Swiss Army Triplet - Drum Lessons

[MikeMiheli]

Fantastic!



[danmatt44]

compare this "siwss army triplet" lesson to the EXPERTVILLAGE one. The expertvillage guy's snare sounded like a steel pan

[Crevaoo]

OMG, John Petrucci got bald and now he play the drums... LMAO

[99pokemonfan]

This guy's way of teaching people drum techniques and licks are better than Jared Falk's because he uses all of the techniques in a plain way, then a beat, then a fill!

[N14Kk]

@99pokemonfan Hate to disagree with you, but both work for the same company and this is the way rudiments were meant to be taught. It just so happens that the rudiment section fell under Lionel. Falk would've done it the same way. Both are great drummers and teachers and both have different styles. But it's cool to know that you have a preference. Maybe you'd learn more from this guy than from Jared, and if that's the case, watch all rudiment videos. They'll def. help you out a lot.

I feel like Swiss Army Triplets are just half a Flam Tap but the notes are just closer together. like swing Flam Taps almost. idk, its just how i think of them lol

[drummerKrullebol]

@ZebraBear88 The Swiss Army Triplet is played like rL l r - rL lr (or starting with right, of course) and the Flam Tap is played like rL l lR r rL l lR. There's a big difference! Check out pas.org/Learn/Rudiments/Rudime­ntsOnline.aspx for more :)

[baywatch0702]

It sounds like he's not playing to click. The hole thing sounds uneven and uneasy. Maybe the grace note is off?

[Redkillahh]

Wtf o.o I actually do these all the time, never even knew lmao. I remember months ago coming to this lesson and thinking how hard it was and giving up, wow, practice really does help <.<

[tenordrummercj]

its better to practice them both slow and fast because they will have diff techs. but once you have mastered the fast, use that tech on the slow. your left wrist is being torqued. You DON'T want that. loosen up you wrist and flow your arm with the down beat!

[harryrs]

When he plays it as a fill on the toms...remind anyone of anything?......It's the fill in QOTSA 'no one knows' i think? I'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong.

[udapud]

@harryrs It almost is. The no one knows fill is RLR-L so triplet then a dangled note after so 123 dead quick then the left hand slightly slower for the last note. i think its a whole half slower than the triplet notes. which i think yu would say as 1,2,3 e 4 where e isn't played.

But dave grohl playes it on two drums at one point. so the last note of the triplet and the long note at the end are played on the snare. while the first two notes of the triplet are on the high tom.

[x3xtacYx]

i thought a swiss army triplet was rL L R lR R L where rL and lR r right and left flams. or is that called sth else?

[ZackPomerleau]

@x3xtacYx I thought the same thing, too!

[steveraff01]

[jermainethefatty]

[zzman217]

I love how people come on here and try to tell this guy how he can play better when he is already better than all of you sad fucks..

[TipsAndTricksGuy]

@zzman217 Well Said!

[jordanjcm]

@zzman217 Yup, stooping to others level makes sense. Now you are equal with the people you insult. Good job !

[dumadave10]

thanks

[myfairvanity]

people on here tryin to give the man pointers. lol. it's not like he's gonna rock out on a rudiments vid. though i'd like to see this guy freestyle on that awesome set.

[stupidpablo1]

THANK YOU!

[IQuanaCentersnare]

right hand is pretty good, but you need to bounce the stick more with your left hand.

[xxxslayerxxx666]

he was demonstrating 2 forms of it, in the second one his right was low and left was high, take the time to observe a video much better before you criticize

[TribalStudios18]

if ur such a pro why are u in a "drum lessons" vid?

[IQuanaCentersnare]

try to play less with the arms, more with the wrist' (most needed at you left hand it moving to robotic ) thats why it sounds not that clean.

[666stallion666]

fair play to you you should make your own instructional i'd say you're unreal

[Ailmour19]

Yep and remember that the flam is the stroke before the main stroke, so if you are playing a flam on the one, the second beat hits the actual one, not the first.

[joyspring100]

Sehr schön dargestellt, kompetent und musikalisch, vielen Dank!

[AnthraxGoodybag]

is that a yamaha birch or maple?

[snw04]

good!

[fr47inni]

he def. rushes the left swisses

[crudemood]

the kit sounds very very nice

[raskrullestol]

I understand why this is FREEDRUMLESSONS...

[alonecats]

i dont, someone may explain?

[0kills]

i fink its cuz is only aplikabul to freedrumz

[stantiivan]

may i ask what are ghost notes and flams?

I am a drummer and still dont know what are they?

[Chogaar]

basically flams are a double handed stroke when u hit (usually) a tom with 2 hands almost at the same time but with a little delay on 1 hand.

The ghost note is usually an unaccented note played by your off hand (mainly used on the snare) basically between the down beats on the snare. To see a good example on ghost notes, check Jeff Porcaro's Rosanna shuffle and watch what his snare hand is doin. cu

[benny704]

in more simple terms

a flam is when you hit the drum with one hand, immediately followed by another

ghost notes are

unaccented note played by your off hand (mainly used on the snare) basically between the down beats on the snare

[cyberskelet0n]

Technically, they're called "grace notes."

They're only written out in flams, because notes between the down beats are just regular notes. Grace notes deal with dynamics, not just timing. Also, grace notes are played lower than unaccented notes.

[plopenstien]

the weird thing is i learnt myself how to do that fast before i even knew it was a rudiment so when i heard of it i was like oh that i can already di those

[guimadrum]

nice! Good production and very cool floor tom sound!!! =)

Congrats
