Jeff, I’m Jack from Holland and I’m 16 yrs old. I’ve started drumming just short of a month now, since my dad said I was talented. I’ve just started following your must know funk grooves video’s, then your fills video and now this. This is by far the best explaining channel about drums on YouTube. Very beginner friendly and I’m very keen on learning this to improve my skills. Thanks a lot!

I need more of those "rudiment to fill" videos! You're the most underrated drum teacher on youtube in my opinion:)

Long story short . . . start piano 2nd grade ( good at it ) for 5 years. Drums 7th grade ( already knew beats / rhythm, etc. ) . . . and watched a guy play the "set" . . . wah lah . . . Played in 3 '70s rock "bar bands" accum 30 years. I'm 62, and back at school. Already knew paradiddle and paraparadiddle of course. But, I"ve been playing "the same fills for 30 years." I stumbed on to Jeff . . . and this video. I've been at the basic RllrrLRllrrLRllrrLR for a week now. I'm getting there. I"m "back to school" and it's cool ! Thank You. P.S. I needed this 40 yrs. ago.

I'm a self taught drummer, and although I could kind of do a 6 stroke roll, it was never really smooth. I'd never heard it explained to break it down into two sets of 3 notes. For whatever reason that did the trick for me. I was actually treating it more like a single followed by a double-stroke and then another single and it never clicked. Within about 20 minutes of practicing over and over I got something that sounded halfway decent. Excited to go through the rest of the exercise!

Why he don't have 100k+ subscribers here yet? Jeff is one of the best drum teachers here on YouTube and the quality of his videos is awesome.

Not really a drummer but been learning drums a bunch and practicing double strokes on my practice pad a lot lately. This lesson has completely blown my mind with the importance of dynamics/accents along with how tasty simple rudiments can sound. Thank you so much for this

[samu.fliagn]

I just wanted to say thank you for giving young drummers a lot of inspiration and possibilities for practice new cool grooves and fills
You do a great job

As a computer programmer turned hobbyist drummer, I never knew what this lick was called but it was always my favorite lick as a listener. I am finding my rudimentarily challenged self tapping this one out on my leg, desk, or whatever surface i can find. This video has got my mouth watering to learn this one.
