My drum teacher was always about concepts and plans instead of isolated fills or grooves. We tried to put something together ourselves as there was such a massive hole in materials offered to actually turning these bits and pieces into useful and musical tools. It unfortunately never went beyond loose sheets of papers, but this is exactly the type of thing we thought was the way to go. Really really cool to see someone putting the work in and explaining it so clearly. Keep up the great work! It's rare to find that combination of great drummer, great teacher, and someone that takes the time to make this sort of thing. The fact that you put this amazing lesson online for free also speaks volumes. Thanks a lot!
I really appreciate this. I'm glad to hear we're on the same page.
I've always loved your playing and teaching. I often come back to your videos for new inspiration/ideas, and you never disappoint me. Super video as always, JP!
Thanks for tuning in over the years. It means a lot.
This is brilliant man, I am mostly self taught and sometimes a bit mystified about how people develop their rudimentary vocabulary but I can actually digest this. I am going to persevere with imitating every permutation you demonstrate here.
Everytime you teach a concept you make everyones head explode just by watching
Exactly !!! Lol
Another killer lesson! Love from the Philippines! 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Man !!! The more that I get into your teaching I'm overwhelmed cause I don't think that I will live enough to master all of it. For example today's lesson, it's incredible how a simple concept can give us so many things to try to explore. Well done !!!
This is very intuitive and useful. Thanks man 👍👍
Everytime I watch a JP video I feel like my mind gets rearranged on the way I approach the drums, you can't ask more from a teacher🔥
Excellent forward thinking as always . Thanks .
I understand every concept but to be able to apply it at speed without thinking is going to take a looonnngggg time
Thank you! It’s a lifelong journey. The nice thing about the “approach” over the “pattern” is that it ages well with you throughout that journey
Hey JP, in my opinion your lessons are pure gold and the concepts can help every drummer to get more freedom and creativity. Amazing, thanks for sharing! All the best for you!
Love all your stuff!
Good stuff, i wanted to bring up something I got into in the early seventies that is semi related to this. You can do this with any tune for ideas. Take a standard like Stella by Starlight or whatever. Since the phrasing and slot is basically in triplets, play the melody as triplets (real book reading). Anything that is not the melody is the ghost notes of the triplet 1, la, le, 2, la le... or 1, ta la ta le, ta for sixteenth note triplets. etc.. So lets say you have two swung 8ths so that is just "1", "le" but you play the "la" as a ghost note. so you could do the "1" and "le" on toms and possibly the ghost "la" on your snare or your hi hat or whatever as an example. Its a great way to learn to play melodic drum solos, you end up voicing them however on the kit and you end up getting ideas (rhythmic and otherwise) for everything you do while in this style. after awhile you will be scatting all this stuff to yourself when your soloing making up your own stuff. This can be done with straight time music as well. Anyway, something fun to do that is good for your reading and your vocabulary. This concept can be used in zillions of ways making up all kinds of stuff from this concept, answer and response etc. Great way to outline a tune on our first chorus too of whatever tune your playing.
You just unlocked something in my brain sir.
Sometimes that’s all it takes
So glad I stumbled onto this. This is very high quality teaching in every respect! Your approach is having the intended effect on me, at least! Based on just this video alone, I am going to trial the paid lessons/content on your site with the intention of purchasing longer-term.
I've watched probably thousands of CZcams videos on this topic but rarely do I find anything approximating its quality.
Thank you, and kudos to you.
I really appreciate the kind words. Welcome to the site! That’s where the real deep stuff is. Looking forward to working together.
Ahhh so freaking amazing approach
I’ve been at that point of struggling with using rudiments on the kit instead of just a practice pad and after spending an hour on the kit with that Paradiddle part you explained I was having a much easier time exploring the kit with the Paradiddle. This is the best explanation of getting flow around the kit with simple rudiments. Excellent job man… we should honestly be paying for this master class 😅😅 you should definitely set up a course or something!
Never mind 😂 found your website! I’m glad you’re having success man. Let’s get this channel to 100k!
You’re too kind. And yes indeed! 100k here we come. Thanks for your support
this has changed everything for me as a soloist.
Great way to change the way we approach these old rudes... very slick. Thanks JP... stoked!!!
Aw man...found this just before going to bed. Gonna watch the s**t out of it tomorrow, gotta have a focused mind. Thank you for your knowledge!
Dude!! This is so powerful... No kidding I have been playing for looots of years and feeling stuck in improv. This unlocked some potential that was already there. Seriously thank you. I had fun practicing this like I haven't for a long time ☺️🙌🙏❤️
amazing video
JP delivering the goods yet again
Dude you opened me brain up thank you for posting this
Hands down the best way I’ve heard someone teach/break down the Blushda :) great lesson! Thanks
Something i neglected to say you can do to is to play in the space but not on the melody, harder but can come up with stuff as answers to the melodies, harder but can come up with your own stuff this way. Enjoy.
I very much value memorization, material on which to meditate; but it’s only effective with an understanding of concepts that are taught as well as this !!!!!!! Bravooo
Big long time fan here...great to see you bringing this content to youtube. Subbed and watching! Great stuff JP!
man your lessons have been extremely beneficial for me expressing myself!! ESPECIALLY in triplet feels, thank you so much!!
Nice! Triplets are the untapped potential of most people’s playing. Glad you’re thriving!
Excelente hermano
Fantastic. Reminds me of how Konnakol is performed in Indian rhythms. Such beautiful flow...
J. P !!! You are amazing!! Thank you for such valuable concepts shared. ❤
You are so welcome!
Very consize and eloquent presentation of material...kudos to you sir...
Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant lesson.
A masterclass on how to comp and solo over bossanova/straight tunes would be helpful. I find it’s something I struggle with compared to swing tunes
Its been really great and helpful and mostly definitely lots of fun and challenging. Thanks for the help.
INNOVATIVE!
Excellent! Lots to unpack here.
Thank you!
We need more play along. Like you do on drumeo
awesome! never thought about it like this. will try this out for sure 🥁 thank you~
Love it JP💪👏from Philippines.
Such a great lesson!! Thanks for sharing this JP. Already helping my double bass improvisation
Super fun! Thank you JP 🖤
❤ nice 👍. Upped the visuals.
Very cool and useful, thanks!
Awesome!
You could change your Headline to : How to create flow on a Drumset ....greets from Germany.... nice content hats off
Beautiful lesson ❤ Thank you very much! Big fan!
thank you❤
Top!
Very nice!
Because it's kinda choppy, it remind me a bit of Chris Coleman (I hope this is the way he spells his name), but if you prelude the groupings a bit smoother and you just play the base drum naturally, instead of in a pattern way... you would sound more like Steve Smith.
Can you please tell me what hi hats and snare are you playing.
They sound good!
What a brilliant approach! Is this the 'master key'? 😊
This is just one of the keys for your keychain! This is one approach, but there are others that you'll use in different situations, and then you move between approaches. A different approach to this is the "Unfolding Melody Approach," which uses things like my Down-Up Method. I taught a short version of this in my "Flow Foundation Masterclass" on CZcams (you can search it), but it is covered in-depth in my "Rhythmic Vocabulary Course" on my website.

I've subscribed. I will look at your website and bookmark it. I'm in the middle of a full house refurb at the moment, but when I get my kit set up again I'll go to your course. Thanks again!
Bro why didn’t you teach me this twenty years ago. So sick
You just taught me something new holly shit dude. Thanks wow!! 😮😮
I would love to learn to better understand how to shift the snare beats around within grooves like Matt Garstka
I can never guess where it’s going to be but it always sounds in place anyways
@jpbouvet If I take the RLLK lesson, for example, what is necessary to know before I start to study with you?
I didn't knew Frank Zappa was still alive
The para stutter at 8:18 with that Smile..oopsi 😂
Damn!! That ending! Wow!
Man you got all the tasty stuff! Very nice thank you so much!
Definitely fun stuff! I don't think people realise they sound like what they practice! And hence this sounds great!
Is this what Dana Hawkins does?
I can't say what Dana Hawkins is thinking necessarily, but I would say most drummers who can improvise freely on the kit use some version of this. I assume that this approach is actually very common, but not often deconstructed and taught.
Thx millions! I’m practicing/listening to Alan Holdsworth(RIP).The bass player has works w/Dana. I can see they divide or play what you do on the snare on ride cymbal & snare to get those extended patterns. I learned to play me feet like my hands so all the rudiments I do w/my hands can do w/feet(heel & toe) I also use 4 hi hats(2 remain closed,Gibraltar X-hats keeps clean sound while doing foot patterns) you mentioned Swiss Triplets… I do those & make them alternate by putting a single stroke either the 1st stroke or last stroke… yes w/feet. You just opened up countless possibilities! Can’t thank you enough!
fantastic, simple, musical. So much content is complex pattern memorization. Not very helpful to develop overall rhythmic musical confidence.
He literally just showed you a bunch on patterns
I guess you missed the extensive discussion explanation and breakdown of every single one of those patterns
@@TheGhostNotePodcast you must’ve been watching a different video bud. I do miss the time I wasted watching this crap video. That’s for sure.
Topic that I'd like covered: chart reading.
Talk about a neglected skill.
Lame video ,,
Sure, give us your method and show us your chops so we may be astounded !
