xD, he says come back on the & after hitting the crash, but he waits the & out and plays the 2. champ. that's good practice for when you're hitting far cymbals and aren't dependent on the hat in between
I like how at the ebd of this he stops talking, puts down his sticks,gets up an just wAalks away...woithout even saying somethin like, "Thanks for watching an i hope you learned something an enjoyed it" or something like that...what a doosh ending
@TomCatDrummer26 Take note of the description of the video. This was a small segment that didn't make the DVD cut. It was never really meant to broadcast. RVP
Hey Randy, I just discovered your tutorial videos on Youtube.
These are absolutely great, especially this vid because I'm a beginner.
I already spent a whole afternoon practicing and I still can't get enough of it.
Despite the English language it's not too hard for me to find out what you're actually trying to say. Thanks and greetinx from Amsterdam, The Netherlands!
because beginners like me need it lol im a little above begginer but i look at the advanced stuff and begginer stuff because u can learn from all of them
Randy you are THE MAN!!! (well, one of the many fine ones) LOL....but your explainations are right on the mark....a YouTube rarity. Just discovered your stuff this morning (4.30am)....wish I stumbled across your stuff earlier. Top notch!!
Real drummers don't use double kick? WTF? Who the hell are you to decide what a "real" drummer or percussionist is? All you are really saying is you can't play as well with your feet as you can with your hands. A lot of people hate on double bass because of the music it is used in, mostly metal. FACT: Jazz drummers used double bass first, metal guys made it popular, look it up. If you knew anything about playing, you'd know it's all about making your own music, having fun, double bass or not.

your good @ basics and timming .too bad you got sucked in to double kick. come on man....real drummers don't use double kick..f any1 wants 2 rave about Neal ( rush)..he's Not a "Drummer"..He's a percussionist..there's a diff..John Henry was a drummer! .. specific drumming for every song .you may be able to play what he plays, but never how he plays it.. your do'n a fine job!
.p.s.you look good, never mind about the bags.. once the hair goes, you have to realy on drumming to pick-up chicks.
dude..you just inspired me. lol very nice work. i just became interested in drumming, i think, 2 days ago and im totally ready to start goin' and your videos help alot!
Old guy? Wow... how old do you think I am? Ya know why I am sooo worn out looking is I shot this video on my own over a 20 hr period. I was beat. No pun intended. RVP
oh wow that is kinda tiring work..sorry about that..really am. but on a serious note your vids are quite helpful as i am a beginner myself \m/ keep rocking dude :)
You asked for it! You got it! Vanz Drumming Extreme Drum Set Techniques with Randy Van Patten is now available via Download! Full Size Hi-Res Quicktime Movies. Visit
thanks for all of your awesome videos. they have really helped me open up around the kit. just wondering what size is that Z Custom crash that you use here?
For those who might not know another way of counting out loud would be, 1abd, 2abd, etc. Versus, 1e&ah, 2e&ah, etc. Great videos Van, the best I've seen for drumming lessons.
That's how you count 16 notes verbally because they go by so fast. This way you know which note to hit the beat on & which ones not to. Count out 1abd, etc while clapping each number. Then clap out only the number & the d for example. Hope this helps.
can i download a file version of the dvd or do i have to order a cd version?im one of those drummers who have no timing but dont stop trying, every tutorial shoud be like this, clear, step by step and comprehensive, to many show offs waving thier sticks around, good stuff van the man..
