    Grateful, as I retire this year earning 9 million dollars every day, I will look back on this chapter in my life and wonder what it would have looked like if i would have just taken the blue pill.

    This is great, Brandon. I was having trouble with a few of the more tricky rudiments. Thanks for this very clear explanation and demonstration. My Drumeo subscription is the best money I've ever spent on music tuition. – Ali G. 👍👏☺

    The 9 Stroke Roll – is written as two groups of five 16th notes or a 10/16 5/8 odd meter count. Is it common to add a 16th rest between the two groupings to make it 3/4 6/8 applicable? This one's hurting the brain.

    Wow! Thank you so much for this video! I’m just getting started with drums, and I was looking for exactly this for tomorrow’s practice. The slow vs. fast tempo is very helpful—it gives me an idea of what to aim for! Thanks!!! 🥰

    I havent been able to use my kit in over 10 years due to living arrangements and ive been looking for something like this to keep me from getting too rusty
    I love this channel so much

    It would've been really cool to see, for each rudiment, a clip of its application – like, what does it look like applied to the kit in a real fill or song? Would help a lot to get a sense for how powerful each rudiment is and what it can be used for.

    It's been a very long time since my lessons with Henry Bellson at Music Stop, Canoga Park. I'm 63 now and starting over with you guys, thanks for being here and inspiring this old guy to start again.

    I was taught drumming by Mr. Martin Hurley. He was known as Mr Rudiment by his students at the time. All 6 of us snare drummers would practice all of these until we were in perfect sync with Mr Hurley hovering over us and correcting our form, etc. When I started to play set drum, I was genuinely surprised that all of these translated so cleanly to multiple instruments. RIP Mr. Hurley
