    I started playing drums at 10 and learned basic rudiments at that time. Sadly I was not taught how rudiments are applied and so I did little with them for years. Then, a few years ago I decided to revisit rudiments and began working with the paradiddle. I learned and practiced every permutation of the paradiddle and spent hours just playing paradiddles on practice pads, on my snare, on my kit, on my lap, on my dashboard in the car, on my bed while watching tv for months. In doing so I improved so many of my general drumming skills including my doubles, my timing, my subdivisions of beats, my fluidity, and general drum speed. In addition, it opened the door to many other avenues so I started to work on the 6-stroke roll next and began to practice it as I had the paradiddles. This process became like walking into an auditorium with many different doors to choose from all of which lead to more auditoriums filled with more doors to explore. More importantly, it has led me to a process of exploring and refining dum skills that have improved my drumming more in a few years than I had in the preceding decades.
    Now, rudiment practice is a regular part of my drum practice and I never fail to see improvements in my drumming as a result. This old dog not only learned this new thing but it has made me a new drummer as a result and has greatly increased my enjoyment of drumming which is icing on the cake! :-)
    Once again thank you Rob for another great lesson! ps. Flamuel L Jackson

    Rob, when I first started drumming back in 1980, I had an instructor who had me go through the two classic books, told me to learn the rudiments, had me buy a metronome. Thing is, I didn't understand the value of rudiments; it was over my head. He had he explained to me that rudiments are the a, b, c's of the drumming language, then demonstrated how to move them around the kit, a light bulb would have gone off in my head. I took years off from drumming but only in the last few years have I discovered, joyfully, the importance of the rudiments in order to express ourselves on the kit! It's never too late. Thank you for this video lesson.

    The development of mechanics is THE EXPLANATION for the exercises. As Prof Brown just said.. u do this and suddenly something else u were struggling on... just becomes easy and sensibly simple (if there is such a usage). So Amen to Prof Rob Brown again

  • @michaeleagle2
    @michaeleagle2 Год назад +5

    Rob this is spot on.. Jr. High instructor broke it down with a similar rational, Building the hand Mechanics and muscle memory means so much. One thing I didn't realize it really helped, writing and transcribing. Your percussive vocab is like any language, the more words and phrase you know the better you can express what you're trying to say or figure out what's being said.

  • @edwardkaminsky8142
    @edwardkaminsky8142 20 дней назад

    This is one key element of learning, aside from lessons. How to read sheet drum music and bring it to the pad or kit.
    Snare drum rudiments have been a staple like ramen noodles. Single rolls, buzz rolls up to 25 beats, paradiddles, flam, flam accent, flam tap.
    All essential to combine the dynamics of backbeats and fills.
    Never did I imagine having to learn to read sheet drum music, let alone all the rudiments.
    Needless to say 6 months in and starting to combine those beats and fills. Magic.
    "Sight read drums" is helpful to learn sheet drum music.
    63 and each day is a new drum day. Never to old to swing the sticks. Keeps the wrists and fingers nimble.
    Appreciate the video Rob!

    Totally agree. I remember when i was young, first learning a simple paradiddle around the drumkit and realising how one simple rudiment can give you so many different sounds, fills, and chops. I love learning new rudiments to what different grooves and mechanics i can use around the kit

  • @brettthomson3689
    @brettthomson3689 Год назад +7

    Wise words. It took me a while to realise how your facilities improve subconsciously through understanding rudiments. There is a tendency at times by instructors to make rudiments intimidating. The key is to respect them, without fearing them.

  • @cesarvaldez112975
    @cesarvaldez112975 Год назад +7

    Yes, it’s not really about the pattern itself. It’s about the technique and the mechanics required to play it. Rudiments are basically all the possible techniques available to the drummer. And it’s it’s also the drummers vocabulary, the more words you know, the more you can say. But, before all that, it’s important to start with what many consider the “Real Rudiments” and the most important: the 4 main strokes. Which is the Full Stroke, Down Stroke, Up Stoke, Tap Stroke. One good routine would be to focus on 4 or 5 rudiments instead of 26, and just work with one rudiment from each of the rudiment families. Practice just one from the Single stroke family then one from the double strokes family, one from the paradiddle family, one from the flam family and then maybe work on your buzz roll. You don’t have to practice ever rudiment under the sun. Just practice the ones you think you might need. A mechanic or construction worker don’t have ever tool. They just have what they need to do the job. Dug the video, Rob👍

    Once again Rob, you are right on the money with this lesson. I, too, have found how useful various rudiments and other sticking patterns can help you fly around the drums without thinking about it. And I love your new moniker: "Flamuel L. Jackson". Keep up the great work!

    Nice flam combination! I love practicing flam rudiments, because the flam is a ghost note and an accent hitting at (approximately) the same time. That's a skill that totally translates to the kit. It helps with controlling internal dynamics, and is essential for funk drumming (as well as many other genres).
