I've been following your account since you first started. I started playing in 74 at age 5, but can no longer play due to spinal injury. I just love watching you play and you are such a great teacher. I still visualize playing -- rudiments, etc, and I figure out polyrhythms, etc. I mostly write for the guitar and piano even though i no longer play (20 yrs now), but music is in my blood. Keeps me going. BTW-- I started following DRUMEO when they were two 13-14 year old teenagers in a dark basement learning how to play. SO wonderful to see what they've turned their account into AND that you're on there. Thank you for sharing so much of your wisdom. Your playing brings so much joy into my life, and I'm sure so many others. Thank you, Rob!! : )
Your single, double, paradiddle exercise with the triplets in between is still my favorite exercise ever. I'm going to have to commit this to muscle memory too, I think.
@DrMackSplackem no the 3 part is first the way he's playing it. I know it's a bit confusing but it's about where the bar line is in a 2 bar phrase. It's easier to hear in son clave.
You are cool, man. I have played in a few samba bands (and other latin stuff), and I would immidately go for straight 16ths notes for playing this. A kind of paradiddle is way cooler and much more useful. I love how you added the flams! Very nice variations. All the best! :)
hi rob, thank you for another inspiring video! i would like to know your opinion about warming up before starting workouts. is it at all necessary or can you just warm up during practicing?
Good concept/lesson...I did consider the ghosts version as (including) triplets, but association with paradiddles could be OK, too... The flam version was too flam-heavy for me (matter of taste), and I prefer (at most) flams only at main clave accent points 1,2, and 3...but, again, this may be a matter of taste...it is still possible that an all-accent points flam pattern may be appropriate in some songs... Also, placing the clave accent points within a rhythm/groove on a cowbell, wood block, or tom (and then adding a downbeat) might be nice...I have not yet worked out the downbeat placement... Again, good concept/lesson…
Man I notice that with the regular 5b pro mark sticks my hands and wrists hurt but I borrowed somebody else’s 5b that were a lot longer and I felt absolutely better. Do you have some recommenddation for some long pro mark sticks?
You are playing the Rumba Clave. Means you play the 4 and. Not the 4 in the 3 Part of the Clave. Funny, your right hand plays the American grip and your left hand plays the German Grip. When you play single strokes with your right hand your stick is in one line with your arm. The left hand has the angle of the German grip. Maybe you are a lefti like me who plays like a right handed drummer. But your ideas of playing the clave on the drums are great.ThanX.
Thanks Mr. Rob. I really appreciate the dedication you provide to your viewers/students. The time and effort you put in explaining not just this lesson but all of your lessons. Much appreciated with gratitude. Phaedra from Philly 😊
Thanks for stealing my warm ups dude. I been doing these on my channel for years. BTW The CLAVE is not a rhythm...it's a timeline structure. Too bad YT doesn't have a policy for stealing content.
It is clave. However it is a 3-2 Rumba clave there is also of course the2-3 rum a clave. AND the the son clave... Both being 2 bar phrases upon which the whole of Latin music is based surprise Rob didn't go into both sides of the 2 or 3 sided clave would make the exercise expand even more
@emigran7472 you're right, though there's more, especially with the extended usage of the term. I'm just pointing out the laziness of his explanation. He's not saying this is A clave but, that this phrase here is THE clave.
Hey y'all. You can download a free PDF of these cool exercises in the description box. Have fun with em!
Where can I get sticks like yours?Thanks for all your videos.👍👍

I must admit, you are a great teacher. May GOD continue to bless your channel.
Perfect Martian accent. Because your drumming is out of this world.

any chance of a link plz?
Thanks Rob. Great exercises to shake things up.
3:2 Rhumba clave to be exact. 😄
Great exercises!
You mean 2,3, right?
@DrMackSplackem no the 3 part is first the way he's playing it. I know it's a bit confusing but it's about where the bar line is in a 2 bar phrase. It's easier to hear in son clave.
@@DrMackSplackem it's 3:2 rhumba clave for sure. 3 notes at the front with little bit delayed on the third note, 2 notes at the back.
You are cool, man. I have played in a few samba bands (and other latin stuff), and I would immidately go for straight 16ths notes for playing this. A kind of paradiddle is way cooler and much more useful. I love how you added the flams! Very nice variations. All the best! :)
Beginner here, I'll say this is great practice for my up and down strokes with the accents.
Nice ...This is one of the ways to easily play Makossa or Seben rhythm & most African drummers are familiar with this pattern
A great way to spice up those diddles!
Thanks for sharing these awesome and intuitive videos. 😁🥁
Oh.... Mr. ROB, that metronome counter you have on your computer, can you share the app for that? Thanks
Best lesson I've seen in a long while. Great job!!
Wow, what a great lesson. Good job mister!!!
UR ARE ONE BAD MAN THANK YOU ROB FOR PUSHING MY ENVELOPE
Hi! Cool metronome on the laptop💪🏻
Which app is it?
A most excellent lesson, good sir 🙏😎

Wish I knew that back in 73 when I started 😢
A perfect thing to use on the cowbell too. Great tips here. Steve Gadd and Walfredo Reyes Jr. does this type of groove too. Cheers, Rob! 👍👍✌️🥁🇨🇦

hi rob, thank you for another inspiring video! i would like to know your opinion about warming up before starting workouts. is it at all necessary or can you just warm up during practicing?
I liked the exercise, great stuff. Can I ask you please What is the metronome app you’re using?
What kind of sticks do you use
I too would like to know.What size,are they hickory and where can we get them?
What's your metronome app?
Quadradiddles!
Mój ulubiony bębniarz :)
Nice !! 👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
try to combine 3:2 rhumba clave(which is what you play) with 3:2 son clave and do also the counter direction.
Great lesson! You're actually playing the Rumba clave, right?
Good concept/lesson...I did consider the ghosts version as (including) triplets, but association with paradiddles could be OK, too...
The flam version was too flam-heavy for me (matter of taste), and I prefer (at most) flams only at main clave accent points 1,2, and 3...but, again, this may be a matter of taste...it is still possible that an all-accent points flam pattern may be appropriate in some songs...

Again, good concept/lesson…
I’m waiting on you to get that new Yamaha hi-hat bro. 😂😂😂. Then again, why bother if your current Yamaha HH Stand does the job and does it well.
Man I notice that with the regular 5b pro mark sticks my hands and wrists hurt but I borrowed somebody else’s 5b that were a lot longer and I felt absolutely better. Do you have some recommenddation for some long pro mark sticks?
Flamuel L. Jackson😂😂 Nice.
I play a rhythm like that on me knee or the table I'm sitting at a lot
Hey Rob, im in canada, and our postal service is on strike. What is your merchandise shipping when it hits canada?
That intro 😂

Actually , Rob, speed is important ! CAuse you doing it so fast i the slow demo, that i have to slow it down much more to understand :)))
Thanks Mr. Rob. I really appreciate the dedication you provide to your viewers/students. The time and effort you put in explaining not just this lesson but all of your lessons. Much appreciated with gratitude. Phaedra from Philly 😊

😮
I enjoy your videos, Phil!
No, it's not called 'clave'. That's like saying that the thing you're playing is called a rhytm ..
It is clave. However it is a 3-2 Rumba clave there is also of course the2-3 rum a clave. AND the the son clave... Both being 2 bar phrases upon which the whole of Latin music is based surprise Rob didn't go into both sides of the 2 or 3 sided clave would make the exercise expand even more
@emigran7472 you're right, though there's more, especially with the extended usage of the term. I'm just pointing out the laziness of his explanation. He's not saying this is A clave but, that this phrase here is THE clave.
What are those drum sticks pls
This is awesome Rob! Thanks for the inspiration 😮
Perfect exercise thank you very much
