      Practice with a metronome. Don’t just randomly hit, control every movement.
      If you can’t do basic rudiments there is no reason to start with what he is doing. He is doing these because he is bored with basics. So learn your 40 rudiments
      Tune you drums to pitch. Especially if your music stays in a certain key the whole time. Example 55hz bass drum, 220hz snare. Out of tune is out of tune.

    It would be great if you could slow it down. Do you remember when you were learning at 1st. You have so many drum teachers going a hundred miles an hour. That's great for guys that have been on the journey for awhile. But you could teach the same thing to buggies if you would slow it down.

    • @BeeBeeCJr
      @BeeBeeCJr 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Lance Hollum Hey, you can slow it down on your computer and study it. It takes very minimal effort on your part, but doing this helps me IMMENSELY with breaking down and understanding complex playing and helps comprehend better what’s happening.
      You can do 75%, 50%, and even 25% speed.
      *select the “settings” or “options” tab under the video menu and select “playback speed” and adjust to your liking.
      Give it a try! Hope this helps!

    For these patterns as fills would the 5s and 7s played over 16ths or as tuplets? So the 5 pattern played twice with 3 eight notes played after? Just looking for suggestions on how to incorporate these cool patterns. Similarly with the 5 and 7 groove patterns with the quarter note pulse, is the 5 or 7 part over 16ths/32nds with rests or is it a Gavin Harrison type "override" polymetric groove? Thanks in advance!

    • @PeeDeeJay
      @PeeDeeJay 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      All those are great ways to implement these patterns: Fill in the extra space with singles, leave empty space, or play the pattern over a "standard" time signature while alternating the accented notes. IMO the third option is the most challenging as learning how the accent shifts every beat will force you to be able to play a 5 note pattern in 5 different ways. Good luck.

    • @alesh_k
      @alesh_k 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      With odd grouping it seems the most usefull to practice them in 4/4 as 16th and 32nd noted and also as triplets and sextuplet, then in quintuplets for example (if it's a grouping of 5). Also maybe try shifting the backbeat or other limbs and make it sound like it's quintuplets (implied metric modulation). I'm sure there's more possibilities but I usually get bored at that point haha.

      That's expanding patterns, by finding different ways to do the same thing. You can extend the phrase by adding beats to it, and you can even reduce the pattern
