      @@JoshMerhar Most benefit have people (me included) that want to learn, because there's literally everything you want, so thank you for that. 😀 I'm sorry CZcams didn't exist at the time when I was starting to learn to play drums, because I didn't know what to practice and how to practice. But it's never too late😀

    Josh your chops are just amazing. Even though they’re just simple patterns and combinations of RLK with ghost notes, the way you execute them is mind blowing.

  • @DZNTZ
    @DZNTZ Před 4 lety +6

    Thanks, this is very helpful... I need to practice some powerful fills like this, and these patterns can be played in a million different variations. When improvising fills, I tend to go to the toms more and bass drum takes a backseat. So I’m weak in really beefy rock fills like this that are more kick heavy and also look flash! Bonhamesque!

  • @PezrulezHaakon
    @PezrulezHaakon Před 4 lety +4

    Definately love your vids. Right on point. Short and extremely dense. Unique way of teaching. You make some tasty sause 🤗
    After 30+ years of drumming, these (theoretical) simple concepts are still really hard (i.e impossible) for me to learn. One thing doing them on the snare, or same three sounds. But as soon at I hit something else, try to move it around, hearing another sound, it becomes blank. I've never seem to learn to do longer combinations as you showed, and never up to speed, or incorporated in music. 🙃

    • @DZNTZ
      @DZNTZ Před 4 lety +3

      I can tell you what I find very useful when it comes to learning a new fill or any new pattern - just SLOW IT DOWN. No matter how seemingly complicated, any pattern can be learned in slow motion, suuuuper sloooooow. You will have a moment where it clicks with you, and you own it. From there getting up to speed is just a matter of practice and time. Get it sounding tight at 10bpm if you have to, seriously. Don’t even think about speed until youve really got it sounding good. Once it sinks in, you can increase tempo pretty steadily.

  • @bubinga_basher
    @bubinga_basher Před 4 lety +1

    Great combos! When orchestrated, as you’ve shown, it makes for a nice short solo, or busy fill.

    May I inquire into how you developed this idea yourself? How did it come to you and what compelled you to share it?

    • @JoshMerhar
      @JoshMerhar  Před 4 lety +5

      One of my teachers at Berklee made me hip to the idea of permuting patterns to develop vocabulary on the drums, which is something covered in great detail in Gary Chaffee's books (highly recommended for super challenging material!). I started applying the same thinking to larger chunks and phrases, like the things demonstrated in this video. This process has helped me develop tons of chops and grooves over the years and I figured other drummers may find it as useful as I did!
