Great exercise. I have always struggled with the 7 the most. Ash is a killer drummer, hope to see him play live someday

Since you count 16ths as "1 e an da" and quintuplets as "1 e an da ga" count your septuplets (7) as "1 e an da ga da da" it can kinda be a tongue twister when you count fast but try counting that slow to get the septuplet feel.

I do a variation of this that I found about a year ago.. the snare hits on the 3, instead of 2 & 4. I usually start at 120bpm and work up to 260bpm - 280bpm within a 5-min stretch before I start playing. And it's an absolutely phenomenal warm-up, as is this one.

Since I am early, I would request drumeo to make a video on the slide technique with much more details and the tips how to develop control in it. Thank you! :)

They also have the Bass Drum 2.0 module available. It explains, the slide, heel toe, and other techniques in depth!

Since i saw Anika and Gergo getting crazy on 5 and 7 th3 first things i did once at home has been to play quintuplets and 7tuplets with my bassdrum and after 6 months i can say that my approach is totally changed, 100% with u man, u r great one, thanks for the video

This dude always teaches the simplest, yet most useful stuff! Great teacher!

Hey Ash, nice video , well appreciated. I'm 69 yo, recreational , resurrected, drummer . I returned to playing as a retirement pleasure after a 50 year hiatus. I played in a Garage Band with HS buddies, in 1966 to 1969, we played and learned together. I recently got "caught up" in trying to play a DB pedal (just bought a Mapex 500TW), for a fun attempt to play a DB pedal. I don't play Metal , but predominately to My Music . So far, i encounter lots of difficulty to transition my left foot from the Hi Hat to the Slave bass pedal? Unfortunately, i am strictly a heel down player. Always were. And now with some spinal / arthritic conditions which limits my mobility, I def can't move my foot over quickly. I probably should give up the Ghost and just practice faster doubles and maybe triples on the single bass pedal. Its funny how i can play with feet quickly sitting at my kitchen table, yet not able to replicate that sitting at the kit. It's difficult to teach An Old Dog New Tricks.... be well all and appreciate any tips

Cool!! Back in the 80's I was in drum corps and we played a lot of rhythmic scale exercises. I never thought to ad it do my double bass playing!!

hello, ash very good, thanks for the class

Thank you so much for an amazing drum lesson. Been a drummer for a long time and never heard of 5s and 7s this I feel is going to open my drumming up alot

Awesome! Thank you for sharing this with us! Very well explained, especially at a tempo that's easy to follow! :)

Great lesson! I would recommend throwing in quarter note triplets right before the eighth notes if you want to add one more level to it.

Awesome... Just started drumming a year ago & now trying my skills @ Double Bassing.. Thax So Much For The Help Ash.. Spooner 🤘🥁💜🌹

I've accidentally came up with the same concept myself, but for the right hand, and it is really fun to go up and down the pyramid!

This video was really helpful! This exercise is really easy to remember and easy to do at and away from the kit. I specifically struggle with 5's and 7's so I see myself using this one a lot going forward. Thanks!

I think most drummers would say the same. you don't see many 5 and 7 counts in mainstream music. its more common in jazz/progressive music

Great lesson!! 👏👍👏👍

Excellent exercise!! Thank you : )

That is so creative. Thank you for the video

Great exercise ! Hope drumeo sooon releases double bass shuffle lesson like he did in the intro of the video !! ❤️❤️ much love from nepal !!

This was a very helpful video. Great post!

Man this is awesome! I was literally doing this without knowing the techniques and names behind it. I just did it. Great to see this.

I’m definitely going to apply this exercise. I’m just recently starting double bass.

Such a sick lesson!!

A version of this worth checking out is in Gary Chaffee's Rhythm & Meter Pattern book pages 16 & 17.

Great video thanks man!!

Great lesson

For me, the "pyramid" has always been playing each note value for only one beat of the click. So single quarter note, followed by two 8th notes, followed by three 8th note triplets, and so on up to eight 32nd notes, and then straight back down again. I think this is a very challenging exercise, and one must master switching between arbitrary note values like he mentions before even really making any notable effort on this "pyramid" i describe.

I would also recommend playing the backbeat on 3 after you master the 2 and 4.

Love this! I use it all the time ❤😃😃😃🤘

A portion of this is used in Tool - the Grudge, which is awesome. But it’s also over a 5/4 meter which is sick as ballsssssss

Great exercise

The Rhythmic Scale is the last great exercise (all limbs independently doing different sets of rhythms - truly a crazy exercise!)

hmmmmm I did encounter it, never thought about developing that. thx for sharing that man, awesome ! ❤❤

thanks..... dude..... I learn a lot.... your super awesome....!!!

Thanks man!

Wait drumeo headquarters is in Abbotsford? That's like a half hour away from where I live..

Can you do the left foot without doing the right foot on the floor?

I've been playing flat foot technique on the bass but to play double bass I have to learn heel-toe for speed but I'm just not getting the speed or control right what do I do ? and also I can't get much control from flat foot technique on single pedal please help me out sir I don't know where to start my single pedal is also small for my foot.what can i do to improve and please do reply or make a video about it should i change my pedal to a bigger one and is there a bigger pedal ?

On the left side there was an edit that threw the swing of the pulse off. It almost seems as if it was sped up 1bpm.

Hey Ash will there ever be an Angelgrinder reunion show?

When are you getting Steve Gadd on the show? Would be super awesome!

A cheeky bit of Profanum Vulgus right at the beginning there?

Really curious on how much time you have to spend on practicing this exercise to be proficient.

I can do this with the video but when it comes to memorizing it on my own for the 5 and 7s I'm lost

Thomas Lang featured this exercise on his Creative Control DVD from 15 years ago or so.

How much do pedals have to do with it? I swear at tried some pedals at Namm show by Tama and I was able to do almost everything I wanted to do and at home I have these heavy ass pear pedals and I can’t even hold clean syncopated 16ths for too long without fucking up and I usually have a strong pocket with a metronome with doing double bass work

Cool exercise...but what about single pedal drummer?

How much for that drum set man

The problem with this exercise is that you learn to, for example (using numbers to represent the different note values), play 1 to 2 , then 2 to 3, then 3 to 4 and so on. What you don't learn for example is jumping from 1 to 6, or 2 to 5 To do that start a 1 and do 1 to 2 1 to 3 1 to 4 ...... To 8 Next start at 2 2 to 3 2 to 4 Etc Go back an forth between each and make the change perfect. Don't stop that combination till it is.

The question is: do you keep the beaters on the head after each hit or not?

I would say it doesn't matter too much if you're still a beginner. The level of control it takes to do either whenever you think it's necessary is what really matters, and that takes pure dexterity built through hours upon hours of practice

Blast Beast very hard to tell. There’s only one shot of it from the side. It’s definitely a piccolo snare, maybe about 4” in depth? Was hoping to be able to confirm from the hardware but all I can make out is the die cast hoops. I would venture to say it’s some kind of metal Tama snare? I could be wrong?

I use 2 bass drums, 3 mounted and 1 floor.The problem isn't in the playing, it's when the sound person is an asshole and doesn't have enough mics to mike your whole kit. I've only run into one guy that's like that...........luckily. I even spent $400.00 on triggers for my bass drums and the same asshole didn't want me to use them. Basically, it's just like anything music related..........the music part is easy , the personnel is the hard part...........be it , the band members or the sound person, club management, whatever...........when you add the human element to anything, it can all go to shit. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 (When I say the music is easy, I mean, if you put in the practice time, it's easy.)
