After almost 40 years of not playing drums and trying again my wife bought me a beautiful gretsch set for my birthday it's like starting over again it's not like getting on a bike and riding after you than off a bike for some years. Rob has the discipline and determination to help everybody who wants to play this instrument I Am very grateful to him and thank him and will continue watching him for inspiration and help Because as you get older you're not as agile as you used to be. I'm in my sixties and I want to play drums again and I am not going to let anything get in my way Thanks Rob
Don't let that woman get away!
I'm more agile than I used to be more of a matter of if just stop doing things and then do you like a cripple with no muscular development
Doing the same. 20 years. Kept a custom Pork Pie snare built in 1998. Just ordered parts to repair it and I’m on the road to recovery
hows it going so far?
@@Rmachine91 pretty good thanx again Rob
I just ordered my first sticks and practice pad. 51 year old 🤣😂
GIT IT 🤘🏽
Hello from Japan! 51, you're just a kid. My pad arrived yesterday and here I am ready to go at 71. Onegai shimasu, Rob-san.
You won't regret it. Good man.
rei maida that’s awesome to here, I hope you do well! You should post some videos of you playing for feedback :)
Been a guitar player 40yrs, picked up my first pair of sticks at 55 ,wish I'd done this earlier
"If you're having trouble doing this, maybe you should try guitar." You're killing me! lol.
lol
Lol, yah! And maybe consider bass?
I was about to turn off the video until he said just kidding. xD
Lol it's a good thing I play guitar
Coming from the guitar I found that hilarious.
I've drummed my entire life. Drum line, kit, band, jazz, all that. easily the most instructive video i've seen. Thank you my man. you, and i don't use this word lightly... are a GOAT.
I'm attempting to learn drums as a 30 yr old so this video has been the most helpful in starting. Thanks
no worries you'r not alone on that path ;)
Same 👍🏻
Wow look at us. Haha.
im 38 and just got my first e-drum kit today :)
@@Excalibure666 You should get ezdrummer if you can. It sounds better than any other the modules that come with electronic drums.
At age 50 plus, with over 90days in. Your video's have become an essential part of my new drum life. Thanks for all of your dedication to us learning to play later in life. Your a wonderful teacher.
Beatdown Brown, Im a professional drummer and your lessons are top notch even for a guy like myself....it is always great to go back to the basics and rebuild. Love it dude!
Aaron Dozier
That is the benefit of teaching stuff!
Exactly! Couldn't agree more.
Even Randy Rhoads when touring with Ozzy would go take a guitar lesson from some no-name someone who was local to the city they were in. That shows true class, willingness to learn, and a vision to a wide variety of skill.
Neil Peart never stopped taking lessons
@@psychochicken9535 Better to be a no name someone than to be a nobody!! Which is the truth I mean in music there are those who are no names that are professional players and then there are the amatures. If indeed Randy Rhoads did take a lesson from that type of player than I applaud him for that.
Hey Rob! I've been doing this exercise for years, and it really helped me a lot. That's why I was so excited when I saw you teaching it on this video. Now, what I did with the first half (single strokes) of the exercise is I broke it down to 4 parts:
1 measure of single strokes
1 measure of double strokes
1 measure of single strokes
1 measure of inverted double strokes... Then to the pattern.
Again, props to you BeatDown Brown!
From Palawan DrumLab, Philippines!
My drum weakness:
Drumming.
😂😂
Hey. Other than the hi-hat, the snare, the toms, the kick drum and the cymbals, I'm amazing!
😂😂😂😂💕
Exactly!
Rhythms like this feel like music to me. Most rudiments don't have a groove to hang out for very long. This is tremendous. Thank you. Subbed.
tis.
I’ve been a guitarist for 53 years, and decided I’m going to try something new. I subscribed, and I’m just going to work on the very first exercise only, and then try whatever you did next…. I’ll be happy to just play the first exercise smoothly!
Watching the close-up consistency of the height of the sticks is impressive. Such a consistent sound.
Most crucial part Rll-Rll-Rll-Rll-Paradiddle/Lrr-Lrr-Lrr-Lrr-Paradiddle
Rlrr Lrll
Yes, thank you very much. Seems the Sticking text is incomplete in the video
Yeah, this is what i was missing :-)
But what is paradiddle?
@@stefunkypunky116 Lrll (Big Letter for accent, hit harder here) and Rlrr. This is a paradiddle
@@florianinside5666 Thank you very much, pal :-)
I've been working on these for the last 2 weeks on my pad and I am really seeing a vast improvement in my left hand.
I'm in my zone at 120bpm for the moment up from 90bpm in the first week.
Thanx Rob. You are the best!
These rudiments are killer! 👍
."..maybe you should try guitar." Spoken like a true drummer. Great exercise Rob !
This is a great exercise. I have a similar one that I play when warming up.
8 note pattern RllRllrrLrrLrrll
Rob, one thing I'd like add as a suggestion to all who watched this video, these patterns you just showed us could also be played with feet. Maybe even at the same time as hands, in unison or with right hand lead and left foot lead for a challenge
Couldn't help thinking the same myself.
I do something similar. The rudiment on my hands while playing it half time with my feet. Rlrl rlrl (as 16ths) along with r l r l(as1/8ths). I straighten out to just a half time rlrl when playing the syncopated part. This is fun once you get to the paradiddles!
@Cheryl Graham Basically, take the first 5 exrecises in Stick control (includes single stroke right and then left lead and the the same with double strokes). When playing the right lead double stroke ie rr ll, play a rr ll half time with the feet. Basically, it is a variation on simon Phillips exercise where he plays a paradiddle in his hands and plays one half time with his feet at the same time. Change to a regular rl with the feet when playing the syncopated bit. I always like to use my feet while exerciseing my hands, so I am always looking for easy ways to keep them occupied while I practice my rudimants with my hands.
that would crack me up
Those are double stroke triplets
Absolutely love this exercise , kills 3 birds one stone , rudiments,accents and ghost notes ,,love it !!!!!
Hey Rob, I just starting taking drumming seriously, and your channel has been an amazing resource.
I think you manage to boil things down to the essence, a great teacher even from a screen! Thanks!
it sounds easy but the more you play it you realise how difficult it is to be completely even
Yess hehehe
We got another one boys
...and then many of your favourites are ruined
Love your videos...no fluff and wasted filler..just teaching to the point. Thank you.
Excellent lesson and advice, Rob. Instead of doing lots of different things just a little better, most of need to focus on doing fewer things *much* better.
People tell me I'm a terrible listener because I learn everything the hard way but I believe if you know what you're talkin about,,, and you are Dynamite amazing! The way you address things is killer I have learned a lot from you in a short. Of time thanks to your amazing teaching skills thanks Rob
This is THE BEST exercise I have seen on TH-cam - I am loving it. Practiced these a few times today - already improving. I find going back to the doubles after the syncopated section the most challenging - hard to relax enough to get a nice even double bounce after playing the accents.
Thank you!
As a newbie to drum playing. Only less than 3 months strong. Just like with Marcus Hawkins you to as well. Make learning how to play drums fun. I'm happy to have found you & thanks for everything im learning from you. I am so grateful. Be well & safe my friend. 👍☺
I had to learn paradiddles just to pick up the exercise. Mostly got it down but not at a blazing speed-enough for a white belt drummer. Going from straight alternating paradiddles to doubles with paradiddles is tough (at first, anyhow)!
Great video!
The best, most practical drum instructor on the web. The best!!!
8:00 - Exercise #1
10:00 - Exercise #2
12:10 - Exercise #3
thanks so much!
You are one of the few teachers who, when he explains technical things even of a certain level of difficulty, always manages to make music, very good indeed.
I'm 63 and been playing all my life. I never had the patience to really prefect my rudiments with the speed needed to apply to the kit. I'm going to get a practice pad and devote time daily to finally getting this down. I know it will really take my playing to the next level. Thanks for the inspiration Rob.
Thanks Rob. I'm a 50 yr old drummer getting back into playing after 30+ yrs away from the drums. You have helped me work on those VERY rusty basics I'd forgotten about. Much respect. Keep up the good work Sir
I still do your exercise with the Swiss army triplets at 120 in a 4 over 3 feel for 5 minutes.
For me, Rob, regarding the first exercise, is keeping the doubles low and even, especially where you alternate with the paradiddle to get to the other hand. Thanks, so much for putting the time in that you do for all of us.
Being a physical therapist and a drummer , I love that you are talking about posture. During your rudiments, try not to keep the forward head posture for too long looking down at the snare drum. This will strain the back of your neck and cause you to slump sit and strain your low back. Use your peripheral vision and tuck your chin to look at your hands. Thanks for all your hard work and education, keep it it up.
I experienced a similar situation in my late 50s. Hadn't played drums for 30 years, picked up a friends copy of Modern Drummer and decided to try playing again. Went nuts and bought a high end Mapex kit and started practicing. Down to a small 5 piece Yamaha kit now and still struggling to improve. Found Rob's website a few years ago and have been a follower ever since. Really tough to learn new things as you age but at least Rob makes it easy to comprehend. Love his no bull approach, sense of humour and his obvious love for what he does.
Thanks my drum instructor wants me to spend more time on double stroke roll, especially left hand.
I've been checking your videos sporadically and I find myself coming back... You leave me no other choice but to subscribe.
Love your stuff. Any chance you can do something on counting - not the same as timekeeping per se, but simply counting in your head while playing, as the 'noise' can get loud in my head. In particular, between 4-and & 1 I sometimes lose it, particularly with a fill. And yet this is where groove starts. My favourite drummer is Simon Phillips (Rob, you're no.1 educator by far) , who if you watch closely is always counting, and when it's 33/8 you know it's a skill that needs nailing.
I love this combo. I have been doing Rob-a-diddles non stop for two weeks, on my practice pad, steering wheel, desk. It’s fun on the kit to, using the bass drum as the metronome, playing it around the toms and snare, or playing metronome on Hi-hat, and Robadiddle on snare and kick
OMG, 4 days playing exercise #3, and I’ve already made more progress with my paradiddles than during 2 months just playing plain paradiddles
I played the drums for 8 years straight growing up did the whole jazz, marching band etc all thru school overall drum nerd after a 10 year break and not owning a single drum during that break now at 29 yrs old i just bought a new drumset binge watching drum videos on yt .. wish these vids existed in my early days there were very limited channels/tutorials/ content on drumming back then anyways this channel has become one if my fav alot of gems keep it up!
Continued This For about a Year Now. My Hand Speed and Control Have Changed. With a Little Bit Of Research I've Learned I PLAYED WRONG THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL! Coming Back To This Video With Good Technique Is Changing My Stroke COMPLETELY! My Sound Is Better, My b.p.m. is UP Significantly. My control on the kit along with fills across all genres have improved! Thank You Dr. Beatdown!
Cool exercise man. Once you get it down with your hands, you can also apply them to your feet.
I’ve been playing for a while. Your lessons are incredibly practical! And fun!
Thanks to you I conquered (okay, almost) the Purdy Shuffle, and these 3 rudiments have been awesome. I was working Dawson’s Rudimental Regiment, and use all the classic books from Morello to Chaffee to Plainfield...but Rob, you bring it right home, where I live, and play. Combing what you teach with my other studies has been immeasurably helpful! Thanks again.
Oh. Our little band opened for a much bigger band this Saturday, in front of 4,000 people, and studying what you’ve been teaching for a couple years...man, it really helped power me through the gig, with a little extra poise!
😎👍
I am taking your advice and am already increasing speed and comfort with stick control. THANKS for such simple, but useful, advice.
Straight outta the Book of Beatdown!
You have a gift Rob...demonstrating with an in-depth finesse of 'teaching' and not just -showing or 'do it like this' - style. Love the way you associate learning with BENEFITING..because that's the only way to instill perseverance and get better on the drums.
i love this exercise,is very good for my clumsy left hand,sorry my english.
Same thing for me ,
I dislocated my right shoulder so I'm getting over my injury and this will help me get back to playing the drums!!!
Thanks Rob!!!💪🏾
Man I'm digging this exercise!! Only a week in and I feel my coordination, speed, and dynamics improving. I'm incorporating this daily as part of my overall hand development working on doubles, singles, and diddles. Obsessed with my hands.
i never know when or how to use paradiddles in fills so this stuff is never useful for me. I never know how to incorporate it on the drums
67 years old been trying to play the drums for a few months now, I don’t understand why there’s more drum beats then there are beats on the click. Thank you.
3 Excellent exercises and dynamically put together!! Let's go Syncopation Congregation!! 👊 😎
Hey man, I'm a drummer of 30 years, and have to say thank you for your videos. I'm trying to woodshed, and relearn how to play properly, and most importantly, to a click track. I'm going through all of your videos and am trying to improve my drumming with all of this downtime. Really appreciate all your posts
Thanks, bro. I grew up on the drumline and I remember everyone wanted to be a drummer. They thought it was easy. And as we got older, I had all kinds of friends who grew up playing wind instruments who got themselves a kit and tried to become drummers. They thought their musical knowledge translated. It would be like me picking up a trumpet and knowing the fingerings of notes without developing the chops of your lips. You can't. All those hours and hours playing rudiments made you crazy as a youngster but you develop stick control and that is the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT skill a drummer has to have. And as you said in the video, you literally can build any grove up from just those 3 rudiments (singles, doubles, paradiddles). If you want to become a better drummer you only need four things. Sticks, a practice pad, a metronome, and a copy of "Stick Control". Run the drills till you can't anymore. Then do them again. Keep up the great work. And thanks for being an educator first. The kids see a "cool guy" like you and they think "I wanna play like Rob". It's extremely helpful to young drummers to hear an awesome drummer with great skills tell young drummers "You have to spend hours and hours running fundamentals and rudiments if you want to get better".
Thank you so much for this Rob. I'm just learning and got myself sticks and practice pad to develop my hands and sticking, get my brain working right before I even sit at a kit. I can already feel how much this is going to help because I know what I need to do, but my brain isn't working right yet.
Been playing for 40+ years. I bought a practice pad because of you. Now I see the things that need work.
been watching you for 2,5 years, you rock
I went from “how could this possibly help me” yesterday to getting 10 bpm faster today. I’m combining it with the towel-on-the-pad for the weaker hand there, lol. Amazing, very helpful channel, thank you
This is sooo difficult! I can do this exercise when I'm just listening to the click... But as soon as I'm counting out loud or following the click with my feet its becomes impossible.
This drummer is the best teacher.
That is a fantastic rudiments practice exercise, I like it sound and beats, I don't owe any drum sets, but I love to learn how to play drum, I have to start practice on pad and build some coordinate and technique for start, this sound has a great vibe to it...I'm Dig it!
Our son just turned 7 and your channel has been really helpful for him! I'm an electric guitar player but just picked up bass and drums to help and accompany/teach our son. Your lessons are fantastic
Bro we using the same sticks the fire grain promarks I love them
Mark Crisp gorgeous sticks! 5A’s!
I've been playing drums for 50 years. I started off at 7 with a pair of sticks and a practice pad and my cousin showed me the basic rudiments. I was hooked. These exercises are awesome and I still feel like a kid when learning new stuff. Keeping it fresh!
Thanks for this, Rob. One of my goals for this year is to become a better drummer. Part of my plan to execute this goal is to commit to a daily rudiment routine, which I've never really done.
I followed your advice from your previous video to focus solely on the single, double, and paradiddle. But I've struggled to put any real structure around it and I need something to keep it interesting. Hopefully, this does the trick.
Just curious, what metronome app are you using?
I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Played for about 21 hours per week when I first started at 16 for about a year and a half, then didn't pick it up again for about a decade. Lost a lot of speed in that time, but noticed I had bad habits to get that speed. Got a set a couple of years ago, but again started with the bad habits. I definitely wish I had a teacher like you back then. Currently working on your intermediate practices. I really like that these exercises have made me actually want to practice the right way. I will definitely be introducing these exercises to my daughter, who loves to play the drums, but just has the worst chops right now. She is 6 and has autism, so hopefully drums will be an outlet for her to be more expressive beyond words. Thank you for doing this. You gained a new subscriber. Cheers
My weakness: committing to fixing a problem once I realize it’s there. And soloing
Hey man thank you I'm a bass player by default. When I was a kid I asked my Dad for a set of drums but he being a bass told me that I shouldn't play drums because I would way be the last cat to leave the gig. So before he passed on he told my mother to make sure I got his bass so I had to play it. Now moving ahead 32 years and now 61. My wife just got me some drums🤪 I'm out of my mind Its like I just come out of the drum closet Lol. I dig what you just hip me to Thank you Bruh and now I have some hip stuff to practice. Peace and love. Alfonzo.
trust me folks....if you cant do THAT, DONT try a guitar.
😂😂😂
He shoots.... He scores!
Hahahaha!
Hahaha I'm pretty sure he was joking~
How about bass :)
Your videos more then ever helped shape my hands last year. I can’t thank your advice enough. I applied your experience and I am hell of a better drum
Another 30 year old starting after 25 years of guitar and your videos have single handedly made me a more solid drummer. Much appreciation for your continued content. This paradiddle exercise has helped me tighten up my LL so much. Thank you !
I'm 62 coming back to drumming after a long lay off, gigged in London in the 70s! So this is much appreciated great stuff.👍🏼😁🇬🇧🇺🇸 subbed
Welcome back to drumming👍
Thank you Rob! I admitted that I suck on my Drums and fail to do my rudiments
Love these drills! Thank you for showing the sticking, it makes this so much easier to practice.
Really appreciate this exercise…. Captures many disciplines without having to practice separate rudiments. Thank you Rob.
I thought the Flam should
have been included in the
"Must learn" rudiments.
Totally indeed, learn how to make a flam to never make it unintendedly, that's the way I see it
AnakinMSMP this is the first time I’ve heard someone else say this but this is exactly how I would describe it. Fast flams=fast single strokes because you can feel the difference between them.
Cool stuff for daily practice... thx for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍
Bro, I've been beating on the drums since I was a baby. But I kinda switched to Guitar when I was about 13 and it's been a good ride so far.. Lately, I'm more into studio stuff with my home Project studio and I find myself playing a lot of drums working on demo's and songwriting. It's safe to say, I love recording drums! But you're channel is such a god send. Exactly the type of content I need to make my recordings stronger. It all starts with the drums IMO.. Thanks for what you do man. The GOAT for youtube drumming tutorials!
Deep musicianship! Smoothness and more smoothness.
Since the 150 bpm was too fast for me to follow, as I am still learning, I have been decreasing the playback speed to 75% for the second repetition and do the 120 bpm at normal speed. It’s helping me focus on my sticking better.
I learned that it’s hard to hold on to the sticks eating Doritos while you practice. Just kidding I don’t practice.
😂😆
Doritos never betrays
I prefer Cheetos!
@@jrkrantz I'm more of a Sun Chips guy myself.
PirandelloKruger723 sour ranch guy myself
This is an awesome exercise. Playing the bass with the click gives it an cool feel. Hell it's endless
Thank You very much for taking the time to teach. I started out as a kid in a fife and drum corp and did alright. Then later on in my teens and twenties, I played in a small band (if you can call it that). What I recall is that my beat was nearly the same for each song. I also remember being a tense drummer, embarrassing. So, what I want to do at the age of 64 is start from scratch to see if I ever had it in me to be a decent drummer.
It is clear to me that I never really had a firm foundation to build up from. So with the help of great teachers such as yourself perhaps I can unlearn what does not serve the mission of being a decent player.
Thank you, for sharing your knowledge and skill.
I love these exercises! The longer I have been playing, the more I keep coming back to...singles...doubles....and diddles... almost any time I feel weakness... it is me realizing I made it another few years without having to fit a double on a particular beat with a particular hand...or something similar... it is....always one little adjustment... like getting used to landing on my left hand on the e of 2 or whatever... just some small simple thing I notice I have overlooked... exercises like this really help to rapidly break down the tiny little barriers between your hands and unlock all sorts of things you really can never imagine at first. Do these for ten years... you'll discover things....for ten straight years... simple, but limitless. Cheers man, thanks for sharing your craft!
* I will be scouring through your uploads now, but I want to ask: Do you have some similar exercises that you like for flams, and especially for NOT- Flams? Besides singles and doubles and diddles..diddle... it seems like a HUGE key to musical playing is being able to hit things cleanly, simultaneously with control...and flam with intention... A lot of the difference between a beginner and a pro stems from...just... being able to hit two things at the same time consistently
I am blind! Dial Chan so hard to learn how to play the drums!! The dynamics is my hardest part because I cannot see how close I am to the drums!! But I am learning more and more every day! Thank you so much you explain things for I can understand it
Oh man, I liked it. Your comment about the guitar made me laugh. I actually play guitar and started as a young teenager. Over years of playing off and on I felt I was missing something in my playing so I took up drums too. I felt I needed some rhythm or beat or timing foundation to my playing and performing. Plus I just had fun learning and stretching out my musical abilities. So I took some lessons and kept adding to my drum set/kit. Then again later in life I let the drums go. Dang. That was a mistake and now watching and listening to you makes me want to take it up again. A few years back I was performing/jamming on stage with guitar and when on stage I made sure I gave the drummer his or her dues to the audience. I told them why is it that the drummer is always hidden in the back and most of the time you can hardly see them. I said that ain’t right! So in a band all the members (lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass, keyboard, vocals, drummers, etc.) all play varying equal roles. When I was learning the drum rudiments I even taught my wife some basics. At work when she would talk to someone who happened to be a drummer she would tap out a paradiddle on her desk. It would blow them away and impress them. Cool huh? Love you drummers! We need each other. Thanks for the lesson bro!!!!!
Thanks for this lesson. I'm really building strength in these rudiments after a few days. I also added a round of triplets with the RLL/LRR pattern to my routine.
Admit and commit 👍
Thanks for the lesson on flow, great exercises, and thanks for putting the lesson together
Some extensions I mucked around with that also worked.....
1. left hand lead
2. invert the compound rudiment by playing the double first
3. Flam paradiddles, compound is then flam accent with 1/2 flam paradiddle at the end
Great lesson Rob Brown, thanks!!
Such a god damn supreme video Rob. This is the catch all tutorial that I've been lookin for dude. Bought your ' Caution! heavy grooves' hoodie. Quality shirts, supreme drummin', thank you sir. Much love.
Been playing these since the first lockdown in 2020, and I really got better in paradiddles and doubles. Great and fun exercise. Thanks!
Just what I need. Basic rudiments with interesting and mathematical twists to keep you alert and engaged. AKA, fun! Thanks bro
Thanks so much, Rob! Been playing for 62 years and these are some of the best exercises ever. You've got another subscriber here!
New viewer here. Just bought an Alesis Command X Mesh. Next purchase is practice pad! I’m retired but played in bands in my youth and I immediately subscribed and hit the notification bell. I wish I had access to your channel growing up. You are awesome!!
Rob you’re absolutely right I just got my 6 stroke roll down and up to speed and found that it was easier than a paradidle meaning up to speed. I found that it’s all about the motion and also found myself playing differently as you have stated in video. The smoothness and how I do my fills now it just happened!!!! Man can’t thank you enough I’ve learned so much from your tutorials!!! Would love to meet you one day so I can shake your hand brother, once again thank you.
Great exercise Rob. I havent really focused a ton on my hands since drum corps, 41 years ago, but getting my singles and paradiddles blazing will be great for my big band drumming. Thanks!
I started doing these exercises at 60 bpm with both hands and then feet (I play double bass). I'm up to 95 bpm now, so nowhere near my goal, but I'm already noticing improvements in my overall playing. Best exercise ever.
Great lesson. Started workin on this since February. Not quite there yet but I notice consideravle difference from performing this exercise.
I'm always impressed by your videos but I just checked out the comments... wow! They love you Rob, keep up the great work. I've never seen so many overwhelmingly positive comments, it's so much fun to see the diverse groups of people who flock to your videos. I've been playing (with) drums for over 10 years now, and I can barely do a paradiddle, not gonna lie. I'm in my 30's now, so it's time to GROW UP and glow up.
I’ve got the best audience in the world out here, man 🙂🙏🏽
I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!! What a fantastic teacher and person. ;). ❤
Rob after two years this is still a great practice exercise and after I finished I continue with paradiddle diddle then I follow with five stroke roll six then sevens then go to tens. with that rhythm after each.
Thanks Rob, great video! I don't understand why other peeps come here and try to give a better lesson (in their opinion). This is the lesson you gave, with reasons of your own. So pls guys, if it helps u then cool. . . . . .say thanks and check out Rob's other vids. If it's too easy to for you, thats also cool. . . . . .still say thanks and then move along if you choose to. But don't try to do another/better lesson in your comments, that's just disrespectful man. . . . . .then start your own channel. . . . . .right?
Anyway, great vid and excellent tips Rob! Thanks for taking the time to do all these vids.
