  • Seriously though, why are those hand-to-foot combos (RKLK RKLK) so hard?
    What's another seemingly innocuous exercise that turned out to be way harder than expected?

      Lmao! Omg, I used to have a guitarist that had a drinking and listening problem that wanted to be a drummer and he would tune my drums every single time he sat down. Even if he only got up for 10 minutes! Always had to tune them before playing and he kept braking my drum heads! Tuning them way too tight and then super loose over and over…
      To be fair, he broke strings every time we played too. He would do the same thing. Tune too often and go from standard tuning to super low djent style tuning and back to standard xD
      He was taking another substance besides alcohol that I won’t mention. So, I’m assuming all that energy made him unable to not do something with his hands.
      Unfortunately had to stop hanging out. I had a kid and couldn’t have him around anymore cause if that stuff.
      In the end though, I’m definitely glad my drum heads last months instead of days now!

    @whyhatestrangers Před 2 lety +12

    People who aren’t drummers should know: “Right, Kick, Left, Kick, Repeat” sounds awesome when played at high tempo, but it gets easier the faster you play it (to an extent), as long as you’ve practiced adding in the left foot on a double bass drum or double bass pedals, when it gets to a certain speed it becomes almost an automatic type motion that just happens. With enough practice.
    Oh sorry, my point was that I always found one handed rolls and gravity blast beats to be far and away from “not really that hard” by comparison.

    • @anga7292
      @anga7292 Před rokem +4

      One handed roll and gravity blast are clearly harder. Problem is they are associated with metal music, so you must say they're easy or you're a true american jazz drummer. The guy in the video struggled a lot learning one handed roll by the way. So it's even more funny.

      PR are eeeasy. just get the possible permutations (so for 3/4 it's 3) and make sure you know them and then make 1 limb the leading limb and the other just adding those 3 permutations. i'd say i could teach the basic 3/4 PR to anybody that's remotely interested in about 15-30 minutes. it will be slow and not yet a real beat or groove, granted, but that's the whole foundation done in a short period of time
