Beginner question here. How do you resolve the groupings? In my head, each exercise doesn’t naturally resolve over two bars (32 notes). Do you just finish the two bar fill at where ever you are within the groupings pattern? I hope my question makes sense. Love your videos.

Thanks Rob I have been working on these groupings since covid19 hit. What I'm doing now with them is constructing phrases . So you will come out of the phrase on the one . Anyway like you said the possibilities are endless. One of the things I like about this concept is how it can phrase over the bar line. I'm going to apply permutations to this concept and polyrhythms and metric modulation. This is the kind of stuff my brain has had stored for years but wasn't quite sure how to get it out. Its amazing once that creative bulb goes off. The possibilities are endless!
Damn that intro just reminds me so much of like Steve Gadd and Dennis Chambers i'm blown away by everything man. Kit sounds so professional... That syncopation was off the charts
Love this lesson ive done the three just a basic ghost note groove but the 5 and 7 add so much complexity and realy only take some counting and a little dynamics thanks Rob deffinitely the best drum teacher on RUclips
It’s amazing, I’ve been playing drums for 14 months and I’m still seeing new rhythms I’ve never heard of or tried. Thanks Rob, back to practice I go! 🤘😝🤘
Also, I found sometimes for a 7 not group it's really interesting to to lead a 7 stroke roll with the left hand (LLRRLRRLLRRLRR no rest straight 16th note). You can come up with some pretty off the wall sounding stuff once you get that down.
I think this is a very beneficial video. If used properly, it’s a great solo performance. Or can be a great solo performance. Really neat stuff Mr Brown.
Absolutely doing this all day on my Flamenca . Thank Rob ! The real thing is, set up a groove for two bars (one that is smooth and comfortable, experiment with plugging two bars of polrhythm in and note how the groove feels bad in the experimental section. Let your ears and body tell you when it starts to work, sit with it for a while, once it feell like a musical phrase and comfortable (as opposed to the formula and uncomfortable ) try out another idea in the second half. Modular approach to ear training and technical comfort..... nice ......all that is missing is harmony....
Yo bro Been playing 40 years and I’m still learning every day - props to you cos your content is sweet and tasty and keepin it simple and interesting for all levels Love the laid back vibe too man Keep up the good work
You are one of the few drummers I have seen using straight stands only. Is it just preference or some secret I do not know of? Great grooves. Show me a gravity blast, uhh I mean a one handed roll. Sorry my metal side gets the best of me.
if you guys know the funk song "if you have to ask" by the red hot chili peppers, the main guitar part is an odd 3-sixteenth note grouping ostinato with accents every 3rd 16th note. you can google image the sheet music for a visual.
I really enjoy your videos and always look forward to your new videos. If I could offer one piece of constructive criticism; your snare seems loud in most of your mixes, especially in this video. I like your taste, style and learn a lot from you. Thank you for all you do!
Hey Rob. Still loving your videos. Such inspiration. You have to be the best drum tutor on RUclips. One other thing. Are your T Shirts available for people in the UK? Do you ship to this side of the pond?? Thanks buddy.
Hey Rob, I noticed that your playing on the Yamaha Birdseye Maple Absolute Hybrid Kit. How easy to you are those drums to tune? I have the Yamaha Absolute Hybrid maple red autumn kit for my rock,metal,progressive rock, stuff. Can you tell me how you tune the top and bottom of your toms. My kit is a 9 piece and it sounds great. Also I have a Yamaha Live Custom Oak Kit and they definitely have a different pleasing sound than the maple kit. That one I like more for R&b, pop,Jazz,fusion music and dance music. You can see my 343 drum covers I have done on my red kit, Live Custom Oaks,Dw Collectors, Yamaha maple Customs which I don’t have any more,except for the 90s Dave Weckl Signature snare.Yamaha hip gig kit that rocks. I just want to get the most and best sound out of my Yamaha drums the Hybrid Kit. Colin
Everyone works on odd groupings in Fills and SoLOS. 😊😊😅,,, but hey,,, guess what….. they can be imbedded in Your Grooves as Well with super interesting Results…….. go do iT.😂

Great flow of ideas in the beginning- good creative player.
Favorite teacher on RUclips. Rob always explains in a way that clicks. Iv learned a ton from him in the last couple years.
I'm no newbie I've been playing for 10 years but it was nice to see these groupings explained by another fellow drummer. Nice one Rob!
Thanks Rob

As always...great info and you’re just easy to understand and cool AF.

Keep up the good work
Great as usual... thx man. Greetings from France
You 100% called me out for being distracted by that tee! 😂 Love your content man! You bring so much to the table for upcoming passionate drummers!
Your cymbals sound amazing. Been watching your videos for awhile now and each time I can't get over the sound of those cymbals. Had to comment.
Dem Paistes, man 🥞⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great lesson Mr Bob Brown! Cheers.
Thank you for this!
Rob, that was a brilliant. I don't know what say... That was really leg in door ! Thanks a lot !
Awesome drumming man! Love your solo ideas over the vamp!
Much love brother ❤️

Dig the groove.
A 5 note group sticking I've been playing lately is LRLRK. Not sure if I stole from someone but check it out it's pretty cool.

Love the way you touch the drums, so smooth, and the flow is just amazing. Brillant lesson again, as always, thanks! Greetings and props from Germany!

Reminds me of Bonham's left hand on the beginning of Rock-n-Roll.
You are Best.
I dig it bro!😎👊

Nice man...
"This guy is a wizard!" Hahahaha that one made me laugh! Thank you for the awesome videos :)
If you play this at a higher tempo, do you need to be able to do a double stroke with the left instead of 2 single strokes?
Hey Rob, which snare do you play in this video? Thx for this lesson!
What’s the difference between a fill and a phrase?
I'd like to see more grooving, like in the vein of garibaldi, marotta, chambers.
What series is the Peavey mixer?
I call this drum solo "bustin' the hell out of Dodge..."
