[ajejerulestheworld]

[smithy8u]

wow!

[dLimboStick]

Learning is always easier when the person teaching loves what they're doing. Your love for percussion jumps right off the screen at the viewer. Makes watching what could be a tedious lesson into a joyful learning experience.

[djsize7]

Damn... this guy speak through the drums!... so natural

[MrBlackincarnation]

GREAT

[axisdrummer24]

much respects, subbed

[tk5800]

constant motion (dream theater) :D 1:41

[kai3457]

thats pretty sick

[jojopl]

o.O

[UncleManwich]

I was listening to this while playing my guitar, all of sudden you started doing this awesome groove and it just hooked on to my funky guitar riff.

[0oPetethedrummero0]

Wow that sounds so sick in just a basic beat. Thanks for helping me pick this technique up. :)

[Johnny2hits]

Nice double stroke rolls. I have a lot of room for improvement on my double strokes. What did Bill Bruford say ? When in doubt, roll.

[LucaStamatescu]

I like how the camera's FPS can't take how fast he is drumming. Awesome teacher

[KattyCatt1]

Ever play in a band, Van? You should.

[disanto1139]

Wow!! Neil Peart is just for show biz. There really is a better drummer out there. Randy, you are just sick with the drum skills!!

[link470]

lol, awesome. I love how you play something totally sick and then go "that's not a great example but..."

Been a drummer taking lessons for 11 years and I love checkin' back on your content. You've got some great tips out there for cool quick ideas that can be thrown together and really make a difference and are tons of fun to just throw in and add some new dynamics. Thanks for your time in putting these up!

[iwimp1994]

Thats some good drumming!

[kuwaitijason]

Now that's funky!! Great Job!!

[chancletaswjeans]

damn ur freaking good

ima start watching this stuff more



[theSWclan]

this guy is always helpful, if i ever meet him im giving him a well deserved high five ;)

[mattdreads]

a pleasure to watch. your drumming comes so unbelievably natural, you were born to play man. thanks for your videos, I'm off to my set. ;)

[harveyb50]

I have a drum set and carn't do that yet but u r SO gd tb ;)

[MrBomo1234]

at 2.08 your bass sounds awesome! :)

[jamiequinlan]

randy i love you dude!!!!

[jamiequinlan]

love it! so simple, but sounds sick

[jkern7221]

personal note to RVP: anyone w/ any sense at all realizes that youre OBVIOUSLY not burned out from drug use. i personally think it would behoove you to remove his posts and ignore further sloppy attempts on your character. w/ that said, i dig your playing. =]

[jkern7221]

@robstailey -- just a thought...i mean, just going out on a limb here, i dont seem to recall subscribing to this video for details on the integrity of RVP's morals or what he chooses to do or not do in his free time. personally, i think you're a pathetic fuck for trying to slander him via COMMENTS ON YOUTUBE, for fuck's sake. if you have something to say about RVP's personal life, especially if you "know it to be true," then you would have the testicular fortitude to SAY IT TO HIS FACE.

[Ravingryan]

i'm just gonna close my mouth and stop drooling on my keyboard. You're amazing. I love the lessons. Very helpful!

[shutthehellup6666]

good technique ima try it great vid five stars

[Teamsleeper]

awesome.... but way too technical for me...

[ronadish1]

One eyebrow!

[MrMontavious1]

1:05-1:15 insane!

[systemofadownowns123]

2:10 onwards :D

[vansdrumming]

Never have and never will touch the crap. Ya ever have an itchy nose? RVP

[mloeffle]

And even if. Who cares what you do in your private life? You give fantastic lessons here and this is what matters.

I learn so much from the few minutes of video. You are doing such a great job. Big thank you for this.

[DaveDrumstick]

Just because you're an adict punk dosn't mean everyone else is, STFU, dickface...

[Nootherlove1]

some day someone will make an unsubstantiated comment about you. Lets see how you like it PUNK. Its people like you that mess up this world.

[Robstailey]

whoa thar, buddy! keep a safety on that caps lock, words like punk sure are hurtful!

really though, im not being a jerk im just saying what i know to be true.

[vansdrumming]

I would really like to know how you "know it to be true". I would never waste my life doing drugs. I'm not an idiot. Some people find it hard to believe that you can have enough passion for your music and what you do that you just are high on life. Try it sometime. My instrument's my drug! RVP

[norbs01]

@Robstailey Please go spend your time doing what you do and leave the ones who want to learn alone.

[gitchigoomi]

@Robstailey Stay off this guy's posts. He's a seriously respected musician that serious students look towards for guidance. No one needs or wants your bs rumor mongoring or other nonsense. Go post your remarks somewhere else.

[groovesyncopate]

i thought a 5 stroke roll was for singles? does it apply to both?

[1993drummerdude]

5 stroke through 17 stroke roll are ment as doulble stroke roll rudiments

So precise.

[cole2paul]

Randy, what hi-hats do you use? Or at least what are you using in this video?

[Joeskateapool]

time to go learn this here,fatty grooves,UH!!!

[ELVDMA14]

Hey Randy

you think you can make a lesson on the groove you did on 1:07?

[orphanedlars]

i use to make it before its really sounds good one the drums but your double stroke should be very clean to make it

thnx good lesson

[MrWheelworker]

Su rock hombre

[b34rd4dlov3r]

Batio is faster than Malmsteen.But Batio is so boring. Hey.....let's talk about drumming man.

[SilenceHCO]

Omg awesome I never thought of that o.o. Seriously thanks dude!

[deadassclownn]

you are like the michael angelo batio of drumming, but yours actually sounds good :)

[deathstringz]

are you saying that batio sounds bad??

[deadassclownn]

he's fast, but it has no feel to it, its just pointless shredding , shit basically

[deathstringz]

well can you do it??

[Rrrrobbo]

@deathstringz that's a shit excuse, i can't throw a banana over the empire state building but i wouldn't waste my life trying to learn how to do it, music is a language, the point is communication, not being the fastest at talking, speaking so fast no one can hear what you're saying, i LOVE guitarists like petrucci, malmsteen, michael romeo, blah blah blah but batio's stuff NEVER makes me go 'wow' regardless of how fast he can play

[mairava1996]

Are you retarded? shredding basically means playing fast (obviously) and it sounds good if u dont over-use it. He didn't "shred" one time. he might have in some videos because alot of people like to and have been playing 5+ years.

[lilvfr400boy]

if he isnt i am, only when playing on 4 guitar necks simultaniously though lol

[mairava1996]

batio the guitarist? hes good but u can understand yngwie better. batio sounds like garbage cause he shreds on the fat strings which sounds like garbage if u over do it.

[aceball69]

you are amazing

[theshoe124]

1:07 2:07 amazing

[poorhungryhobo8]

i love this guys =D

[blackmilo2]

awesome I am going to try learning this!

[circaman17]

randy, you fucking shred

[thisisunreal14]

thanks for the tip, man. That's nice.

[vansdrumming]

The website is back up and running for DVD and Download purchases.

vanzdrumming com

Thanks for your patients. RVP

[me8t4ec]

You spelled patience wrong, randy :P

[SLPK360]

not bad

great stuff.......but this guy needs to open up his doubles......they sound insanely forced

[mfyzal]

i use double stroke on hihat and ride to my song 'timurlistiwa'. beautiful sound effect check out the chorus ;)

[drdigital1]

Nice Lesson! 5*!!!

[Coolbeans1777]

1:50 to 2:06 is insane along with 1:08 the whole thing has a good feel to it cant wait to learn it

[adsyskapadsey]

What is being played at 1.08? It sounds like a different fill in this groove? Is it still 5stroke roll?

[rubynl]

no i believe it are 16ths on the hat

[F990]

some funky linear groove

[bergalicious08]

1:08 is nuts haha its so fast

[halodrumzrule004]

dam man thats awesome, ima go learn it right now lol

[uogf]

O_O

[zapatero39]

verry good, ill try it. are all ure cymbals Zildjian A?

[Deathlycream]

[godsmack412]

[ashort90]

Seriously mate, I got a lot of respect for your playing and style, your an inspiration. Great teacher too, very claer.

[musicpro26]

You're not human. You are a damn machine.

[killercyanide26]

@musicpro26 machines cant have passion for music like he can ;)

[ThemJazzyBeats]

@musicpro26 I dont think a machine could groove like this.

[xxbatman94xx]

I hate that shadow that makes you look lik u have a giant unibrow :b botherss mee :b

But freakin sweet beat dude! Ima start usin it :D

[der363]

that beat at 0:54 sounds like the beat from Dani California by RHCP.

[mrdudetoyourDAD]

dmn that's some hard ass stuff you play o.O need to get pracisingxD

[Drummerwithagroove]

You think you could post a randition of Neil Peart's O Baterista? lol

[jonnymental666]

What are you playing at 1:07? It sounds amazing I need to steal it ha ha!!

[bamktbam14]

all of your videos are helping me thnx

[xxkmanxx]

wow your good, i need to practice my rudiments more......When doing doubles do you use rebound or your fingers?

[vansdrumming]

Fingers. RVP

[ratedr31483]

Van You are the man . Thanks for all the tips.I hope I can get my rolls and rudements downlike you got it.Btw I might just have to buy the dvd out of respect for mooching off of here.

[vansdrumming]

vanzdrumming com

[teotius]

Hey, is your last tom on the upperside (to the right) triggered? or is it on shadow and it shows like it is triggered? sorry for bad explaniation.

[vansdrumming]

No triggers.

[sk8rforlife1]

You are king of the drumset.

[dolp9598]

Wow you're good, what's the small cymbal in the middle of your kit called??

[Drummer280793]

[poppyl90]

[headphonejackd]

[vansdrumming]

Thank you. RVP

vanzdrumming com

[chipmunkhippifest]

same!

[joevig]

hes good.... but how can a newbe learn from this guy? he does not break it down in a simple way....

[jammyjay2003]

Not every drummer is a 'newbe'.

[vansdrumming]

Once you learn a 5 stroke roll you can do this. It is pretty basic when done slowly. RVP

vanzdrumming com

[cleric252]

1:18 leaves me in awe cuz it sounds so cool....

[martbrodyl]

[Brandon187c]

[BobElDuderino]

[MyCatChuck]

[1993ja]

[Glitchezz]

[vansdrumming]

Thank you.

[EmilAhlback]

We all forget sometimes, don't we? He could've been reading that at 3am for all we know. Don't assume that he's being rude, and keep such comments like yours out of here.

[Glitchezz]

Stop dick riding him and trying to get in his good books you bait..

give it a rest

Thank you :)

[DoWorkAllDay37]

RVP is the man!

[atomicdog73]

Great stuff, keep up the good work, and btw, the drums sound good, you also know how to tune!

[hardcoreaild777]

It sounds terrible. Tried a lot of thins to fix it.

[vidboy26]

not really it gr8

[hardcoreaild777]

I have a question nothing to do with vid but my snare evertime I hit the head the beads or whatever on the bottom of the snare keep coming off. I tightened them soo many times over and over again and tried to figure out the problem just cant. Dont feel like going to store to ask. Takes too long.lol.Figured Id ask you.

[link0867]

hey hardcore, if all else fails, duct tape the snares onto the reso head, i do it anyway cuz it makes it sound good
