Good stuff

Thank you !! So much !!’

Great breakdown. I'm gonna work on this with my feet and push it to 32nd notes. 🎉

Thank you!!!

I’m trying to do the snare fills on Anna by the Beatles. Very tricky for me to get clean and I was told by a pro to practice these.

Super thanks

I just stumbled onto your page for the first time. This is some of the best drum instruction I've ever seen! Your emphasis on technique paves the way for superior execution of the patterns. Thank you for sharing. You have a new subscriber!

I think the most important point of the exercise is that it engages both hemispheres of the brain, and probably more. I paly violin, but studied drums in college, just because all the students agreed that Dean Krantz was one of the best instructors at the small Midwest LA school I attended. He however didn't teach me to count, and I play violin so it's difficult to do this with Lockjaw being a given. Anyway, I'm back on the snare and learning to count Out Loud for the first time, and although I can whip out the first 7 pages of Stick Control fairly well, yesterday I went back to page one and tried to count out loud. And boy did that mess me up. I realized that the verbal and spatial aspects of my mind were not in Sync. You know, I could always feel the Groove, pretty easily, but it was difficult to think or read ahead, so this exercise might be the Missing Link. Thanks! A question about counting measures, since Stick Control requires 20 reps. I found that it was easier to count the Reps at the end of the last measure on the 4th beat, like 4 e & 1, up to 4 e 20. I mean if you are counting beets, and beets are a Dollar a pound and the beets weigh roughly 1/4 of a pound a piece, How would you count those out if you wanted 20 pounds of Beets? Cheers, Jack

Finally I know what a diddle is!

Thankyou for explaining these techniques as I am just practicing on a pad and really could not see where it was going but now I understand

Source for exercise at 12:12 - Tom Float and the 1976 Oakland Crusaders Congrats on the interpretation of the 32nd after the 16ths bars 11 - 14. Most people don't leave the gap. Of course, sometimes you guys left a gap you could drive a truck through😎

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou really appreciate your lesson - just staring out and i'm a SlOW learner

U are amazing 👍

Thank you for the free lesson 🙏

How do you count 16th notes if you are at 110 BPM or faster? It starts becoming a blur and reading the notes are hard when there are 16th rests. Any advice or resources to help getting better at counting and reading complex rhythms? Thanks

Great lesson! I sent this to a friend of mine

Thanks. You have taught a very important lesson in a very easy to understand manner. Visual comparison was the key. 😊

Could you please show a single paradidlle…….TRADITIONAL GRIP !

Could you please show a single paradidlle…….TRADITIONAL GRIP !

Explain to your watchers why you choose to switch from matched grip to standard grip

Brand new student! LOVE these lessons, they help immensely

Thanks a lot

Hey Randall , really having trouble with single stroke , when I put the 2 hands together the rebound messes up . Any suggestions ?

Talking and talking only!!!! Cannot play exercises????

Great job and skills as a teacher!

My God, why so long time talking.....!!!! Play!!!!

You explain everything very well! I'm looking forward to checking out your online drumming school! Do you know when that might be?

Paradiddlle… maybe explain that out

Have you been watching Drumeo? I think they could all benefit by your lessons because I’ve asked the same questions since Dec.

So as you go faster and add the left hand what are you counting in your head 1,2,3,4 or 1e&a which I don’t think is the thing at 240+ so what is the rhythm in your head ? Really enjoying your lessons. Ty

I don’t understand. Because when you say and do not hitting a note

I am having problems with dotted quarter notes, with counting and playing them.

Talking talking

Thanks for this 🥁🙏🏻🙏🏻 Very Helpful ।।

Thanks, great teacher 👍

Great, thanks 😊

SHIIIITTTTT!!!!

Too much talk too long, why dont you just play the rudiment slowly & play it little bit faster, you are in elementary lesson

first

That's brilliant and imperative

Thank you sir.

This is cheating

My drum mentors were W.S Holland and Ronnie Tutt. Both are gone now.

I had learned to hold the sticks with my thumb on top, with fingers gripping the sides of the sticks. I was told that people that don’t hold the sticks in the traditional manor, were more than likely fallowing a marching drummer.

👍🔥🔥👍

Thank you s0 much. This video was extremely helpful

Great, I'm learning now, I'm 50 already , but I can't do double stroke yet , it takes forever to develop unfortunately, but I'll keep trying anyway, thanks!

Excellent!

Please iam indoor send yours notes book

Thank You very much sir such great lecture
