This was a great lesson, just a great introduction to 4/5 (second place to take five for me ;). Love how you show a lot of musical applications immediately... Wonderful taste sir, you're the best, Peace out.

[@vmdrums_]

Wow! Thank you so much for the feedback Nils. I’m glad you got something out of this lesson and I hope I can continue bringing applicable content to this platform

[@JT-si6bl]

Boss levels of groove IQ!

[@SaltWaterDrums]

That was honestly clearer and made more sense than some of the Drumeo videos I've watched. Recently started exploring odd time signatures because I love funk and jazz, this will help immensely. Thanks!

[@vmdrums_]

Wow!! Thank you so much! I’m happy to hear that it helped you and good luck with the odd time practice! ✊🏽🔥

[@sedelmann]

Cool staff!

Vinson your funk beat on 5/4 time changed my life 🎶 musically I was tired of the James Brown funk beat i was asking God to show me something different with more flavor he let me find you after I learned 🎶 that groove from you it helped me step up Big time Thank you if I can do anything to help you I play bass i can thump and I also play guitar 🎸 too i am grateful 🙏 for how that beat gave more confidence on drums if you were at my home i would be honest I would tell people I learned a lot from this brother I would get off my Pearl set let you play them go to bass or guitar 🎸 thats how much respect I have for you right now I am a prince on drums you are the king Bass and Guitar 🎸 I am more flavored Drums I am good enough to gig with them if I came across you playing i would definitely 👍 give you props and tell people l got better by listening to 5/4 funk luck and how you made triplets come alive Thank you Vinson

Hello sir. Very creative and funky. I am the one who played the video called "Awesome 5/8 Groove". I have some other stuff in 5/8 also, but none of mine is this funky.

[@vmdrums_]

Thanks Hadria!✊🏽

[@jmgreenf]

Thanks for sharing man...you are quite talented!!!

[@vmdrums_]

Thanks Joseph! I really appreciate your feedback!

[@petarpavasovic6333]

Awesome lesson! Can you make content like this more frequent? By the way that little snare of yours is absolute fire, man! I'm encouraging the decision of making it your primary snare!

[@vmdrums_]

Petar, my man! Good to hear from you! Yes I can and will make content like this more frequently. Currently drawing up more lesson ideas! You and I must be on the same wavelength because I was re-watching this video a few days like, "Yeah I need to make this baby the main!"

[@ibunkatraining]

Really nice explainer video! Let's hear you in a band.

[@lukesuperflyjones]

DUDE this was Siiiiick bro! thanks for making this for us. My band (Los Syringas) is working on a bridge part that has 5/4 time signature in it. THIS will be perfect to learn especially the Nasty Nilles ahah also your an INCREDIBLE drummer!

[@vmdrums_]

Thanks a ton brother! Glad this video helped you out and be sure to shoot me that link when you guys finish that song. I’d love to hear it!✊🏽

[@moonalsolake]

Great video, Vinson!
Your hi-hat sounds great. Can you tell me which one you’re using here?

[@vmdrums_]

Yeah sure! 14” Meinl Byzance Vintage Sand Hats from the Benny Greb series

[@Flashback_Jack]

SKIIIILLLLZ!

[@TaxinGigs]

Great video. May I ask what snare drum you're using in this video?

[@skekenvdlaovwudlmssvhdidmw7825]

👍🏻👊🏻🔥

[@vmdrums_]

Thanks Diljar! Always appreciate the support!

[@ModernLove100]

I was playing something like this at school saying it's 5/4, then the teacher started playing Dave Brubeck on the piano to my beat in order to check if it was really 5/4 😂🤦‍♂️

[@clouds7705]

[@danusiabeatz]

I wanna know the lick at .30 haha... your page deserves more subscribers :)

[@vmdrums_]

Hey Danusia! Sorry I'm so late responding to this, but I'm thankful for your kind words and support. I'll break that fill down on instagram soon. How does that sound??

[@danusiabeatz]

@@vmdrums_ sounds great, thanks!!

[@lightwarp_]
