My drum professor in college used to make us do this excersize where it was a simple 4 4 groove with no fills at about 65-70bpm (16th) and would set a 10 minute timer. No fills. No flash. Or you start over.
An alteration you can do to this is to start with a very simple beat and every 4 bars you add a single note to it. Play it with the single note added for another 4 bars then add another and so on, never playing anything other than the original beat and the notes you intentionally added
Bruh the adhd thing bruhhhhhhhhh. my bruh has the same issues man, no matter what we gonna roll on the 4 fuck everybody else 😅😂 you feel me I mean fuck the keyboardist, the base guitar, man lol if my brain says roll I roll 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Indeed that's the hardest part, but that's our job. I always try to make my beats challenging in a subtle way (toss an accent on ever the "a" of the 3rd beat every 4 bars or something that I know will make me focus)
i can agree with this is i play guitar not drums but still i feel discipline is a very important skill when playing one especially when your a human metronome as a drummer
I wish I could just teleport through that screen and play with this dude. It’s my biggest dream to be a pro drummer up there in front everyone. To actually be something.
Keeping tempo, and listening to the group as a whole. Knowing when, when not, and what to play to compliment the piece and fellow member's playing is what makes someone truly great.
So true. As a drummer myself, everytime I hear a band playing, I'm not listening on what groove, or licks he's playing, I'm listening if he stays on tempo throughout the whole song.
LMAO@ what you said. And it's so true. I saw a clip where even James Hetfield of Metallica was actually bitching at Lars about adding too much on the fills. So there you have it, that an actual metal band, at times, would agree about stuffing too much in there. I started listening to AC/DC in the early 70s, and Phil Rudd has always had just the perfect amount or right fills, or lack there of.
That's y some drummers couldn't play for Gregory Isaacs most of his songs from the intro is over its straight hi hat snare and bass then properly 1 crash and snare so steadiness for the entire 3 mins 4 mins
Thats one thing i miss about duranguense. The drums being used exclusively as a lead and fills instrument because the rhythem is covered by the tuba board.
As is Chatlie "Cool" Watts of The Rolling Stones. A human metronome for sure as the world over has pointed out. RIP. Sugarfoot Moffett is good, too. He was Michael's Jackson's drummer for a while for a couple of tours. And Madonna's, too.
Seriously. Smh at all these people pretending, saying that all that drum fill has going for it is that it's fast. Baloney! That drum fill isn't just fast... there's a whole lot of technique in that fill. Hitting drums fast without technique doesn't sound good. And smh at this guy for showing off, then suggesting that all the practice it took to get him there is nothing. Ooo so cool. Such bullshit.
Thats what makes Charlie Watts and Ringo and the like the best. Simple, yet tight, with just a perfectly placed accent hear or there. I like modern as well, but alot of that is all accents with a "beat" thrown in now and again.
played in an orchestra as a percussionist on a very young age, the toughest thing i learned then was actually restraint so you wouldn't overpower the entire orchestra haha. a trap i think for many young drummers as this is not exactly an instrument that inspires "restraint"
Everything is hard. You need never ending discipline to conquer all of it and then work all over again to keep repeating that brilliance over and over again.
Keeping consistent tempo was the hardest thing to learn when I first started playing back in the day. That’s what sets drummers apart from every other kind of musician. Guitar and bass players can follow each other, but drummers have to be totally focused on the technicalities of their own beat and also be in sync with guitar and bass at the same time. It’s so easy to get distracted sometimes and if our tempo is off, everyone’s tempo is off. The drummer is another kind of animal lol.
The last band I was in as a drummer, the rhythm guitarist had the most consistent tempo. So I followed his tempo - we didn't use click tracks - and always asked for his signal to be loudest in my monitor mix. But everyone has an equal responsibility to stay in tempo. The only difference for drummers is that our mistakes are often more obvious due to the nature of our instruments.
That's why Ringo was so great! He could do fast fills or drum rolls (and he did do them in a few songs), but he chose not to, because serving the song is the best service a drummer can offer to his band mates and fans.
yes your actually correct i’ve been playing drums for almost four years and this is true no kidding it’s confusing cuz you have to hit the hi hat at the same time as boom and ye
For those that are stuck, Pro drummers already managed tempo to the limit, which beginners think is hard, but resisting playing fast beats and showing off your flashy drum skills is actually tough.
Play with a metronome. Keeping tempo while playing basic ass beats isn't hard. This clip is retarded. Playing a fast, lengthy drum fill while keeping time IS actually a major skill.
It’s always a challenge to make a straight 4/4 groove FEEL GOOD. that’s the real challenge. Can you feel ever single aspect of the groove, and make others feel what you’re feeling.
I always think it's hilarious when people talk about drummers playing quads as though they go God mode. Quad fills was one of the first things I learned and I learned it in like 10 minutes
as a guitarist, I solely depend on the drummer to stay on tempo and I can hear the changes by the drum fill. It’s easier to hear the beats and strum on beat for me.
It's technique, timing, discipline. It's easy to go off on one and lose timing and focus. But making a simple beat sound fitting to the music is an art form.

*hits all the places possible*
This!!! 😀
“Don’t playy unnecessary fill” 😅
Resisting the intrusive thought to turn an entire track into a jazz drum solo is the greatest challenge a drummer will ever face.

Some of us have the discipline to play for the song without temptation ;)
Especially after the 100th or 1000th time playing song as "support".

Staying consistent throughout an entire song while still trying to keep it from being boring is quite difficult
Imagining trying to do this with people with no timing experience
Yeah, it’s a lot easier to cover up in songs with big flashy fills, but a lot harder to fill a simple groove while keeping it engaging
Especially for those of us with severe adhd. Its my biggest problem

Then work. And learn when to say _no_ and when to say _yes,_ but say _yes_ a lot even if you don't want to. Iykyk
The hardest thing is not playing while the guitarist and bassist are tuning their instruments😅
Hahaha well yeah, that too!
This dude has second best comment
Great comment man...so true
same with me, I can never stop playing, no matter what
Apparently it's impossible since it hasn't been done yet.
One of the most important drum lessons on RUclips and in only 16 seconds.
The urge to play fills in between I get that bro😂😂
I can't get enough of your content.
Keeping tempo, and listening to the group as a whole. Knowing when, when not, and what to play to compliment the piece and fellow member's playing is what makes someone truly great.
Not really. It makes them truly professional not great. Greatness is reserved for dudes who can do that, have amazing groove and crazy chops.
For ppl who dont know, he said its hard bc we have to stay on tempo doing that and sometimes we can slipped so thats why 😁😁
And also resisting the temptation to add in other more interesting hits
Not only tempo
Thanks captain obvious

Man, such quick hands. After 50 years, my tempo is rock-solid (Ha!) but I’d give my eye teeth to cruise around the set like that. Rock On!
Yes!! Must learn how to stay in the pocket. In other words, keeping the tempo🥁💯
The hard things here is:
1.Tempo
2.Dynamic
3.Making people dance with that beat
If you have all these....you're well on your way
So jump in the pit an kick some old fogey in the face to the first drum pattern!
Honestly the dynamic and tempo seem to be what makes something feel danceable

DEFINETLY MAN, 100% AGREED! STARTED PLAYIN IN 96🎉❤
As a drummer with 8 years of experience, I can relate😂😂😂😂
I am 12 BTW.
Bro I can't resist adding in some ghost notes on the snare😂
Me neither
Yeah I get it and I know tempo is hard, but it’s also like that itch to do a lot more than just the same beat sometimes.

@@xBorisAntasx what you consider to be unnecessary are some of my favorite parts of the songs!
Yes...after playing for many years, this is what you end up learning. This is a true statement.

Dynamics, control, and solid time keeping. 👍
Serving the song too

HELP!! I WANTED HIM TO DO A BIG FILL SO BAD
lol "whats actually hard" getting drummers not to throw chops into everything
Yup!
Louie Bellson once told me, “It’s what you don’t play”
Have lived by that for 55 years.
He also said if you don't have a drum kit just use chairs and I just use chairs it's sweet.
When I was a kid, my drum teacher had to say over and over again to just chill on the drums
The real teacher for the last one is playing dances. If you actually just stick to it, you’re going to see the floor come alive.
I’ve only been playing for two years but he’s definitely right
For those of you confused, us drummers have a harder time going like even just 5 minutes without doing a fill 😅
Or you can see it as being hard to keep tempo
yes your actually correct i’ve been playing drums for almost four years and this is true no kidding it’s confusing cuz you have to hit the hi hat at the same time as boom and ye
Stayin in the pocket
As a guitarist, I confirm that playing on time is a real pain in the ass...
Man staying on beat and being consistent on slower tempos is a nightmare for me
For those that are stuck, Pro drummers already managed tempo to the limit, which beginners think is hard, but resisting playing fast beats and showing off your flashy drum skills is actually tough.
I'm hearing....oh what A night ! late December back in 63, what a very special time for me . what a lady what a night! 😁
Thats why Ringo is my favorite drummer ❤

As a bassist starting to learn the drums, Tempo is a killer and I am so glad the drummer I play with keeps a metronome as his earbud.
I thought the fast drumming was hard since i tried to do breakcore drums and saw how hard it was to do
Keeping that groove is hard asf man😩
True!
December 1963 (Oh What a Night!)
In a nutshell, that's why Pete Best was out and Riingo in.
That fill is pretty awesome though 🤩
But I get what you’re talking about 💪
That part!!!! Pocket Perfection!

Love the kit
That snare POPS

It’s always a challenge to make a straight 4/4 groove FEEL GOOD. that’s the real challenge. Can you feel ever single aspect of the groove, and make others feel what you’re feeling.
Almost thought this was gonna be Honor Thy Father
This is why a lot of groups including The Beach Boys had studio musicians play on the album
the real key is landing back in the groove after the fill without losing tempo.
Not only is this dude a MONSTER musician, his drums sound F√€£ing Awesome.
✌️😎🔥
That snare control is too hard ♥️
If you don't enjoy playing a plain 4/4 beat, ad nauseum, you might as well put down the sticks. We are the backbone of any combo.
Sugafoot knows this struggle
Beautiful snare sound
i am not a drummer but i love listening to heavy metal drums, never thought that staying on tempo is hard

So true... Especially in Gospel songs where you have resist the temptation of rolling but to keep composed 😂
Maintaining tempo, not overplaying, keeping everything consistent, etc. Any mistake is magnified because there's so much time between the next note.
This is Great!!
Thanks 😆👍🏽
Me patiently waiting for a “HEY KID, CAN I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?!” on the first one💀
as a guitarist, I solely depend on the drummer to stay on tempo and I can hear the changes by the drum fill. It’s easier to hear the beats and strum on beat for me.
i haven't bothered learning fills yet because I realize the importance of playing in time.
its been 3 years.
That's the most honest statement I've heard all month-🔥🔥
Agree. Love ❤️ your videos. Great technique and great overall sounds. Thank you
It's technique, timing, discipline. It's easy to go off on one and lose timing and focus. But making a simple beat sound fitting to the music is an art form.
