It's not difficult to play in time on your own. The biggest difficulty is playing in time with other people, who feel the beat differently - you have to hold it together and not allow them to throw you off!

@BIGBOUTYAH 2 года назад

Also some musicians have no inner clock and depend on the drummer for the timing, they say it's the drummers' job. All musicians should develop their inner clock regardless of the instrument they play. Some don't even know about subdivisions.

@fredericlinden 2 года назад

Really, maintaining a solid pulse throughout a piece is the responsibility of everyone in the group. But this is ignored by those who blindly believe that "feeling' is way more important than concentrating (...) and aiming at being impeccable.

Spot on, #1 issue for me. Sometimes I'll get a good grove and rhythm rolling through several bars at a time, and boom that timing gremlin hits my kick foot or left hand. I just keep going to pull it back together or switch up the grove a bit to get it back. I can say, its usually after I start thinking too much about doing something specific instead of just flowing with a grove.

Rob is absolutely right. In learning any instrument one must put in the time and hard work learning how to play and count out the subdivisions of quarter note pulse. When one is able to play through the subdivisions smoothly and effortlessly is when one able to then begin to focus on playing music ...........So true Mr. Rob B!! Great video bro!!

@fredericlinden 2 года назад

This principle applies to ALL of us playing an instrument. Drummers, yes, but next in line is the bassist. Pianists, we also must fill the blanks with precision. Really, maintaining a solid pulse throughout a piece is the responsibility of everyone in the group. But this is ignored by those who blindly believe that "feeling' is way more important than concentrating (...) and aiming at being impeccable. And don't let me started on saxophonists... --- Almost anyone can follow pretty well a metronome, and there is no way arguing with it ; but that is not the key to solid pulse. Along with subdivisions, which is certainly the ultimate solution, I would suggest that singing the tune when practicing (externally or internally), also feeling longer phrases than just one bar, and recording oneself playing live, are excellent additional remedies too. Thank you sir, for addressing this issue !

@biffbarton4608 Год назад

Rod Morgenstein wrote an article in Modern Drummer regarding this concept way back in the day and I've always referred back to it and practiced the subdivisions he included. It absolutely helps to internalize where beats fall and strengthens your sense of the distance between beats. Love your Channel Rob Brown! Good stuff!

@blujay9191 2 года назад

Great lesson. Not a topic frequently addressed. Speaking just for myself, without feeling overly mechanical I try to consider the grid something like a cross between a rock'em sock'em robot (with feet) and a player piano. There's been times when trying to learn some new and foreign coordination pattern that I've actually written out what looks like the paper tape of a player piano and tried to conceive of arms and legs 'firing' as the tape moves along. It's been a real helpful way to conceive of playing and certainly a help in staying subdivision conscious.

@johnrobinson8323 2 года назад

Sometimes, during a gig, I will use a metronome to check the tempo of a song before I count it off to lock it in. I will also use your method Rob of singing the lyrics of the song to get a tempo depending on how much time I have in-between a particular song. This usually ends the to fast or to slow comments from the singer. ❤️🥁

@fivebyfivesound 2 года назад

Agreed! Thank you for pushing for a focus on subdivisions, Rob. I’d go a step further to say practicing subdividing the whole measure-in addition to focusing on dividing the quarter note-is really important in building good time-keeping overall. And this is a place where a metronome can be really helpful. …for example, practicing keeping time, fills, improv and moving between various quarter note subdivisions while a metronome is clicking just downbeats on 1, backbeats on 2&4, a clave, or other relevant 1-bar ostinato.

@bostjanlaba 2 года назад

I understand the importance of subdivisions and get the grid but how to actually start using this "method"? When someone counts off 1,2,3,4, you actually start counting subdivisions in the head instead of quarter notes (at slow tempos of course)? So stop listening to quarter notes only and focus on as small subdivisions as you intend to use? And practise that? Sorry for the confusion...

@RVADrummer 2 года назад

Bro!!!! You took the words right out of my mouth!!! That's exactly what I am dealing with right now, with the exception of the other musicians blaming me. They blame themselves a lot when it's actually the music director that throws everyone off. He's a young worship leader that grew up playing to tracks. Now, he's in an environment where the worship team doesn't play with tracks (yet). So when that crutch is not there for him, he struggles with tempo, because he can't sing and play an instrument at the same time. I am fortunate to be one of those drummers that has an exceptional sense of time. It's nothing I can take credit for (other than practice). It's just what God just gave me. But I do feel my sense of growth being stymied and it is very uncomfortable not being able to progress as a musician.

@Chiroman527 2 года назад

Rob Brown, so glad to see you again. That's Why I clicked on this Video! Man, You are the Coolest of the Instructional Drummers... As an old guy, at 70, retired, and only a recreational drummer, who plays about 1 hour a day to My Music. I resurrected playing after 50 Years (1969). By watching you and others (you know the others.... Jared, Stephen Taylor, the 80/20 guy, the other Stephen Clark, etc. ) I have learned Mountains of info. I never played other than by ear, knew Nothing of Drum Heads, Tuning, and other intricacies of Drums!! Way back when in 1966, I took maybe 8 lessons or so at my local Music Store in Flushing Queens NY. I and 2 other HS Buddies who were also learning their instruments (Guitars) played as a Garage Band that never got out of the Garage. I'm sorry I waited soooo long to play again ( Always Played Air Drums), but it's better later than never. Only problem I have is arthritis setting into my left hand (both hands - but left is worse), thumbs, and carpel tunnel in my wrists), and I'm dealing with Spinal Arthritis Big Time. But for now....I deal with it best I can. It is truly a pleasure in life to be able to play an instrument. When I get through in good fashion certain Tunes, My Tunes (too numerous to list but briefly: CCR, Mellencamp, Clapton, Stones, Beatles, Cars, Talking Heads, even Linda Ronstadt & Bonnie Rait), I have good feeling. God Bless, THX for your devotion and time into this.

@ericl2969 2 года назад

What a great background story! Not long ago I posted a comment to a much older clip of Rob Brown's about how I'm starting up again at the age of 64, after being completely away from playing for nearly 45 years. I have been SHOCKED at how fast my skills came back in the last 7 weeks (some of them have not come back all the way but now I know there's hope, and other skills are better now than they ever were). And with the wisdom of age, I have become so much more creative and disciplined in my approach (including religiously working on timing). I'm inventing and playing fills I never would have dreamed of at the age of 18, and with every new concept for fills and even just drills that I think of, *I write it down on music paper*. I find that playing a fill or other pattern while reading it off of sheet music improves my ability to work out the mechanics of difficult phrases. That process of writing it down seems to help me think of new ideas, too. I'm developing quite a stack of transcribed patterns to go back and practice over and over. It's such a joy, even with only my ancient 4-drum kit. I'm glad to see another old guy getting back into it, and I agree with you that Rob Brown is a terrific teacher.

While completely agreeing with the importance of subdivisions for timing, I think there is something completely wrong in this video. Whatever you do, your time will not be fixed overnight. It is a long process, takes months or years to develop a reasonably solid internal clock. And it will continue to improve as long as you practise, because it doesn't have an end.

Ken, see my post to Rob Brown made a few minutes ago. I resurrected playing drums after 50 YEARS. It's in You!!. I don't play Gigs, never did even in the old days (1966-69) playing with HS Buddies in a garage Band. I play about an hour a day to My Music for recreational / Retirement fun. Since I recommenced playing after getting a Cheapo Gammon Kit from my wife (of all people) for XMAS 2018, shook a lot of Rust off, and then looked to improve my self and my equipment. YOU TUBE is a great wonder to be enjoyed and learn from. Rob Brown and the many others have provided me with sooo much knowledge about the Drums themselves (Drum Heads, Tuning, Tweaking, different Drum Sticks etc.) and playing the drums. I'm far from Steve Gaad, Steve Copeland, The Ginger man, Moon, Bonham (I'm Not Worthy), but can hold my own against Charley Watts or even Kenny Aronoff (somewhat), and THAT my Friend Makes Me Happy. It's hitting that One Golf Shot of the day: You step back and say: "I Can Do This". I don't play Gigs (Unless some local Geriatric guys like me at 70 , create a Jamming session :):) ), so my general goal is to look for improvements like being able to play certain difficult tunes by : Dobbie Bros., Allman Bros, Santana, and others... Good Luck, take pleasure in what you have achieved !! Not everybody can do it !!

personally i would say practise your 16th slow to a metronome and hear how they sound in relation to the quarter. when you've gotten to a tempo when you can't count 1e+a just count the 8th notes your right hand is playing or just count the quarter notes.

@massivecumshot 2 года назад

Love the grid pattern idea, as most people learn via imagery and not aurally. People' tend to have a "natural rhythm" as a result of their internal resting heartbeat. Most of our hearts beat between 60-74 BPM, and it's easy for humans to lock in at that rhythm or its doubletime (120-148 bpm) because we naturally subdivide. This is why playing very slowly is much more difficult than shreading at 220. Most of us have a lot more problem locking in at 80-100 bpm than we do at faster tempos. I have YET to meet anyone who could tell the EXACT BPM of a song just by listening, or could discern tempo changes less than +/- 5 BPM.

@JonZiegler6 2 года назад

The best ex I know for timing (for beginners and intermediate players) is alternating 8ths with the hands, and in between those 8ths playing the 16ths on the bass drum. It's a classic, and it's really helped me (I play the 8ths on the left foot to help coordinate the LF). Would really have liked some exs on this vid, there were some cool patterns going on in the beginning that would be nice to practice :) maybe in PT 2? Anyway, thanks for another great vid!

One thing that clicked the most for me in that sea of information is your no nonsense approach. To tuning the drums to well… everything. I don’t really want to play for church anymore and don’t want to be in a bar band either but want to pursue the skill of learning how to properly play the drums. I play guitar too and have wanted to write my first song. I’m 53 and have never done that whole process. Would you have any advice on how to best implement this desire into fruition? I do want to mic my kit up eventually and learn how to record my ideas. Nothing professional or anything but maybe some free software that someone that doesn’t like techy stuff can figure out. Anyhoo bud. Thanks for your input into the drumming world bud. You’re the best. WJames- 💀’s and🌈’s

It can be frustrating when the band starts rushing and they don’t pay attention to you when you try to bring them back.

Beat down breaks it down! Simply put practice the sub divisions around the quarter note. That damn easy?? Humph!!🤨

As people think it’s just slowing and speeding up but some songs speed depending on the song

That was the perfect inrto lol

I try and drum to songs I like, but usually around the first break I realize the band was playing way too slow. So I help them out by speeding up. LOL

Another problem is going In and out of a fill or groove with a lot of open time. Think Fire and Rain

I feel like I know you personally, anyways just want to ask if you have had the opportunity to check out some sabian hhx complex thin crashes? I mostly play ufip ritmo vintage cymbals but with a 2002 crash because I dig the clean sound of paiste as do you!
