The true sign of a great drumming teacher is his unbreakable willingness to contort his neck into all kinds of inhuman angles, to face the camera and address his audience properly. Legend.
Finally yesterday, after a year of on and off revisiting this lick, I could smoothly integrate it in a (medium tempo) groove! It has it all: control of accents and ghost notes, moving around the kit (and then control the ghost notes) and keeping the flow in a groove. It works in purple haze ;) and also combines nicely with the six stroke roll, para diddle diddle (or diddle para diddle, first diddle on hats) and even "Bonham triplets". Thank you Max! Now studying your "improve your groove" mini course.
Great playing, Max. Such a nice, simple little lick that when played up to speed sounds amazing. Wasn't expecting something so simple to turn into such a cool lick! Thanks, Max...
You're one of my biggest inspirations since i started playing with 14, seven years ago. I'm studying jazz now. Hope to see you live someday! Cool lick by the way.
Meinl Profile Dragon, either a china ride or ride. I used to have a 20”, sold it now I have a 18” china crash. They are pretty rare. Check guitar center used cymbals online

I didn't know Max's voice was as smooth as his playing damn, relaxing. haha

Great to have you back Max! You're a RUclips drumming legend. You're like the godfather or something.
Thanks!
Man, you've always been a monster 😮 I love your newer stuff so much though! I would like to buy an album or three if you ever release some 🙏🎶
I drop everything when RUclips recommends a Max Salanone video. It's worth it every damn time 👌
Thx really appreciate it!
Your a good teacher. Imported is to slow back down again and learning the timing much better, than only practice speed.
I appreciate that!
So simple and so effective .
But so hard to do when you are a muppet show drummer lol
Good job again
This one is really cool !
Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much from Spain. You're a great drummer.. and teacher.

Nice to see you again with a great video like always.

Loved the lick!! thanks for sharing :)
So well explained and lovely dynamic playing as always, thanks.
Sounds a little like one of Pierre van der Linden's fills on Focus' Hocus Pocus (fast version) I love it, Max!
That’s what I thought too! Pierre is one of my drumming heroes!
Great playing as always Max
Now that's worth a thumbs up 👍
Thanks 👍

I have almost exactly the same rug! I got mine when on travels in Chile. Nice lick btw :)
I got mine in Peru :)
I listen to a shitload of utube drummers daily and its hard to match your feel Max.
Hey Max love your stuff... thank you
Hey great lesson! I am curious what are hi-hats in this video? Looking to get a small pair myself for a "low volume" kit
Awesome thanks for sharing
Lesson Great
Nice! Glad I came across this.
Glad you like it!
thanks, good teacher
How to rotate around the snare. Very cool.
This is one of those paid lessons from a couple o' years ago isn't it? I remember asking about that dragon ride. Thanks for the inspiration Max!
Yes it's an older video :)
Nice. You could use it in time or throw it in with other song-ending licks.
Nice stuff as always!!!!!
Thanks!

thx bro..perfect lesson..
Are you wearing ear plugs Max?

Well done My Man. You have touch. Teach people about touch. Lick sounds my favorite things.
