    Here's how to play chops :
    - Learn single stroke
    - Learn double strokes
    - just do random stuff with those two rudiments, fast enough so no one notice you don't even know what you're doing

    How to exponentially improve your chops
    1) learn a few 3-8 note groupings (RLK, RLLK, LRLLK, RLRLLK, etc.)
    2) practice those grouping in different subdivisions (16th notes, triplets, sextuplets, etc.)
    3) move it around the kit to see what it sounds like with different orchestrations
    4) try combining those groupings in 1-4 bar phrases. Start simple (how many groups of 3 and 4 can you fit together in 2 bars? If playing 16th notes, how many different ways can you add 3 and 4 to equal 32? You can do this for any subdivision for any length of time)
    5) use your smaller groupings to create larger groupings (3+4=7 or RLK+RLLK= RLKRLLK)
    6) develop your own patterns and groupings to personalize your chops
    Do that for a long time, and boom, youre now chops MaGee. Zack is right, it all sounds the same at some point, and if you listen to enough chops players, they are doing everything mentioned above, and executing it at a high level.
    Love the vids zack, keep it up. P.S- try less dick jokes lol.

      I have a question,for the 3-8 note groupings,am I supposed to play any of the notes as a ghost note?(Like
      RLLK-I play LL as a ghost note)or just play it like Zack did till I’m up to speed??

    Zack did great summation of what I have always thought but was not able to put in words. My theory; you could take two books and become better than 95% of all drummers out there. 1. George Lawrence Stone's Stick Control, (working all the stick patterns around the drums). 2 Any simple, well written book of drumbeats; ie John Pickering's The Drummer's Cookbook; working every conceivable hi-hat and cymbal combination you can come up with. I've been drumming for at least 57 years. I can't ever remember using a fill I learned off of TH-cam. I work on them sometimes, but rarely enough to where they become part of my repertoire. By doing the two things I mentioned above; cool and creative fills and "chops" will automatically come out of nowhere, often as much a surprise to yourself as to anybody listening. The soundman for our band is also a drummer. The other night after the band finished, he said, "Man you did some cool stuff I've never heard before." I said, "Yeah, me too."

    I’m by no means an expert here but one of my good friends also told me to work on R L L and L R R as a pattern as well and even after a few days I’m starting to get the desired sound. It’s important to practice the dynamics and really accentuate them (very low stick heights when not accented, almost inaudible).

Easy enough to flip them back in. When i was young and naive i asked the guy i worked with what this "weird china cymbal" was when a cymbal arrived inverted, only for him to laugh himself silly and take it off me and pop it back the way it should be... oops haha!

    Zack; I just happened across a video of you learning to play Sax in 10 minutes and now here. I have been playing drums for 30 years, I have no chops. Your video has brought back some basics of thought for me to take home and work on. Spent years learning rudiments and performing in orchestras, and bands....but never developed beyond "making the cut". What you say here, rings with me! Basics, tighten 'em up, get up to speed! Paradiddle was my favorite rudiment as I developed it into my own groves and solos. Need to do that with RLKK! RLRLKK! With that said, I still have not figured out how to double kick on a bass....to save my life. :(

    Zack it looks like you need to be a little more careful. Hi hat injuries are not common but can happen. When they do you will be shocked. These injuries can vary from cracking or breaking to inverting. What we saw today was your hi hat invert. I would recommend fix it up as fast as you can. We are lucky it didn’t crack. If you feel comfortable you can try and fix it yourself but I recommend taking to a professional to fix it. We hope your hi hat is alright. :)

    I haven't played drums for the last 4 years but your channel is making me feel so much desired to get back into it! sadly covid and living in University dorm doesn't make it easy. But I think I will give it a try after things get better. Thanks for the cool way you make the videos!

    If my drumming was on par with my skin flute playing I would be Travis Barker.

    I’ve been playing for 9 years and I’ve never learnt my double strokes. Any advice guys? Is it simply about patience and discipline or am I just a dumbass lol

      Check Rob Brown, Gordy Knudtson for some excellemt insights. Most people will tell you about accenting 2nd stroke, but rarely go in any particular depth I feel. Unlocking clean doubles is really satisfying. And once you get that solid even sound going it gets super addictive, and motivating to work on. The "4800 double strokes" excersise made by Rob Brown gave incredible results for me in just a few days. After 1 year of doing this, lets say 1-3 times a week I am blown away by the results. Combine this with getting into different diddles and you will be set for life : ) Good luck!

    sticking is playing extra strokes on one hand (RRR) for example to free the other hand for movement or Crash hit in this case. I learned this in marching band snare. Its important.

    Worst comment you've ever received. Go 🤣🤣 (My friend and I have a running text chat with my worst ones from the last few years. Dream is eventually to turn them into a coffee table book.) (BTW nice chops. Every time I watch you chop I'm like "ok, extra hour in the shed")

    Just came across this today, and what a hoot! This is great advice and in light of the 30 day chops course that just finished on Drumeo, is particularly useful. Loved the 30 day chops course by the way, I am already seeing fruit from the course in my playing. Thanks Zack!
