Man, when I pulled this out to my band director who is also a drummer who can kick my ass in drumming, he was frickin smiling like a nerd, especially when I did the different variations in different grooves.
one departed Man, this made my day. Stoked that you got some use out of it and impressed your band director!!! Mission accomplished. 👌🏼👊🏼 Thanks for sharing man.
@@BigFatCock0 He probably didn't engineer them just for this video, I imagine his set and recording configuration were already set up for what he wants his kit to sound like
@@TheFruitMugger That makes sense. It'd be nice if he didn't sound like he recorded the drums in a cavern. Inside a track, the drums might sound fine but in isolation they sound weird.
@@BigFatCock0 Honestly, I'm no mixing master. I use garageband to record, mix, and master. I don't even have studio monitors to mix with i use my Sure SE215 in ears. HAHA... Maybe there's a bit too much reverb. I'll take it into account for the future. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
Thanks Kindred. Haha yes, not everyone should know this... I've been playing for 15 years or so and only discovered how useful KRL is in the past year... We're all on the same journey together, but we all take different paths. Hopefully these vids inspire people to work on new things they may not already know. :)
I've been using this fill since 2013, my pattern is K L R and yes, for someone like me who's not really a good drummer this fill makes me sound like a pro sometimes haha.
Angel Sanchez Breaking barriers haha I have no idea why the RU-vid algorithm is helping me out so much but I’m not complaining!! Haha thanks for watching.
Could it be that guitars and drums are musical instruments? .. . . nah impossible. I've been looking up april fools pranks then later i was recommended motorcycle engine rebuilding and cooking 1000 worms into a pancake, so.....😐 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The triplet fill is bread and butter to old and new drummers. For you beginners checkin this dude out. He explains this extremely well. It’s great to practice grooving with your fills, which creates “feels” on your groove.
The 80/20 Drummer Ahh thanks Nate. I try. It’s tough keeping people attention on RU-vid haha glad people seem to be digging this one. It’s always the ones you don’t think will get much attention. I literally filmed this one as an afterthought super quickly after filming my last video... Oh well!!! I’m not complaining! Haha
First learned this from Ginger Baker, secretive he gave me RLK LRK, which I found on a Max Roach solo years later.It was called the bass drum triplet.Works in so many ways and I have used it non stop.
Okay I literally spent 20 min doing this to get my spacing right. I made 5 different exercises and now I find this in my recommended. I’ve never looked up a single video about this. My FBI agent is definitely a drummer 😮 Edit: typo
No man. It's just this channel. Drummers are every bit the assholes guitarists are. You should read the threads on metalcore drummers arguing endlessly about how terrible/great drum triggers are.... yeesh
When ya break down drums, understand it’s really not has tough has one anticipated! This proves that. 1/4 to start RLKLR LRKRL. AN EASY LITTLE METAL TRICK JYST GROUP Of 4 speed it up, pit variations in you’ll found fast without being fast. 🤯
Bro my old man gave me a pair of sticks and I drum on a computer chair I don't let excuses hold me back from my goals so I think it's freaking sick that you air drum and don't let a lack of fancy equipment hold you back from progress!
The exercise I've been doing lately, taking this pattern and playing it in quarters, triplets, eighths, quintuplets, sixteenths, etc. KKRL, same thing, repeat with any pattern you like, it's a great work out for timing modulation
Sean, glad you mentioned Bonham triplets. He played the left handed (LRK) in the early 70’s. A lot of us older rockers had never seen anything quite like that. So we all hit the shed and kicked them out.
Sean Sicat And Bonham got it from Ginger Baker who got it from great Brit drummer Phil Seaman who picked it up in NY from Max Roach who got it listening to African drummers and incorporating it into his jazz playing as a statement about the roots of black music.I love the way licks get around, a fascinating language drummers have.
@@MacMic333 It's so awesome how licks get passed down over time... Used in all contexts of music (Funk, Rock, Metal, Jazz) Working on patterns is basically the core of what we do as drummers. And there is SO much to be explored and SO many possibilities. I like how you called it a Language because that's exactly what it is. Patterns are words and we can learn different variations of many different words to then form sentences. I would very much love a Drum Dictionary for christmas... and maybe a Drum Thesaurus.
I'm glad this popped up on my RU-vid. This is exactly was I was looking for. You broke it down perfectly. This is basically what all those "gospel chop" dudes play that get a lot if recognition for....and it's totally easy. Thank you. Liked and subscribed.
Hello Thereu Thanks! I’m glad it popped up on your RU-vid as well! Haha glad I could help give you something to work on. That’s the goal here, just sharing the knowledge and love for learning new things on the drums. Thanks for subbing!!!!
2:15 - 2:17 I kinda heard pornhub intro there. Btw nice tip bro. I'd love to use this cheese in the next gig and I'll make sure my mates know it was your tip!
Drums are so simple when u slow things down and just look at the rudiments. Hardest part is feeling odd grooves you didn't grow up with but once u get that u can throw simple rudiments to make thing sound so technical
Brandon Scott and he can even slap it left foot is so much fun when u. Righty but right foot is always needed to do the lead of course you could make left ur lead but i am sure it takes some practice...
New subscriber here. I'm a synth guy, I marched a bit in high school, and just got an Alesis commander as my first drum set. I absolutely love it for what it is! I only like the 5 basic patches on it so far, and I'm not that awful on it so far. This is my first viewing/video, and I can't wait to go through them all! Thank you.
PS As a beginner your going from an utterly simple beat to near god mode at :55 really cracked me up. I showed it to my family, they agree, and we all laughed. I'm going to say this about everything I try to teach them. That is like asking me type slower... SIMPLE, see!?!
Kudos to you bro. I'm a keyboardist. I used to play the drums during my younger years and I still do when I record music. Your tutorial and unselfish video would help a lot of drummers to give their playing a flavor of and pocket... that is if they'll practice, practice and practice. Thanks again! God bless u more!
No Brasil, KRL é a abreviação de caralho kkkkkkkkk. Bem, o vídeo é muito bom, como sempre. Só para descontrair :) Here in Brazil KRL seems like initials of expletive. Well, the most important: this video is killing, as usual.
Hey. Sorry if I seem rude, but please try and get abit better at english before commenting. This was really hard to read but I got the general idea of it. I understand If English isnt your first language
This is one of many ways to play what is often called the " John Bonham Triplet ". Louie Bellson played them before John Bonham ever did. But for some reason J.B. gets all the credit.
Hi Brandon, I don´t care about how your drum kit sounds. That´s not important at all, souds good, and that´s it. Beyond those considerations I thank you for share this pretty ideas about playing triplets, they´re very usefull. I´m just initiating in playing triples in this way (LRK, RLK, etc) I´ve allways played triplets RlrLrl Thank you from Buenos Aires, Argentina
Still one of my favorite groves is Paradiddle over snare and kick with a simple 8th note on the hats. K , L , K , K , L , K , L , L. If I'm feeling froggy I'll swing it and also drop random hits out of the groove.
Man when I used to play RLK was my bread and butter. Favorite fill because it's so easy and you can do so many things with it. It's simple but sounds complicated which makes it a great fill to make yourself sound like a better drummer than what you actually are lol
Brandon, this is the first video I’ve seen of yours. Well done, I’ve subscribed to go back and see the others you have posted and to get all the futures. I appreciate this video man. Thank you.
Good heads for starters. Then crank the snare side tight. Start low with the batter side. Tune up from there (evenly) in 1/4-1/2 turns til you get to the sound you want. Simple as that. Tom's should be tuned so both heads resonate with each other
@rts Nailed it. This is basically how I tune my snare. Also this Evans HD Dry combo with this Love Custom Drums Copper over Brass snare sounds great. I crank the top head as well. And yes, the rimshot changes the game. I mic the top and bottom head. Also, I do a little bit of EQ in post as well. Throw a little reverb and boom. Got it.
Not a drummer, but youtube recommended it to me. Interesting video,definitely gonna check out of you got other stuff like this cause as a bass player I'd like to think more like a drummer.
marscounty Exactly! Sometimes I feel like we get caught up in trying these super complex things when we can really just alter simple patterns to create something more interesting. Sometimes if you get too tricky with things it ruins the feel. Thanks for watching!
@@BrandonScottDrums I personally often play it as 16th notes while leaving the 2 on the snare and ending the bar little snare fill, works well to induce some slight change in the beat feel while keeping it clean and easy. I should aim for triplets more often now that I think about it :)
