Trippy Quarter Note Triplets [Drum Lesson] (Last video for a while...)
Otherwise basic patterns split between the snare and kick become kinda trippy when phrased as quarter note triplets.
This will be my last video for an undetermined amount of time! I have some other things happening in life and need a break from the content grind. I'll be back!

Gobs of vocabulary from one SIMPLE pattern [Drum Lesson]
Переглядів 15 тис.Рік тому
RLLRLLRL. It's made up of 3 little pieces that can be shuffled around to generate other patterns. Slap 'em around the drums, sub the kick in place of the right hand sometimes, and BAM! You got a lot of vocab to sift through. Apply this approach to practically any other pattern and BAM! You got even more vocab to sift through.

    I completely understand the mechanics but one of the things I find hardest is identifying the unevenness, and then connecting that with the cause to fix it. I always assume that the second note will be the quieter, and work on making it louder to ‘even’ it up but there comes a point where I know I don’t sound the same as a professional but can’t quite figure out why…

    Bravely done 🫡. The little finger loomed large in Sanford E. Moeller’s description of the proper grip ..”..the (r) stick is held almost entirely with the little finger.. Plate No. 7.” Thank you for highlighting it’s utility in such a succinct description.

    out of a lot of videos ive watched i think youre the only person so far whos actually described/shown how to grip and use the back 3 fingers to move the stick. everytime i watch videos on how to double stroke they just mention using your back 3 fingers but never go into detail how
