I am a 57 year old drummer who has been obsessed with Domi and JD Beck the past two months! THANK YOU so much Brandon for this extremely informative lesson. You cracked the code dude! Now I am obsessed with Brandon Scott videos. You are an awesome teacher, you broke it down perfectly to the point that I just called in work (day job) to practice my new JD Beck Technique. You are a very good teacher sir. THANK YOU !
Dude, I'm 61 myself and JD is like the best player I've heard in years This video does a great job of breaking it down. How do these kids come to be such badasses? Makes me very happy.
@@stephenpaulharper Similar to people like Tony Williams who was playing with Miles Davis at 17. Kids today have been playing to programmed beats that just were not a thing when us old blokes were his age.
I saw your comment and had to say that I'm 65, a keyboard player and because of Domi, I've been inspired to get practicing again. Both JD and Domi are the future. No grande visual antics or exaggerated physical movement on the drums. It's all in his wrists, and Domi's playing is inspiring. Yes, I'm with you Mr FusionHowie. My best wishes from Yorkshire England.
Fuckin love the conceptual approach to this, so much better than just a transcription of a lick. Shows drummers how to actually use this shit to make a vocabulary
I love how you break it down into pieces. Its something everyone should do. Learn patterns that can be turned to groove. This is how you develop your own sound.
I've been somewhat almost obsessively fascinated with JD Beck's playing for some time now, but I don't play drums but I really want to, I just can't afford them yet. So thanks for this. Dude, the guy has been playing like 24/7 since he was like 5 years old. It makes sense that he's as good as he is but it's still really absurd. So it's a prowess for you to figure this stuff out. Great job
You could buy a practice pad (or two), this will let you start working on rudiments to get the coordination of your limbs going as well as a feel for the sticks. If you're in school you could also try joining band/music class to get some time on drums
This video helped me discover JD Beck. Wow! He’s phenomenal....a true prodigy. Blows my mind what amazing sounds he gets from so few pieces on the kit.
I think a big part of his playing is that he does NOT hit hard. He's a tight, but dynamically soft player, very similar to DJ from Khruangbin. That's why Domi sits right next to him when they're playing together. He's not SLAMMING the drums.
Great video. You simply nailed it. Garibaldi had made it popular long time ago in funk. It's simply paradiddle concepts around the kit. Experienced drummers master different variations since Buddy Rich. Your explanation is very simple and the best I've found do far. Very easy to understand for most drummers. Beck masters it at lightning speed, very tightly and in a creative way.
Really? I'm kinda shocked. Always known about them (12 years playing) but only recently started feeling comfortable using them myself. They definitely feel pretty awkward still
@@androidntknd4675 It's pretty much never done in rock/pop drumming. It's a jazz thing. So it makes sense that someone wouldn't have used it even if they play regularly.
When you play the first groove slowly it sounds almost like an afrobeat groove, which gives the whole thing some funk. I think that’s part of what makes his playing give you that stank face!
Mr. Scott your video lessons are very useful, i congratulate you for your naturale ability to explain and demonstrate with the tool, it has an extraordinary effectiveness, thank you very much, a greeting from Italy by Daniele.
gosh i‘m so in love with your editing - it‘s like a cinematic travel vlog filled with memes, but it‘s a drum tutorial video - love the extra effort u put in 🔥🔥
Clicked on this video and saw your name and face and had a strange feeling I knew you from somewhere. Took me a second until I realized I watched all of your BTBAM covers like 8 years ago. Gave me some major nostalgia haha. Anyways, great vid!
Cool lesson. I've watched this one multiple times. JD Beck has a really unique style. It's always good to add another weapon to your drum arsenal. Peace.
Thank you for sharing usefull stuff and not flooding the internet with more chops like if there are not enough already.. I mean.. nothing against chops but.. you know ♥️
Great stuff there...alternating A and B is like some kind of paradiddle incorporating the feet, i noticed just practicing single stokes between right hand and left foot helps for speed, takes time though to get speed... i dont even bother about getting the backbeat inside, just try getting smooth with A and B....
Great video man! Been obsessed about JD's playing lately. I was wondering, in that little beat that goes on in 4:40 mark there's a filler roll that ends with a bass drum in between the phrases. What is the sticking exactly? Is it just a single stroke roll? Thanks alot
Really cool man. Amazing job. He plays what inside him. Easy (for him, he's a genius of course). But you can see inside her and put it outside, that's more difficult I think. Thanks.
Thanks thanks for the dissection and closer look at JD's licks. Umm what's are some of your signature style's and licks? If you have a few to highlight.Thanks
That was excellent gives some ideas in teaching. Hey could you do the same w Gerschon Eisenhauer? He has some really nice adaptions of drum n bass variations he also has amazing dynamics. He plays his snare wire up!.
another signature of leaning to play like JD is learning how to play in a different time signature. Most of their music is in 9/8, or 5/4, or 11/8, etc.
Parabéns pelo trabalho extremamente produtivo, didático e simples de entender. Pesquiso bastante técnicas de bateria e é muito difícil encontrar um estodo como o seu simples de entender e de uma eficácia incrível. Parabéns!!! Dinaldo - Pernambuco Brasil.👏👏👏👏
great lesson. sadly my td11's hihat pedal is dead, so i changed it to - r r l l (instead of H r l l), even cooler as - r R l l. Right hand on hihat ofc :) Sound awesome and very fun to play try it!
what makes JD Beck special is he's so small that he can fit entirely inside the pocket
😅😅
Lol
That's the best comment I've read today.
This was fucking hilarious
Hahaha!
The fact that there are videos analysing the instrumental language of a 16 years old that looks half his own age is amazing
Facts. His timing was perfect. He came out with a whole group of musicians that were on the rise
there’s no way this guy is 32
the spungolator he is 16 years old I think the comment’s trying to say he looks 8
My thoughts exactly
the spungolator lmao you smart huh?

"We haven't put any inanimate objects in the snare drum yet"
Made my day ♥️
@@jonathanreddish8590 I use lizards.
Jonathan Reddish You get that cat off your snare!
🤣
I prefer gecs
Didn’t know who jd beck was before this vid, then I found out he was a kid and I cried
my favorite thing that JD Beck does is THE METRIC MODULATION!!! He completely switches the feel
Which video is that?
Yeah, which video is that?
he does it here ruclips.net/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/видео.html

@@coragon42 thanks! I'll watch it again. I wasn't paying attention.
legit the biggest coincidence I've been binge watching his stuff for the last week dudes a beast
Alec Williams I know, I made this video just for u.

This is super cool! You should do this kind of thing but for Louis Cole :o
Check Louis's recent video where he shows few of his grooves himself - ruclips.net/video/6OJHDJdplcY/видео.html
@ToeJ Yep and play every other instrument, compose a song, write lyrics and sing.
@ToeJ """""""any""""""""" multi-instrumentalist.
ToeJ damn hater alert
Youre a brilliant drummer to be able to break it down like you did. But now you just spawned an army of JD Becks
"What's up drumheads" makes me a big smile every time 😅🔥
Dawid Czogała HAHA glad to brighten your day :) thanks for watching!
What makes your videos so unique is that not only do you provide awesome content, you entertain. You crack me up. You made my day.
this was probably the most useful tutorial I've seen.
breaking it up into pieces like that makes it so much more digestible
Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏼 I’m always trying to find more simplistic ways of thinking about things.
Duuuude D+B is crazy groovy
I play congas and have been intimidated by the drums...but JD Beck and this video has been inspirational...I'm going to practice this now...
I've been noodling around on drums on and off for like 17 years and I've never used a hi hat foot as a down beat like that. Man I've been missing out
Yeah seriously? It seems huge
Really? I'm kinda shocked. Always known about them (12 years playing) but only recently started feeling comfortable using them myself. They definitely feel pretty awkward still
Ever heard of Steve gadd
@@androidntknd4675 It's pretty much never done in rock/pop drumming. It's a jazz thing. So it makes sense that someone wouldn't have used it even if they play regularly.
YO BRANDON that peanut butter made the groove tasty, keep killin brother.
Heh, nice
Might not be so tasty for people with a nut allergy
As a drum programmer, I love your philosophy; as a drum player, I am constantly in awe of Drum Players
Finally someone did this video!! Thank you man (1 dislike is from Louis Cole)
he also loves to do this little flutter kick drum. it’s super hard to pull off but if ur able to do somethin close it sounds super cool.
When you play the first groove slowly it sounds almost like an afrobeat groove, which gives the whole thing some funk. I think that’s part of what makes his playing give you that stank face!
Mr. Scott your video lessons are very useful, i congratulate you for your naturale ability to explain and demonstrate with the tool, it has an extraordinary effectiveness, thank you very much, a greeting from Italy by Daniele.
Yes, you are the greatest Brandan Scott drummer you can be. Excellent "Lego" breakdown. Thank you!
gosh i‘m so in love with your editing - it‘s like a cinematic travel vlog filled with memes, but it‘s a drum tutorial video - love the extra effort u put in 🔥🔥
I've been watching all your videos for the past 6 days. This will be my 7th day. hahaha
Hahaha that is amazing. I'm honored to be providing you with entertainment during quarantine.
awesome video! appreciate the mindset and building from these ideas into your own unique sound
Nicely done dude!
The use of the left foot on the hi hat is something that never would have occurred to me. That’s neat.
If you add a bass beat over the top of the first R in C, it gives you a nice left foot right foot motion that makes it easier, at least for me.
If I had stayed long enough to watch the bonus session I would have seen that you beat me to my suggestion, but I was too excited to run and practice.
Clicked on this video and saw your name and face and had a strange feeling I knew you from somewhere. Took me a second until I realized I watched all of your BTBAM covers like 8 years ago. Gave me some major nostalgia haha. Anyways, great vid!
yeah! good exercise !! i try it now!! bye from Italy 🥁🇮🇹
Dude you are. LEGIT. Sick. What a nice sounding kit to boot. That inanimate object thing is freakin genius too.
Was just trying to find something to work on today. Thanks Brandon 🤙🏻🔥
Anything for you Ben. :)
Cool lesson. I've watched this one multiple times. JD Beck has a really unique style. It's always good to add another weapon to your drum arsenal. Peace.
A new Brandon Scott upload makes the day better
Thanks for breaking this down mate!
You are amazing and very well organized! SUBBED*
Super informative! As a bass player I'm kind of interested to see how this method of "improvisation" could transfer to other instruments..
Saw the peanut butter and then almond butter and was like, "That's from Woolworths." Thanks for bringing your talent to SA!
This was a very smart way to go about making this video. I completely agree with your philosophy.
Great lesson to watch. Every idea is super clear and easy to follow. Thanks for shearing this!
Love how you laid this out for us. THANKYOU!
Finally, the video I’ve been waiting for
Idk who JD Beck is but I'm super excited to look him up
Thank you for sharing usefull stuff and not flooding the internet with more chops like if there are not enough already.. I mean.. nothing against chops but.. you know ♥️
Great lesson once again!!
Yes! JD! can't wait for the album to drop. Been waiting for months😅
step 1. You're going to want to bring your spaceship into a low Earth orbit
Thank's a lot Brandon. Greetings from Germany and all the best!:-)
Love these little groove morsels! The open hi-hat is something Nate Smith uses too ... requires some clean chops but it's worth it!
JD Beck is from a different planet. Great breakdown man
Saw "her" kill it at the Hollywood Bowl this summer...
Great stuff there...alternating A and B is like some kind of paradiddle incorporating the feet, i noticed just practicing single stokes between right hand and left foot helps for speed, takes time though to get speed... i dont even bother about getting the backbeat inside, just try getting smooth with A and B....

this is the perfect lesson for me. Subscribed for sure. Love your approach
Great lesson!
That almond butter sound is my jam tho!
Actual living legend 🤘 thankyou bro ❤
Amazing lesson man! Thank you for filming this
"C is gonna be like your backbeat"
...okay
"and then C is the backbeat"
YES!!
Thanks thanks for the dissection and closer look at JD's licks. Umm what's are some of your signature style's and licks? If you have a few to highlight.Thanks
You Nailed it, excellent Job!
That was excellent gives some ideas in teaching. Hey could you do the same w Gerschon Eisenhauer? He has some really nice adaptions of drum n bass variations he also has amazing dynamics. He plays his snare wire up!.
I am subscribed now. You are encouraging and a great teacher!! Thank you sir
Excellent lesson, Brandon!
Thats incredible, always wondered how tf he plays like that. Thanks man! Time to hit the shed
Just found your channel because of this video, love the way you tech man. got my sub
Solid lesson, man!
So cool brandon! Nice one!

Great video man! Been waiting for something like this
Thanks so much, you awesome too,...this lesson is to open my mind, thanks again
So, linear drumming, nice, this is Gary Chafee! Thanks for the info...
I'm a big fan of the peanut butter on the snare. I find it gives more of a crunch than the almond
Amazing lesson man! Thanks so much! 😁
Ive never wanted to sound like jd beck but here i am watching this video
Nailed it. Nailed it my friend.
Sounds completely Gadd to me. Great refresh.
great lesson. sadly my td11's hihat pedal is dead,
so i changed it to - r r l l (instead of H r l l), even cooler as - r R l l. Right hand on hihat ofc :)
Sound awesome and very fun to play try it!
Hey dude I thank you for this
duuuuuude.....pufff mindblown
Thanks Brandon!!! Thanks for the breakdown!
Really great content! Subscribed!
Reminds me of Jojo Mayer's deconstruction reconstruction approach some years ago.
This tutorial is fun and useful. Love it
this is incredible! nice teaching! subscribed
Fun fact about almonds:
Almonds are not peanuts.
also, Almonds are Almond.
Now you know.
Hahaha put something object on snare - simply 😂 really amazing lesson!
