    Did you find this lesson TOO TRICKY and are looking for something that introduces you to rhythm from the very beginning? Well, I have you covered with "How to Count Basic Rhythms" which you can watch right here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qmd3rZZmd5irl5c.html

    Great lesson. I’m a seasoned, uneducated, drummer. I had a good amount of natural ability which means I could play a basic 4/4 beat as soon as I sat behind a kit. I progressed quickly and within three months I was playing classic rock in a ban in clubs. Admittedly I wasn’t playing it very well but in the mind of a 21 year old I was the next Neil Peart in the making. I thought that natural ability was a blessing. It was not a blessing but a curse for an undisciplined know it all young adult without a hands on mentor. Being 21 I could count and subdivide 80% of the time. (Product of Detroit education system) But what did I need to read music or even know what rudiments were. I didn’t see the need. I was in the army and set the kit aside for 20 years. Ten years of war and a good deal of ptsd and survivor guilt later I decided to commit to earning a living playing music. A great deal older and wiser I now see the difference between being good and being great at my craft, drums. The saying “you’re only as good as your basics” comes to mind and, being as cool as I was, I had no need for basics. WRONG!! So, I’m learning and becoming an expert at the basics so I can progress. For better understanding I use all sources, not just drumming and you’ve helped a lot. Thank you.

    Totally agree. I'm learning piano and I just did not learn the basics because I was undisciplined or something and up till now I was too ashamed to even endure learning the basics. Learning with difficulty things that 7 year olds are taught is no pleasure for the ego but it has to be done😢

    I’m a newbie to playing anything. I was actually gifted an organ. So, I’ve been taking lessons, for about 10 months now, to learn music notes, cords…etc. I had my first recital the other day. Scared to death, but, I managed to get through it. I’m not orchestra ready, by any means but, I’m trying. I really want to learn. So, right now, I want to learn everything I can. My main struggle is, playing the cords at the same time I’m playing the notes with my right hand. I am right hand dominant, so, it seems like my left brain doesn’t want to cooperate with the right side of my brain. But, I am learning, which is a plus for me…I’m over 60 years old, so, it is true…you can teach an ole dog new tricks. Praise God 🙏😁

    Great Lesson! I used to find the mix of eighth and sixteenth notes connected by a bar confusing. Also, I used to wonder why it was always an eighth note following a doted quarter. When you break the notes down into the lowest common denominator and count that way it all makes sense. Thank-you! Your videos continue to get better. Maybe you could do this in other time signatures? Like 6/8 time? I see many of these examples in that time signature. Thank-you.
