Good teacher and he actually breaks it down.

Dr. Wooten throwing down as usual. Really like the way he presents the material. Good stuff Drumeo!

Lately I’ve got back to the basics and been practicing my rudiments. I haven’t practice since high school. It’s been a long time.

Dr. Throwdown. I've been a drumeo member for about a year. Pretty sure I spend half of my time with this guy. I just went through his 10 days to better doubles about three times.

I call this the HAPPY-BIRTHDAY-TO-YOU rudiment

coming into this as a very experienced musician who is not a drummer:

what?

The ratamacue doesn't really make sense as onamatopia: you have to add so many syllables.

And you just really do not explain what's going on.

Dr Slowdown THEN Throwdown. You mentioned the Ratamacue sounds like it’s spelled . Then you used a fancy word to explaine this concept . Was it a “ I’m a gonna pee “ . 😮….. oops, sorry I had the playback speed for this video slowed way down . Apology’s 😔
