Thanks Rob, a teacher like you was needed, here in Mexico the 6/8 is very common in our music, these analysis of rhythms, hemiola and different possibilities and metric modulations make it much richer and more interesting, gracias maestro!

@drumpoet3 Год назад

You might also talk about how the double paradiddle and all of its inversions work great in 6/8. I was so delighted when I discovered that the right hand on the bell of the ride cymbal (or cowbell) is playing the African 6/8 bell part!

@CraigShawCraigShaw 2 года назад

Carter Beauford has some wicked 6/8 grooves! I remember playing my drum teacher a Dave Matthews Band song years ago and asking him to show me the groove. "That's just a para-para-diddle, dude!" Got me hooked on turning rudiments into grooves, particularly 6/8. Great lesson, Rob!

@MrRezRising 2 года назад

Ah, the "Black Velvet" feel. Been in love with this feel since Alan White on Hold On on Yes's early 80s years.

@royschwaben9646 2 года назад

Commenting just because I'm early to this one....I go through spells binge watching lessons / technique stuff. After every Beatdown video I come away learning something useful and damn cool, and I do mean every. single. one. RU-vid is chock full of kickass players, but being able to play is different than being able to teach well. You can do both. I'm more of a guitar and bass dude, pretty much an amateur hack on drums, but I LOVE watching your stuff. It's helping me improve, and weird enough it's helped me on other instruments too. Keep up the awesome work.

@brookehornback1896 2 года назад

Time to step outta that boring box same played out time signature you mentioned and familiarize myself with this important 6/8 time signature.So thankful for this channel to learn the right stuff to practice.✌

@julesdrums6167 2 года назад

Duuude good timing. Just got to the kit for some 6/8 throwin down. Also that shuffle groove is basically what John Bonham does on Fool in the Rain

@simonalexandercritchley439 2 года назад

Cool stuff,6/8 afro-cuban has been my favourite for decades,will try these new combinations.I like how you do triplets with the hat foot.I like to switch from 3/4 jazz mambo to 6/8 variations.Tight!

I played drums professionally for a few year. Then when I was in Late 30’ I quit playing. At 55 years old. Great video playing for church now- and chasing the Jesus drumming awesome my brother . Appreciate!!!!!!!!

@greggokunami59 Год назад

Rob you are the best. So informative, practical, fun, humorous. As an early stage drummer, there are so many videos out there, it's terribly confusing which video to watch, what to practice, etc. Hands down, enjoying and applying your videos the most. I keep finding them and coming back for more.

@Livin_Legend25 10 месяцев назад

To make it easier hearing the 16th notes in 6/8. As he said focus on the quarter note triplet (or count in 3/4 if you will) and just start from your quarter note subdivision in 3/4 and work your way up to 16th note and you’ll be good to go

@NARMAK1966 2 года назад

Hey Rob, how ya doin, that was a cool video.!!!! I am a student at drumeo and i have been with this institution for the past 18 months. I have learnt a lot from them and yourself by watching the videos.!!!! You helped me to play my reggae beats so smoothly.!!!! I do enjoy your videos and very honoured that i am one of your subscribers.!!!! Please if you have time, make a video about how to play in 6/4.!!!! That is my absolute nightmare at the present.!!! May peace be with you. I am out.!!!!

@groovegoon88 2 года назад

Mongo Santamaria's Afro Blue launched me into playing 6/8 and have explored it in Latin, Jazz and shuffle feels. Im a just OK player but the way you throw it down and share it with others is inspiration fer sure. Thank You Mr BeatDown!

@charlesavino8826 2 года назад

Rob, I need to tell you how much your videos have improved my technique, groove, funk, chops, and most important- my confidence. I just played a gig where we were playing "Good Woman, Good Man," and we were groovin' like there was no more. We LOCKED in. I remember thinking, "Relax llike Rob said, keep the elbows in, maybe a little grimace and hunch the shoulders a little and feel it!" All those little things add up to the big groove. The crowd exploded when we were done. We were told we could play that venue any time we wanted and I got an offer to play in another band on the spot! So, thank you my brother. I watch every single video- even the beginner ones, and I have been jamming since fifth grade- in1968! :)

@CharlesTPrimm 2 года назад

For someone who hates to play to a click the sounds pretty darn amazing.

@WALSKY 2 года назад

Thank you for your videos. You’re a great drummer and a great teacher

@kimlodrodawa123 3 дня назад

Thnx for the lesson. Can only agree, 6/8 is just the key to the swing king of drumming. Hopefully I will find more 6/8 lessons among your vids!?! Cheers 😎🙏

@donnypatoine4475 2 года назад

Dude, such a perfect video to start with playing 6/8, awesome video as always. Can always count on your content when I'm looking for something fresh to practice.

@ogxr626 2 года назад

I probably overuse the double paradiddle groove in 6/8, but it’s so much you can do with the sticking.

@brooklyndrum 2 года назад

Rob I’m going into the studio on Thursday and one of the pieces I’m recording is in 6/8. I’ve been looking for some fresh ideas for this track and you just provided them for me. Thank you thank you thank you.

@lagkeys6428 2 года назад

Thank u so much Rob, this opened my eyes (ears) up so much, I can hear rhythms I never did before. More possibilities exist in my head now

@anthonyalfieri8271 2 года назад

Rob, in my opinion, you fly with the best. Top tier. I learn so much from your videos. If I'm low on motivation, it usually means it's time freshen up my game. You have a great way of delivering advice. You remind me of my uncle. Keep them coming sir, I need guidance.

@llpick3415 2 года назад

@robertryder1097 2 года назад

Such a great lesson - it really helps to have all those variations underneath the basic 6/8 vocalized. THANKS!!! ☮️💙🎶🥁

@fastfiddler1625 2 года назад

I need to go have fun with this asap. I'm attempting to self learn via drumeo and great teachers like yourself. But drumeo is an amazing tool. It feels expensive with the yearly payments, but it's a ridiculous deal when you consider everything you get. Way cheaper than traditional lessons.

@paulscobie607 2 года назад

You make drumming look so easy! I've been trying for years to improve my drumming with no luck, wish I had 10% of your talent.

Bro-Ham! I am advanced in my playing. I dig all your teaching man. But THIS! For real. The hemiola 8th note click is what ive always used in 6/8. Doing it your way makes me feel like im playing 6/8 over 3/4 and it has opened my head up BIG TIME! Thanks for decoding this one !! Like click subscribe yall!

@360.Tapestry Год назад

i never realized how complex this is to break down. i think this explanation would've been too intimidating for me to try. thankfully, i found this groove organically by letting my left foot play the other (count/alternate) note. yes, it feels much better than playing a straight 6. but my favorite time signature may actually be 3/4. moving the snare around in 3/4 gives you a lot of freedom to change the feel

@drummermomcjs 2 года назад

Great lesson Rob! I have always loved the 6/8 groove. Having grown up with tunes like "Reeling In The Years", "The Portrait" and "We Are The Champions" it is one of my favorite time signatures. I really like this idea and I can see how it will help me in my feel. That tip about breaking it down into 16th notes was a great tip.

@nickfosterxx 2 года назад

7:15 Simple. Genius.

@NintenDub 2 года назад

Oh I thought this vid was older. Didnt realise it was from today.the best 6/8 groover,is bonham hands down. Since I've been loving you....what a fkkin groove! And the fills...mixed with those paiste giant beat crashes...Ahhgg!!!!! So0○□● good

@juliandancingshadow4959 2 года назад

I'm right handed, I lost my attendants left middle finger, ring finger and wrist years ago. My left hand become very slow. Can you show how to do a 6/8 para diddle ghost note power blast triplet? I lost my way

Rob Brown, I has a bass player one time tell me that me 6/8 felt too “swingy” & like a swinging hammock. What would be a great way to make my 6/8 sound more “straight” or not swingy?

@XeRo333 2 года назад

The first time I ever heard of 6/8 after always playing in 4/4 it threw me off...I legit had to Google what 6/8 was and how it works...basically moving the snare hit on the 4 and the kick on the 1. Once I figured that out 6/8 worship songs were more easier to understand. Useful tricks on how to approach 6/8! Now just gotta get it worked out in my muscle memory and get familiar with it and how it can fit on the grid with 8th notes, 16th notes, quarter notes, ect.
