What a great teacher. I don't know if his funeral some day will be in a stadium with thousands of drummers paying tribute, but I do know that, whatever the size, the eulogy will start with: "...we are all here to honor one of the greatest drum teachers in the world, but before we get started, a link to the metronome app is at the bottom of your programs...."
Mike, I've been watching you for a few years now. Thanks for always keeping it fresh and engaging! We really are lucky to have access to all of this high quality [free] content! You sir are truly an inspiration and one of a kind 🙏🏾
DUBS is AWESOME... Darren is a super nice guy and really treats his customers right. And not to forget Tara...she's also great.....and funny. :-) I was going to attend that clinic so sad it couldn't happen. BTW, I was going to let you know I am the guy who asked the 'practice pad' question when you had the podcast with Mike Dawson that caused you two guys to actually for one disagree with each other. I smile whenever I think of it. Have a great visit with Darren.
Very nice idea,and exactly what I can use at the moment! Spent the last days on rlk + lrk combined with hihat foot at every quarter note. These accented notes will add an extra difficulty to this, so will start on that :)
Well its day two and I am able to do the paradiddle part but not against the Hi Hat, at least not yet. Working on it though. :) Thanks Mike! Great lesson. Update! This past week I was able to complete the entire lesson. All I need to do now is work on increasing the tempos. Thanks again Mike!
I might be wrong, but I think you did a similar but much easier version of this a couple of years ago. It evolved around a paradiddle too, or a 5 or 6-stroke roll, with up beats on hihat. Can't remember. I remember I tried a lot to get it down, but it didn't work. This is even harder. This really kicked my brain to the curb.
Wow what a spicy taco dinner Mike. Thank You from the bottom of my for these amazing lessons. Lenny said he’s way over his head. Please talk to him he was absolutely frustrated yesterday.
I almost got this on first trial, amazing one, thanks Mike, I love substitutions. And we can practice basically any rudiment, so long as R = Rlk and L = rLk. And let's not forget : Junoooo!!!
Es un ejercicio increíble. Totalmente satisfactorio y gratificante una vez que logras tocarlo limpiamente, es muy loco lo que puede hacerse con tres golpes.
Hey mike i just watch d brandon scott video of is jp bouvet drum camp he did and ur speech u did in ur tesla is so good ur 1 of a kind and it show how a good person u are and ur d 1 i want for teaching me drum cant wait to start my mikelesson cours ur awsm please take care of u drummer need u
This is some cool shit. You can go on with that accent idea forever with every 3 linear group then move on and up. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it
Of all the cool lessons you share, this is one of my favorites! I find it a little sweet as well as spicy. A lot like our golden siiracha, can I send you a bottle (or 2) to say thank you?
Loving the podcast! I listen on spotify and don't have Instagram, so I can't reach out like that... I mean I've told you on Facebook, but I'm saying it again on here because YT needs to know and help that algorithm. Great lesson too! Independence is so much fun to get that "Ah Ha! Moment" on.
@@mikeslessons that's awesome! Definitely looking forward to it. One aspect about your podcast that I love is the friendship level chemistry that is so authentic. I feel like I've just gotten to chat with my two great friends that happen to be drumming monsters (but not in what would be the intimidating way if it were to actually happen in person kind of thing... if that makes sense) Anyway, great job!
Skate reference! What about playing drums 'switch' I took my whole kit and made it a switch kit and it's blown my mind wide open. Left foot pedal right foot hat's... snare on the right floor on the left.. Yeah Mike.
Mike I’m considering you my drum teacher out of all podcast instructors!! Is there some way to reach out to you? I’d like to request a few things!! Thank Mike.
Is the video at 5:16 actually exclusively your audio recording? I'm playing it over and over and the snare sound doesn't match either the sheet music or what I see your hands doing (granted the frame rate might be hiding something and the camera angle moves multiple times). It sounds like there is just straight 16ths on snare layered on top of the entire thing? Was that added in post? Regardless, great exercise. Thanks for the video!
My lab dog really loves her tennis ball, I mean REALLY loves hunting her tennis ball.. Well that same relationship has my finger with my mobile when a Mike's video lesson shows up..
Great question. It's because the phrase is 3 16th notes long (RLK) so if you play that on a loop it will land on the 1 after 3 quarter notes, AKA 3/4. Hope that helps my friend :)

Don't forget about the shigidaboops!
Okay bro 03:36 that talking/teaching bit while playing was a HUGE FLEX. THIS IS WHY MJ IS KING EDUCATOR PEOPLE!!!
Medium spicy he says... Dude you're killing me!
Literally just started getting back into drumming properly and to see this vid pop up makes me so happy to be back 🥁🥁
Thank you, Mike. It's very helpful for me.
Took a couple of years to dig in and commit to this, but I've finally figured it out. Thanks Mike!
Mike, I've been watching you for a few years now. Thanks for always keeping it fresh and engaging! We really are lucky to have access to all of this high quality [free] content! You sir are truly an inspiration and one of a kind 🙏🏾
I love the way Mike teaches. I'm not even a drummer but I'm subscribed.
Mike you're so inspiring, your lessons have helped my drumming a lot. Thanks from a chilean fan!!
Man, this is going to take some work! Thanks again Mike awesome as always
If it didn't take work it wouldn't be worth it right? You got this brother!

Ya man, they are the best. Tara attended one of my camps here in Folsom a few years ago. She had us laughing all week long!
I'm teaching drums to 1 older student but now I want to learn new things. Thanks.
oltre ad essere un bravo insegnante è sempre un divertimento seguire i tuoi video didattici GRAZIE! :)
I must to do this ...i wish ..i love it ....
I love to know it
Mike .. Thank you
You got this my friend! I have 100% faith that you WILL get this down!
Mike J
Mike, you are the best I've seen and I have been all over the internet... Thank You for making me a much better well rounded drummer
Cool stuff 😎
Great exercise, Mike! Thank you for the content! 🙏
Man, this made me realize I haven't worked on independence as much I would have liked. Time to hit the kit. Great lesson!
Wow! For me this is all the way spicy. The good thing is that I definitely know what I have to work on! 🥁❤
One man's Korma is another man's Vindaloo. I may need a glass of beer with this...
👍🙂 Why stop w/1? 😂🍻 (NOBODY likes a quitter! 😂)
Janet, you're so right. I may need shares in a brewery to master this one!
Mike johnston numero 1.
That’s. Just. Insane!🔥😍
Im doing it directly after work tomorrow😋🥁
Fabulous!

Thanks for all your content it rules !!
That’s sick man! What an awesome lesson!
Around 5:15 that was really starting to get so deep in the pocket! Beautiful.
Thanks Ross, that really means a lot man!
Here again, great video
Much appreciated Edward 🙏🍵🙏🍵
Wow what a spicy taco dinner Mike. Thank You from the bottom of my for these amazing lessons. Lenny said he’s way over his head. Please talk to him he was absolutely frustrated yesterday.
Great job man thx so much
Man, again this is fantastic and it can be practiced (as I have nowhere for my kit at the moment) on my thighs. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Absolutely! That's how I learned it in the first place :)
Mike, you are such an awesome dude! Love you, thanks for the inspiration! Stay safe!
5:48 that ocd tho. Your ghost notes are on fire btw, so clean and stable. Kutgw Mike!
Thank you Mike.
oh yea i had to write this one down and really get into it visually. ill get it soon! thanks for the workout
Just finished the video! Thanks for the challenge, will sure be giving that a try, emphasis on the try lol!
I'm right there with you. I'll be honest and say that this video took a bit longer to film than most, LOL
Grazie per i tuoi tutorial 😉
These are the lessons I need in my life! Awesome!! Subbed 1000%🤘
I almost got this on first trial, amazing one, thanks Mike, I love substitutions. And we can practice basically any rudiment, so long as R = Rlk and L = rLk. And let's not forget : Junoooo!!!
I got distracted by that blue sparkle. Absolutely gorgeous!
Another incredible positive lesson, and thanks so much for the Juneau fix LOL
Es un ejercicio increíble. Totalmente satisfactorio y gratificante una vez que logras tocarlo limpiamente, es muy loco lo que puede hacerse con tres golpes.
Hey mike i just watch d brandon scott video of is jp bouvet drum camp he did and ur speech u did in ur tesla is so good ur 1 of a kind and it show how a good person u are and ur d 1 i want for teaching me drum cant wait to start my mikelesson cours ur awsm please take care of u drummer need u

This thing used to drive me CRAZY when I first learned it, lol. One note at a time though :)
Thank you!
Muy bueno, gracias
Amen, best teacher ev
Been drumming 51 years and have never felt so inadequate as a player. Getting this down is my current challenge....
Brother, if it makes you feel better, this video was not done in one take, or ten! LOL.
I like this. Its so nice! I almost wanna hop on the drums except it quite late. Neighbors might not be pleased.
Salut Mike, thanks for all your free lesson. It's help me a lot. See you soon. À bientôt. Christophe
I was practicing Gavin’s paradiddle independence, now this is my next!
Rad stuff! Thank you 🙏
You are so very welcome my friend. Enjoy it, and grow it!
Difficulty typing as the phone is overheating!
ANOTHER SPLENDID VIDEO FROM THE MASTER!
LOL! You actually made me laugh out loud with that one! 🍵🙏🙏🍵

Your dog is beautiful!!! I love animals and drums haha thanks for your informative videos. Always helping us out so much!!
Dude!!! That’s crazy I bought my first drum set from dub drums basement. It’s a nice shop and not overpriced.
Just joined up mate, great vids and tuition👍
Great video and lesson Mike! Love the jurasskick park comment! LMAO :))
Love it!
This is some cool shit. You can go on with that accent idea forever with every 3 linear group then move on and up. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it
Exactly! Now you know what it's like to be a member of my site. lol
Great
"Intermediate independence is advanced drumming", I
'm not quite there yet haha....still in course 1, Thanks Mike!! 🙏

Much appreciated Janet! Have fun with this one :)

Cholula, baby. Bring the heat and toss on more Scoville!
8:06 yes I feel this! time for some old skate footage!

Awe man, thanks so so much. Eddy and I are having a freaking blast doing it. We even have a special guest next week!

Anyway, great job!
All this talk of spice making me hungry🔥🤤now I gotta choose...FOOD...or DRUMS? 🤯
Both, that's what side snares are for. Epic tables for burritos :) LOL
@@mikeslessons you’re not wrong!
UPDATE: I now have a freshly decorated side snare skin with guac, rice and hot sauce🤦🏼♂️I cant be trusted lol
Skate reference!
What about playing drums 'switch'
I took my whole kit and made it a switch kit and it's blown my mind wide open. Left foot pedal right foot hat's... snare on the right floor on the left..
Yeah Mike.
This is a super funny exercise👌🏻👌🏻
I was checking out the metronome your using but it is not available for Android. I hope they will come out with one for Android! Thanks Mike!
Mike I’m considering you my drum teacher out of all podcast instructors!! Is there some way to reach out to you? I’d like to request a few things!! Thank Mike.
Omg 🤣👍🏻 that's very cool
This is only medium spicy?! 😭 I think I need to reassess my spice tolerance!!! Work to do!
LOL! It's all relative. I have Independence courses from Beginner to Pro and this would be somewhere in the middle :)

Extra spicy!!!!!
What a good Stuff. What is it for a Drumkit and what Kind of Snare is it. The Sound ist amazing. Greetings from Germay. Piet
Hell yeah
Hey Mike, can't find that metronome app on play store.. apple exclusive?
I'm afraid so my friend.
Is the video at 5:16 actually exclusively your audio recording? I'm playing it over and over and the snare sound doesn't match either the sheet music or what I see your hands doing (granted the frame rate might be hiding something and the camera angle moves multiple times). It sounds like there is just straight 16ths on snare layered on top of the entire thing? Was that added in post? Regardless, great exercise. Thanks for the video!
LOL, not at all my friend, that is 100% me. You might be hearing some "sympathetic snare buzz" as I play the toms and the kick. Glad you enjoyed it :)
Dude Its you holy shit! Simon says fucking rocked
LOL! Yep, it's me and THANK YOU. We just started jamming again after almost 20 years :)
My lab dog really loves her tennis ball, I mean REALLY loves hunting her tennis ball.. Well that same relationship has my finger with my mobile when a Mike's video lesson shows up..
LOL! Comment of the day!
I ran out of milk watching this spicy treat.
LOL! Nice one brother :)
Well, that gives me something to work on for the next year. After only playing for 40 so far. 🙄🤨😭
Awesome ! By the way, I find it interesting your left leg looks like it's hitting 8th notes but obviously only chinking the hi hat on the up beats.
That is a biscuit and half. Quite a mouthful but I'll get it down!
I have no doubt that you will absolutely smash this! One note at a time :)
@@mikeslessons I got the third stage down tonight! Hell yeah 🤪
@@no_spill YES!!! That’s awesome. Congrats.
Spicyyy and wanna dip it in on mayo too! With potato wedgyyy 🤣
Now we’re talking!!!
How can I do this on a practice pad? lol
That's how I learned it.
🔥🔥
this is literally the foundation of the main beat in Swarm from Meshuggah
Very tricky. I advise learning the accent pattern first in your head before applying the sticking
Frank’s Red Hot Sauce!
LOL! Nice 🌶🌶🌶
Does anyone know where I can order a left foot that can play the Upnotes,mines super independent and refuses to work lol
LOL! I'm pretty sure SweetWater is selling my left foot for $75.00 through Black Friday!
Howt sawse that’s tricky.
Is that a faun Doberman?
are the transcriptions embedded in these TH-cam presentations? excuse my navigation skills
musical transcript..........
Jurasskickpark shook my picante sauce!
Hard Stoff for Brain & Body in the Morning. Feel like Mowgly in Jungle Book in contact with the snake
Why the 3/4 time?
Great question. It's because the phrase is 3 16th notes long (RLK) so if you play that on a loop it will land on the 1 after 3 quarter notes, AKA 3/4. Hope that helps my friend :)
Everyone, watch this at .75 speed and listen to how ripped mike sounds. Im laughing so hard right now
