I am giving a gift to the users of this noble forum. I will offer a lesson, free of charge, to all who wish to want one. It will be in written form, and will be accompanied by a video, if I can make one. This will be posted in the Drum Lessons forum. I, however, need to know what you all would like to learn. I'll make a poll of several topics in the drumming realm.

It is my pleasure and I hope you enjoy!

I'd love to make stronger my independance. I don't think enough stress is made over it because it's a little unusual. I happen to think it gives a good flavor to some good old beats.

Looks like I'm with the majority on Independence/Syncopation. That seems to be a weak spot for me.

Drums!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my technique feels weak and i feel sloppy while i play and somethimes the stick slips out of my right hand while playing swing or something along those lines on the hats, and i need a good foot exercise to build my endurance in both legs, i can play double really fast and i can play slow, but its right in the middle where the groove should be sometimes and i feel weak and like i have no control, please send help........and peanuts

I'm actually quite flattered by the response. It seems that the majority wants the independence/syncopation lesson. Good, that's what I'm working my ass of on currently, it's right up my street. Seeing as how a few want some endurance and chop exercises, I'll throw those along too.

I'll get working on it soon. I start packing for college pretty soon, but I'll hopefully have everything done by then, and I'll post.

Whatever it turnes out to be will be beneficial I'm sure!

It's almost like being at a drumming restaurant.. it all looks so good, but can choose only one

I'm all for the independence too... though I wouldn't mind learning how to make my feet quicker at doing doubles and triples on a single kick.

I KNOW HOW!! Lol.

OK. How about this. Two lessons. One for the independence/syncopation, the main one. And a bonus one with some tricks, tips and random drumming doodods. Does that suit?

No, I'm ot talking about that. I can show you, but I have a different trick for some very fast doubles and trips if you're canny enough. Also show you how to work out the foot.

one thing I'd love to see a video for is speed drumming/extreme drumming but I'm planning to get Flo Mounier's DVD on it so no big deal if double bass doesn't win

I'm pretty solid when it comes to everything but Rudiments!

I know how to do a Swiss Triplet, hahaha...

and blasts at 230 bpm...

Check out Bart Elliot's www.drummercafe.com. Here is the link to his "5 minute lessons":

Nah, I thought I'd get your hopes up and then crush them. My little joke.

Kidding.

Guys, I'm really sorry it's taking me SO LONG to get this stuff up. The filming was done about a month ago, and the stuff was on my computer, when the computer decided to hate me, went BSOD on me, and dumped my entire hardrive into nothingness. Had to call HP, get some backup disks, basically refit my whole comp, which is partly reason why I've been adsent for a while also. The other reason was to research the Moeller Technique after that war I started. So, I have to redo everything, but it's looking like it'll be in time for Christmas, so it'll make an awesome gift to all of the guys here. Happy Holidays!

and BTW, I'm working on my double bass skills actualy, but I still suck so bad at it, lol.

Yes, those are 5's (don't be skeered, say "Minn-e-a-pol-is")

Bass drum hits on the rights, bring the right hand to the snare for the second group (beat).

Now, invert it

RLRLL RLRLL

Same vibe with the bass drum.

Go with it. It's a kinda "lopey" shuffle feel, the both of 'em.

I'm always up for brain twisters so I played your stickings with some variations over a baion ostinato. Mixing the phrasing between sixteenths, 8th note triplets, and sextuplets ... very, very fun. Never thought of 5s as all that interesting but I like your stickings here. Got something semi-authentic sounding with this accent pattern:

rlLrL

and

rlrlL

The triplets are a real mind mess over the baion because the tug space between the sixteenth and the triplet is ... I just have to hear it. Can't think about it ... mind ... overheating ...

Frank Briggs does some fairly unnatural things in groupings of 9s. But he's an alien and I can only compare myself with mere humans.

Endurance!!!!!

OK! So here's the deal. I did a clinic at the DRT over Rudiments and Application to Drumset. It was about an hour long, so when I get the video footage from Bong, I'll go ahead and edit it down into chunks. And that'll be my first installment of lessons. Sorry it's not eh Syncopation, but it's what I got. So, it's in the works, and be patient!
