I just discovered ghost notes and it's great. It upgraded the sound of my drumming. Thanks to all the folks out there with these great lessons :-)

Once again Drumeo has shown me how to take my drumming to a new level, thanks guys!

"Drop the stick" best advice for ghost notes.

[EternalListener]

I am actually learning how to play the drums before i even get my drum set, thank you internet, thanks Jared!

As a bass player, I know and love ghost notes but never knew what it meant on drums. Now I do. Thanks ! I always loved the sound but didn't know there was a name for it.

Great vid! I'm a lifelong guitar player that tries at drums from time to time. I'm trying to nail the groove in 100, 000 Years by KISS and the ghost notes are a must.

This video is greatly appreciated, thank you for explaining this and demonstrating the differences.

[radioflatland]

That comment on feeling the ghost notes and locking in to each other as musicians on stage is one of the most important comments ever. Thank you!

Just came across this technique in The Best Beginner Drum Book from you guys. Every new concept I come across in that book, I like to youtube to get an audio example of what in learning. I've heard drummers do this and wondered what the hell it was! Now I know.

There's a simple way to vastly improve your dynamic feel that a great teacher in Detroit taught me a long time ago.. he insisted I play nothing but notes between these dynamics for two weeks on my pad and my PPP-P, that was all I was allowed to work with and boy did that alter my playing in a super good way--- try it today, I still do this occasionally for several days at a time ----

I bought a drum kit a week ago, this is really helpful to a complete beginner

[PEARTIAN]

Love it- and your upbeat ( no Pun) presentation- ghosts and rests are so important

[tswanson]

Awesome lesson ! Can someone please tell me the difference between a snare note on the third line and one in the space, I keep seeing them written both ways . I'm confused lol

[themarioshow]

I still don't know how to count properly, but that didn't hinder me from learning how to play this. Very helpful, thank you.

Where do you get your shirts, bro?

They're badass.

I always assumed that ghost notes were those kind of skipped notes like what he does in that opening piece he plays. What are those called?

[MozezVanHelgen]

a little tip for those who never played this before:
first you should practise down-up/up-down strokes cause u get more feeling with that ;)

[yinxin]

Hi, this is indeed a great video! However, may i know what software do you use to make the drum notes/score? :) Your reply is much appreciated!

[hobelgoblin]

what are these beats called? I love those smooth half time beats with the nice ghost rolls on the snare but I am having trouble finding it because I don't know what I should search for
