*Hey y'all! Hope this video helps you out. While we're on this topic of funk and hip hop grooves, our boy Nate over at The 80/20 Drummer dropped a great video talking about how to fix your feel for hip hop grooves. Link to that video is in my description box. G'awn and check that one out as well!* 🤘🏾
I want that shirt! Got some?
@@mikeflinn6918 Yup. Link to the merch shop is in the description box. Snatch one up! 🤘🏾
All us Drumeos that released a video of Broadway Hustle are going “oh man, why did he release this after the deadline?” 😁 I hope my version didn’t make you cringe too hard. 😁 Seriously, I love this lesson! It’s an easy practice trick but it does so much. I’ll incorporate it in my daily routine.
@@RobBeatdownBrown Thanks, man. A great reminder for the tough days. You are my inspiration and the reason I make progress with this drumming thing.
I just gotta tell ya, you give a lot of great information and advice in a short amount of time!! I sure wish I had RUclips when I was first staring!! You kids soak up what he’s saying cause he’ll make a great drummer out of ya even if you have no skills!! Better to learn good habits now than spend the rest of your life fixing bad habits!! Thanks Rob!!!!!!!🎵❤️🎵
Its crazy how all of a sudden a simple metronome click turned into a groove in my head. This is a dope lesson.
Alternate title: “Rob Brown teaches how to get that stank face”
I heard dat!! 🤔
It’s crazy , I wasn’t following what you were saying and then when you started playing along I heard it . More importantly I felt it . And you’re right I can’t unhear it !!!Super cool tip . Love what you do man !!!
Got my snack....
I have learn so much from your channel. I can never thank you enough. Thanks Rob
A great example of this is If I ever lose my faith in you by Sting. Colaiuta maintains this rhythm the whole song and is funky af.
you are real good at teaching!
mad respect
This guy is the only person on youtube who has given a functional explanation about swing. Because everyone just knows the jazz swing. But how to feel it to funk it up. Wow now I know how to swing.
Yup.....once you smell it, you can't un-smell it. De-mystify and simplify. Another great tip, Rob! Thanks!
Excellent instruction!
I love the whole internalize first and then take it to the kit method. It’s how drummers become musical. New subscriber here and looking forward to more
“Grab a snack. Come on back.” Epic.
Love your advice. It helps when you sing: Da dl di da dl bi (bi is on the click). I tried this with quintuplets. And the result is also great to play funky. Thanks Rob for your videos.
I been just screwing around for years on drums, but finally decided to take it seriously and get to work, and man you are helping me so much. I feel like I'm make real progress. I love playing so much, I'm considering selling all my electric guitar gear and just concentrate on this instrument. Thank you Rob. BTW: I love those Promark sticks you recommended. The balance, the grip stuff, and they last a long time.
Why would you sell your guitars most Drummers. I know play drums key board guitar violin glockenspiel & the list goes on 👍🏿. I can't really feel drums much anymore can't really see why I should return even if I'm good no won cares how good U are🤷🏿♂️ anyway open mic 🎤 shout down because of covid 😉 no one really cares cheers✌🏿though with where ever your Dream Takes U👍🏿 I wish you all the Best.
Been a bass player for over a decade. Got into owning a drum kit of my own in 2020 and it helps tremendously. Don’t sell your guitars!!
Great lesson. Such a fun groove to play to! Swing is King!
Best drum lesson on YT without a doubt
Thanks, man
He is giving us that choncc advice for Life again
You hit it on the head! Great lesson on how to learn and practice this! If ya want asses on the dance floor this feel is a must! Thanks for the vid!
Love your approach to drumming . And even though I am a percussionist, I'm learning so much from your tutorials. Your long exercises are a fantastic way to groove over a long period, and as you are aware of doing doubles with just your hands is a friggin chore. Ain't no rebound, but your videos are very helpful. Great approach with great chops with a fine sense of humor . Keep it happening, your tutorials are needed.

I also want to say your vid on vic firth was awesome. I used to not care about what sticks i used...I got the impression that Vic were 'better' so I went with them for a long time on principle. When I got older and did away with all that, I found promark to be so much better balanced across many of their models. Just confirms...find a stick you love...try every stick in the shop before you compromise. Im currently using the promark natural series (with the green logo). my kids bought me a pair for my 37th birthday which was very nice. My daughter also bought me 2 guitar picks. How sweet. God bless you Rob
Great Lesson!!!! Really Helpful and key tip on adding one subtle adjustment ( accent on 6) to a swing "feel." There's that bounce!!!! I love it.
8:25 Now that is hilarious!!!
The mad face was the most helpful advice here! Thx, bro❤️
A good dose of Average White Band live will cure the “funk”
And there it is!
I got 3 drum sticks in the toaster oven, I swear, not making this up!!🥁😄👍 practice first, then hit dem sticks! 😋
Hi Rob, I'm a Drumeo member and I only see your Jazz lesson...not the pocket builder lesson. :) I love your channel! It has improved my drumming immensely. Thank you!!! Peace and Blessings
Best swing lesson ever - for any instrument. Thanks Rob!!
Greasy Sticks is my new drummer name 😄
" Slippin' and slidin' on the skins...ladies and gentlemen GIVE IT UP for Greasy Sticks on drums!" (yeah...that's a keeper)
Brilliant! Genius! Thank you for beating me down and building me back up.
This is very David Garibaldi Permutations!
"Smell something" LOL , think I got that down.. thanks for the video Rob
“Make the mad face…like you just smelled sumpun’, that you ain’t spose ta be smellin’”. Epic Rob. I cracked up!! Love ya bro ✌🏼
Dude! You talking about 35 years playin- this video 2 years old… plus whatever years you before starting. Point is I’m starting (2 months in) at double nickel! Dam I’m old.
Hey man I really dig your videos from tuning to jamming all of it.
I’ve been watching a lot of dudes and dudettes doing their thing and teaching.
Learning drums is bit tough but digging’ it!
Kick ass man !
This was immensely helpful for me. I noticed immediately my tempo got better too. Thanks Rob
Rob has nailed it. Instantly made me groove better. Thank you!
Damn that clap along exercise was such a vibe! i Study classical percussion so i got the rythm down, but i love the feel you conveyed it with! totally going to try and incorporate this into my drumming. I have played many concerts with classical orchestras, but in my i have my first ever paid drumset gig at a musical. i am STOKED.
Very helpful.... best explanation I've heard for how to play this type of groove
You always bringing up the funk
Love the way you teach sir. I wish I had this great video education back in my day. Thanks Rob 🥁🥁👍🏾👍🏾
Yeah I can feel it! Great tip
Rob, you are outstanding! Your approach and laid back way of teaching is very effective. Thank you for your time and instruction!
I will recommend anyone looking to improve in this feel to listen to Nate Smith drums on Takuya Kuroda’s Rising Son record. Beautiful lesson Rob, thank you!
Great tip!!!!! I played along with that record last night and love it!!! It is a great and fun study on this exact subject. I appreciate the recommendation.
The best demonstration and tip. Thank you Rob!
Yesssss! I definitely needed this right now. Thank you.
Another great insight from the man RB who knows...The importance of feel👍❤️
Awesome! Grabbed a snack, watched the vid, now I'm makin' the face and even my chips are funky.
Groove you're playing reminds me of Fred Wesley - Four Play, and it don't get funkier than that.
Ha ha nice one😁lol
This will drive me crazy learning it..Love it!
Bro! That was on point. That is some valuable information for a lot of people who play the drums. R/B =Funky Rhythm, Bad @ss Blues Thank Rob Brown for that introduction! Keep up the good work. people are already getting recognition because of you .
Clean Up Woman comes to mind with that groove.
Hey Rob, in your first example, apart from some embellishments, I couldn't hear much of a difference between your 'cross' and your 'tick'. In your 'cross' section you were a little heavier on your quarter notes but that was about it. I actually thought the 'cross' section was reminiscent of a lot of method players like andy gangadeen (incognito) who apply a drum machine loop approach to their playing. Perhaps this track isnt a great example of a straight approach and a swung approach? I could be completely wrong here.
after having listened back to your track I get what you are trying to say and I get it. However perhaps more of a contrast between straight and swung is needed. I play a heck of a lot of blues shuffles (which bores me a bit although I appreciate it) and have come to really notice the difference between straight, swung and in between feels. I think after a while, the right feel is felt rather than intellectualised. It cant be taught I dont really think? Can it? Isnt it a result of listening and playing and your band mates hammering you? I dont know. Im not a red hot drummer but can hold my own. You are a fantastic educator...ad very refreshing drummer in the age of gospel ch*pa, but reality is like you said, you can swing or straight with quarter notes...listen to the other instruments in the band and get your feel from them especially if they are the arrangers, song writers, bandleaders.
Great lesson!!! I've been looked for loooooong time for someone being able to explain this topic. And now I've got another question. Everybody in a band swings, not just the drummer, right?
Absolutely!
This brought me back to the "Spang a lang" lessons ! Thanks for the tips !
Man I been watching your channel for a while and it's helped out my drumming skills a lot thanks man
Great advice! THANKS!
Thanks one more time as always 👾🥁⚡🥁
I'm feeling the bounce!!! Great video, as always!
Best instructor on RUclips.!
Thanks a lot, man 🙂✌🏾
Naw man.! Thank you! 10 years of overthinking is over now, because of you.!
Awesome tips, lessons, guidance, and all around playin' !
There’s a lot of space between those 1/8 notes and you gotta find it!
Basically add some accent on the “ and “ of every quarter note here and there for funk music add in some variations here and there to create this “ bounce feel “ .. and play in between a straight and a shuffle groove . I call it “ swunk “
Thanks, Rob, that metronome trick is brilliant! I have been a fan of swing and been playing swing and shuffles for years. I found this tip to be most useful and am looking forward to incorporating it into my practice and playing.
I wish I understood it. I tried w/the handclap which was ok but on the kit it stopped makin sense or feelin good.
I been playin one way too long I guess.
@@nukeystik I was not able to do this right away either. I had to work at it but it is worth working at. Start waaayyy slow 40bpm or so with a quarter not click and work your way up from there.
Rob, you're an awesome teacher and resource. Thank you so much! I gotta check out the merch! 😁
Love it!! How to put that Funk in the pocket just behind the beat! Should change the title of this to Swampy Rob Brown!!
Let me add something here. Honestly - is either you have it or not, and you can acquire it or improve it by listening to good stuff for years. But Rob, you sound funky even in your 'non bouncy' playing. There may be not much swing, but its still there subtly :) . Not your fault...
This is a pernicious falsehood. Most people can learn to play by focused study. It's all acquired.
You make it look so easy
Was working on improving my feel yesterday playing along to Steve Jordan and then this vid comes out! Love the vids
one of the best teachers out there
Maaaan, I had a bag of cheetos when you said, "if you have a bag of chips, put it down".
Well color me surprised, how'd you know?! Haha!
Time to bounce! Thanks Rob!🥁❤😎
Man I have been stuck in the robotic no-swing mode! Thanks man, huge help for that feel, now I'm gonna have to go to those sponsors you were talkin about haha
Ha! Im a hand drummer but this guy is the best rhythm instructor around
Oh man!!! I been waiting for this. Fix the Funk
Thanks Rob
Thanks Rob, cant imagine a world without Funk, to me its gotta feel and sound groovy or its lacking funk/soul.
Thx man! You totally articulated what’s been goin’ on in my head for years!
Great example of great teaching. Loved the “somethin shouldn’t be there face”! I laughed so hard!
‘nuther great explanation !
I love your videos. Very well presented. Nice editing. Thank you for what you do.
I've been making faces on drums for years, I just play better that way. Man, I feel that funk when I'm playing- just love it. Thanks Rob.
LOVE the YAMAHA PhX!!!! i play one too AND Paiste signature witha Pearl Sensitone 14 x 6.5 Brass Much love from New Zealand Brother
In this country, first you get the swing, then you get the bounce,
*then* you get the funk.
More bounce to that ounce!
Ooh wee dem drums sound good!
I grabbed a snack and i came back
Rob you killed with this one man!!! Let me go buy some Merch. Nothing like a good Funky Groove. More Bounce to The Once Man!!!
I had the snack and I came back…….funked up
Your cymbals sound great what are they? Great class too!
I feel it - Its like the Fedex truck sometimes you see the arrow between the ex , sometimes you don’t 👍🏼
The reason your “funk is not that funky”…….is like your junk is junkie! You made my day with that expression!
Superb sir ! Thank you immensely !!!!!!!!!!
stank face definitely helped lol
Incredible! I 'M fan fo't this groove it help me soule much fort m'y body dance drumming
Is it just me, or do you own the most bad azz cymbals ever? Dang cat they sound sooo good.
You are correct 🏆😎
I love the video man. Bouncin with the stank face for sure lol. That AF snare sounds great for the funk 💯.
The subtlety of the funk world is embodied in the P Funk!Figure it out!!!🤣🤣🤣
Nice love it. I would say though that its nice when you can push up or push down the amount of funk in the song. Use the funk as almost a long drum fill. Ebb and flow with crowd if that makes sense.
Hey Rob, stopping by to say Hi. It's been a minute. Good to see you man.
Agreed.. I would also add, to truly master the art of Funk, I would remove all of the (crutch) cymbals.. And, just play with the kit and hihats.. This will stop you
From completing a bar with a cliche crash.. That’s not funky..
Funk isn’t anything to do with what cymbals u hit lol it’s just all about feeling bro
Love this man. Thanks!
Keepin it real! Love it! ✌🥁😁
You’re a killer Rob! More I spend time with your videos, more I feel you’re a killer! I think your students are blessed!!! 🙏🏻🤟🏻
Love your style so much ! 😝🤪
Whoa i got the stankface from the groove. Stank you very much
Exactamundo!!! Dittos on all you've stated....Facts never lie..Grooves do though!! Great pocket Rob!!
