The kid and his cymbal drop is actually an amazing case of good reaction ; for those who don't know, he ends up saluting, which is great. I mean... everyone under this original video tells it's a perfect reaction/adaptation. He couldnt do anything with only one cymbal, so he puts the last one on the floor, then poses while saluting the anthem until the end of the music. He does not deserve to be treated as bah example.

@@Tennessee17 The knot that ties the strap on the symbol came loose, so no. It happens frequently because most of these symbols, especially in smaller school districts, are decades old and falling apart and the band doesn't have a high enough budget to replace them, so they just tie it again and hope for the best, even though everyone knows that it's going to happen again eventually. It's so common that there are specific instructions on what to do if your symbol breaks in the middle of a song, especially for marching band and the national anthem. For concert band, you normally have a backup if things go wrong. At least, my band did.

Holy shit. Your skills. Speaking in front of the camera, drums and editing. Definitely one of the best videos I've seen this year.

Same thing with me, I started drumming half a year ago (22y) and I deliberately applied all those practice tips (along ones from the Gabe's video) right at the start of my drumming journey. I just thought that if I'm doing something, might as well do it right and the more effective way. Started on practice pad with metronome, then got e-kit and found a good teacher. Then, after few months created my own band (with more experienced players than me, obviously) to get some real experience with playing and honest feedback about how much I currently suck. For some reason rudiments and slow deliberate practice are not "boring" for me as it might be for the most beginners - I don't need to be on drum kit whole time, I just love the process drumming, no matter the surface - simple as that.. It brings so much joy just to practice with metronome, working on my time and overall skills not only for my sake, but also for the sake of my band. I don't want to be flashy/choppy showoff, but instead, solid foundation of the band which will elevate playing of other band members and make everyone feel good. Already got coached by our (now ex) bassist that I should "just play with songs only", ignore all the (and I quote) "useless things like rudiments" and instead learn some "practical skills like ghost notes". He also advised to learn as many grooves/fills as possible as #1 priority, which I don't agree with personally. What's the point of knowing a lot if you can't play that 1 simple groove solid with proper timing for whole song? Sorry for the long ramble. :D just glad that I've been able to apply most of the tips since the start, so I know i'm on the right path!

A beginner's journey is never easy. I wish the best to all who embark on it. Great work!

As a film editor...your video transitions are fire

Learning to play to a metronome is so important. Especially when you go into the studio. I had never played to a metronome until my band went into the studio. But from then on I lived by it.

DBO, HEARING PROTECTION! Drums are loud, but I still have my hearing after 45 years drumming because my teacher told me to protect my ears. Also, I can't stress good mechanics enough. I see self taught drummers with terrible mechanics who get blisters, sore wrists, sticks and arms flailing about, that will have shortened careers due to injury. After 45 years, I've never had a problem because I was taught proper grip, posture, and mechanics in the beginning.

Gabe these videos just keep getting better and better. I wish I had intentionally practiced more, because like you, I used to just do what was comfortable and expected to just get better. It didn’t happen! Just the month I’ve been doing your lessons and now a member of DBO academy, my drumming has grown so so much! Thank you!

Edit: Gotta love autocorrect these days right? 😆 Anyways, quick update on my own personal progress. I’ve been playing for just over a month and I’ve had significant improvement in everything from playing off beat stuff to keeping a steady beat utilizing the metronome and it’s been nothing short of a blast doing it. I practice roughly 16 hours a week so I really wanna try and sustain this type of schedule I’ve got going on atm. I also want to mention that the drumming community is absolutely fucking awesome too, btw! Really cool people here and I truly mean that. There’s a TON of inspiring drummers on KZread alone and I’ve seen a significant amount of positive feedback and just overall great vibes throughout.

So now I promise to be more focused and use the keys to practice what I can control. Thanks and looking forward to the next video.

Excellent and very complete video: not only you give good tips, but everything that you say is exactly how I feel as a beginner. Thank you so much!

Awesome video. Love the transitions. 100% agree with all the tips.

Intentional practice is so crucial! Literally paramount to success. All the greats (or just anyone who got good at something) did deliberate practice (another word for it). They chose the thing they were the worst at and worked on it until it was their best. I have a note as a reminder for my practice sessions: May my practices be meaningful, challenging, uncomfortable, long (sometimes), boring, and well thought out.

I've been playing for 10+ years, and I've only recently started paying attention to the aspects you mentioned in the video. Really wish I'd done that ten years ago, better late than never !

I don't think people will realise how true this is. I've been drumming since I was 6 years old and over the years i came up with these one too. The importance of practice, of playing with a metronome to be tight, switching from focus on speed to groove For the mistake reactions, i've always did it instinctly but i realised how cool it could look when a stick slipped my hand in the final fill of the song at a show and i finished with my bare hand on the bass tom and i could see the pride of my drum teacher

The production on this video is crazy good! Great info as always.

Your videos have been unreal as of late man . The transitions are amazing, and makes it very engaging for viewing. Cheers dude

Your video production is impressive without becoming the most important element. Kudos for that. Also, you have a very engaging personality and explain yourself very well. Finally, and most importantly, the points you make are spot on. Each one resonates to me and should to everyone who watches this video. Being a teacher for more than 50 years and having the opportunity, along with Joe Porcaro, to design a curriculum for the public sphere, this is the kind of information that we used to develop the step by step way to learn how to play correctly, appropriately and musically. Thanks for putting this together.

Your lessons are so well done!

This is a great video. There was a certain beat i was just not able to play. I suddenly decided to play it at a slower bpm for not even a few mins and suddenly i was able to play the beat at its normal bpm. SLOWING IT DOWN ALWAYS HELPS
