Yes Sir! If you're willing to sacrifice your time to teach, I am more than willing to invest the time to learn! I'm a beginner so anything related to the pitfalls and disappointments you faced just starting out would be great. It may also lead people to believe you're not superhuman so the risk is yours to take lol. Thank you so much for the lesson and I'm sure I speak for most when I say we definitely look forward to more. Blessings to you and yours everyone 🙂
Please keep this content. The ones who won’t listen past 30 seconds arnt gonna learn anything ever. There’s a small number of us wanting to learn and keep this amazing skill going so although it may be a small number it’s the ones who truly care so thank you for this and I hope to see more
As a beginner drummer I can say, keeping up with this mans workout routines is nearly impossible. But I am still trying every chance that i can 😂 you’re a beast man, thank you for taking the time to show all of us what we want to know and being great at explaining everything
Your precision is unreal. I truly appreciate you taking the time to provide lessons to your followers. To be honest, I am interested in anything you wish to teach. Love the lessons!!!!!
I can't stress how important these exercises are to improve your drumming! While I don't play anymore, I had a load of books with similar exercises and they improved my drumming exponentially! Its good to also see a drummer who knows how he got to where he is today, practice and perseverance! I loved watching this.
As a beginning drummer, this is SUPER helpful, please do more! I'd like more exercises like this to help build consistency, maybe some with more variations in kick patterns. I'd also be interested in learning your personal preference on which cymbals or toms to use at certain points in a song for specific purposes (building/releasing tension).
Go to your local music store, buy "Syncopation", learn it front to back and then start over and do it with your feet. This guy is incredible but this exercise is way too one dimensional and seems like something he didn't spend a lot of time thinking about before posting the video.
A really good tip for a beginner is to spend a good amount of time on patterns where you're not using one limb to keep time. In a normal groove for example, your lead hand will be playing the hats on the beat or on the 8th note. This can end up making you depend on that to keep time, so it's harder to pick up anything where that's not happening, which is almost every fill or chop you'll ever play. Linear patterns like the one in this video will help you internalise the beat regardless of what your limbs are actually doing, and although it's tricky to start with it's much easier than trying to relearn it later, when you've already grown dependent.
I started playing drums a couple of months ago and found your channel... I'm really happy that I did. Great work and content, if you teach more I'll be here to learn it. My struggle is independence. Finally, I'll try this exercise with my single pedal hahaha thank you, and have a great day!
I love everything you do. Any lesson is awesome, but while a drummer saved my life, I'm not a drummer, it's just one of my favorites to watch over all. So I appreciate ALL your videos and admire your abilities. And of course I'm always sharing your videos, I think you're insanely talented.
Humildemente opino que deberías seguir subiendo lecciones, ya que sos muy directo a la hora de explicar, haces todo con tu set "reducido", y demostras que pones en practica todos los rudimentos... Saludos desde Argentina
Absolutely man I'm a giging drummer. I've played a long time but lately I've felt stuck in my style and I'm trying to improve. I watch a lot of your videos and I appreciate your unorthodox and minimalist approach and you push me to experiment. Please more!!
This was such a valuable lesson for me! As a rookie of double bass, these fundamentals aren’t too hard to keep me away, nor too easy to make me bored. Challenging, developing proper muscle memory, and starting slow….Thank you!!!! Please keep these coming, I’ll make my way over to that patreon now!!
Beginner drummer here, would absolutely love if you could do a RUclips video on the real basics of drumming as I’m sure I’m not the only beginner drummer here. I’d love to know how to apply beats that I’ve learnt for example as well as what I should practice on, since I’m at the beginning and feel lost. This would definitely get more people to be interested in your patreon.
This sounds so cool, if you have the time, it would be amazing so most people who watch your videos are newer to the set, but the level that is most important is breaking that barrier of just “knowing” beats, and being creative enough to make your own and to play for the absolute fun of it! I’ve played for 5 years so I’m not a complete noob to this, but not even close to your insane level. THANKS
Totally agree, it's easy enough to find lessons for beginners and get started, but so many of us hit a plateau once we know a few beats, a few fills, a few rudiments, and we have no idea how to do anything cool with it. 😂
I would love a video on your hand technique and your favorite exercises you used to develop it. You have so much speed and control while being so relaxed you look like you could fall asleep while playing. I would love to see the stuff you worked on to get to that level. I follow a lot of drummers and your technique is one of the most impressive that I've seen. Your one-handed videos especially are mind blowing how you get around the kit with just one hand and do it so clean! 🤯
Thank you so much! I have been playing drums for years with no lessons and you have provided me with new finales and fills. I have always had trouble transitioning from beat to fill and back. Your lessons are giving me great ideas
Love the instruction content! I'd love a future discussion on kit setup. I always feel like I can't get comfortable on my kit. Seat height for leg positioning, height of drums and snare, adjusting tension on pedals, arm positioning, etc.. these seemingly small details make me curious if I could feel more comfortable and have better accuracy if I knew better. Thank you again for everything!
Even if youTube didn’t sent a notification for this I believe that you should continue making these lessons because you will reach a new audience group and it will boost your channel.
Man great lesson! I guess I will ask the obvious question it is mandatory to have a double kick right? I've always used a single bass pedal. Do I need to suck it up and learn the double bass evidently?
For me This is the stuff that I love to see I love your approach to teaching… brutally honest and practice make fucking perfect… you put in the work and you can do these things too and I will for sure check out your academy… keep being the fucking rock star you are sir and THANK YOU for this
Great video, as always. As a beginner to intermediate drummer who has plateau on his skills, these tips are fantastic. If you ever feel like producing a video of one or two drum fills that are geared towards beginners that would be fantastic.
Yes I very much appreciate anything you want to show us. Every second you spent on that kit shows up in your playing it’s so fucking impressive man. You’re an awesome drummer but you can tell you were super efficient in practicing as well. Thank you for everything you’re willing to show us. Everyone here knows these lessons are very valuable. Thank you for all your hard work.
First of all I just want to thank you for everything you do. I am beyond grateful for your channel. You truly have changed my life and my percussion. Any lesson you have to teach I am beyond grateful for. Thank you again for this channel and everything you do.
Thanks Mr.E, the lessons are great even though I have been playing for over 40 yrs now! I still learn new things all the time, thanks for the free lessons. I'll take it..
Man i dont play the drums, dont have an inclination to ever learn to play the drums, and never have, but i do have a huge fascination seeing someone who has put in time and effort into their passion to the point they are a craftsman of what they do. An authority on their subject matter, even if that particular subject isn’t your personal passion, the principles that got the wizzard to his wizzardry, can be applied to other goals throughout ones life. It is a beautiful thing your doing here is all im saying, even for someone who doesnt play the drums. Your due diligence in your craft shows and is a lost art form in itself. Thank you.
This is an incredible lesson to watch. I am trying to get back into drums after having kids for the last few years and this is the perfect place to start. I love your videos and can’t wait to see the next lesson.
Alright, so I love your RUclips shorts and always click on them when they come up. Now, I have no intention of learning to drum at this time, but this content is so well done that it has earned my subscription to your channel. Very well done! Please keep doing what you love and sharing it with the world. You are beyond talented.
What I really just want when learning new beats or exercises, is to see the notes and then to hear how it sounds. Long videos with a lot of talking will repel most people, but since this is what you enjoy doing, definitely throw these in every now and then.
Enjoying this only coz its you teaching, usually play to my favourite tunes for fun for about 3 to 4 hours a day. looking forward to some more and will join ur patreon sessions. Thanks for the motivation.
Your studio looks incredible, your drums look sick! I love the lessons, I love all your videos but the lesson ones give insight and tools to progress. Very eloquent, really really well produced. The focus of clear shots with lots of practice (flams are good but only when you want them lol) is exactly how I love to learn. I don't have any constructive criticism because your videos are fantastic, If I could have a wish I'd ask to add that click to when your playing. It's not important and the way this video is I love it! I find hearing the click helps my brain absorb the pattern. Awesome stuff, your video venting about "being talented" was fantastic I wish everyone would watch that. Cheers
Any lesson content from you is gold. The most impressive drummer on social media imo. Great seeing your countless hours of dedication reaping rewards for you. I will be getting merch soon - keep doing what you do man. Your a damn monster 🤘🏻🥁🤘🏻
Es excelente tener este tipo de lecciones de un maestro como ud. Me pondré a practicar y estoy esperando verlo en el concierto de Saratoga en Bogotá!!! Allá nos vemos!!!
Incredible! Your videos are just awesome. I last played a drum kit over 20 years ago but watching your videos and LEARNING techniques like this make me want to buy a kit and restart my old passion. Thanks and keep doing what you are doing, its great!
So inspiring to watch you play. I would love to see you incorporate other rudiments. Maybe some flam rudiments. I'm a drum instructor of 40 yrs. and really dig your videos. Greatness! man
I just recently got serious about learning drums after playing guitar for 20 years. these simple triplet patterns are gonna be fun as hell to practice. BUSTING out the metronome and gettin to it!
I would love to see break downs of every technique from the start of metal up to now. Hell i would i love to see you breakdown the history of metal drums.
BRO! I wish this was around when I was playing! You young bucks have NO IDEA how hard it was back in the day. NOTHING like this! You had to listen to albums over and over, and slow shit down to try and figure out fills and such! This is so awesome! 007
Thank you. I have been doing my trip and quads with both of my legs first for years. This simple inversion and arrangement is very helpful. Thanks again!
My God, I am blown away! A good friend pointed me in your direction and she’s right!!!! I have always loved drums and it’s something I have always wanted to learn since I was very young. Well I am 63 now…..😮 too late I believe 😂 I could seriously sit back and listen for hours…..my neck will get sore because I never sit still. That’s impossible 😊 You are awesome 👏🏻
¡Me encantaría CUALQUIER video tutorial! Como baterista que se esfuerza por ser tan bueno como tú, ¡cualquier consejo sobre cómo llegaste tan bueno sería increíble! Me encantaría si pudieras hacer más técnicas de bombo sobre cómo ser rápido (como este video) y más sobre cómo acelerar y hacer que tus rellenos suenen suaves. ¡Gracias por todo el tiempo que dedicas a estos videos y sigue así! No hablo español, así que si esto es incorrecto de alguna manera, lo siento :)
How are you? I hope your channel gets really successful. Please do a video on your bass drum technique. Toe/ heel or both or something else? Thanks for all of the videos. I watch you as much as I can. Retired senior who loves to keep improving although I am retired. You may have changed that. Thanks again.
Thank you for the lessons! Would love to see more! Would love to see different drills/exercises to help with double bass speed, maybe different drum fills, or anything basic that is important for the newer crowd to learn to help them grow.
Great video!! I played all the way through college then went on to record and tour. My son has been playing for a few years now and I’m trying to help him with more complicated rhythms and this is a great exercise! Thank you!!
I would LOVE for ANY tutorial videos! as a drummer who strives to be as good as you any tips on how you got so good would be amazing! I would love it if you could do more bass drum techniques on how to get fast (like this video) and more on how to speed up and make your fills sound smooth. thanks for all the time you put into these videos and keep it up!
This is actually really useful as I've just started trying to get into playing double bass drum. I've realised that my linear coordination is all over the place and i struggle leading triplets with my right hand so these exercises will be really helpful.
i ABSOLUTELY need to improve some ../.if not all techniques...your skill is mind blowing and to have YOU teach on youtube would be a blessing to anyone who actually wants to get better ....so PLEASE make instructional videos for us to enjoy and to learn from , sir
I've played for a number of years now, and as far as fills go, I mainly improvise and don't lean on the technical...well, techniques...very often. However, because of this, I've started to notice a lot of similarities in my fills and I'd love to be able to spice them up a bit. Ur just the man for the job, so I'd love to see a lesson video on good techniques for good fills.
Solid teaching, really like it. The only thing stopping me from playing drums is trying it before separating my right hand and right foot... Might pick up a cheap set and start trying this type stuff.
Excellent lessons and you are every bit a great teacher as you are a phenomenal drummer and caring human being. I'm a sax player and percussionist since the age of 15 but have always wanted to play a full kit properly. When I can get a kit and have a place to practice, you will be the one who turns me into a great drummer, even at 61 yrs old 🤘😎
Hello Varus , Hey not only did you get me off the coach (which my mum couldn't do) you got me playing 10 years after I stopped. I've played many gigs but I'm gifted as a Rock drummer all heart no notes or teachers. I've told you a few times that I'm now building a drum studio . Last but not least, I went and bought a Demon Drive double kick. There isn't any XR models right now (March) ! I see you use both I am ordering the XR too. The lesson is choice , thank you Chief........🥁
Great video. You give clear instructions while keeping the momentum going. The video is just short enough to keep my attention and also gave me a ton of ideas to work on. Thank you. Keep these coming!
You are a beast! Please keep posting this helpful content! You are easily my favorite drummer working rn! Minimalistic and power all at once. Truly inspiring.
I've been following your channel for a while and I'm impressed by the speed and control you have. I would like you to teach more about how you timbre your drums and polyrhythm initiation would be fantastic.
You are the man! I've learned everything I do naturally accept the paradiddle, so this will help me acel tremendously! Love your stuff and definitely interested in your tutorials! This is the sound I'm looking for! Cheers Bro!
Lessons videos are good and helpful. It would be great if the camera is showing from the other side of the drumset so we can see clearly what the pedals works.
Awesome lesson! I'm a guitar player obsessed with the drums. Rarely play guitar anymore. Lol. I'd like to see some lessons on grip technique and maybe some hands chops videos to start. Thanks for your videos, always fun to watch!!
I would love to see more videos on how to do different techniques like in this video. I would like to know how to drum fast, how to play precisely and exercises to get better in generel. I love this kind of content, since i want to get better at drums and rhythms. Good work!
Hey !! Your one of my favorite drummers mostly because you can reach light speed with just two hands and feet, i'd like to know how you do that, could you make a video about that pleaseeeee ?? Thanks a lot Love you bro !
Awesome lesson very well explained and demonstrated! Congrats on the new kit and studio. Looks great! Looking forward to sharing and viewing more great lessons!
Hey Estepario! Love your channel! Your dedication to your craft, your passion is admirable. Can you explain how you hold the sticks, they looks so loose yet you're in complete control of them even when doing a single stick drum roll!!!! Thank you for sharing your amazing skill with us.
Your passion is admirable. You are honest also, accepting the hard work you put in during your learning times. Many drummers give impressions that half an hour daily will make you a great drummer in a couple of years.
I was a drum prodigy….at a young age. Entered my mid 20s. Found drugsssss…ended my possible future st the time. Now I’m 33… and thanks to your videos, it inspired to go get another kit and get back to drumming….. thanks for waking the beast again man, your dope AF….for the record…6 yr clean from opiates!
It’s inspiring to see what a crazy good drummer you are. I’m just starting out and honestly I just want to know some training methods I can do to get better. If you had any tips that’d be great, thanks!
i really love your drum sound! this is of course complicated, so some lessons id like are: Tuning recording, mixing and producing Touch - by that i mean the things you do ing your playing that adds to your sound. Thank you, and great video!
I actually love things like this. For example, it would be awesome to learn various poly-rhythms, counting odd timing signatures, and counting timing changes during songs and practicing alone. All the basics are always good too.
Sick Kit - Drummed like 15 years ago in bands ect YOU have inspired me to get back into it... soon as I have a new kit i'll be with you - might have to have a trip to spain to pick up Varus ... would love to have a smoke and meet you

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by!
if you want to support my work,
just comment whatever you want me to teach next!
THANKS!
Rist technique and positioning for left hand on snare pls
Stick control, fills and grooves, musicality!!! Thanks a million for posting these lessons up.
I have a question can you do this exercise with one pedal? Or do you half to have two pedals on your base drum
Please try and attempt doing the song 3 bastards by infant anhihilator this is day #15 of asking
Teach how to keep beat when you drop a stick, and how to recover a stick without fucking up
Yes Sir! If you're willing to sacrifice your time to teach, I am more than willing to invest the time to learn! I'm a beginner so anything related to the pitfalls and disappointments you faced just starting out would be great. It may also lead people to believe you're not superhuman so the risk is yours to take lol. Thank you so much for the lesson and I'm sure I speak for most when I say we definitely look forward to more. Blessings to you and yours everyone 🙂
Please keep this content. The ones who won’t listen past 30 seconds arnt gonna learn anything ever. There’s a small number of us wanting to learn and keep this amazing skill going so although it may be a small number it’s the ones who truly care so thank you for this and I hope to see more
It's so cool to see people spin up their own businesses on RUclips. I hope this guys school takes off.
I knew a dude with slightly less subscribers who put out less videos. He was easily earning 5 to 7 k a week ....from RUclips.
Hell yeah all on real talent and skill
As a beginner drummer I can say, keeping up with this mans workout routines is nearly impossible. But I am still trying every chance that i can 😂 you’re a beast man, thank you for taking the time to show all of us what we want to know and being great at explaining everything
Your precision is unreal. I truly appreciate you taking the time to provide lessons to your followers. To be honest, I am interested in anything you wish to teach. Love the lessons!!!!!
On top of being an absolutely ridiculous drummer, he’s also a really solid teacher. Very clear and precise video. Straight and to the point.
He's badass
The consistency of your footwork is insane! To be able to maintain this pattern cleanly is so impressive
Keep walking the dog brother 🙏 inspiring to listen to your discipline… Technique is truly humbling.
Godspeed
I can't stress how important these exercises are to improve your drumming! While I don't play anymore, I had a load of books with similar exercises and they improved my drumming exponentially!

This is the type of lessons I like. Taking a certain "groove" or "chop" and showing the progression of it. Much love!
i don't think i have the talent to play the drums, i believe that is a gift. you clearly have the gift
No such thing as talent; only passion + practice = ability
I started playing drums a couple of months ago and found your channel... I'm really happy that I did. Great work and content, if you teach more I'll be here to learn it. My struggle is independence. Finally, I'll try this exercise with my single pedal hahaha thank you, and have a great day!

Totally agree, it's easy enough to find lessons for beginners and get started, but so many of us hit a plateau once we know a few beats, a few fills, a few rudiments, and we have no idea how to do anything cool with it. 😂
I would love an in-depth video on bass pedals, it could be brands, settings, techniques or all of the above... love the content keep being u❤️🤘🤘
I loved this. Great content. The amount of deliberate, dedicated practice you do and the discipline you have is immediately obvious watching this
I would love a video on your hand technique and your favorite exercises you used to develop it.

I would also love a lesson on stick tricks. Only problem is I would practice that more than the actual drumming. 😂
Would definitely love to see some good fills and how to incorporate them into a song/beat!
Thank you so much!
I have been playing drums for years with no lessons and you have provided me with new finales and fills.

No hablo español, así que si esto es incorrecto de alguna manera, lo siento :)
Just found your channel and as a drummer for 25 years, you are one of a kind my friend!! Can't believe all that I'm hearing!! Awesome!!!
How are you? I hope your channel gets really successful. Please do a video on your bass drum technique. Toe/ heel or both or something else?
Thanks for all of the videos. I watch you as much as I can. Retired senior who loves to keep improving although I am retired. You may have changed that.
Thanks again.
Thank you for the lessons! Would love to see more! Would love to see different drills/exercises to help with double bass speed, maybe different drum fills, or anything basic that is important for the newer crowd to learn to help them grow.
Great video!! I played all the way through college then went on to record and tour. My son has been playing for a few years now and I’m trying to help him with more complicated rhythms and this is a great exercise! Thank you!!
I would LOVE for ANY tutorial videos! as a drummer who strives to be as good as you any tips on how you got so good would be amazing! I would love it if you could do more bass drum techniques on how to get fast (like this video) and more on how to speed up and make your fills sound smooth. thanks for all the time you put into these videos and keep it up!
This is actually really useful as I've just started trying to get into playing double bass drum. I've realised that my linear coordination is all over the place and i struggle leading triplets with my right hand so these exercises will be really helpful.
i ABSOLUTELY need to improve some ../.if not all techniques...your skill is mind blowing and to have YOU teach on youtube would be a blessing to anyone who actually wants to get better ....so PLEASE make instructional videos for us to enjoy and to learn from , sir
I've played for a number of years now, and as far as fills go, I mainly improvise and don't lean on the technical...well, techniques...very often. However, because of this, I've started to notice a lot of similarities in my fills and I'd love to be able to spice them up a bit. Ur just the man for the job, so I'd love to see a lesson video on good techniques for good fills.
Fresh and easy understandable teaching, I appreciate your way, greetings from Costa Rica
Solid teaching, really like it. The only thing stopping me from playing drums is trying it before separating my right hand and right foot... Might pick up a cheap set and start trying this type stuff.
Excellent lessons and you are every bit a great teacher as you are a phenomenal drummer and caring human being.
I'm a sax player and percussionist since the age of 15 but have always wanted to play a full kit properly.
When I can get a kit and have a place to practice, you will be the one who turns me into a great drummer, even at 61 yrs old 🤘😎
Hello Varus ,
Hey not only did you get me off the coach (which my mum couldn't do) you got me playing 10 years after I stopped. I've played many gigs but I'm gifted as a Rock drummer all heart no notes or teachers.
I've told you a few times that I'm now building a drum studio .
Last but not least, I went and bought a Demon Drive double kick. There isn't any XR models right now (March) !
I see you use both I am ordering the XR too.
The lesson is choice , thank you Chief........🥁
Hey Estepario how about stocking some Merchandise in like 3XL for us large musicians Thanks
Excellent lesson. I’m a single pedal guy so I’m practicing this slowly and hoping to get my speed up while keeping everything clean. Thanks again!
Great video. You give clear instructions while keeping the momentum going. The video is just short enough to keep my attention and also gave me a ton of ideas to work on. Thank you. Keep these coming!
I love this. Please make this a series. I've been playing music for over 25 years but I'm still a novice when it comes to drums.
You are a beast! Please keep posting this helpful content! You are easily my favorite drummer working rn! Minimalistic and power all at once. Truly inspiring.
Bro, keep the lessons coming. I am a 20year drumming vet and I love having different types of practice and techniques that help me improve.
Starting doing drum lessons here would be a great idea!
I've been following your channel for a while and I'm impressed by the speed and control you have. I would like you to teach more about how you timbre your drums and polyrhythm initiation would be fantastic.
You are the man! I've learned everything I do naturally accept the paradiddle, so this will help me acel tremendously! Love your stuff and definitely interested in your tutorials! This is the sound I'm looking for! Cheers Bro!
Thanks for the exercise Master, is there a way to do this exercise in case I don't have a double pedal?
Share the basics how to start, you're amazing! I'm beyond impressed!
Your footwork is crazy! The stablility blows my mind!
Awesome lesson, thanks! Foot pedal cam would be cool for future lessons like this!
I would love to see more techniques explained in depth. As a drummer who has problems with drumfills, this would be especially nice!
I‘d love to see all you‘re Rudiments practice! I’m a drum beginner and can only play the paradiddle 😅 please make more videos about stick control!
Yes.very nice exercice .I continued the developpement with all rudiments between the snare and tom bass . That's great!😎
Lessons videos are good and helpful. It would be great if the camera is showing from the other side of the drumset so we can see clearly what the pedals works.
Awesome lesson! I'm a guitar player obsessed with the drums. Rarely play guitar anymore. Lol. I'd like to see some lessons on grip technique and maybe some hands chops videos to start. Thanks for your videos, always fun to watch!!
I would love to see more videos on how to do different techniques like in this video.
I would like to know how to drum fast, how to play precisely and exercises to get better in generel.
I love this kind of content, since i want to get better at drums and rhythms.
Good work!
Keep on teaching. Always.
Thank you for providing a foundation instead of the script. Use the basics and build your own.
You have very straight forward understandable approach,hope it goes well, peace
Hey !! Your one of my favorite drummers mostly because you can reach light speed with just two hands and feet, i'd like to know how you do that, could you make a video about that pleaseeeee ?? Thanks a lot
Love you bro !
Awesome lesson very well explained and demonstrated! Congrats on the new kit and studio. Looks great! Looking forward to sharing and viewing more great lessons!
I really like this video. You are such a great teacher. I like the "build routine" approach. Stay Groovy!!!
In addition to lessons I’d love to see a video about how you record and mix your audio (mics, triggers, plugins, etc.) to make it sound so great!!!
It would be an honor to learn drums from an awesome drummer like you!!
Hey Estepario! Love your channel! Your dedication to your craft, your passion is admirable. Can you explain how you hold the sticks, they looks so loose yet you're in complete control of them even when doing a single stick drum roll!!!! Thank you for sharing your amazing skill with us.
Dynamics are giving me a hard time lately so some exercises on that would be great! Thanks for the bass drum exercises def gonna try them
This is awesome!
Your passion is admirable. You are honest also, accepting the hard work you put in during your learning times. Many drummers give impressions that half an hour daily will make you a great drummer in a couple of years.
I was a drum prodigy….at a young age. Entered my mid 20s. Found drugsssss…ended my possible future st the time. Now I’m 33… and thanks to your videos, it inspired to go get another kit and get back to drumming….. thanks for waking the beast again man, your dope AF….for the record…6 yr clean from opiates!
It’s inspiring to see what a crazy good drummer you are. I’m just starting out and honestly I just want to know some training methods I can do to get better. If you had any tips that’d be great, thanks!
i really love your drum sound! this is of course complicated, so some lessons id like are:
Tuning
recording, mixing and producing
Touch - by that i mean the things you do ing your playing that adds to your sound.
Thank you, and great video!
I actually love things like this. For example, it would be awesome to learn various poly-rhythms, counting odd timing signatures, and counting timing changes during songs and practicing alone. All the basics are always good too.
Sick Kit - Drummed like 15 years ago in bands ect YOU have inspired me to get back into it... soon as I have a new kit i'll be with you - might have to have a trip to spain to pick up Varus ... would love to have a smoke and meet you
