I have been struggling with limb independence heavily after stopping drumming for a few years. Needed an exercise like this to relearn it the right way. I have a gig in a few weeks that I was stressing about, but after running through this a few times, I feel a lot better. Thank you for your generosity!
Funny enough, I was practicing ostinatos and got stuck in a rut and this video just popped up. Man you explained it so well! I’m practicing it slowly but getting there
Brand new self taught drummer here! This video is leaving me sitting in my computer chair with my mouth open. Definitely a challenge I'm looking forward to practicing! Thank you for putting yourself out there with these drumming videos.
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 “a” of one and “and” of two, but then it moves to incorporating hand/bass drum combinations as well while keeping left foot clave going.
This is all you need to get better at drumming in the beginner/intermediate level. I'm self learned, and have had some drumming lessons. I got the exercise to do the 4 singles variation accents, I was told to start with them, and then that will improve my skills. Many times you want it to be much more cool and advanced, just do the basics.
My teacher taught me this same exercise using Gary Chaffee's Time Functioning Patterns in my early teens, all the patterns are there in the book, you just need to work through them 2-3 limbs at a time, slowly and accurately, different patterns for snare/bass/hihat/HH pedal. Once you can do the 4 note patterns with ease, pick any two 4 note patterns to make an 8 note pattern. This time of exercise really allowed me to take whatever I am hearing in my head and be able to just play it, I highly recommend spending some time with these exercises! Once you start adding accents, making longer phrases things and get it up to tempo, it will get VERY musical, don't worry if it seems boring at first!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to put this lesson together. You explained everything so clearly and enthusiastically! In this day and age of immense greed, you freely shared this wisdom, with your only compensation being the hope that it helps the drumming community to get past a difficult milestone. Thank you!
I’ve been teaching myself for about 2.5 years by just jamming along to the drum scores I can find on you tube. Recently I’ve started to want some structured practice exercises for serious improvement. As much as this video terrifies me because I’m nowhere near being able to unlock my limbs for it, I’m going to start slow with a few minutes a day and hope for the best. I’d love to be able to play just a little more freely without having to rely on following scores. Thanks for the lesson!
My man! I've been searching youtube videos for quite some time and none of them tackled the explanations of counting like you have. Plus, not only did you not just explain your thought process, gave excellent tips, but you also showed us. Instant subscribe.
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.
Great explanation! If you can say it you can play it! Moving accents against ostenado foot patterns like New Orleans, Brazilian, Latin can really open up playing..
This is awesome stuff. I’ve been teaching pretty much the same thing to all my students for the past couple years so to come across this video by chance is a total spin out for me. I especially love the vocal accent stuff for helping students play fills that actually sound good and aren’t just mechanical movements down the toms. You can make rules like accents on right hand go on the floor Tom and left hand on high Tom for example.
I purchased a Drumeo membership as I can't afford traditional private drum lessons. Drumeo is a rushed information overload. These are the exact type of lessons I was looking for. Thank you and I look forward to exploring your channel further!
I think this is the single greatest drum kit exercise I’ve found. I haven’t played drums in yeeeears, but just after doing this for a while I actually feel like I’ve completely separated my hands and feet entirely for the first time. You’re a legend
Thanks for the great lesson and explanation! I have Benny Greb dvd’s and did a several of his camp masterclasses, but another view and twist to it is always welcome! Great inspiration! The big problem is you have to put in the hours, there are no short cuts 😉👊🏻
You're an excellent teacher. I stopped playing years ago but have been enjoying watching you clearly explain and play your lessons. I have a drum pad sitting in a virtual shopping cart. Maybe I'll get it today
Woah! been watching all sorts of teachers, you are amazing, you break everything down and make it so manageable. ive been playing for years, paid gigs too, but only cos i could keep time and groove, i have no chops...but your channel is the best, you break it down so simply and youre a phenomenal player. you deserve 1m subs
This might well be the best drumming tutorial I’ve had the pleasure of watching. So neatly scaffolded and very well explained and illustrated. Thanks a million for opening up a whole new drumming practice approach to me 😊😊😊.
Yeah this is very very similar to 16th note grid. Gridding in marching world is to break down and separate the hands from the feet and see how to find each partial in the note. At slower tempos is essential and very useful. If you can grid anything and learn and play it flawlessly, you'll be good.
Bruh, yesterday I had a gig and it was next level. Applying Samba/12345 afforded confidence to stretch and take risks and ride the click. There are a lot of fantastic teachers on RUclips, but I say thank you to you and your teachers for sharing that. It’s so damn simple, yet so effective. Peace..
I saw the video. Thanks ! One way I reach to practice with that was with independency, this mean: all three limbs keep one group and the free limb play though all the 16 variations. For example, right hand, right feet and left feet keep doing the variation 1, meanwhile the right hand play all the 16 variations. When you finish that only one limb change to the second variation (left hand for example), left feet and right feet keeps doing the 1 variation. Now, right hand play again the 16 variations. And so son. This is a nested loop. You can have more than 72000 combinations only with that. With that, you will have a very very very solid vocabulary (only for existence), you can multiply all those practices with accents, flam and doubles and you will get ~72.000 x 3 (at least). That's only if you count the binary subdivision. You can do the same with the triplets, quintuplets and 7-tuplets. Thanks for this!
@@DimitriFantini I learned some 4/4 notes with "words" in spanish. For example, two of them can be called "Ga-Lo-Pa" and the other one is "Sam-Ba-Le". So, I realize that play those two at the same time make me soooooooooooooooo confuse about what am I earing. And at the end I get discover of so many combination that I will never play by my own iniciative.
It is precisely this type of exercise that put me on a path the radically improving my drumming about 10 years ago. I can't recommend this enough. Still a work in progress, the combinations never end. See also: Alan Dawson's Rudimental Ritual.
Cool. Brain had something similar on his VHS instructional in the 90s, Shredding Reppis on the Gnar Gnar Rad. The entire thing is available here on youtube. IIRC the kick was playing 1--U2--U3--U4--U Snare was on 2 & 4 Hi Hat was straight 8th notes Right hand played all the partials on the ride. It REALLY helped me a lot when I was getting started.
This is great stuff. I started with New Breed back in the 80's and Advanced Funk Studies. I remember seeing those > on the top of the beats and didn't bother with them. Until I got to final year highschool and realized how much those ghost notes make a difference in the feel and sound. I was starting on a book like in 1998 and it was very similar to this but I didn't have a computer or know how to do the notations with the accents. Dom Famularo RIP came out with a book in the early 2000's with Vic Firth. I was signed up to them to get free books etc. It was similar in a way to the Speed-Volume axis. Anyway, I see this as an excellent exercise that we should be doing it on a daily basis. I've been drumming since 86 and other than the few instances, I never played 5's except for perhaps a performance of Peaches En Regalia at my final college performance. I played in hard sort of proggy stuff but it was mostly fast unison stuff as a group but 5's are rare. The independence work is great though. Haha don't forget the voice. It helps when you get vocal parts. Dude, I'd recommend any new drummer to check this out! Good stuff.
as a guitarist who plays many instruments i find these patterns very useful for some of the complex rhythm sections found in djent songs from bands like tesseract animals as leaders and periphery or meshuggah
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.
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!
Now you're ready to play Thrak, which has a section of the 5 against 7, except you play either the 1st and the 3rd or 1st and 4th notes of the 5 against the 1st and 4th and 6th notes of the 7. Then you can add the 3rd polyrhythm simultaneously over the top. It's in 13.
Seems to share a common thread with Ben Johnston's Focused Coordination method books. You might be interested in checking those out as it builds some of these concepts into entry level groove patterns.

Also one thing not mentioned on this is that exercises like these are best practiced with both right hand and left hand starts to get extra independence practice. Get good with one first and then try the other.
My first ever drum lesson many years ago had me doing this with 5, 7 and 9 stroke rolls over the samba. Jazzers dont mess around! Not that i was able to do it...
4:03 on this part you aren’t keeping your left foot going. Should I be? I am struggling to so I’d say yes. Any advice? I find my foot wants to go with the accent instead of on the 1.

I feel the same way bro
I’m a self taught drummer who’s played for years and this video made me want to throw up
@@mickeyricketts6987 because...?
@ Bcuz for as long as I’ve played drums Im still nowhere near this 😭
Great stuff. It reminds me of the practice I did 50 years ago using a book called "Stick Control". I've still got the book!
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 “a” of one and “and” of two, but then it moves to incorporating hand/bass drum combinations as well while keeping left foot clave going.
Antonio Sanchez is truly amazing! Yes this system works for any ostinato you want to work on :)
What hi hats love the lesson

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.
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.

@6061 Do you play drums with aluminum sticks ?
On 6061 cymbals !
👍to your channel
You are a generous man, your dreams will come true.
Challenge accepted! This looks VERY challenging, but as a self-taught drummer, limb independence has been VERY difficult.
report back in one week!
Independance is a difficult skill for most. discipline builds independance. You will fail. A lot. Thats good.

This exercise has really forced me to imporve my counting and accuracy. This is great, thank you.
Awesome! Glad it’s helping with your counting and accuracy
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!!!!
This is awesome. Thanks. Clear and well demonstrated. Super simple, but not easy! Time to work on it.
Go for it!!
This is fantastic, congratulations and thank you!
you are very welcome!
First drumming vid I ever saw that actually makes sense. Will definitely try this for sure! Thank you so much man 🙏
That means a lot thank you! Have fun giving it a try!
Nice lesson Dimitri makes a lot of sense!
Definitely the best in the world!! So comprehensive! Thanks a lot!

Well done😊
My first ever drum lesson many years ago had me doing this with 5, 7 and 9 stroke rolls over the samba. Jazzers dont mess around! Not that i was able to do it...
how about now?
Yes! I actually got it after a few weeks. Then moved onto the rumba on the feet which was much harder.
Killer dude!!!
thank you, my padawan!
I KNEW the ostinato was coming! Lmao nooooooooo such a hard exercise to do in class with you but it's so helpful though! (I still dread it)
next step, do it with baiao! and more!
good stuff rh
14:52 I can hear you have met my girl from Ipanema.
Nice 👍👍👍
Thanks Ron!
Opera too nutty!
what?
Gold!
Is there going to be a version for double stroke rolls and rudiments?
As a heads up your notation requires a time signature before, otherwise 4x16th notes does not = whole bar. You "tabs" / notation are in 1/4.
it’s inferred lol
Yes thank you well said doing my head in
Liked, subscribed, saved.
Do any of your videos show the proper heel up foot technique?
yes a recent video in fact!
great video
thanks a lot!
I like it lots
Nice.
Thank you!
And how Do the 5 over 4 work with that Checklist Rhythms together? Arent these two differnt exercises?
if you accent every 5th note, it's on the checklist! You're just combining several rhythmic cells in a row :D
So the "Accent on 5" is meant to be like another pattern on the checklist?
@@persiaxfanbase6883 it's a pattern ON the checklist! it's the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, then LAST patterns on the checklist
@@DimitriFantini Ah okay, i got 🙂 thank You!
4:03 on this part you aren’t keeping your left foot going. Should I be? I am struggling to so I’d say yes. Any advice? I find my foot wants to go with the accent instead of on the 1.
yes, you should be able to keep your left foot going on - quarters, off beat 8th notes (just the "ands"), all 8th notes, 2 and 4 only... as a start!
You are not the first to do this,and that's all I will say. It's original how you present it.
