ROB BROWN ENDORSES

[wn]

I come to this channel for solid advice...and " Beatdown" never lets ya down.
Great tips, Rob. Thanks.

[rebeccabrittain]

I love this... I've massively improved over the last few weeks with your lessons. People, every last thing he says rings true.

[johnrobinson]

Separate pad from kit. I agree 100%. And I actually got that mantra from you Rob. In the year of the hands I started doing a practice pad routine every single day. 🥁❤

[biggsenator]

You are the best teacher on the internet. Period.

[vincentzhang]

You the coolest and calmest guy on the tube.

[Gabriel-ebit]

I bought my first drum kit and it was very difficult to tune it and I watched an old video of yours teaching how to tune tons.
I was trying it for five days and after watching your video it took me 15 minutes to tune 4 tons.

Repetition really does fix everything. I love that you said that. But when your older like me your main limiting factor is your joints giving you hell while you are working on skill.

[DrBaldhead]

Coming back into the drums after years- this is exactly the stuff I needed to hear. Thank you!

[bigsquatchsasfoot]

Great advice Rob, I’ve been playing for years like yourself and it makes a lot of sense to me ...thanks bud 👍

[herodesh]

Listen to this guy! He's 100% ... no 101% right on what he says here. I play drums since 1999 ... at the beginning i was a joke of a drummer and could not care less about development. Then i started taking things step by step. so #1, #2 and #5 should be the holy trinity if you want to play drums right! It hurts mentally and physically but after few weeks/months, just like in the gym training, you will want to do more and feel happy when doing it! Great video Rob! I was following exactly this steps that you described here over the years! And it works! I am not a great drummer but I am not a lousy one either! Cheers!

[justinkump]

The way that you explain, and subtly command respect and commit to the kit really resonates with me.
Very much appreciated, and thanks for the great work.

[michaelloconti]

I am honored to call you my drum sensei!🙏

[xeno]

Great lesson. Just built myself a schedule and looking forward to sticking to it!

[migi]

whenever there is a question i have about drumming, your amazingly helpful videos instantly pop up with the exact thing I'm wondering. how??? honestly thank you so much

[sundog]

This is the perfect video for a new drummer! I just started playing a few months ago, and am constantly overwhelmed with how long to be practicing what. Breaking it down by the week makes so much more sense rather than trying to approach each day as something new.

The only other tip I would add is to have a practice journal! Write down what you're planning to do and a short reflection on what you noticed can help influence future things to work on. It also has helped me organize my thoughts on what all I need to work on.

[paulchioda]

I'm a drummer of 40+ years. If you have these three things, control, timing and rhythm, you can be a professional drummer. Watching your channel Rob, I never stop learning being a self taught drummer! Thank you brother!...

[benmills]

I have been a long time subscriber to Rob's channel.

He has helped no doubt thousands of drummers around the world with his insight and generosity of his time and knowledge.

Many many years ago this information would have been virtually impossible to procure.

I feel that his success is from his own volition.

I am an ardent purveyor of his doctrines and it truly has helped me immensely.

Maybe the community needs to pay him back and let's all buy some merchandise from his store.

It's people like Rob who actually gives people hope, confidence and can save lives with music.

About 3 months ago, I decided I had had enough of watching what my wife liked (& I didn’t) and went upstairs to watch other programs. I also decided to do what a number of drum tutors recommended (but my wife hated) I started doing work on my drum practise pad while watching TV. In that time I have put in at least an hour on the drum pad while watching 2 hours of tv 4-5 times per week for some 3 months. My hand and finger skills and control have improved 200%. My double strokes are better (more even) and faster. And having set myself a task of increasing my single strokes speed from 120ish, I am now up to 224bpm.
I completely endorse Rob’s words about time spent is the goal to improvement & useful time can be practise time on a practise pad whilst watching TV.

[ScienceAppliedForGood]

Thank. That was good advice. As they say, just do it ... million times.

[michaelmcalister]

I would play full lp's and cassettes when I started in my early teens, now 50.
