NIce tutorial. We are sharing with some beginning snares in our band.
Thank you so much for letting me know. I’m glad you find this helpful
Yassss
yes please i like the follow the yellow brick mnemonic please do that for all beginners like me
I’m glad that helps. I have a background as an elementary school teacher so I’ve learned that the stupider the mnemonic the better...
@@ScottishDrumLessons one I was told was " Black Cat sitting on a hot tin roof"
You should make a video about working with a metronome.
Great idea!
🙏💯
So slow he makes it doable.
Welcome back, I enjoy your lessons . Question : When watching marching band drummers they appear to be very physical with their sticks, is it fair to say that Scottish drumming is less physical and slightly softer for want of a better word? Hope this makes sense.
Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you’re finding these useful. Your question seems to be too much to answer in a reply in the comment section. But I think I know what you’re asking. I will add it to my list of videos to do in the future. Cheers!
this has likely been answered at some point but the main difference is generally a more heavy reliance of smaller muscle groups by scottish drummers as opposed to marching drummers who tend to use heavier wrist movements that produce a darker and heavier tone.

While you underscore the importance of keeping the rolls even--there is a slow build up or slow crescendo toward the end with a snap finish. You only hear this is Scottish drumming
The disclaimer on this channel, is that everything has "stuff" to learn prior to and following this video. All videos are a step in the middle. However, the best way to accomplish that crescendo you are referring to, is to start the roll with a very gentle buzz. That will set up the tone for the entire roll.
Hey Ed its Kirsten, hope your doing well and stsying safe. I've been doing great and working alot right now and working 7am-3pm and I also got a new SUV so I have now have high payments.
Glad to hear that you’re doing well!! 😊
ScottishDrumLessons Thank you, very much and hey I had Sherman off back in March before this whole thing started.
Thanks for the post ScottishDrumLessons - one follow up question. Why do you leave your left stick on / down?
I found that with beginners there’s a tendency to not finish the last buzz until the final tap. If you leave it down a bit longer it will help fill out the roll. Also I like to be more intentional when I lift it up. If you get in the habit of lifting it straight up you don’t always go to the next position where it’s needed in the most efficient manner. This is a later lesson. But it’s OK to leave it down a little bit extra long for now so you don’t build a habit of going the wrong direction after the roll. It slows you down the long run.
Hi! What is the best way to play at a tempo of 90 and above? When should we switch to quintuplets and 16ths?
To get the tempo up, the best way is to slowly increase the metronome one click at a time until you are comfortable at each step along the way. Don't try to rush your progress. And, I don't have a BPM for you for when you should switch the subdivision. But my general rule is that a faster tempo (based on your individual ability and experience) would need a 16th note subdivision like a 17 stroke roll. And a slower would need the sextuplet subdivision. I would rarely use different subdivision for this specific scenario. But a quintuplet could be used for an even slower tempo one beat roll. With the caveat that there are always exceptions... so..."It depends"
Can you do video about drags?
I will absolutely make another one. I have an earlier video from a few years ago. But I can make an updated one for sure.
