pretty much all rudiments/patterns is essential to making great music. I think Jojo & JP are absolutely amazing drummers and love them both. I’d never try and detract from what they’ve done before.
Hope that eradicates any suggestion of competition and thank you for your comment! I hope you enjoyed the video 🙏
@@ferggriffindrums Hey, Ferg, thanks for your response! I totally respect the drummers who develop their own vocabulary, while I myself am very much dependent on other persons' approach. So yeah, totally agree about the dynamics in paradiddles, which brings them to whole another level of musicality. Wish I could put more time in doing it now.
Yeah, here's JoJo's lecture where he elaborates on this topic (after the 9th minute):

That was actually the first time I've ever heard about this approach in terms of simple coordination patterns. So I was curious whether you have the same sources :)
Thanks man I will totally check this out 🤘🥁👊
Amazing video production for someone with less than 1000 subs
Thanks so much man. You just made my day!
So although I am right handed I feel very much more comfortable doing LRK over RLK (thanks to me trying to mimic Bonzo). I assume I can simply invert it or?
Absolutely man! That’s really interesting that you find it easier playing LRK instead of RLK.
RLK into LRK is always a wicked combination.
I think yeah, exploring LRK, LrK, & lrK would be an awesome thing to do! Ultimately, as drummers we should try and muck with the dynamics of everything we play and see what we can make.
Also, playing LRK into RLRLKK sounds to me like a sickkkk combination.
Let me know how you get on & thanks for your comment! 🙏
Great man but slow down for a moment 🙏🏼
Hey man, thanks this is helpful advice! Do you mean the playing, the talking, trying to cover too much in one video? Lmk as is helpful to me & thanks!
@@ferggriffindrums the playing I mean. Up until the practice lick around 4:30 mark everything was too fast, at least for me 🤪 but nonetheless great stuff dude 👍🏻
Dude this is really helpful, thanks so much. I can definitely do some more bits at a slower speed so is easier to see what’s going on. Thanks for your constructive feedback brother 🤘🥁👊
Nice job however like most teachers for people that are beginners or even starting intermediate you need to slow down the start of your feels then slowly work up to speed
Totally understand, Dave. In actual fact, I don’t like this video at all and there is a lot I’m not happy with about it. Nonetheless, I learnt a lot from it. Please check out my later videos where I break things down in a better way. The double stroke roll video, for example, I break things down super slow! 🫡
@@ferggriffindrums awesome thank you I will keep up the good work
💤😴🥱
Haha not a fan?
