Excellent rhythm exercises! My near-term goal is to nail these 4 exercises until I can do them fast without really thinking about it. I'm starting out really slowly to internalize them, like he said; then building up tempo, just like you've advised before to do with scales. I really hope you have Dave back for more! Fantastic lesson. Awesome teacher.

Now we have chord progression and rhythm, is it possible to do anything "rhythm progression"?

Dave: "You can play a little softer." Lisa: "Can you Dave?" Brilliant stuff - informative AND hilarious. No disrespect to Dave, what drummers can do in terms of limb independence is absolute witchcraft.

Finger independence made easy

Absolutely the best piano channel ever, you can learn so much, you WANT to learn it and it's so easy and so helpful at the same time. I love you guys.

That's an "ear-opening" lesson,. Thank you, guys!

I too am a drummer (for 30+ years), and recently started learning piano. Knowing how to read and play rhythm has really helped my learning. It’s exciting to see a familiar drummer “pounding” the keys and providing some excellent tips! I enjoy playing chord progressions with my left hand on the keyboard while keeping a beat on the drums with my remaining limbs.

I play guitar, drums and bass. Now I’m learning piano. I have noticed a few advantages from playing other instruments that apply to the piano. Drums: Rhythm, timing and hand independence. Bass: Left hand bass runs and slash chords. Guitar: Broken chords and/or arpeggio style playing. However, I wish I had learned piano first. Music Theory is much easier to understand on a piano because everything is laid out right in front of you. 🎹

This was wonderful! And speaking as a former tap dance student back in the day I was thrilled to realize that counting music was exactly the same rhythm process. Talk about WOW! I immediately understood what I was accomplishing. Oh and, more drummer lessons on the piano please!! Love the gems of wisdom. Thanks!

Dave: says "rudimental" Me: drummer alert!!!

This is a really valuable lesson for ALL piano players, and in particular we newbies. Rhythm is such an important part of making music but many of us skip over it in our rush to play the right notes. It's so important in keeping time and tempo. A wonderful video with great value to us newbies. Thanks for posting. Cheers!

I’m a drummer and yes piano come a bit easier and this channel helps me a lot

I've got an experiment that you might find interesting that can aid with both hand and foot independence. Perfect for drummers too. I discovered this myself sometime ago and it kinda works. Just hear me out. Start by taking a walk, it doesn't have to be outdoors, just pace from room to room. While walking, tap out a rhythm with your hands. This could be clapping your hands together or tapping your thighs. Now vary the rhythm. Notice that you were able to vary the rhythm completely independently from your walking pace, right? When you walk it's natural, you've developed muscle memory and you don't even have to think about it. Now sit on a chair and tap your feet on the floor, right, left, right, left, and so on... Now clap or tap a rhythm once again with your hands and try varying the rhythm. I can almost guarantee that you totally messed up the rhythm with your feet. Am I right? Now here's where a little psychology come in... Do the same again with your feet but this time just visualise yourself taking a leisurely walk. Once again tap out a rhythm with your hands but keep visualising a leisurely walk along a canal or some other place. Now vary the rhythm of your hands while maintaining your leisurely walk... Chances are it worked and you can now maintain a steady beat with your feet while varying the rhythm with your hands. It works for me. Please try it and let me know if it works for you too. I've tried this with my right and left hand too. I experiment while performing natural actions like stirring coffee. I will stir a coffee with my left hand then introduce some tapping rhythm on the countertop with my right, and vica versa. It seems to work... ... until I sit in front of a keyboard 🤣

SS - Very interesting! Agree, parts of our brain are on autopilot and others are lost following GPS. Can't wait to try this exercise. Thanx for the suggestion!

Woah! Hold your horses Dave! I love it. It's way over my ability right now but I love it. I often find myself tapping my knees or a tabletop to music and find hand independence quite easy but as soon as I sit in front of a keyboard my brain shuts down. I'm concentrating too much on forming the chords correctly for my hands to work independently. Single fingers I can do though so I guess that's a start. Thanks for this great collab Lisa and Dave 😀

This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for!!! Dave, Lisa, thank you so much! These videos are so helpful!

Lisa thanks for bringing Dave in to teach rhythm. That was brilliant! Thank you so much!!!

i'm glad I played guitar and a little bit of percussion for 10 years before I started piano, it definitely helps with hand independence and rhythm.

*_Cross-over of the century!!_* Drumeo & Pianote finally collide to become one mighty *Drumnote-Pianeo* !! Love you guys! Do more stuff with folks from Drumeo please every now and then - super fun material indeed. After all, you're situated in the same building, single wall away from one another :D

This is very helpful. When I first started trying to learn how to play piano a little over a year ago, and noticed I was having trouble with rhythm, I looked everywhere for a video that featured a drummer teaching rhythm on the piano. 💪🏽💪🏽

This dude blew my mind. So simple but so effective

This was amazing you guys!! 😲 I totally understand rhythm as I first learned music through percussion and I’ve always felt more like a drummer in my head. This tutorial really helped me transport my little music know-how as a drummer straight into my piano practice and awareness. Thank you! 😩 Love you much!

I don't think it's that strange that a drummer would give a piano lesson, especially regarding rhythm. Both the drums and piano are percussion instruments. The difference is the drums are a rhythmic percussion instrument while the piano is a melodic percussion instrument.

Try Left Left Right... left left right... left right for an octave. As a drummer, I love this one in piano 😊 We practice these paradiddles visa Versa as you can interchange the hands too, just switch the rights to lefts and lefts to rights. It would probably sound good 💚

Excellent video. thanks for this!

Thankyou Lisa and Dave, great lesson and heaps of fun plus very helpful exercises! 😀👍💕

This is a great lesson to help me with beats and rhythm. Thanks so much for posting.

Again! Your creativity make me smile at every single video. Another original approach.

That's amazing I'm going to practice this every day. I struggled with timing since started playing. Although I am quite good at classical music.

5:01 It’s cool how you can see the different musician in the way the play they rhythm together. He uses his whole arm (drummer) and she uses her wrist (pianist).

Great lessons... I appreciate the concepts u talk about in your videos!! ✌

I think this is a very valuable lesson for getting rhythm into your playing. Start tapping then just switch to chords, I think that's brilliant in its simplicity! Thank you so much for this and all your other great lessons too.

That was fantastic. Great to have the perspective from a drummer 😃

Lisa your face is a picture x.. I love that none of us ever stop learning new skills. Great lesson! 🇬🇧

This was great to watch. I took drum lessons as a kid but my dad wouldn't allow a drum set because it would be too loud(back in mid - late 90's) and we didn't have the room really either. I'm trying to stay consistent in learning piano so its nice to see the two come together.

Four years of traditional piano lessons as an adult. Then nothing. Now, forty years later, thanks to your Chord Hacks and this video, I'm feeling an excitement that I never felt about my lessons. I think I may be having too much fun with these free video to see the need for your piano foundations. What a quandary!

I really appreciated as your favorite follower this session!! Keep up to prepare others. Thanks.

Very useful lesson. Thanks a lot to both of you.

Great lesson thanks to the neighbour of Pianote, Drumeo. I am a drummer too. I am also folowing piano lessons at Pianote. Many greetings from the Netherlands.

I love this lesson. I have always wanted to play the drums and I'm drawn to playing my keyboard in a rhythmic way. 💜

This is one of my fave lessons to date I've been playing for a couple weeks and after this one I feel so much more confident.

Oh my gosh! Very nice exercise, specially to me who's weak with rhythm 🙃

What a wonderful little video. Thank you. In the past, I'd thought about how drumming is so pointedly rhythm-centric but didn't have any idea on how to take advantage of it. Also for me I consider the drums to be one of the three primary instruments I should know (do I?...nope). You two have shown how. Thank you again.

This little exercise is taking me places. Just have to remember the vi-IV-I-V progression, then work out the right hand chords from the scale of the key that I want to learn, then go to it, sort of transposing on the fly. It teaches me right hand chords and quite a bit of keyboard real estate in the bass region.

OK wow this was incredible - exactly what I had been looking for as someone struggling with rhythm. this channel keeps serving up GOLD as always

This is great! I would love more videos with drummers teaching rhythm!

I've dabbled with drums and now playing the piano. This is right on the mark. Great lesson. Nice to see this interaction.

This is ridiculously good!!...Please bring him often:-)

LOVE Dave and Lisa! Yay 💜 so happy to have seen this. Love this lesson!!!!!!! - Kristeta

i am in the same situation as he is. A lifetime drummer finally learning piano, and the rhythm just comes SO EASY for me. Piano is a percussive instrument, so it is no surprise that drummers are a natural fit. Thanks for the post.

Yesterday I just realised how much I am not good at rhythm...and then this video showed up! THIS IS LIFE SAVING! THANKS TO THE DRUMMERSSSS! I have a whole new level of respect to drummers now!

I love his control of force on the keys - when I do that, it sounds like the piano is screaming. Fantastic lesson - only wish the demo was longer than 4 measures. It was like learning the tango! Gave me a whole new perspective of approaching my practice. Dave is a fantastic teacher. Lisa, you've taught me SO much. Can't thank you enough! XO

Awesome example. Proves quite obviously that a piano is a percussion instrument, while too many think it's a string instrument. Great video!!

I'm teaching myself piano, very slowly and I'm really struggling with finding the beat and keeping the rhythm. My 13 year old son is a brilliant drummer and guitarist and he has been really helping me, because rhythms and beats come very naturally to him. This piano lesson from a drummer makes perfect sense.

Much needed, thanks. More, please.

Awesome. Thanks guys, so useful!!

Really great. Thanks Dave!

AT LAST someone accepting and talking about this!!! "You've got me at Hello", lady. In the first 22 seconds I felt utterly identified.

Two of my fave channels in one. Pianists and drummers have so much in common.

Great lesson. I started out on drums and it has helped me immensely with other instruments.

I'm also a drummer and started learning piano, and even I find it a bit easy. And this exercise is really helpful 👍

Great idea! Thanks Dave

I like the rhythm analysis a lot, more like this please.

more please! great lesson.

I've always had this issue with rhythm . Awesome video!

Thank you! That is so awesome. The struggle is real though!!! LOL.

Great and insightful lesson. I am a music producer that picked up the piano about 2 years ago. I wanted to incorporate more complex rhythms like my heroes. Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder. So I would practice and tap out various hip hop, funk, and soul rhythm beats. Then try to incorporate them on the piano, with all the other techniques and theories I had learned. It was a challenge but once I got it down, my playing was much more rich and dynamic. This lesson reminded me of my starting block training for building my rhythmic skills on the piano. Great piano like a drummer intro for all your followers.

FAVORITE LESSON EVER!!! (No offense Lisa!). Just because I’m rhythmically challenged, and it’s exactly what I need to work on). I can’t believe how much brilliant content you wonderful people put out there FOR FREE-everyone should sign up to become a member just as a little THANK YOU!!!! And Drummer Dave being a beginner and playing like that is just rude!!! 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻

Cool... always working on my rhythm... this might help.

He really drums the piano!

Really nice. It would be cool to have him again on pianote. I must say, I am a piano beginner with a percussion background, and I try to put that to good use when playing. In my band, I mostly have simple chord progressions to do, and chords change in each bar most of the time. That leaves some room to improvise rythmically to add some character to a simple string of chords. Even with a very basic piano skill I can get something fun out of my keyboard, and that's the kind of thing that motivates me to practice more.

Thanks for this valuable lessons.

Love this. I heard Dave and thought, oh come on, that's so easy. Then found I couldn't do it! You've started a whole new chapter in my piano education. And I will never be rude to a drummer again (unless he speeds up...) :(

I’ve been a drummer for 25 years , learning the piano here and it’s so fun , thanks for another great lesson , one more piece added to the puzzle, cheers!

GREAT video, many thanks.

Thanks for the download Dav and Lisa.

Hello Dave, Great!! with Lisa!! Drumeo and Pianote.. great!!

Thanks for the inspiring video!

"Give the Drummer some " I loved this very nice :) all music has a lot of Diversification if you look at Stravinsky and so on we see that sometimes is great To see things through the eyes of a drummer to get a different perspective and appreciate what's out there.

A good idea : drummer at the piano! And what about the opposite : a pianist on drums; but not on real drum set, but the digital one inside the electronic keyboard , which also includes the possibility of split and metronome? For example, a pianist plays with both hands on the keys of bass drum and snare drum with a metronome on and changing the balance between the hands; and at the same time he uses pianistic playing movements.

That was mind blowing! Awesome!

As a real newby to piano, and drums, I was surprised that I found the fourth exercise the easiest. A testament to a good teacher! Thanks for expanding my reach with something so fun.

Wow!Just wow!Such a great idea to have a drummer invited and such concepts discussed.I can only say thank you 🙏

1 and 2 are what the kick drum plays, I’m starting to play synths and using what I’ve learned hear on those, though most are monophonic. I’ve played other instruments before snd taking a break from them and filling the role of a secondary synth player at church. I recently played easter snd used lessons 1 and 2 on this video for one of my bass synths and midi linked those with my pads and EPs it was awesome!
