3:04 is that Rosanna by Toto?
Is this exercise good for a lefty who want’s to be righty?
Absolutely! Just flip the sticking
I had to smile when you talked about slipping the kicks between the hands. I was playing around with the six-stroke roll and put the singles between the doubles and it struck me that that could be a groove...so I've been working on it. I'm pretty sure somebody else has done that...but I just haven't come across that. Anyway, I love the idea of mixing up licks and or rudiments...I'm just getting into inverting...
Thanks Dave. This is very helpful. Cheers! ♫♪♫
You are very welcome

いつも素晴らしいレッスンありがとう👍わかりやすくて為になります!応援してます
Grrrrrreat content, thanks a lot!! What app do you use to write down the music?
Man there is something about Sonor Drums. They just sound so damn good!
Dang, theres some GREAT things in this video, thanks dude I may have to sign up for your Stick Control course.
You'd be welcome. Join the waitlist and then its up to you! There will be a preview going out to the waitlist on Monday along with the release and the discount.
just subbed
Welcome in!
I can see from your hands and interpretation that you are a natural drummer / musician! Who in your family gave that to you from their genes??
My dad dabbles in a tonne of instruments and so I got it from him. I actually only started because he got a kit for his xmas and I 'borrowed it' 😂
Very nice. Love it Dave 🔥👌🏽🎶🥁
Thanks bro
いつも素晴らしいレッスンありがとう👍あなたは最高の先生でもあり最高のドラマーです👍
❤️👊
My foot needs to be faster for this to work. Maybe keep playing with my beater adjustment too.
Its all about reps. The RLKK inversion exercise is great for you foot speed so focus on that and youll see a real improvement.
Subbed.... Thanks so much!
Thanks for the sub!
Awesome vid, thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Really enjoyed this one mate. Very well presented too!
Thanks a ton!
Like your exercises. How long do recommend students do them? 3 min.? 5 min.? 10 min.?
Thanks. Any exercise...maximum of 5 minutes. But you can stack numerous exercises together. Within those 5 mins you can increase the tempo if you feel relaxed. This goes for any non musical exercise as well euch as kick drum builders or motion exercises. Then repeat every day until you reach your goal tempo
Great work Dave. Systematic layers of immersion- clear and concise; well done keeping this under 17mins! I’m trying to source those tracks used in the improv, obliged if you’re able to clarify.
that kick drum 😍
Glad you like it Been working on tuning over the last couple of months. 👊
marching percussion (battery) would call this a gridding exercise and I strongly agree. This is how you move around with shape and depth. With out dynamics and thougtful accent placment its just a block pattern. This video is a gem for alot of mono drummers of all types
How do you think the steel Kompressor compares to a Sonor PAD14 14x6.5 snare drum (Panther Series 1987) or SONOR D-506 - Phonic Series Ferro-Manganese Steel 14x6.5 Snare Drum (1989-1996)?
Honestly no idea mate. Havent played those drums before but id imagine its hold up really well. Its a great drum
The Kompressor is a great drum. The ferro snares have a slightly thicker and warmer tone. They’re less snappy and have less top end than a typical steel shell. The Kompressor gives the classic steel snap and bite that you might want. Both are just as good, but different.
Brilliant, thank you :)
Thanks, Dave! I am attending my first drum camp in a couple of weeks and I am so nervous about my doubles, which are maybe a 2 out of 5. I am going to crank these exercises out daily until Camp….we’ll see how it goes!!
Thanks sir
I resonate so much with that moment that you slightly goofed up and went "AHHHHH" with a smile haha! I was smiling right along with you. Loved this video!
Dave,I’ve seen Steve Smith do a clinic in the exact same concept. As your a fan of New Breed if you read 1 2 3A/B (or Chuck Kerrigans book)and turn every figure into a flam followed by the same hand and singles as the joiners you get a lot more variations instead of just randomly switching from stickings plus the students learn to read and understand phrasing and not numbers. I’ve done a video on this but taking it a bit further and flattening out the flams. Check it out !
Vary Nace. I am 70 years old. Play nearly every day. Great smooth vibe. Groove
1 out of 5, but I only started 5 months ago. Will be adding all three of these to the routine
Nice video Dave very concise! Keep up the good work!
Thanks my man 👊👊
Thanks for taking the time to explain, really helpful for anyone working on their 'flow'❤
You are welcome. I have another video coming soon all about flow so keep an eye out for that. Glad you liked the video
This is not talked about enough, I made a mistake of playing my first year all heel up and burying the beater. I’m now trying to do a hybrid of heel up and heel down and practicing not burying the beater. It feels weird when you’re used to doing it only one way.
I think every technique has its place and we should strive to be comfortable with all of them. They each have their own strengths and weaknesses
I could have sworn it was only 96%… but who wants to split hairs?
😂
Drumming is all about repetition.
Listen
Nice vid. Although I do agree in how you're breaking this down, I do believe this is just elaborating on the same pattern and still in the "box". I always suggest to truly free yourself of the pattern, to learn to not just switch up accents and sound sources (cymbals/drums/etc) but to literally LEAVE THE PATTERN. I suggest that once you've internalized, to practice playing the pattern the first half of the fill and then go into something else to end it. And switch that up, start by playing whatever and then end using that pattern. So on and so forth. Throw in the middle of a fill only playing a pattern once etc. I think this is where a lot of online teachers and teachers in general get it wrong because they're in a creating content mindset but in the expression mindset, you want to just have whatever pattern to bring out at random times, not just starting the fill and repeating the pattern x4 or however many times. Switching accent is great but it doesn't free you of the pattern is my point. Lastly, I mean no offense. Great video you put out here. I'm only making suggestions.
I think you miss the point here. The video demonstrates 3 tools you can apply to break from playing the same things the same way every time. With these 3 tools you have the opportunity to create and be free(er) but this isnt the end of the journey its a big step. The end, imo, is to play in any subdivision and any time signature totally flowing freely and creating the stickings on the fly. I have other videos on that and a whole course all about improvisation and developing that ability. This video forms a small part of the whole concept I teach to my students but putting the whole thing in a youtube video a) would be too long and b) would not reach as many people. As a drum teacher who makes videos as well I have to balance making impactful and helpful videos that also will do as well as they can.
Awesome material Dave. Well done mate.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video! 🔥 Was the intro inspired by Benny Greb’s Sample Library ad? 😂 Thank you, these are very helpful. 🙌
My homage
I’m a beginner drummer who predominantly plays metal/rock and I’m trying to throw gospel into the mix. It really breaks it up for me and gives me extra strings to my bow 🤘🏻
Different genres and styles always help you open up your playing
@@DaveMajor certainly does. I’m 57 years old and I’m pretty sure it’s taking me longer to learn than it would’ve had I been younger. Will I ever be as good as ii ffff sleep token? Nope, but I’m having a blast.
And thats all that matters. Have fun, enjoy the process and smack a china cymbal or two for good measure!
great lesson Dave, you are a tremendous help to drummers at all levels . keep em coming
Thanks, will do!
Hey Dave, very nice video - I really like your style, passion and effort you put into! I know exactly how much work and time a video like this costs (I do drum videos in German). Keep up your good work and how can I get a date with the therapist?! 😜🥁 All the best!
Thanks my man The therapists door is always open!
@@DaveMajor Ok, I'll definitely need that after the next weekend - my next drum camp is coming up! 😅 All the best Dave!
Same to you and have a great camp
@@DaveMajor Thank you Sir! 🥁❤
If you feel stuck in the pattern trap then you can break free by joining www.davemajormusic.com See you in there Dave
Try other genres is good to open your horizon, jazz, latin, metal etc.
Absolutely! The more perspectives you get in drumming and life the better youll be
Nice lesson, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
