2 days later after you posted this video, I finally figured out how to play it. The trick is that the left hand (e's and a's) really drives the syncopation, as that's where the Kick drum beat starts and the snare accent lands. I wrote out the rhythm: 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a R R R R R R R R L L L A L L L L K K K K
Backbeat ! So playing traditional feels really good for this groove especially with the subtle ghost notes being able to really control. Played both match and traditional and man just feels great all around but traditional wins for me here.
Hey Rob, thanks man for everything. I strongly recommend you get the line "Ain't no need for no PDFs." put on some merch. That is the line of our times my friend.
Glad you’re delving into Latin grooves. This lesson reminded me that I used to have an instructional VHS tape of the late Chuck Silverman that I let my drum teacher borrow. Never got it back.
The thing that draws me to Rob is pragmatism. Hes a current, contemporary working drummer who imparts tools to us that feature exercises that ARE actually used and required for everyday drumming. The foundation of these tools are workable, no nonsense concepts. He doesn't spend entire hours on a practice pad executing ridiculous sticking crud which will never really be used in a practical situation. He never announces absolutes, nor any unrealistic expectations. I follow him now on Instagram and I've based a lot of my practice philosophy on him. Hes really good for me.
Brother you are such a humble person and a Monster of a player!!! What is there not to like about you? I'm willing to bet nothing. Much love and respect Brother and I would love to meet you sometime. I'm not a chop monster. Just mostly a time keeper trying to deepen my pocket and trying my best to become a much better player than I am now. I was self taught. I grew up jamming along with Vinyl records of all genres of music. But mostly R&B Mowtown, southern rock like the Steve Miller band. Fly like an eagle was my favorite song to play along with. I have played in every state on the exception of Hawaii and Las Vegas. I've played with and toured with a lot of Artists out of Nashville, TN and Have played in Japan and North and South Korea on a USO Tour. Anyways man take care of yourself and many blessings and thanks for sharing these awesome video's!!!
Rob this outstanding like the rest of your videos . I mean I watched a few other Latin groove videos with several rhythms which was a fantastic but a lot to digest .Your approach is to starting slow with the songo is a great introduction. Man I am in the book business as man you should think about a book!
Love your vids! You would love Isac Jamba. If you haven't seen him you will learn soooo much. some of the videos are in Portuguese, but pay attention and you'll be fine...lol Keep the Latin grooves comin!
Hello Mr Rob Brown. I live in Austria and I really enjoy watching your videos. I'm particularly interested in this video. Since I'm more of a beginner, I like to learn from notes. Could you be so kind as to put a sheet of music online for this exercise? With many THANKS - Günther
This was very informative. I like many drummers and percussion players, and among them includes Shelia E, and Walfredo Reyes Jr. I also saw Carlos Santana 5 times live, and the drumming and percussion in those concerts were amazing. Cheers, Rob! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️🇨🇦🥁
Was looking for the clave pattern. Wasn't until you sped it up that it started to come out. Folks, look up the clave to know what it's about. If you really want to get into Latin style, that's where it's at.
I would also say, to Latin-up that groove some more, especially at the peak of whatever song, add triples on the ride with the third partial on the bell
What up Rob! I'm a 1 month new drummer that's catching on quickly.. I think so. I can keep up with you on the practice pad with your double beat workouts until you get crazy 😀 When I start playing on the kit I'm so relaxed the sticks sometimes fly out of my hands. I play matched grip with my thumbs up knuckles down and it just feel right to me. I love the 5b's and don't plan on changing. Any tip on how to keep them in my hands?
I’ve played for 9 years and sometimes they still randomly fall out lol. It’s not common, sometimes I go months without doing it. Then sometimes I drop them 3 times in one song😂
Hi Rob , cool stuff thank you for uploading - is the bass drum on the ‘ah’ of 1 and then on the ‘e’s ? Sounds like its coming down the same time as the left hand ( which is playing the e’s and ah’s) ? - cheers 😎
rob is criminally under rated
TELL ‘em!…I mean…Thanks, man 😏🙂
Thanks Rob, this is going to be fun!
You can say that again !!!
Not to mention how humble he is. I love this drumming Brother and looking forward to meeting him one day!!!!
He’s the best

Percussion Logistics
That new snare is the bomb!
Songo is familiar to me, I always play it but since it’s rob, you just can’t skip a video even the ones made for beginners. Keep it up man. 🫶

Rob, you just brought the inspiration I needed for muy local music project I'm doing with my academy, Thanks for doing this!
Thanks for this. I really found it useful. Got it down pretty quickly and it opens up so many possible variations.
Great groove
Zack Albetta has a great video on latin styles, especially the distinction between afro-cuban and brazilian
Love your vids! You would love Isac Jamba. If you haven't seen him you will learn soooo much. some of the videos are in Portuguese, but pay attention and you'll be fine...lol Keep the Latin grooves comin!
Miami sound machine... Oh yes

As usual…….thanks Rob!
Great❤️ Thanks for putting it out there..🥁

Folks, look up the clave to know what it's about. If you really want to get into Latin style, that's where it's at.
I suggest playing Gerardo Ortiz the drums go crazy🔥🔥 "El Cholo" is awesome
I have that Syncopation book - from 1978!!
I would also say, to Latin-up that groove some more, especially at the peak of whatever song, add triples on the ride with the third partial on the bell
Mr Rob Brown can you do another video on Linear and Gospel chops it’s been a while
Come on Rob! I see you brother 👊🏾
Bombtastic
It would be helpful if you showed the music for these patterns, for those of us who learn easier by reading notes.
Oh... you're one of THOSE people...
@@Lupine. Lol it helps me study the rhythm rather than playing back the same section of a video over and over and over again.
@@V8Brah I'm by no means fluent in sight reading, but I do the same for picking out the rythm in GuitarPro tabs.
Had to tease out of envy.
love it, ❤
Rob Brown is No1..
Haha. Thanks man 👊🏽🙂
Gracias
I always wonder about cowbell stickings. I can’t seem to find the groove I’m looking for.
Great as always. What is the Name of the drumeo tune ?
What up Rob! I'm a 1 month new drummer that's catching on quickly.. I think so. I can keep up with you on the practice pad with your double beat workouts until you get crazy 😀 When I start playing on the kit I'm so relaxed the sticks sometimes fly out of my hands. I play matched grip with my thumbs up knuckles down and it just feel right to me. I love the 5b's and don't plan on changing. Any tip on how to keep them in my hands?
I’ve played for 9 years and sometimes they still randomly fall out lol. It’s not common, sometimes I go months without doing it. Then sometimes I drop them 3 times in one song😂
It mainly happens to me if I’m not paying attention, am not familiar with what I’m playing, or just holding them too too loosely
Hi Rob , cool stuff thank you for uploading - is the bass drum on the ‘ah’ of 1 and then on the ‘e’s ? Sounds like its coming down the same time as the left hand ( which is playing the e’s and ah’s) ? - cheers 😎
I wish I was Canadia to get lessons from him
But that snare drum….😍

Thanks for this breakdown, Rob! What IEMs are you currently using?
I use my Ultimate Ears UE7s on stage. Here, I’m using my TRI i4s
I'm gonna need 3 more brains for this one... :D
13:17 sounds like your intro lol 😂
It's that mic'd up rimshot
cannot click "like" enough ... THANKS
❤❤❤
👌😎🍻
How to play a latin groove. Learn Español. Learn to dance salsa. Play the maracas.
And don't forget to sing clave rhythm when practicing.
Stay sucka free with Beatdown!
They are moore ways to play it
I hear you man, but Reggae is equally sexy. :-)
You been "filling-out"? (Pun intended?) Or is that an effect of the nice beard?
First to watch….
This kind of lesson is expensive from where I am living.
Is this snoop dog??????
