Listen to this man and learn, folks. Beatdown Brown isn't messing around, he's genuinely trying to help us. Much love to you and yours Rob
Absolutely! His videos have helped me tremendously practice and prepare for live gigs!
I practice regularly!
You taught us ‘why’ we should practice rudiments- this is key to effective teaching.
Your humour in delivery is BOSS. Thanks, keep ‘em comin’ 🤟🏾🤟🏾
Rob, when I first started drumming back in 1980, I had an instructor who had me go through the two classic books, told me to learn the rudiments, had me buy a metronome. Thing is, I didn't understand the value of rudiments; it was over my head. He had he explained to me that rudiments are the a, b, c's of the drumming language, then demonstrated how to move them around the kit, a light bulb would have gone off in my head. I took years off from drumming but only in the last few years have I discovered, joyfully, the importance of the rudiments in order to express ourselves on the kit! It's never too late. Thank you for this video lesson.
“I’m not afraid of a person who knows 10,000 kicks. But I am afraid of a person who knows one kick but practices it for 10,000 times” Bruce Lee
Triple drag flap jack changed my life tho bro , no cap fr fr
I’ve been drumming at my church for a few years and just listening to a few of your videos. I know I’m gonna make that breakthrough to the next level that has been very difficult. Thank you, brother.
I started playing drums at 10 and learned basic rudiments at that time. Sadly I was not taught how rudiments are applied and so I did little with them for years. Then, a few years ago I decided to revisit rudiments and began working with the paradiddle. I learned and practiced every permutation of the paradiddle and spent hours just playing paradiddles on practice pads, on my snare, on my kit, on my lap, on my dashboard in the car, on my bed while watching tv for months. In doing so I improved so many of my general drumming skills including my doubles, my timing, my subdivisions of beats, my fluidity, and general drum speed. In addition, it opened the door to many other avenues so I started to work on the 6-stroke roll next and began to practice it as I had the paradiddles. This process became like walking into an auditorium with many different doors to choose from all of which lead to more auditoriums filled with more doors to explore. More importantly, it has led me to a process of exploring and refining dum skills that have improved my drumming more in a few years than I had in the preceding decades.
Now, rudiment practice is a regular part of my drum practice and I never fail to see improvements in my drumming as a result. This old dog not only learned this new thing but it has made me a new drummer as a result and has greatly increased my enjoyment of drumming which is icing on the cake! :-)
Once again thank you Rob for another great lesson! ps. Flamuel L Jackson
😀😄I had a similar experience! Didn't 'get it' til I reached my late 50's but that's ok. I am having so much fun practicing nowadays! Enjoy!
Shared your CZcams with my 17 yr old son…I said “I like this guy!’ He texted back…"Yeah I like him too!” He'd already found ya!
Hahaha. Thas awesome 👊🏽
The pacing of your teaching would normally be enough for someone like me to be easily distracted, but you have a way of keeping your audience engaged in your pace. Appreciate the help!
This is one key element of learning, aside from lessons. How to read sheet drum music and bring it to the pad or kit.
Snare drum rudiments have been a staple like ramen noodles. Single rolls, buzz rolls up to 25 beats, paradiddles, flam, flam accent, flam tap.
All essential to combine the dynamics of backbeats and fills.
Never did I imagine having to learn to read sheet drum music, let alone all the rudiments.
Needless to say 6 months in and starting to combine those beats and fills. Magic.
"Sight read drums" is helpful to learn sheet drum music.
63 and each day is a new drum day. Never to old to swing the sticks. Keeps the wrists and fingers nimble.
Appreciate the video Rob!
Mr. Brown is my teacher. Just just started looking into drums. Shoot I bought sticks and I'm on a bucket and a computer mouse pad. Soon I will get an affordable kit. Thank you sir.
Gotta start somewhere, man👌🏽
Don't quit, brother.. keep that same energy!
Humble beginnings can go a long way
No joke, I started 40+ years ago with a pair of sticks and a bunch of hardback books arranged on the top of my dresser. Follow your passion and do what you can with what you've got!
Mouse mat, now that is a great idea.
Totally agree. I remember when i was young, first learning a simple paradiddle around the drumkit and realising how one simple rudiment can give you so many different sounds, fills, and chops. I love learning new rudiments to what different grooves and mechanics i can use around the kit
The development of mechanics is THE EXPLANATION for the exercises. As Prof Brown just said.. u do this and suddenly something else u were struggling on... just becomes easy and sensibly simple (if there is such a usage). So Amen to Prof Rob Brown again
OMG, you're cracking me up...
So many jokes..flamadoodle, Ramen noodle. Flamuel IIL Jackson. As always an inspiration.
Thanks Rob, you literally just made my whole day?
Rob this is spot on.. Jr. High instructor broke it down with a similar rational, Building the hand Mechanics and muscle memory means so much. One thing I didn't realize it really helped, writing and transcribing. Your percussive vocab is like any language, the more words and phrase you know the better you can express what you're trying to say or figure out what's being said.
Wise words. It took me a while to realise how your facilities improve subconsciously through understanding rudiments. There is a tendency at times by instructors to make rudiments intimidating. The key is to respect them, without fearing them.
Thanks for the 411 on every video. I'm 54yrs old. Only been at this 3yrs and I love the drums. The Gaddiments book by Steve Gadd you recommended. Awesome 👍
Yes, it’s not really about the pattern itself. It’s about the technique and the mechanics required to play it. Rudiments are basically all the possible techniques available to the drummer. And it’s it’s also the drummers vocabulary, the more words you know, the more you can say. But, before all that, it’s important to start with what many consider the “Real Rudiments” and the most important: the 4 main strokes. Which is the Full Stroke, Down Stroke, Up Stoke, Tap Stroke. One good routine would be to focus on 4 or 5 rudiments instead of 26, and just work with one rudiment from each of the rudiment families. Practice just one from the Single stroke family then one from the double strokes family, one from the paradiddle family, one from the flam family and then maybe work on your buzz roll. You don’t have to practice ever rudiment under the sun. Just practice the ones you think you might need. A mechanic or construction worker don’t have ever tool. They just have what they need to do the job. Dug the video, Rob👍
Nice flam combination! I love practicing flam rudiments, because the flam is a ghost note and an accent hitting at (approximately) the same time. That's a skill that totally translates to the kit. It helps with controlling internal dynamics, and is essential for funk drumming (as well as many other genres).
Once again Rob, you are right on the money with this lesson. I, too, have found how useful various rudiments and other sticking patterns can help you fly around the drums without thinking about it. And I love your new moniker: "Flamuel L. Jackson". Keep up the great work!
Love how informative you are 💯🥁
This is such an important point that's often overlooked. Thanks for covering this, and that's an absolutely wicked looking snare!
Just recently got myself a 12" pad and returning to the rudiments. The need for building mechanics is evident to me as I play and find my mind is clear with what I want to do, but the body doesn't always cooperate...this is what I intend to change. Thanks Rob! Always great stuff here!!
I started as a rudimental snare drummer at the age of 9. I learned all 26 rudiments and solos on the Arsenault record. I first heard Billy Cobham on my 11th birthday and figured his parts out right away as well as other drum parts. it opens up your mind.
Rudiments are our scales. They train us to learn the way we use our instrument to make music. Once we've learned how to make music with our instrument, we can apply the scales creatively to make even more music
What book did you get that from lol
@@sneakapeak40 Hahaha
Fluid Fills Follow From Fundamental Fluency
cool stuff like paradiddles can be good for fills too (do a paradiddle with right hand on floor tom and left hand on snare)
Great lesson/points. Thanks for inspiring and lifting us up!
Thanks! Such a great way to look at rudiments. Appreciate all of the great advice!
great lesson, thanks Rob..I enjoy your vid's and learn from them. Will practice this now and often
Just Wow! Thanks a lot for this video. I’m one of those who don’t practices the rudiments and now I understood why I can’t do much of things in the kit. Thank you again! More videos please.
Really good video, and the explanation of why we should practice rudiments. I'm looking foward to watching some more vids Famuel. I need these vids to keep me inspired, and motivated. Thanks
Love the channel, no BS.. find it easy to stay disciplined in my practice when I follow your exercises! 😊🥁🙏
I am literally binge watching so many of your beginner and basics videos right now as I’m only two weeks into teaching myself drums and I want to squash any bad habits before they start. I had not even considered rudiments but the next thing I buy is a practice pad. Your lessons and the way you deliver them are 100% engaging.
Agreed. Love Carter Buford's creative use of the 5 stroke roll.
Thanks for the great advice Rob, I definitely need to practice my rudiments more and you made it a lot more relevant for me!
Nice to see you again..!
@5:50 the example is beautiful - love that laid back / complex groove and feel.
Very helpful information here. Cheers, Rob! ✌️🥁
I am a believer in learning and practicing the rudiments and your explanation is absolutely on point . THANKS !
Another invaluable tip of wisdom Rob. Great appreciation for you my man.
Thank you for the great tips, youre talented!
You have opened my eyes thank you
Love your soul man. ❤️ Thank you for the videos! 🙏
I watch from time to time and always enjoy. 😁
Thanx man. Lookin forward to all your up coming stuff
Always in point and useful! Thank you so much as always Rob!
Thank you for the inspiration,Rob!
Rudiments are immensely helpful around the kit. I really just use them for snare/hihat fills because the drags and buzzes sound nice on them.
Knew about the importance of practicing rudiments before but still was not paying enough attention to this advice. Thank you for the reminder!
Thanks for another great lesson, Flammuel! My drumming skills continue to improve because of your guidance, brother.
Excellent, excellent advice!
Preach, brother! Preach!
Great breakdown and insight into the usefulness of learning rudiments!
I practice them everyday 👊👊
The feel and sound are mind blowing
I like playing metal and fast kinda punk rock but rob brings the basics to make me better! Thanks dude 💯
That is the reason! I couldn't agree more. Great lesson again!
OH Rob, I've been studying with your videos for years and you got me with this one. I LEARNED with the rudiments. I'm a professional musician, 67 years young and I'm back to my rudiments!!!! Thanks for reminding me! Thank you.
Thanks a bunch Rob! This video is another gem - great lesson! 👍👍
Rob I love your tips . Keep us smiling ..
Thanks a lot for the insight. Very much appreciated.
There's a lot of truth to that. I'm primarily a marching percussionist myself, but as I've been getting into set percussion I've noticed how a lot of the skills I use in my rudimental practice will translate over to the drum kit, especially when it comes to technique and maintaining a good quality of sound. Thanks for bringing this up, Rob. Really good point that not a lot of people take into consideration.
Now go practice your rudiments. 😉😊
100 percent right! Listen, learn and just do it!
Rudiments, Groove, Interaction. You get to it all. Excellent work again!
U are an excellent teacher...very good advice
What a cool exercise! ❤️🙏
Rob - Great point. I gotta break that drum groove down - that was pretty cool.
Thanks Mr. Beatdown. You have taught me so much! Great drummer, but an even better man.
Rob, invaluable tips as always dude! Saying which, when you played those rudiments on the drums its a great groove that I can relate to, though I get bored doin it on practice pad. 😢Thankyou brother! 🙏🏽
That was great a eye opener to better player and stick control too!
👽 Hey Rob, The Marcian from Puerto Rico here; just starting drummin''and just like you say maybe the rudiments won't be "actually played" but I noticed that when tackling new lessons the learning curve is flattening cause my hands are starting to glide with less effort; thanks bro...
Nice, man 👌🏽
Yes, Sir. Thank you for this - your demonstration of how these building blocks translate musically on the drums is highly motivating. Ruds' here we come.
Your comments were on fire in this video! You're absolutely right as well. WORK THOSE HANDS!
GL stones book and syncopation by Ted reed showed up today. The trick is to not get overwhelmed you don’t need to “master” all the rudiments. My plan is to get my singles, doubles, paradiddles and six strokes really solid while developing a good Moeller stroke. Oh how I wish I got a pad back when I started as a kid! And how I wish web 2 had the same amount of guidance and know how as it does today. I’m just picking up the sticks again at 30 after basically quitting for ten years and it feels like I’m starting from square one.
That's right. Thanks. Just got me a practice pad. I'll get better sooner or later. 👊
Thank you for introducing me to the flamadoodle. That one was new for me. It has seriously changed my life.
THANKS FOR THE TIPS IT'S ALWAYS TO GET NEW WAYS TO PRACTICE!!! RIGHT ON ON THE FLIP SIDE !!!! BROTHA !!! GOD LOVE
right on brother its about the mechanics and muscle memory. IF you practice your rudiments, you will have much greater flexibility AND creativity on your set as you will execute ideas from your head to your hands seamlessly.
Always love your stuff Rob!
I'm only saying this because I'd love your input and YES I can handle it. I DO NOT have a fragile ego. I'm a noob, but a passionate one. I've been making drum videos almost since I began and post them on here. I'm taking a shot by asking but I'd love ANY reply or input. If you can't...it's ok, I totally understand. I'll always be a student of yours.
Love you Rob!
Hey Beatdown…..i do practice my rudement daily….with some of your instructions while practicing i eventually noticed my mechanics came across the kits…seemed easier to go around the kit as well …thanks as always ….
That was funny Rob🤣. great stuff and yes they are important!
Rudiments vid. Spot on!
Always follow your lead my friend. Thanks Rob. Your pal and Ill always give it a go till I get it..
Ta Rob, o skhokho, You are the boss. Thanks for sharing this information. Very enlightening and now I am going to take on those rudiments that I have ignored thinking their not important.
If you really want to get not just a mechanical workout but also a mental workout might I suggest Jim Chapin's idea of expanding & collapsing rudiments or my favorite thing to do which is inverting, rearranging & moving the accent around.
For example, try accenting the first diddle in a paradiddle. Warning, it's gonna twist your mind a bit and make you feel like you never played a paradiddle before.
I also like playing them on the kit between hands & feet. Then combine rudiments to make interesting fills. Prolly the quickest & easiest way to come up w. new & fun fills to play and amaze your bandmates with! You can ever make up your own rudiments like the Flam-tap-a-diddle and struggle to gain control of your hands as the flail around like they're not attached to the rest of your body.
This all good stuff because you're learning new patterns and new complex mechanical movements that require focus unlike practicing all the other rudiments you maybe have practiced for years.
Just brilliant brother...
Great advice! Favorite rudiments so far: five-stroke roll followed by seven-stroke roll. It's total Zen.
You are GREAT!
Love that !
Good video, thanks !
Fantastic ⚙️🎼
Nice and respectable greetings from Argentina, Rob. Good video!
You are the MAN!
Hey Rob, love your channel, can you do a video on your snare drum sometime, sounds amazing!!
Thank you Brother
Another usable sensible FYI that I can say has me moving around my kit quicker & smoother
BEAT DOWN BROWN ALWAYS LUVIN U!
Great advice brother.
Excellent advice! It's surprising that this needs to be said aloud.
Right on!
