Man this is good, I pray that God will bless you for helping others become better at the drums, I'm a drummer for my church and I'm grateful for your lessons, thanks bro.
I was on a double bill with Danilo Perez’s trio in the 90’s with a then unknown Antonio Sanchez on drums. I asked him how he became so fluent playing left foot clave (which he is ridiculously good at). He started with a similar approach with bass drum on e of one and a of two, but then it moves to incorporating hand/bass drum combinations as well while keeping left foot clave going.
I knew Tim when he was with the band before Primus, "Major Lingo" I lived in Jerome Az. where they all played as the house band (The Spirit Room). Mid 80's. I also moved away about a couple years after he did , I miss those jams. Tim was a lively drummer for the band.
Yes, I saw Benny’s version 5-6 years ago and he teaches this “grid” concept (as it used to be called) very well! For me, my teacher shared it with me around 2001 or so, I don’t know where I’d be without that!
haha these are the Paiste PSTX 16” Swiss Hi Hats. Happened to have them on the kit for another recording when I sat down to film, but I think they worked well to make the left foot chicks stick out 😂
You are a generous man, your dreams will come true.

Antonio Sanchez is truly amazing! Yes this system works for any ostinato you want to work on :)
Quite a talent to put together a great lesson but then present it so well too. Really well done
Thank you so much! I hope it’s as helpful for you as it was for me!
This is fantastic, congratulations and thank you!
you are very welcome!
this is exactly what i’ve been looking for. thank you
So glad you found it!
We spent countless hours doing these hand exercises in Drum Corps (without the a on the foot LOL). Very useful when muscle memory takes over.
Yep, it’s a necessity!!!!
just brilliant
thank you!
I did a lesson with Tim Alexander from Primus and this was one of the things he recommended doing for practice too!
Met him a couple times at the wild Buffalo in Bellingham. He always seemed like a cool dude.

Great stuff right there. Similar to Benny Greb’s approach.
As in "EXACTLY" like Benny Greb's Language of Drumming.

This pattern looks like samba.
