  I find the idea that you have wade through BS when you're paying a tutor utterly bizarre. Sounds like he was a poor educator

  I’m glad you’re showing us rudiments on a pad cuz Freddie never did any playing at all.

  Just discovered these videos. As someone who’s been curious about Freddy’s teaching for many years, this is the clearest and most helpful example I’ve come upon. Thanks for sharing your lessons with us!

  Brilliant lesson, thank you. Now I'm starting to understand what Freddie was teaching. There's not many people who explain it well enough. 🥁🥁🥁

  This is very close to Jim Chapin's approach to Moeller. Last 2 fingers do the work and all about pulling it back up, instead of going down to hit the drum. I have the same Buddy's book with his autograph. Thanx for sharing

  Great lesson, but the Traditional Grip doesn't make any sense with a snare or a practice pad in this horizontal position.

  I love the demo with your hand in the shoe on the pedal! I think it demonstrates the idea perfectly! I'm going to go thru your "Couch Series" and try some of these ideas you shared. And I love your sign off............"Keep It Snappy"!!! Have a great Day!

  Thanks for sharing your thoughts and demonstrating these lessons. The movements are so important to reach the goal of each exercise. I'd love to see a PDF of a couple of your pages with Freddy's notes! I tried to zoom in but it came out blurry. Thanks again Snappy!!!

  Interesting approach that of Mr. Gruber. Thanks for sharing it. At least I have a better idea of what it is all about. It's great that you have kept all those nuances of motion through the years, as well as the sound variations those motions create (and that's just on the pad!). A very expressive approach I should say.. Thanks again.

  this is very interesting. you have a similar philosophy to pedal design as Jojo Mayer I think. His Sonor pedal looks a lot like your drawings and he describes it the same way. I will say that a tight spring tension and a heavy pedal can actually be really beneficial for playing fast loud single strokes as in double bass for metal or heavy rock. Constant release doesn't really work for those types of things because the sound isn't consistent or loud enough. Many drummer try to use a technique like this and sound horrible doing so. In a jazz or funk or fusion setting i'm sure this applies very well, but extremely loud, fast, consistent sounding double bass just doesn't work very well with light pedals, alternating motions, or fancy techniques unless you use triggers... which brings up its own set of problems, such as the extremely fake sound. Now, obviously not everyone plays like that (most people don't in fact) so don't get me wrong I think everything you say here has a purpose and is good information. Gruber constant release seems like a good system and is certainly beneficial in many settings. Its just that people always like to think that there is one universal technique and pedal setup that is perfect for every type of playing. Not true. It always depends on the application.

  Thanks, Mr. Smith!! I studied for about 6 months with Freddie back in 1984. He wasn't interested in teaching me the traditional left hand, so I feel very fortunate that the videos in your "couch" series are here on KZread! Thanks again! Really enjoying the videos!

  This is the REAL deal! I studied for years with FG, and I've seen a few You Tube drummers use Freddies' name to pass off their own stuff. Seeing this brought a flood of memories! "Support. . .SUPPORT!!"

  When you say it would take a month to go over the material in your lesson # 1 do you mean Freddy took a month to go over the things you speak about one by one, or that he taught it all to you in the first lesson, then you practiced it every day for a month, or what? How often did you meet for the lessons?
