"Highly recommend you count for all of this, but I'm not your Mum, I can't force you to." As a fellow drum teacher that sentence resonated SO HARD with me 😂😂
OH MY DAYS EMMA!! THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT 🔥🔥🔥🔥. I live playing D&B and Jungle beats, definitely going to give time this week to play this. Thank you Emma. As always, you pulled out an amazing tutorial video. You actually are the best ❤❤
Takes me back to when I first started collecting the Ultimate Breaks & Beats albums in 1986/87. If only I could get my kick drum pedal to do what I wanted it to, I'd be a very happy man! Thanks for the breakdown Emma.
This is excellent! I like that you went right into the lesson. Very clear very concise! I just wish you would have mentioned Clyde Stubblefield and the song Amen Brother.
Perfect! I just clicked subscribe and this pops up. I've been dying to come across a drum video on this break. Obviously the most important breakbeat of all time. 😂 At least for a junglist. Thank you!! 🙏🥁
-Day one of learning: hardly able to play bar 1/2 not to mention looping it..practicing that with counting for the next days Day two: just had little time but I managed to get the 3e+a loop a couple times Day three: finally I can play the whole thing through and it was almost instantly when I started the quick session. (Yesterday looping payed off I guess) I even managed to run though it with some speed but could not holt it for very long in a loop. So the daily update got annoying but I practiced every day for about 15min except Sundays. I’m now able to play all the bars but I’m having trouble looping it from bar 4 to the first bar again somehow..
Filth! 🤣Such an interesting word with paradoxical feelings. I'm a tennis lover / watcher too and Robbie Koenig (commentator) sometimes uses the line "Oooh that was filthy!" when someone plays an unexpectedly good and creative shot. Thanks for putting your work out there for us to use and learn (me 54 started drumming again after being inspired by James Hollis' "What matters most") - you're such an enjoyable "being' you. You remind A LOT of my daughter Nina who's sense of humor is impeccable 🤌 (that's a compliment to you).
Is it just me or does it sound like Emma is playing some additional notes at the end of bar 4 to make it loop around smoothly to bar 1 again? I got it all down at this point but it sounds shit when I’m done playing the last note of beat 4 in the 4th bar going over to the 1st in bar 1…someone help me pls :(
At first glance, probably! Do it as slow as you need to & when you feel like you've got it down at a slow speed, slowly increase the tempo & before you know it, you'll be playing it up to speed! ❤
Comes from a song called "Amen, Brother" by The Winstons, 1969. Here's couple interesting videos about it in more detail th-cam.com/video/LwOs4aM6upA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VEnVRV0nzN5atTw4 th-cam.com/video/5SaFTm2bcac/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kp9auLu7FT6XoI3I
In 4/4 time they are the counted number and an ‘and’ counted between each number, so “One-and-two-and-three-and-four-and” is a count of 8 notes in one measure (each count being exactly 1/8 of the entire measure).

Technically she could adopt all of us. But I guess that would not make my drumming any better. 😁
I would like to see her where a shirt that says "Who's you Mummy?"
Emma's scale of groovy drum grooves:
1. Good (head nod)
2. Delicious (chef's kiss gesture)
3. Filthy (super stank face)
Love it 😂
"Subvert expectation" that's the magic.

Just pretend I was quoting "Searching for my Rizla" by The Ratpack.
Gotta love that ending :) You drum sound is perfect for this, too. Very tight.

I love that you used Groove Scribe.
Thank you so much! ♥♥
She's an excellent teacher.
Love this groove ❤❤❤❤❤

What are 8 notes
In 4/4 time they are the counted number and an ‘and’ counted between each number, so “One-and-two-and-three-and-four-and” is a count of 8 notes in one measure (each count being exactly 1/8 of the entire measure).
