This is why I watch beginner videos despite having played drums for some ten years. I am self taught, so I look for basic things I never learned, and today I learned why the hi-hat is tilted.

My left foot said "SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE" Her words- not mine. BTW I am your newest subscriber. I am sad I have not found you until now. You are a great teacher.

THANK YOU ! litterally nobody talks about this ..

[mrmisfit]

Most of the time it's his philosophy behind the exercise that gives me my greatest lesson. Thanks Rob ✌🏼❤️

Best left foot tutorial on you tube for beginners. Looks easy till you sit down the wtf moment happens. Practice practice practice

Best communicator in the drum tutorial world. The only subscription I need anymore!

A couple weeks eh? I think you might be right. K H S H. Looks so easy when YOU do it. As a life long guitar player, I just started playing drums...maybe a month now. Up until 2 days ago when I started doing this exercise, i was thinking double stroke rolls are the hardest thing for me to do right now. No Sir...It's this exercise. Thanks for the great videos. I've pretty much unsubscribed to all the other drum teachers. You're very thoughtful, straight forward and easy to understand. Thank you for doing what you do.

This is a great lesson. Been playing for decades at home but never used the hi hat foot. Its like starting all over again now but i love it. Thanks so much for this Rob...

[sandearcubus]

Neglected my Hi-Hat-Foot for the last three years. About time I do something about it!

[joegaspari]

Son of a gun, I never knew the reason for the bottom high hat tilt. Still with you on the lesson.

[andydragtstra]

I picked up drumming during quarantine and learned so much from your video's. You are a great drummer that likes to help a beginner out.

[markjob]

You are the Man!!
Thank you sir for your videos and you are my drum teacher.
I'm 56 and just bought a drum kit and loving it.

[damienlavelle]

I was looking around YouTube 3 months ago looking to get my left foot going and settled on this as well as the second in this series and I can honestly say it was the most my playing has improved.
Rob Brown, thanks so much love your playing.

[gabrielematthey]

thanks so much from a beginner ! I started one year ago, being 64 years old. Crazy, maybe, but never had so much fun before in my life. I live in Paraguay, where it is hard to find professional teachers, who are patient enough with an older lady, smile ... seeing your footwork now, base drum and hi-hat, you left me dumbfounded but eager to get this. I may need more time than the Youngsters, but your explanations are great. Thanks a lot, gracias y saludados ... Gabriele

Platinum quality lesson for beginners. Man, it's weird that I can almost feel my nervous system and the dank dark fat, deep in my brain actually re-wiring itself while practicing. Thanks, Rob! Gonna..."chew on this awhile!"

[frederickchubay]

I am a beginner and I can’t wait to try this. Thanks, Rob! 🥁

[channelindierock]

Play along with Rob. Get that muscle memory happening and may the groove be with you. It's nice to play along with all the pure backing tracks available on youtube once you have your brain and physical body in sync.
Another cool video. The drum mics sound great with nice resonance from the snare BTW. 5 years after this was made I revisited the video just to think about the fundamentals and maintain an enquiring mind that wants to always learn and relearn as a drummer. Can't stop learning... and relearning your chops.

[dougb]

Rob gives some tough love, yet is sympathetic! You have a great way of translating and breaking this down to be understandable.. Thanks so much for teaching - I feel I learn a lot watching your videos :-)

[motchness]

9:00 ohh man ive done this but with my right foot, to do it with my left foot is unlocking me as a drummer, i cannot wait to practice these exercises ! thankyou !

[sniffingglue]

I’m a returning drummer, having played semi-professionally to an advanced-intermediate level (being honest, I’ve never been professional/session ability). I went back to education had to sell my gear and now have a young family I have recently been in a position to buy a kit and get back to playing after a 12 year hiatus.
I’m now relearning my muscle memory and learning things I should have learnt properly back in the day.
Your tuition videos are great dude, proper grass roots skills that I can see will give a fantastic foundation from which to build.
Keep them coming matey and thank you!
