LOL! I’m so new to drumming that I don’t have to worry about sounding too busy or crammed together! I just want to get through a song on time and not toss a stick 😂
For me, what helped me most was recording our rehearsals, and listening back. The 'cold light of day' listen will have you hearing where you're going off the rails.
Sounds Like Emma is an instructor extradonaire. Love the way your Tune and the sound you get form your Drums? Please do a Tuning video - complete with drum heads you use.
Well, depends on the type of music you’re playing. You would never ask with a death metal band ‘would Ringo play this?’. I think what set good drummers apart from bad drummers is that good drummers know where to put flair and extra notes and where to leave space.
I find that when I really don’t know how to play a groove or fill, I start adding notes to cover up my deficiency. . I’ll add extra notes to be sure I don’t miss the critical ones.
I think I do that mistake too and I'm not even a drummer! But it doesn't matter much. For my most ”important” recordings I use a real drummer anyway, so I can blame him instead…
Nonsensical advice. It's just stupid if you don't talk in a particular context. Your "space" might make no sense in a math core or tech death metal song and should be criticised for underplaying.
Make a short for that last fill please 😭
Yeah.. that's gooood..👏👍👌

You have a good feel to my ears.
Some of the music most loved is due to that space that pause. It takes the listening pleasure to a heightened level.
That first groove was not too busy it was rad

I’m definitely guilty of adding too many extra notes 😅 I really need to do this more! Thanks for the reminder 🙌😃
You're a great, great Teacher... Thank you for all your Videos!!!❤❤❤
Well said. Nothing wrong with a simple backbeat.
Love that fill at the end :)
This is like the genius of Ringo put into a quick music lesson.
excellent and all too rare advice! not a bad rule of thumb is "would ringo play this?" if in doubt, leave it out!

Less is more
@@throttlegalsmagazineaustra7361 such a bad cliche, which is also not even true. It all depends on the context, sometimes more is more
Love the way she speaks.
Good reminder! Can you please teach us the last fill and groove? Sounds so cool
I cannot even play fast crazy fills. I guess that works 😂
"Can you feel the difference?"
"YEEEEES!"
"Space is the Place."
-Sun Ra
Nice one 😜
Ahh yes we must allow room for the POCKET. ❤
Another brilliant, helpful vid. TVM!❤
I wish I was good enough to have this problem.
A vast gulf exists between "ALL drummers" and "almost all drummers."
Noooo that was funky as hell!
"You don't need to play chops all the time"
Be glad Travis Barker isn't anywhere near the UK, he might want to have a stern word in lol
Same things with my piano students 😄
Yes, what great advice, simplify, leave room for the other instruments!
Keith Moon: hold my 🍺
Groove
Labros G. from 1000mods makes this right still makes his play interesting.
300 bpm blast beat goes brrrr
Ghost notes

That's drumming 🤩
You didn't had to make it personal!

I liked the too many notes examples more than the space ones
Steve Gadd docet!
Yes!
Guilty
Space, the final frontier….
Space is my friend? 😂 Also are they the pro mark fire grain sticks? I have some and they are amazing 😍
*breathes in Pentagle
*laughs in blast beats*
I keep watching these videos in anticipation of the day I can afford a drum set lol
Just because you can play at 160+ BPM doesn't mean you should
Like every El Estepario Siberiaro video lol
Zach Hill wants to know your location 🤣
How do we avoid this? Get busier!!!
Music is nothing but notes and rests. Find a good balance between both!!
Drummers remember there are other ppl in the band. So stfu and hold it down.
That fill at the end kinda sounded like bonzo's intro fill to Whole lotta love
Ohhhh wanna whole lotta love😝
Took years to learn what not to play. If the ensemble groove is too busy the fills and solos have already lost their spark.
Less is more ;-)
Wish someone would show this to Christian Eigner …
