Simple but sounds great at a gig Not overwhelming for the audience and still nice to listen to. Inspiring video !!! Thank you !

Dude this was so helpful. I have my first gig with another band tomorrow night and although I’m pretty experienced I never was a solo type of drummer. And they WANT a solo as our closing song and I was freaking out about it lol. This is super helpful!

[vaughanxaviermusic]

Man the production of your videos is insane, you deserve way more attention. Please keep it up

“It's a lot like having a conversation! Just with yourself… on a drumset… there's nothing wrong with that!”
That was funny. 😅 Great lesson!

[benstone]

This is great, thanks Jeff! I get so overwhelmed with what I see on drum videos on YouTube. Thanks so much for helping a middle age dad refind the joy he had playing drums as a teenager by giving me something I can understand and learn!

[DaveMajor]

Why is 332 so useful and perfect! So much mileage in that underlying rhythm! Great vid as always Jeff

[sobolev]

Yes, I've been waiting for something like this for a long time. Thank you, Jeff

Hi, nice idea, thanks. Btw "randal" in czech means "noise" so another evidence that peoples' names and hobbies/proffesions are sometimes closely related.

[fkapav]

great man! Easy and quickly answer. congratulations for your job

[kathirandallwhitt]

Favorite fan says damn great lesson. So clear and concise.

[Oversite]

Thanks! This helps a lot for my school's jazz band because my director asked me to do a solo

[rodneyglass]

Band wants a short solo, and I am freaking out! I am a keep the beat, short fill kind of drummer but am going to work this solo and of course admit where I got it! Thank you, Jeff Randall!!!

[nelsonlourenco]

This is a great idea! Helps a lot. Thank you😊

[MattHaide]

Thanks for this! Great reminder to keep a theme and not have to chop out the whole way through a solo. I get overwhelmed if that moment comes up for a drum solo to try to throw too much fire (that I don't have) and then my mind goes blank when coming up with ideas. Good advice here!

You always know what to cover. Nice job Jeff. Thank you.

[therealandrewlund]

I'll be working on this to keep it in my back pocket.. My brain doesn't work fast enough to make it up (rather, put it together) on the spot, even though I've practiced these individual patterns a lot.

[VitoFleten]
