Ever felt like you're stuck in a rhythmic loop, endlessly practicing paradiddles without knowing how to unleash their full potential in your drumming? I get it - the struggle is real! But guess what? Your drumming journey is about to take a thrilling turn!
Here's the secret sauce: Singles, doubles, and paradiddles are the heartbeat of every drum groove. They're not just rudiments; they're the building blocks of your musical expression. Imagine transforming your paradiddle practice into a symphony of grooves that captivate audiences and elevate your drumming to new heights!
In my drumming philosophy, the single and double rudiments are the MVPs. Combine them, and voila - you've got the golden paradiddle! This isn't just a method; it's a mindset, a drumming philosophy that has shaped my unique style.

0:57 "I don't like to waste time on RU-vid". Are you the anti-Stephen Clark? I like his videos but his actual lesson never starts before the 7 or 8 minute mark.

@@eddievandongendrums Have the lights aimed at you diagonally, not full blast straight on. Look up a tutorial on the classic "main light, fill light and rim light" if you need a good starting point.
So RLK in 16ths = 16th note triplets? The reason I ask is at 5:30 you ask if we're ready for 16th note triplets. Isn't that what you talk about at 4:00?
@@drummermike5150 nope @peter is right here! Its groups of 3 in 16th notes, check out part 1 of this video! I was referring to a NEXT episode where I make groupings of 5 in sextuplets!
@@eddievandongendrums Got it, thanks guys. Just wanted to make sure I was understanding correctly. By the way, what is that trash crash you have there? Love the quick decay.

Chops, groupings, whatever you wanna call it, this is the way I look at it and learned it from my coaches, Benny, Jost, Mike. What mostly is missing is the basic explanation of this concept. Gospel chops, fills, groupings, its all just singles, doubles and a combination of this. We NEED a better framework instead of having the young drummers JUST copy some random stuff. I like to share the why, the how and show other drummers that it is actually super simple and you just need the framework. ;) So advanced version is gospel chops? In my opinion its all the same. I did not invent this, it is just a way of simplifying it for other drummers!
@@eddievandongendrums So to explain what I meant, chops is the simplest term to search on RU-vid and from there anyone interested in creating fills like this will then also learn about how to get better at paradiddles, how to incorporate them into the methods you’ve shown here and how to expand on them. Most of the stuff I’ve seen gets drummers practicing their paradiddles and then encouraging them to experiment once comfortable. Which is what you’re doing here as well, so it was a suggestion for more source material to see how these kinds of groupings can be incorporated into playing.
@@lvsselle very true my friend!! Apologies if my message came across a little edgy, that was not my intention!! Much love man! We’re spreading the same love for drums!
@@eddievandongendrums Yeah I’ve found once I started searching gospel chops, pages like yours started appearing and you see drummers like Eric Moore etc explaining how to start make fills more creative. It’s finding better ways to navigate the RU-vid algorithm.

I am very interested in seeing a snare groove section tutorial on a song called “in the river“ by Jesus Culture. I think the first fill you showed on the snare was similar to the snare groove in the song but I’m not sure. My brain can’t seem to grasp it and I can’t find a good break down on it anywhere. Thanks! P.S. great video!
Very well explained and shown at a tempo that's easy to understand and assimilate. Thanks so much for your generous teaching, it's an instant subscribe for me. One thing though, in your description... "If you struggle to improve your fills, THEN ... ", not "than" 😉
@@vladpadowicz5946 mate thank you SO much!! And thanks for the spelling mistake, man I struggle with that one ALL the time!!! I keep messing it up… Got the golden tip to avoid that mistake?
@@eddievandongendrums"Than" is used when comparing stuff, "louder than", "bigger than", "faster than", "rather than", etc. "Then" is related to time, "back then", "just then", "since then", "until then". "Then" answers the question of "when". "When did it happen? It happened then". "Then" is also used in conditional "if-then" statements like "if you want to play faster then start by practicing slower".
Congrats on delivering the information in a clear and concise matter! Also, thank you for not stretching the video to more than necessary! Looking forward to part 2!
