4800 DOUBLE STROKES!! - 20 Minute Workout w/ Beatdown Brown 

oh man I am enjoying this exercise SO MUCH! I also LOVE the fact you sit through it and narrate it wisely. You are onto something here, man. I have been doing this exercise for a week, every day, starting the double with my WEAKER hand and tapping my weaker foot (left, in my case) The difference is noticeable in matter of minutes, y'all! Can't wait to see what happens in a few months! Woo-hoo!! :) Cheers, Rob, keep 'em coming! Matt, Montenegro

Anyone else who’s doing this as a routine, sess starts at 2:45 😎😎😎

Rob is a great teacher-so natural and unpretentious...

Rob, I love you guy. I stopped playing years ago on a regular basis. I am 62 years young and you are inspiring me to be the best that I can. You are a blessing and I got to support you.

Thanks man! Im an 8th Grade trying for snare in the drum line next year and u have no idea how much this helped me. My doubles sound so clean! Wish me luck in my audition!

These rudimental work outs are the best drum clips on the web - huge shout to you Rob - legend.

I've been playing drums for 25+ years and i'm gonna join you for this journey because as far as practice goes, none of us are ever done and this looks like fun :) Ps. Love the click!

So, I’m an old self taught drummer who recently decided to get back into it. Beat Down Brown’s simple way of breaking down the essentials that I’ve never been taught has been a huge value to me. He is by far my favorite channel on drumming. I have made tremendous progress so far, and I can’t wait to see where this goes. Beat Down, you have inspired me to dust off the old kit and get at it. Thank you sir!!!

Tried to hang for the whole 20… me too I’m 72 and relearning EVERYTHING! You are terrific mr b. Thanks so so much! I’ll keep checking in and hope to finally find that relaxed space you mentioned!

Rob, I must tell you that this was one of the most effective exercises for me. I have struggled with my long rolls (doubles) for a long time. Although I practice a lot, the struggle persisted. (I practice more for physical and mental therapy, I am closer to 80 than 70, and have rare occasion to perform. Most of my drumming over the last 60+ years has been with fife & drum corps. But, when I can, I love to work on my set-drumming). My variation of your exercise is that I do it at 120 bpm for about 10 - 15 minutes with a pair of Cooperman Parley rosewood sticks (100 grams + each). Then another 10 minutes or so with a pair hickory 3S style sticks at the 120 bpm. Staying with these sticks, and for about ten minutes each tempo change, increase up to 140 bpm then 150 bpm. I sometimes end the practice session doing about ten minutes with a pair of set-drumming sticks, maybe 5B’s? Thank you for your videos - I believe they are great. Also, I received your ‘Traditional’ T-shirt, which I had ordered before you change back to matched grip! Probably a good decision on your part. But you really looked cool playing traditional. -Joe

That was brilliant, quite a challenge after 11mins but managed to finish. Yay me, yay you!

Love this exercise Rob, but I had trouble keeping up at 9:40 bc I was laughing as you did what sounded like Bill Murray from Caddy Shack (Carl Spackler) bragging that he can play to a faster tempo. Rob's reply...We're proud of ya, I'm sure the ladies love you. lmao!! Almost dropped my sticks.

This exercise has been great for my doubles but recently I've been applying the same twenty minute workout to other rudiments such as single stroke roll and single paradiddle, changing the dynamics when you call for it. REALLY noticed a difference bringing that single paradiddle down to level two. HOT DAMN!!

Rob Brown truly is the best drum teacher on the internet. If everyone was like him, we could solve all the problems in this world. Thank you Rob.

This is my morning routine every morning. Boy, I had a hard time at first being able to keep up or even the length of time. 2 months of everyday and today was the first time I felt successful at this exercise and I love that the focus is NOT on speed but consistency thank you so much you are a great teacher bro!

This “workout” kicked my butt. Much harder then I imagined. I am adding this to my daily practice for awhile (months at least). Thanks Rob for helping me be a better drummer!

""You want all four fingers touching the stick"...such simple, great advice. Thanks Rob.

That was great Beat Down, I made it through but I got a little discombobulated a couple of times, but that was heck of fun! 😊

Love it! This format is just what I need!!

Discovered your Channel few month ago, I'm french, living in the mystical forest of so celtic Bretagne, play in a Batucada band for 3 Years now but Began with no rules, no tricks or lesson or learn about stick Control and finger control, began last décember to Constantly work daily to improve my weak hand, we are on september now and I really notice how my play is more fluide, go with the flow, this video is especially difficult for me but I stay stick on it and work hard to follow you, you're very motivating and nice, so THANK YOU a lot Mr Rob BROWN, I'm so proud to have the Best professor despite it's by youtube😊 Trugarez vraz as we say in breton (mean thanks bro)

Here in my country they say the mother of the speed is the slowness. Thanks man for this incredible video!

Great initiative, thank you! Keep this kind of practice material coming.

I really dig these guided routines... wish there were more. Thank you Mr. Brown!

Love it. It’s just what I need for a good warm up and tempo practice. You rock!!

Fantastic workout ! Thanks Rob!👍🏽

Rob always provides great exercises. And highly entertaining at the same time.

This is a great exercise Brother.....you came up with a good idea for one of your shirts at the end of this when you said... "WAY TO STICK IT OUT". Love you man. the world is better with you in it. thank you! Danny D.

I already hated my doubles, & this video PROVED how much they suck! haha! But, I've found a new way to practice (I'm gonna have to go slower than 120bpm, though) & I'd imagine as another commenter here mentioned, it would work just as great with singles, & paradiddles (the OTHER 2 "must do" exercises, you recently posted on Drumeo). Not gonna front, it took me MONTHS & MANY attempts to get used to you, but...I bow to the master! Keep it up, & now I'm on a digging expedition of your old(er) lessons!

Excellent , Beat Down Rob for sharing your time to teach and share your wonderful tutorials.

So happy I found this channel!!👌🏾👌🏾

My goodness Rob not played drums for 41 yrs due to road traffic accident,6 months ago I bought practice pad decided to master traditional grip before always played match, I seriously love ur honest down to earth videos thank you for inspiring me , just bought Gretsch Catalina club jazz kit I love jazz. So I’m following all ur help thank you ,

Thanks Rob, I’m bookmarking this exercise!

That was great! Thank you from Greenland!

Thanks great episode! The second time we went to quiet dynamics I completely lost control of my arms but quickly recovered!

This was awesome - keep interactive vids like this coming!

Great workout! I really enjoy your videos and style - thanks for making the drumming world a little better!

Great stuff man. I've been drumming for 3 years now and haven't found an exercise more helpful and fun until I saw this. Thanks so much.

Awesome RB! I was avoiding a jog or indoor workout. I did this instead. Thanks for making it all fun and bringing it again for us! A team player.On my favs for sure.

LOVE doing this. Meditational groove. Right on man!

Lovin your channel and really appreciate all your work. A huge thankyou from England 👍

Awesome again Rob. Your Video Workouts are very helpful..Preciate this

Well. I'm no beginner. But I'm not intermediate. Stuck it out all the way, with a few mess ups due to fatigue. But, recently I've recorded my cover attempts and been less than happy with my skill level. So I'm starting over and practicing everything from the basics. This is awesome. Subscribed.

This is such a great exercise! Took it to the toms for the first time today. Wow!

Yes this is a great 20 minute work out , I was flipping through practice warmups and this came up on my saved playlist , most definitely an excellent workout 🥁✌️👍

Its so nice to play this exercise with you. Thanks a lot

What a great, great exercise, and the groove on the metronome, with the commentary, makes it go by pretty quickly. I've really been trying to get my fundamentals sounding stronger, and videos like this are exactly the right thing.

I really like your videos! Been getting into them over the past few weeks and getting a lot out of them. The way you communicate ideas is very understandable for me as well as others, I’m sure. Thank you!!

I love this-I watch this and play along a few hours before any gig, and it gets my hands loose and confident

I am new and love your approach. It is working for me. Thanks man.

This video and excercise made my day...❤️

You are an inspiring teacher. Thank you.

This was an Excellent workout! Things definitely started to flow with more control.

Thank you for the inspiration and wonderful lesson! You are a great teacher!!!

Burns so good! Didn’t think I’d make it through but I caught a second wind. Thanks for the great workout!

Totally dig the work out. Thanks Beatdown Brown You're a cool cat.

Enjoy watching you. Please keep doing what your doing😉

I love this workout. I've been doing this every morning. It has really helped to developed my double strokes ! Thanks for the amazing videos Rob!

Hi Rob I’ve never commented before but felt I must after this lesson Brilliant . I’m looking forward to improving my hands with your help . Many Thanks.

Slammed that last one with you, love the content as I take my drumming up a notch, thanks!

This is hands down the no.1 drum channel on the net! I thank you for existing!

You are friggin great my man. Bless Up!

I've found through the years, dancers will request a song like "Alley Cat" or "Kansas City", it's not necessarily the song they want, it's more likely the relaxed easy 120 BPM swing that is comfortable to dance to they are asking for.

Really enjoy your watching your stuff. Your stuff really works.

Been playing for years, and this was a great challenge. Very humbling, but much appreciated. Thanks for the time and effort you spent on this one.

I’ve been playing for years and this exercise is great ,I’ll be doing this every day thanks again for all you do and sharing your knowledge

Best drum channel man Thank you

Hey Rob! I just discovered your channel last night. Thanks for getting me out of the non-drumming rut I've been in for a while. I'm inspired to get back into it and work hard on the basics. I really like your teaching style, man.

Simply great!!!! Fantastic teacher!!! Nothing else to say!! Thank you mate🔥💎

I love this kind of videos, they make me more consistent and focused than just sit by myself. I hope that you've planned more videos like this in your "2018's hands development". Keep going!

It honestly really helps doing the exercise along with someone. Keep doing these rob :)

Thanks again Rob! I enjoy watching and practising to your vids You're a true inspiration to us youngens of 50+ Drum on bro

Great teacher.Great exercise.I can’t believe how much it’s help me.Every thing is in there if you explore the environment.

I've been watching your lessons and have been subscribed to your channel for over a year. Love this video, have been trying to get to grips with doubles for quite a while now and being able to play along with you is helping me alot. Going start to finish now. Great relaxed but meaningful lessons. Thank you Rob Beatdown Brown.

Just found this video and it kicked my ass. Cant wait to conquer it. Thanks Rob!

So simple but yet insane....I love this guy

Really helping me work out any kinks in my doubles, feel anything getting sore, I readjust. ✌👍

A really good exercice !! Thank you!!!!

I like your unique teaching approach. Many roads lead to the top of the mountain and the road you show is filled with musical steps.

Hey Rob , Thank you so much for that exercise I've been at it with this wonderful workout five days a week and I feel the difference when I get behind Kit ! It' s like playing with precision .Thank you !!! You Rock !!!

Greatest warm up ever... thanks and lot of blessings

First of all, thank you for making these videos. And secondly, thank you for being so encouraging.

Love this exercise. Feels so good to my hands and to settle down in a relaxed mood! Greetings from Sweden

I can see myself improving. Thanks to you.

The value I get from your channel is amazing. Since I come from a place where there are no drum teachers, your channel is helping me become a better drummer by the day. Thanks a lot for all these great videos you put up and I'm looking forward to checking out all of them.

Can so relate to how you teach Thanks RBB

Thanks Rob! Really fun playing along. Killer metronome you got going on there.

This is a great video, very useful. Really good for double bass as well

Again, my brother, another killer exercise that gets the job done, and I will be seeing you again and again as I add it to my weekly strength building routines. Love all the effort you put into making us all better drummers.
