- I was watching this video of Nate Smith and he played this groove and it was just too dope not to learn. So for Episode 2 of W.T.P. we check out a groove by the living legend himself... Nate Smith.

The gentle placement of the snare into the trash bin 😂
Hahaha I just couldn't hurt my child come on now.

"1. You don't have Nate's Left hand
2. You don't have Nate's right hand
3. You are not Nate Smith"
This made my day 😂
You see, I also don't have either of his feet
@@bjorn_joseph I also don't have his cool Jackets....but at least I can try to buy those...
This is so cool watching you and your drumming grow and improve. You have came a long way. Keep it up. Also phenomenal job bringing down this groove. 👍🏽
あなたの向上心や探究心を見習います。
YO ERIC! Man, I'm just trying to be the best I can be. I'm excited for a lifetime of learning. We will probably NEVER be as good as we want to be because there is ALWAYS more to learn... Thanks for the kind words! Loving those soundcheck vids btw. You're a monster!
@@BrandonScottDrums May Eric Moree dedicate these words to you ... Wow, congratulations on your excellent work and thank you so much for doing so.
*come
Damn called out at 1:07! Guess I've got zero excuses 😲- Anyway, great breakdown
The 80/20 Drummer I had to 😂 Thanks Nate!
You heard the man, SCREW YOU NATE SMITH 🤣🤣🤣
Dude thank you so much for such an honest, clear, and illuminating video. I am always watching drum videos and everyone is always just showing off with all this crazy equipment, chops, etc. Your honesty and directness is much appreciated. This is the first drum video I have ever commented on and I’ve seen HUNDREDS. I’m a subscriber keep it up!
the intro to “Oh, Marion” from Paul Simons “One Trick Pony” has another great variation of this lick using a very comfortable sticking pattern. That “comfort” shows through a recording session so its important to understand what sounds smooth and tight for yourself. I definitely enjoy hearing your “RLR” variation! that would probably track the best in studio since it feels very smooth in comparison. Thats not a bad thing! no cheating was done here imo
Thanks for the breakdown! I love this vast world of perspective🌎
Good breakdown. 🙌🙌🙌 Love the way you do your videos with finesse and a sense of humor 😊
This is amazing. Thank you - keep making content broseph
Man you are already freaking awesome, thanks for sharing your skills and grooves!!!
Great vid, great demo! Nate's the man.
Nate got that from Gadd. Look up Gadd licks. It's not exact, but close
Toast Tee Good to know!!! Just proves that most licks get passed down through the generations.
Gadd, that's a funny way of spelling God.
t3hgir legendary comment
@@t3hgir HAHAHAHA this was epic.
and Gadd got it from Tony and Tony got it from Elvin inverted DS been played forevaa
I love Nate, he blow my mind. Great stuff Brandon ! Like it!
Nice work brandon! Thanks.. and thanks for the inspiration as well!
Very cool vid. Cool to hear/see your process of practicing (and nice to know there’s probably never going t o be a point where I’m not blown out of the water by other drummers). Ty for posting
Man this format is sick! Thanks dude
Great video thanks, love the humour & also you nailed it very well, cheers
Nice Kit and it sounds great Too!!!
AWESOME vid man, thank you for this
Brandon you are absolutely great. More Nate Smith videos would be much appreciated! Keep it up!!
Damn , this is so sick . Definitely learning this ! Thanks Brandon !
I Love Nate Smith and really dig this groove and the way you break it down and make it easier to learn! Thanks for the transciptions always super helpful! keep it up Brandon!
much respect bro!! u sounds amazing !!
This is tasty. Thank you for the break down!
Thanks very much for this dude. Been waiting for someone to break down some of Nate Smith's madness like this for ages. Also you sounded so clean playing it, big respect!
Thank you! Trying my best. He has such great feel. It's impossible to replicate haha
Your videos are dope man, love to see it
Great job, really appreciate how you broke it down with the sheet music.
Great video and breakdown! Nate Smith is in a league of his own but he’s inspiring the next generation and that’s great for everyone! Also you have a FANTASTIC Snare sound! Love it!
Cool vid. Yeah Nate is pretty amazing... And very inspirational.
great playing, super tight and great dynamic.
Ur great Brandon, thank you!
Pretty damned impressive drumming, actually. With the buildup I expected a fail but you actually have this.
you are the best maaaaan!!!!! keep the videos coming
Man you nailed that breakdown, don't beat yourself up, none of it is easy, Nate is one cool dude 😊
Awesome man! Thanks for breaking it down! Nates totally just bouncing on it like a shuffle, almost not even thinking about the technicals! Great work :)))
Very helpful. And great subject matter to use. Thanks.
So cool! Thanks for showing this groove to us =) Great job =)
That was SO good.
Thank you brandon I will be shedding this on my left foot every day now for the workout
so cool bro !! you sounds amazing :)
Very cool in how you broke that down into sections. I'm a pianist/keyboardist and I totally understood the approach. Great chops man.
Thx for this Video - Great Work!
lovely playing. great vid
Great lesson man! I knew he was stomping his hihat but could never figure out where to land it (or try to). Nuff chatter ... I'm giving this a go!
Hermano lo explicaste muy claro, thank you bro, so clearly your instructions to do that's groove. I got it.
As mentioned in a previous comment this is very close to a Gadd groove. You’ve done a great job. My suggestion to fellow drummers is to spend some time developing the inverted doubles. There’s a cool sticking called the Boston Lick I learned from a Mike Johnston video. It’s inverted doubles that switches lead hands.
RLLRRLLR LRRLLRRL Accents on the R and L before the doubles.
That is actually an AWESOME sticking pattern. For some reason whenever i play inverted doubles my feel goes out the window. This seems like a great exercise to get comfortable playing them off both hands. Thanks for sharing!
Nicely done!
been working on this for 2 weeks, gotten to 135bpm, using the hat then double right tap. great excerise and improved my hat control no end. great video thanks
WOW that was a cool break down...
cool stuff, buddy, thanxxx
Dude, I know this was made a while ago, but I just now got to it, and I want to thank you for doing what you're doing. This is awesome and really fun to actually feel like something Nate Smith does might actually be possible for me as well. :D
Awesome!!
"Whats up drumheads" I die xD Love ur vids Brandon!!!!
Very clean man
This video is amazing, thank you. And also damn you Nate Smith, you beautiful, beautiful bastard.
Great Brandon Scott !!!
more of these please. !
This video is freaking hilarious. And informative.
love nate smith, from the moment ive saw him on tiny desk!
thanks for ur effort of destructing his magic.
also:
I like ur editing skills. by far one of the advanced editors out there when it comes to drumchannel. not that its necessary. but its a nice touch, southing to the eye and it shows how much someone cares!
cheers from switzerland
Love your videos ❤️
You sound great man! You got it dialed 😎
Excellent study of a cool lick...thank you. I've been enjoying/finding easiest for me - (last 6 strokes) RLLRRK
Love this video
Great Vid, love your humbleness but your actually good / going well on the journey.
Good job!
Well presented and demonstrated man, first time seeing your page I dig it.
Nate is freaking asommeee,,,,,,thanks man!
Yes... He's a monster. a terrible monster.
Good job brother! 👍🏼
Excellent Brandon. I loved this one. Nate Smith is very groovy and his feel is very Bernard purdie/Steve Gadd like. That groove reminds me of the Steve Gadd "Flutter Lick." I have been obsessed with half time shuffles for quite a while now. The "John Bonham" shuffle Fool in the Rain, the "Jeff Porcaro" "Rosanna" Shuffle and the "Bernard Purdie" half time shuffle. I want to learn this "Nate Smith" one now too. Thanks for this video man. Rock On.
It's always a good day when you upload a new video, brother! Great stuff man
Thank you and thanks for watching!! :)
You actually nailed it.
THAT IS FIRE. Made me want to pick up the sticks for the first time in years
Awesome, going to work on this
fantastic!
Well made content and advise. Subscribed !
that groove on repeat all day!
Way to break it down, my man! I especially love the following features to this vid: 1) Your acknowledgement that we're not Nate Smith (which means that we should all LEARN it, then OWN it); 2) Your thorough and educated/prepared approach to breaking down the groove and what nuances make it so frickin' groovy; and 3) Your complete transparency that Nate is indeed a master at his craft and that the groove is super dope! BTW, I REALLY enjoyed seeing you demo a few alternatives (and I agree, #3 is the best IMHO). Well done, sir! You made a subscriber out of me. All the best!
-Jeff
Man, what an epic comment. Thank you SO much! I really love making these videos and just having fun with them. It's great to know people receive it well and hopefully gain something from them. Thanks so much for subscribing Jeff. Hope you enjoy future content and beyond! Happy Drumming!
Brandon Scott Anytime, my man. I love drumming and I love technology and one of the best reasons to be alive today IMO is that we get to blend them in this platform and bring even more people together sharing our knowledge and love for the craft. Seriously, keep it up! Also, I loved your video journal in Singapore. That is one of my all-time favorite places on the planet and I love that you had such a great experience there!
very good class
thx for this.
Thanks so much!
Some things are just made to not bother to even try. I'm never going to be able to make that journey to the finish line..
You, on the other hand do this really good 🤗
Nice work
Nates’ cool version of the Gadd ‘flutter’ lick.Nice.
I couldn't love this more, if I tried!!!
great job, I gotta go try this. on the 3 R's in a row, it sounds like Nate accents the 2nd and 3rd (shoulder of the stick) on the hat. As if the groove wasn't tough enough.
Man, every time you post a video im so hyped. Its really nice to see you around here again 🙌 any time you come to Argentina, you count with a home in Buenos Aires lol
luca panetta AHHH so glad you enjoy my content! It feels good to finally be posting a bit more. I want to try and keep the content flowing! Love making these vids. And YES!!! I’ve always wanted to visit South America!
ThaaaanxX dude !
GREAT LESSON!! im gonna try it out! Btw i really think You're bringing something new to the whole drum lesson thing on CZcams. Don't know what is.. But it's awesome!
Martin Klein Thank you so much!! I sure hope so.. there are SO many great drummers/teachers out there now I just hope I can help contribute to the drum community in some way. I love making these videos and I want to try to keep the learning experience informative yet fun. Thanks for watching! Tag me on Instagram if you learn it!!!
Great!
Nice video! Thanx for sharing. Keep it up!
I think for flam, that "together" not necessarily means unison, for those unfamiliar with the terms only.
Dude, You nailed it and brought the breakdown. Much appreciated, thank you very much. :)
I'm no expert and I'm by all means not criticising your video. But I have some thoughts on where my interests were and where you could harvest them.
As an amateur player, I would be much more interested in observing more of the mistakes and the general process of figuring out the groove.
People feel the grooves differently and studying other peoples thought process is probably the most valuable lessons out there, and those kinds videos are rare. (F.e. Nate Smith himself states that he doesn't count his beats. He tries to fit his groove into an unexplained predefined melody. That's interesting, right?)
Generally, people hide their mistakes more than they should. (Because the general population sees mistakes as failure, sadly)
Seeing talented people struggling with grooves and eventually figuring them out is pure gold to the amateur player and reminds them that the best are also very human. ;)
You’re 123 had me lmbo!
#4 we don’t have Nates’ brain.
* pray up.
The flam = dead flam by name...;) Great job man!!!
Thank you
Merci beaucoup !
First time watched. You got my sub. I've been practicing with metronome lately, 60-90 bpm, 2 bpm^ every 2 minutes, working out RF mostly, but found myself doing straight vs shuffle beats to break up monotony and to challenge myself. I'm going to check out your page!
thx ! going to work on this right now !
Make a video and tag me on Instagram! I wanna see!!
very nice
I could be wrong... But it's insane to think that we are all putting this much thought and breakdown into something nate just ripped one day and was like "that was dope, imma do that more"
Practice practice!
Yeah I think about this a lot when I spend a lot of time recreating improved guitar solo
You are wrong Daniel. Nobody just “rips” something. Nate, along with every other accomplished musician on the planet has spent thousands and thousands and thousands of hours practicing and messing up and practicing and messing up, ad nauseam.
We’re all just ppl bro. The only difference between each person is work ethic and focused dedication. That’s all.
God bless everyone! 😬
@@vinnyvidivici5930 what you said is same same, but different! But still same
Those 2 sixteen notes on kick is the hardest thing for me. Its hard to play them precisely. I now have something to work on! Thanks for the cool video :)
I've done my duty :) Thanks for watching!
Yeah. Subscribing. Wellllllllllll DONE!
