Drumeo should call you as soon as possible to make a class. You re awesome, man. Those concepts that you brings here can seem so basic to us, but you can really show us how their pratice can be deep and fundamental to our musical mind. Youre a terrific teacher, man. One of the bests. You and Austin Burcham deserve much more atention.
Haha what an epic comment man thank you so much!! I’ve actually met the Drumeo guys here in Cape Town last year! Very very cool people. And we did talk a bit. :) maybe in the future!!
i never really have learned drums like traditional when I drum I experiment until I come up with the beat to the song, and that always makes me push my boundaries
Same bro, I'm not even into trap music TBH, more of a metal head. It's cool seeing someone do, what I thought was programmed drums, on an acoustic set.
BRANDON you just changed my life and I’ve been playing drums for like...ever. Thanks so much for this video really really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.
Maaan you know what? I started drumming 16 years ago but only played 3 years in a row. I left it and since then I haven't had an approach to drums. I was just thinking of buying an e-drum kit and THIS VIDEO was the final divine push to do it. I AM going to explore and be curious about it. Thanks for that and awesome video.
When you got to the All Doubles section and played two snare hits, I would add that you can add variations by inverting the doubles to create a R sticking before the backbeat for a ghost beforehand
Man, my favourite practice sessions feel like a journey where I can leave with an idea in mind then return with a new skill. I have seen a lot of regiments that drummers use and I do some practice drills but I always find I learn more just trying and failing and trying again. I have been playing with this style for a little while and has confirmed I am on a good track. Just found your channel so Subscribed and looking forward to more content. Thanks for the lesson.
I know you're very passionate about drums when you managed to do the "Change the kick pattern" and you make ME feel satisfaction, and I don't even play drums! Great content you got here Brandon, you got a new subscriber here
Hard search to find what I was looking for. Thank you for this. Finally double stroke drills are going to pay off. Your the man!!! Digging your charisma. 38 year old returing drum set beginner and killing it thanks to youtube and private lessons. The groove is real!! Age is not.
New sub! I have been playing for about a month!! I’m so happy I found your page! You are so awesome with the sticks!! I’ve tried so many lessons from you, I’m getting there! I’m 43 and a new drumhead!! Thank you for your time!!
Good stuff! Keep grinding. Singles ,doubles and paradiddles then go from there. Flams are a good rudiment as well. Practice slow- the speed will come. Good luck
This channel is gold if you're starting out making beats man. Learning the fundamentals of groove and drumming down in the beginning of your production journey will really make things much much easier for you. Good luck, and most importantly have fun!
I don’t know if anyone has already said this, but one I’ve been trying lately is the 32nd note triplet (played like an unaccented single stroke four, but starting on the beat) moved around the grid. It’s the closest thing to those glitchy hi hat trap bursts I’ve found so far. I dig this video a ton though for its own application! Thanks!
This is a great lesson for any musician...rhythmic concepts like this are applicable all over the place. For me, this helped expand on applying subtlety in the right places when programming hats in a DAW for pop stuff. Wish I had a drum set, but this still should help me a lot with production. Good lookin' out, man.
I’ve been working hard on using proper camera settings as well as color grading a bit. Messing around with different lighting setups and editing. Trying to find what I like best! Glad it is being noticed! 😍
Sweet lesson! But I think the majority of trap music/beats (50% or more) play the trap hi-hat rolls with an underlying triplet modulation, rather than 16th note. The drake song at the beginning is all 16th note based, but the following two have an underlying triplet for the rolls. It’d be cool to hear you explore some ideas, modulating from a 16th note check pattern to triplet trap rolls!
You’re completely right, I wanted this video to be a simple video for most people to be able to grasp. The moment you bring in the word “triplet” people freak out haha, but good idea. I will definitely make “trap hihat - PT2 - triplet version” 😂
Brandon now at 3x as many subscribers as JP Bouvet... crazy, dedication matters! I know comparisons and numbers are typically dumb but this took me by surprise. Awesome job with your content, Brandon!
Haha that’s pretty gnarly man. It’s weird because, you’d think that would feel really cool but it doesn’t really justify anything haha JP is such a cool dude and I’m sure if he carried on with RU-vid like he used to he would have many subs. On to bigger and better things haha
Just found your channel, have been practicing other types of syncopation beats today and this just fits right in ! Cheers man, will have to check out more of your content !
I only recently found your channel, but u have excellent technique, tight as F$&K, and ur tracking and mixing sound fantastic. Such a well done, and educational channel. Job well done sir!
