*Yea, I know. Wuddup with the Saturday upload?! 🤨It's been a pretty busy week, man. I have a lot of music to learn for a couple upcoming things so the prep has been eating up a lot of my time this week, but I still wanted to get something out for y'all. So check out this hopefully helpful lesson on how you can improve the strength, feel, effectiveness and confidence of your groove. Don't forget to share it if you dig it!* ✌🏽😎#GrooveResponsibly

A couple of things: 1. Your technique is immaculate 2. Your sticks obviously are getting a lot of love 3. Beauty in the groove is truly in the subtleties 4. Playing drums is like martial arts. Relax and flow 5. Traditional grip is awesome 6. That is the coolest Van Halen shirt I have ever seen; and I am not a big VH fan (although Alex is an amazing drummer) 7. I don’t have a pulse, but I am not dead; I am merely a meat popsicle (refer to 5th element) That is all. Keep on continuing to groove responsibly y’all. 👍

Rob, your making me play drums at 8:00pm, I don't have a soundproof room, cheers.

Rob has the groove I aspire to!

Rob one of the things i like the most about the way you teach is that you don't show any ego, I feel like I'm learning from a friend, keep up the good work brother.

Saw this 3 years too late! I totally agree about the hi hat technique for pulse, ghost notes are not lazy drags, stay loose, and I call it “enable your foot”. These tips have done wonders for my playing.

Dynamics and feel are HUGE in your overall groove. You've also got to play relaxed/loose, or it sounds to mechanical. Great video!!

You and Steven are my go to guys for advancement in the field. In three months I’ve seen a lot from you two guys. It’s helped tremendously!! You have no idea how important you are to inspiring drummers. Even the talk without examples is very helpful. Thanks a million!

Great tips. Thanks!

Heck yeah. Amen to all the tips. Thank you, sir.

Beautiful vid thankyou rob

I love how you mention the foot, I myself always somehow knew I had to put focus into it while playing it to keep you on check and after hearing it from you it made even more sense so thank you! Although it would have been nice to put the link in the description

Thank you sir. What a wonderful gift you give.

Big Salamat for another informative and insightful tips video!

Thank you sooooo much Rob! These lessons are awesome!!

Love your instruction. Thanks a million.

Brother Brown Always impactful knowledge thank you

Rob I must tell you that after 36 years of my drumming journey you are a huge help to me.....thank you for all you do buddy..Jim Hammond Louisiana. 🙏🥁🙏✌️😎

I’m so happy you mentioned Matt garatka

Outstanding video. Very well done & really useful.

I like the way your little splash cymbal jumps with the bass drum beat

Thank you, Rob for all these wonderful videos you do! Always great stuff!

You RAWK Rob-O! Thank you! Another great video!

Rob! You are not just a drummer. You are a MUSICIAN!

Dude..I've been playing for 35 years, some of those professionally. After a long hiatus I'm back at it..re-learning to a degree. You're a natural teacher and your helping me out in a big way , can't get enough of your stuff. Great job !

Thank you so much Mr. Bob brown, you have taught a lot, and you are a great drummer and teach again thank you

You are so thorough I love it

great, thanks a lot rob

just wanted to say "THANKS!" for another great tutorial. I have been playing the drums for a very long time, and I wish I could've have learned some of these techniques decades ago! Much appreciated Rob! I will be working on my "pulse" now quite specifically... that is a "goldmine" technique. Thank you for detailing that out...

great videos you have, thank you.

Man I’ve seen a lot of drum videos, something about your style is very easy to watch and understand. Thanks!

Great vibe in your videos 🥁👍.....Thanks

Just subscribed....LOVE your drumming Rob! And your teaching methods resonate (no pun intended) with me. Keep on rocking! :)

It was a good day...listened to a bunch of VH this morning...and got a new RB vid, in a VH t-shirt..great vid...thanks as always! 🤘

Keep being insanely good at what you do best! Thanks man

Thank you Rob blessings brother

Great vid bro. I'm learning a lot from your videos

Dang, man...that RB signature snare is juicy! I started watching this and I’m all, “This one is probably not for me, I’ve been doin’ this for 30yrs...” then, BAM! Knowledge. Ok, so, love the VH T-and, so, I’m going to renew my request for some Alex VH breakdown on Beautiful Girls-that groove is tricky, sounds easy, but it ain’t to me. HELP!

That Yamaha is such a beautiful kit! The finish they use is just incredible and also sounds incredible!

Great video as always. And an even more awesome shirt.

Yeah Rob, now thats a great tutorial on groove!!! Thumbs up & cheers from Berlin

Yesss My Mann!!! Thank you Rob!! Perfect timing for this!! Im knee deep wit ya bud on lessons!! Been over year n a half now n still counting n always will be!! I love it!! But darn Rob Perfect timing with the groovin! what u broke down , im doin out of default i guess you could say from EVERYTHING else ive forced from following your perfect instructions all this time, but this is another perfect video n perfectly timed for where im at with my vocabulary , to kinna put all in a nutshell nicely!! Thank you again my hero! Savoir!! You da Man! IM gonna get to some sheddin"!!

Rob your groove is on point! Love it man

Dude...That's one sweet sounding kit. You really do it justice. Love the 'loose' thing. Chill-Play personified.

Helpful as always..thanks bro...and I got to get a grove responsibly hoodie!! Nice👍👍

I get hypnotized a lot just to you play. It is so smooth and you just are so loose and it sounds soo good. I even bought some of your merchandise. .You have a new fan with 1 1/2 years playing. Started at 61. Easy and smooth Is the style I want to play. Love your use of dynamics God Bless .

Reading drum notation is very easy. I recommend learning it. You could learn within a few days. Than I know some great books for you,

Another awesome video Rob. I've been playing for decades and I always come away from your videos with motivation to work on something new or something I've neglected. Also, that left eyebrow seems to have a life of its own sometimes. :) Thanks for what you do!!!!

Nice work Rob.

Well now .... that's changed things around for me. Those minor changes are making me sound and FEEL like a better drummer. Thanks.

This video made me think about where I first went nuts about dynamics. Tribal Tech - Saturn 5, I'll never forget the first time I heard it!

Excellent as always. Now I have to find a way to put all this into my next show. Got me a “snareapy” shirt, and yes...it does work. Great stuff brother!

Great vid... that snare man... mazing

you are so gifted in teaching and when you play drums , sound and looks the greatest drummer in the world.

That SD and that shirt are the highlights! Rock solid sound!

N i just thought of it now man... crazy cool ,,,, I've NEVER EVER NEVER EVER have not had a big ass smile n just a cool great groovin feelin after EVERY SINGLE video...lol thank u

Your are so beloved Rob! I love your instruction videos man! I am a composer and multi instrumentalist and have spent 2 months trying to get an acceptable drum sound in my studio (for my improvised Dark Star recordings) and I think I am going crazy. The Bass drum has to be the hardest drum to get right. I have examples on my YT channel under Dark Star (there are 16 of them so far.) I am about to put your bass drum tuning (low) into action. When the drums don't sound right , they really sound like a mess. Thank you Rob for all the great work you do brother! Cheers from NY. :)

Great!

Like always - great lesson, Rob :) The only thing I'd like to mention is that everytime you hit the bass drum there is really tiny overtone from the splash hitting the plastic isolation underneath it - for example the groove around 9:30 min.

That kit is gorgeous

Just subbed, love your videos!

I'm looking forward to your video's for 2019.. Mahalo from Hawaii.

Rob I love the way you approach the drums and how you teach. Very enjoyable just to watch. And then how I learn from putting your lessons to practice. Do you offer personal lessons over Skype or some such technology? Keep up the great work. Bill.

Rob is a Legend!

Hi rob , back again. Your sound has such feel in the groove .thanks for all you do .been all over checking drummer , teachers and solos. There is some insane talent out there, but much of it I just can't feel. Maybe it's me . maybe we all hear something different. But I digress.....

Can’t put my finger on it, but this video hit a special note with me. Love all your videos, but loved every second and every bit of advice in this one.

10:18 - holy, that is as clean as it gets. i have literally never seen this move in traditional grip

The bell has been my FAVORITE since I was a child. Middle school jazz band practice came up and by accident I hit the bell. NEVER WENT BACK! lol i'm 30 now!

Always top draw advice Rob buddy & Austin Burcham says hi :)

Man, coach carter was such a great movie and the ending left me crying such a great ending with everybody there, it made it feel like everybody was family 😭

Awesome shirt, man. Also, "the art of ghosting" should be a book.

I dig the half-time ride groove.

Ok, that’s it ! I’ve seen enough of this.... I became a patron .....

Dynamics and Awareness are key to groove

Nice, don't know how I missed this one! Extra snare looks interesting?

Maan I'm on a streak on Professor Rob's videos

so great working concepts, thanks Rob! Hi from Russian Orthodox Church & best wishes)

More videos on groove if you can please! A lot of drummers (including myself) don’t pay enough attention to it

Nice T-shirt!

"Without a pulse it's dead" Great analogy! Real helpful video. Is that the SLP Bubinga aux snare?

Hey Rob check out lonely night in Georgia by Marc Broussard, its a great Purdy shuffle ghost note song i play along to. plus he's a local Louisiana boy.

And dam Rob That lick you played for # 4 On your evans beautiful red!! Wow man killer killer on that one double ghost note,,, uh

Really helpin me out a lot Rob appreciate it brother

Ay man, you shared a practice room with Pete Truffa at Purchase back in the day, didn't you? I was a freshman there your senior year I think. Dig the videos!

Totally recognize that Van Halen shirt from an earlier 2014 video, also on groove.....

Love the lesson Rob, Rob I love to know what type of vid camera are you using ,your vids always look so good

Thanks man. I shoot with a Canon Rebel T5i.

I've heard that pulse that you mention called a clave before, I think the difference is that the clave isn't straight notes and I've always heard pulse refer to straight notes

Have you ever heard of the hi hat technique called the shank tip? Todd Sucherman goes over it in his drumeo lesson

You got a great sense a humour ,,, I’m sure u hates dudes making stupid comments LOL 😂 but on your Friday Hangs you should do a bloopers reel or outtakes . That be friggin hilarious. Bet the views would be off the charts !!!

Just wanted to know what mixer are you using. I noticed that it’s not the Tascam interface. Nice instruction as usual.

Dammit I love that snare sound.

I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for the brushes and the rods permanently displayed on the wall behind you. You've probably discussed it before. I'm new to this channel.

These are some the biggest differences drummers can bring to the table to kick it up a notch. I play mostly acoustic, but when I fill in at my church, I am on an electronic kit. One of my biggest complaints is that there are only so many triggers on electric kits and I'm stuck with only 8-9 sound and limited dynamics. With acoustic, each instrument can produce many sounds as Mr. Brown demonstrates.

Why have a plain bowl of icecream when you can have icecream with ghost notes...and sprinkles

Mr. Brown how is Phil ehart playing on the song aprecu from the first album Kansas, I just don't get it at all

Oh yeah, #5 is a game changer

can I know what's the title of video talking about focusing about bass drum when grooving?

Is your TRN V80 headset plugged directly into your mixer?

tbh when i play with trad grip my groove just turns up a notch

I play the same but all on the edge off the hight hat .the sound have more nicer decay imo. perhaps it because i record reggae music.dunno..... Play it like u did sound like u have 2 hight hats it strange for me. I use to play it on top of the hight hat when i make some specials chops with the bell of it.
