[R4ndomCrap]

something tells me you've drilled the 256 combinations at some point

[aassyr1111]

what about heel-toe.....if i want make double pedal stroke???? do you recommand me????

[MojigangaXBL]

haha

the "some more patterns?...YES!"

was funny

good job man, i dont have a drum set yet, but im learning with the game Rock Band and with my friends at school and their houses, so yea,

i want to play real drums, and your videos help a lot man

[chessoriginal]

oops i meant "heel down" on the previous comment

[chessoriginal]

hmm i was wondering are you using the heal down technique for the bass drum? im trying to figure out which one to use since my bass pedal is really "springy" for some reason and always rebounds more than once on the bass drum

[Bhudda777]

I play mostly heel up. It allows you to use more of the muscles in your leg. Heel down uses mostly the ankle.

[ricexboyx9229x]

love the text comments you have on the side

lol

would u recommend getting that electronic drum set you have?

im a beginner......

[Bhudda777]

I would definitely recommend that kit. It has worked great for me and is a lot of fun to play.

Thanks for the comment.

[ricexboyx9229x]

thx

[dranakan]

how much would a kit like that cost?

[Bhudda777]

I would definitely recommend that kit. It has worked great for me and is a lot of fun to play.

Thanks for the comment.

[dehhhhh]

oh man thx!! i've been following your video classes and they are helping me a lot!! great job, keep doing it =D

[XxSilverFinxX]

Is there a follow up to this vid?

[jakehr3]

i've just started the drums, and looked at other teachers, you are by far the best one. before you i was just playing what sounded good, but man there is a lot of counting and everything that i need to learn.

[Bhudda777]

As you get used to more patterns you start to "feel" more than you "count". Learn the counting and it will help your feel.

[SiimMa]

Good job!!

[j0gan]

run with it but not scissors. i have to remember that while drumming.

[zenithdave]

Top shelf man, im using your instructions on my daily practise and its working out well, please keep going with your lessons.

Respect

[speedbag1]

Man, you are an awesome teacher with great insight into developing limb independence. Definitely a great method of learning. Keeping it fairly simple and effective. Great dog in the background, too!

[sethvanek]

I like your approach.

Permutations!!

[Bhudda777]

That's the word.

[wesleyc288]

hey man....im just starting out on the drums. And I find your video's extremely helpful. Please continue making instructional videos.....your the best teacher ive found, and look forward to learning more from you

Thanks Alot

[cjdontthink2]

this lesson is really good

the only thing is

youre teaching it all wrong

your teaching it as quarter notes

when it should be 8th notes

message me if you dont understand

[Bhudda777]

I understand. I teach quarter notes first because they are easier for the beginner to understand and they can be subdivided into 16th notes later with the more advanced patterns.

It is not a matter of right or wrong. They can be written both ways, you just need to learn quarter notes before you can learn 8th notes.

[KimKim565]

Sabotage, if you have seen him play, he does NOT need lessons. He's not the biggest pro, but he CAN play, pretty good too.

Great job you have done, you really do know how to learn other people play :) Keep up the good work ;)

[sabotage1111]

do you really think you're that good? you should be taking lessons instead of giving them...

[21caz14]

that was a great way to explain everything. thanks a heap!

[composedby]

excellent!

[sjman409]

yeah because rock is played with bass on 1 and 3 and snare on 2 and 4 but you play the hi-hat on 8th notes so it sounds the same but your measures arent screwed up. Helps to know how to read music correctly when you are reading charts.

[Bhudda777]

I have read charts both ways. They are both "correct" according to the composer. I teach one measure phrases first (downbeat at the beginning, up beat on 3, the half-way point) then go into two-measure phrases and convert them to 8th note patterns with 16th note subdivisions, Years of teaching has taught me that this is the most effective approach.

[sjman409]

o that makes sense.

[sjman409]

those sound more like 8th notes with 16th notes in the middle

[emuhlig16]

u should really think abouat a job in teaching-excellent!

[rock8034]

Bro ur great keep!!!!!!!

[Shiftyp]

I've been working on the permutations finding it hard at first especially the + beats but slowly getting there, thanks loads! your really helpfull, is there going to be a 3rd tutorial video ? :] Thanks Again.

[PrviSet]
