Hi everyone! If you're just starting out on drums, I've put together a comprehensive beginner drum book that will teach you everything you need to know. It's packed with exercises and tips that have really worked for my students. Feel free to check it out! 👉 mybook.to/nfh0uTr
I love that and will repeat that, rest = danger 😂 I used to be a violin major and remember so many times either I or someone else would play on rests and all eyes would be on whoever did it lmfao. My orchestra was great and would make light of it but lord that was still kind of embarrassing to be that person.
@Carleen everyone isn't perfect like you dude, you have to understand that. I am not a professional or anything, and I tend to miscount and mess up a lot.
Fun fact: there is a thing called a “nested tuplets”. It’s kinda hard to describe but I’ll give you an example: a septuplet inside a quintuplet inside a triplet
As a double bass player learning violin....thus is very helpful. However, as a bassist, we never ventured past level three, and my hands and eyeballs can not keep up. I'm going to keep practicing
My friend learns the drums and she sent me this video. This helps me learn to read rythms alot. Each day i get a bit further in the video without mistakes. Thankyou for making this type of video!
I did classical voice & piano in college, still do it now. Rhythm was always my weak point in sight reading and it’s good to know that that hasn’t changed LOL.
I believe one of the best exercises is to play all notes and all it's possible values including pauses, isolated before the exercises on pentagram with all notes and their possible values together. It would be a lot helpful to memorize the sounds associated with the notes. I have never seen teachers or any youtube channel teaching this. I also miss fusas, semifusas and respective pauses values, also 2/2, 3/4 and 6/8, wichh are most commonly used.
Love this! I was able to do every level decently but there were some pretty tricky parts in the last 3. If it wasnt at 60 bpm i probably would have messed up
I struggled with rhythm and that caused me to also struggle with sightreading. Now after 10 minutes, PRESTO, I'm suddenly good at sightreading now. Thanks!
Soy un aficionado al piano tengo 80 años. Estos ejercicios me sirven mucho para entender el ritmo y el pulso. Creo que esta es la parte mas dificil para mi. Muchas gracias.
Had no problems till level twelve 🥹pianist and trumpet player and rhythm personally is the hardest thing for me in music but this helped a LOT! Thank you!
It´s very very useful .One of the Best . Thanks is going to this important video maker. Music is a practices of sound of the object. I am sorry to many of music teachers tell only bla...bla..bla... theory. Now I am being very clear about the Time Signature in Music after see this video . Thanks ..!
Спасибо за это видео. Я лишь новичок и мало разбираюсь в записи, так что это видео мне очень помогает. Сейчас я лишь на 8 уровне, но с завтрашнего дня это будет моей разминкой для рук перед тем, как сесть за инструмент. Спасибо вам за этот прекрасный канал и видео
Rhythm isn’t so hard for me as rhythm mixed with other changes. So I’ve been going through this on guitar while playing leads that match the rhythms. Been a lot of fun and really helping me out
How do u guys count the sixteenth notes? Like if it’s the first note in the bar you go, 1234, if it’s the second do you go 234&, if it’s the third do you go 34&a, and so on or like what? I’m confusing myself but like I’m genuinely confused 😂
Gracias por estos ejercicios!!! Nada más salir de la uni me pongo a practicar. Me ayudan mucho a mejorar... Me gustaría mucho que suberas otro con bombo y Hit-Hat. Gracias!!!! Ojalá aumentes tus seguidores...
I messed up on levels 4,7,10,13 and 15. With level 13 being the most difficult to do. It's interesting to find what areas I struggle the most with and how that can differ between each levels
This is so challenging but also a very nice goal to reach sooner or later :) and then even speed it up. its helps me so much not only feeling note value but even more "break" values... Thank you !!
As a wildly out of practice pianist, this actually taught me a lot about how I understand sheet music! I'm definitely much more of an auditory learner than visual - I messed up a lot of the combinations within beats the first time but had them down as soon as I heard them once. Made it to level 12 before struggling, was absolutely screwed from 13 onwards.
Reallybbety kive challenging and very good to comprehend what exactly these fine four four four four that's total 16 subdivisions of a beat subdivisions of
I had never seen some of the notes past difficulty 7, I only got up to grade 3 when I was learning drums as a kid and I never realised on how much I missed out on after not playing for so long :,D
I think level 3 was actually easier than the first 2 for me haha. Maybe because the first ones were so slow it was hard for me to get a sense of the tempo
This is honestly 15 levels of reading difficulty for a drummer with maybe 6 months of playing experience. No one should think they are adequate at reading if they made it to 15 without mistakes.
i am not a musician but i play "rhythm" games, its very interesting how the parallels are on these two worlds of entertainment and how my brain tries to comprehend the notations that i barely remember to somehow "read" the "chart" the concept of chunkating notes i think do apply to both based on this video? :D (i guess? idk much) [chunking as in, grouping them in your mind to be able to be played much easier] and nonetheless, very good and challenging video!
I’m doing level 5 rn, and what level do you think would be most similar to it. I feel pretty confident bec I was able to do level 15 first try with only like 2 mistakes.

This has given me a better understanding of how specific notes work.
As always, REST = DANGER

can you explain wdym by that?
@Carleen well, ok? I guess that proves my point

Actually challenging. Did not expect this to be difficult sight-reading. Nice work!
Really good one, nice work! I was missing triplets & sextuplets a bit, but I guess the video would have been much longer including additional rhythms.
Thanks! Yes triplets would’ve made it too long, I’ll do another similar video for triplet-based rhythms I think.

@Sight Read Drums your channel is really helpfull in my 2nd year of band!
This channel is brilliant. Went through a handful of videos over a couple of half hour sessions and already seeing decent improvement.
Hehehe tuplets

You got this! I believe in you! ❤
Great job. Rhythm is the hardest aspect of reading music. Please give us another rhythm exercises video like this one!
Thanks. I plan to do lots more.
@@SightReadDrums I'm serious, I must make sure you know that your videos have helped me greatly! I appreciate you!
It's official, I suck. Time to practice
Same😅
My friend learns the drums and she sent me this video. This helps me learn to read rythms alot. Each day i get a bit further in the video without mistakes. Thankyou for making this type of video!
u also might want to expose yourself with more variety of rhythms to practice yourself more
I did classical voice & piano in college, still do it now. Rhythm was always my weak point in sight reading and it’s good to know that that hasn’t changed LOL.
it was pretty easy but then I got to level 8 and that's when I started messing up badly. Great challenge and so fun!

Good exercises, the last 3 were more challenging than I thought they would be.
Love this! I was able to do every level decently but there were some pretty tricky parts in the last 3. If it wasnt at 60 bpm i probably would have messed up
I think the 60 bpm messed me up a little I kept wanting to speed up😅
Yeah, I'm a freshman percussionist, and I can make it to level 12 comfortably, but once we hit 13, rest=bad
Made till level 10 then brain stopped braining. This is actually good rythmic sightreading my god
man im coming back to this vid after a month of casually practicing your videos, and I'm so happy my counting is so much better
So pleased to hear it's helped you improve 😀
I struggled with rhythm and that caused me to also struggle with sightreading. Now after 10 minutes, PRESTO, I'm suddenly good at sightreading now. Thanks!
As a drum player for about 5 months, I managed to get through all and this was very helpful
I tried this with flute and it really helped my breathing. Nice work!
You have no idea how useful your videos are to musicians out there!

more of this please this is incredible
Thank you so much for this. It’s really helped me play those note that was struggling with or didn’t know. Life save.
Use this video almost daily in my classroom. Thank you
Would be more challenging if silences were, well, silent
Huge thanks from a bass beginner
I cannot imagine RUclips without your videos. I'll be lost in the space.
Thank God i found your channel 🙏👍🥁🥁❤
This is proving to be an excellent way to get back into percussion for my uni years

This was lots of fun! Almost expected triplets to pop up near the end 😂
I considered adding triplets but all the triplet variations would’ve made this video too long I think 😆
@@SightReadDrums make a video like this one through triplets would be nice.
@@SightReadDrums this same exercise and triplets but with LR notations would be amazing too. im trying to do this one with paradiddles right now👍
Most of them were simple but the rest were so hard
Thank you

Made me realise how much I need to work on my rhythm 💀 Tysm
Good practice. The rests are killing me!😂
I feel much better now with the rests, thanks for the exercises!
I went into this expecting something simple, never have I been humbled so fast in my life
Very useful exercises . It's improving my sight reading!

Excelente estoy en los 15 niveles lectura a primera vista soy estudiante de batería muy buen canal
This is so awesome
Thanks for the training, made it to lvl 9, I'm just a freshman and I kinda suck so that's why 😭
Thank you so much!!! Exactly what I was looking for
This page is one of my favourite I have turned on the notification, I watch every new video of this page , superb work !!!

I found levels 13&14 easier than 12 lmao
@@Sergonizer same! Level 13-15 was quite a doozy! but I had a good time!
If you want to increase the challenge put it on 1.5x or more 😅
Thx for the video, I enjoy these a lot !
1:25 this and 2:05 this part help for me to play drum. Thank you❤
Thank you for this life changing video
I don't play on my instrument as much now as I used to but god damn.. it really makes wanna play, well done! I'll challenge myself
Times 2 speed for extreme difficulty 😈
Those last 4 were insane no cap
great exercise. Would love to have some rhythm changes and harder difficulty levels.
This i will come back to every day
Excellent exercise. Something like this with a swing feel would be great
Good suggestion, I’ll add to my list
That helped me improve on all my notes
no problem copying the rhythm just figuring out how to count it correctly
so glad my music degree is going towards something
yeah doing drumline for 4 years definitely carried me through this 😅

Ok. I've mastered them all. Well, 97% on #15. 🥁😸
I’m a drummer, this was light work

Nice man this gonna help with my gallops a ton!

yeah it’s good however giving it a go at double the speed
simply the best videos of its kind to learn rhythm
Thank you for this, I definitely struggle with sight reading and this is helping lol
Brilliant for beginners like me.
I got it perfectly until level 7 or so. I couldn't really keep up after level 13.
I messed up on 11!
Great work bud. help to clear things up for me.
Super nice
A very useful video! 👍
i am not a musician but i play "rhythm" games,
its very interesting how the parallels are on these two worlds of entertainment and how my brain tries to comprehend the notations that i barely remember to somehow "read" the "chart"
the concept of chunkating notes i think do apply to both based on this video? :D (i guess? idk much)
[chunking as in, grouping them in your mind to be able to be played much easier]
and nonetheless, very good and challenging video!
This is amazing! Thank you!
Pretty easy but good job. 5 years of percussion study and these were all so easy. Do you have any harder one?
Thank you
Level 15 is kind of easy once you’ve done NYSSMA level 6 instrumental sight reading rhythms 😂 those things are INSANE
I’m doing level 5 rn, and what level do you think would be most similar to it. I feel pretty confident bec I was able to do level 15 first try with only like 2 mistakes.
Really good Note 🎶👍
Ok I give up, I can follow well up until 13, I don't even have any musical training nor know how I got here
This is great! new sub
Thanks I appreciate it!
Thanks
So much thanks
As a band director and a French horn player I’m a little embarrassed that the off beats at level 14 are what got me
Thank you for the video and thank you for the marker . It helps alot. 🙂
Tanks
I'm about to graduate with a Master's in Jazz and made 3 total errors. Back to the shed lol
Great exercise. Thanks.
Great ! Thanks a lot 🙏🙏
わかりやすい、イイネ😊
excelente!! Losultimos estan dificiles pero con practica todo sale!!
