Metric Modulation

Here are 2 metric modulation lessons by Angel Alonso Aranda, inspired by Anika Nilles.

Gospel drumming

Really well structured drum lesson with Larnell Lewis. It is a little lengthy but totally worth it. If you're into gospel drumming like me, this really helped. Tightness, groove and ever so subtle taps.

Drumeo has got a lot of good stuff going on so check them out too. I applaud Jared Falk for his effort in helping the drumming community by providing a lot of drum lessons with professional drummers. Great tips, advice, demonstration and explanation.

Chop Of The Day

 One of the best chop builders on Youtube. Fresh videos each week, showing how the chop is played in actual tempo, slowed down and applied in a groove. If you are thinking of picking up some chops, visit DKdrumSpecialized on Youtube Channel. Pretty tight and sick chops going on.

Regular updates on his channel as well. I really appreciate Youtube Drummers who give back to the community by offering free drum lessons as many of the aspiring drummers out there may not have the ability to afford paying for drum lessons.

Go drummers!

Inverted double stroke

Dave Elitch teaches how to work on a inverted double stroke. Super cool fill and groove.

Sick fill

Thomas Pridgen - Wax Simulacra

Here's an uber sick drumming song Wax Simulacra by Thomas Thomas Pridgen, ex-drummer of The Mars Volta. I really like this one. Very technical and musical at the same time.

Here's a drum cover of by Luke Holland which I thought is really well done. (Drum transcription by Anthony Lopez)

 

Funky Drummer - James Brown

Legendary Clyde groove demonstrated by Benny Greb

 


 Here is a sick breakdown by parts by Jeff Randall

 

32th odd note

This is a pretty cool concept. We all learned 32th note but most of the time it is in even groupings. Odd grouping add a little twist to it.



This video is from the teacher's camp that Mike's lesson held recently. Do check out Komposteradgalning He improved so much since I saw his videos many years back.

You can make any time signature musical

Here is a clip of Chris Coleman at NAMM, sharing drum tips. Chris Coleman is one of the drummers that I highly respect. It is really heartwarming to see lots of drummers giving back to the drum community!

This is really inspiring and I highly suggest drummers who haven't seen this to check it out. His lesson - "You can make anything musical" is in the 25/15 time signature (Part 3). Crazy cool sick stuff going on. Let's do more mathematical drums.

Do check out part 1 and 2 as well.



 

Sting - Seven Days Drum Lesson

Remember this awesome dude I posted about the Seven days cover? He now came up with the lesson series for Seven days. Do check it out!





Here is a breakdown of the chorus groove. He did not analyze the entire song but these lessons are really great and detailed. For the full transcription, you will have to purchase it.

This is one sick drummer. His chops really impressed me. He don't really teach but he slows down to us see what's going on. Still it is good enough for me. Gotta learn from this guy.

Rodney Holmes Groove Transcription

This is a cool drum beat Rodney Holmes did 5 years back. It's still cool now, one of the must learn!

You might need some serious speed building to get to his tempo. Really sick stuff he got there.





Here's a link to the transcription by Fran Merante.
