Great lesson man, i plan on getting my full kit (Peace Paragon) sometime next month so as for now i'm stuck practicing rudiments on a crappy £60 snare. I just wanted to ask you how long it took you to get hertas down on the drumset and/or what you need to learn pre-hand in order to understand them. And yes, i am a complete noob to drumming :P

[drummin4christ19]

thanks man. nice, thats cool. ouch, you should invest in a practice pad to develop rudiments on. much quieter and more portable and you can hear mistakes better on them.  it takes awhile, you just have to master them on the pad first. break down what each hand is doing and work them up to speed with a metronome, then just try spreading them around different surfaces of your kit

well i can definately tell you're in marching band rudiment machine. but seriously great lesson and hertas are definately one of my favorites. way up there with the swiss trips

[drummin4christ19]

hah cool thankss. but thanks man and me too, i love hertas. flam drags are really fun too. and most hybrids are cool

[buccsvortex19]

Yeah dude, Hertas sound sick while playing. I just started using them. But they have got some real good fill use.

[drummin4christ19]

yeah dude i agree they are sick. nice, keep it up and you'll get some great sounding fills

cool -nice chops!

[carlleitem]

awesome technique man. you're really good.

[xymbalreborn]

NICE! 1:09 - sticks in! Try adding 2 on your basses between the herta fills on your toms. Makes for an interesting fill.

I think the drum groove in Achilles Last Stand by Led Zeppelin is a herta. It is kind of a galloping groove with a lot of John Bonham's right foot.

[aleczander1134206]

yup thats right its one thing to use ur hands but ur feet now thats sweet

@YouSpamTard once again, go back and read my comment on the big three. Think of this, isnt dynamics and accent the same thing, if you think about it? Drums have pitch. Drums make melody the same as any musical instrument. Any two sounds or more made with anything in this world is a melody. The Herta is a rhythm manipulation that works the same way a melody does, or accent does. All three, rhythm, pitch and accent are all the same thing because music is just one thing. I know it sounds bizarre,
