    Man, it sucks that this guy doesn't do videos anymore. Some of the best, most straight forward stuff on RUclips. And he legitimately might have the best sounding drums I've ever heard. Great player too!

    Here's how I was finally able to do this comfortably:
    After many failure attempts for the first groove, I realized something with my independence is wrong. So I put my pad infront of me and I started doing double strokes. As I was doing so, I accented the second note of each double. Easy peasy still, I know. Then I tried adding a foot on each unaccented note (the first note of each double) and that's when I realized that THAT! is the reason I couldn't do the groove. I COULDN'T PLACE MY FOOT ON AN UNACCENTED NOTE!
    Took it reeeaal slooow. Just double strokes, second notes accented and a bass drum on the unaccented.
    You do that and I guarantee you, the first groove will be peace of cake to achieve

    Awsome Lesson Austin! Very clear. I love the idea of teaching the strong vs the weak beats on the bass drum without losing the groove of the hi-hat... then trying to make the weak beats feel just as good as the strong beats. Nicely done. Definitely gonna share this with my students.

    Every video I've seen Austin publish has been enough above my skillset to push me past my current ability. I thought I had my 1/2 X shuffle solid. I've never put the bass only/all the ah's before, and it humbled me instantly. I still use his practice pad warmup before I begin practicing. I look forward to more videos. Thanks for taking the time to put to put these lessons up!

    Austin, thx for a focused drum lesson. I'm a resurrected drum player after a 50 year hiatus, and now retired playing for pleasure and as a Hobby. This is great tip for coordination of hand and foot. My goal is to be able to equal the caliber of my playing to the level of say, Dino Danelli (Rascals). I play each day, to My Music : Petty, Mellencamp, CCR, Stones, Beatles, Cars, Shaw Blades, Capton, Melissa E., Eagles even Linda Ronstadt( probably the original Diva.....She was damn good and her studio band [some of whom beca e The Eagles], and more....basic Rock. Playing Music is a real pleasure in life. So I try to keep it enjoyable and not let it get to me by frustrating me. Be well all, halpy drumming.

    Great content as always Austin. This is something I’ve really been focusing on lately. Not only trying to eliminate flaming between my limbs but trying to sharpen my ears so that I can lock up a band in this way. For years I never realized that I had been neglecting such a crucial aspect of making a band sound good. Once I started getting chewed out by band leaders on paying gigs I realized I had to do some maintenance. I’d love to hear your take on listening intently to the players around you to eliminate flamming within a band mix.

    Austin, these exercises are a great way of isolating the difficulty in many grooves that I’ve struggled with. Hopefully they will get my 16th note stuff to a level that I’ll be comfortable enough to not concentrate so much and let it flow more. I’ve been watching your videos for a while and I don’t normally comment on stuff, but I gotta acknowledge the value of your video here.

    Great idea. thanks for sharing. Always enjoy your posts. Another idea on the first exercise could be to run down say the first page of Stone, playing the BD where the left (or right) hand is notated, to give some more patterns to shed (e.g., what you showed would be the first two exercises of the first page of stone...with the BD playing the RH notes only, and keeping the HH going throughout and snare on 2 and 4). Keep up the great work!
