Funny! I play guitar and bass, and I always loved to learn drums too. The first exercise I would try to do (by instinct) was right the first you described! Because I noticed this "coordination problem" between right food and right arm as you showed us. Thanks for these gold videos, I think I'll learn the basics in less time with your help!

This is probably one of the most important videos for beginners out there. Capture it and store it on your hard drive before it gets deleted coz its a 💎

Something tells me im still a beginner .

This is a great tutorial, thank you. #1: 4:01 #2: 4:35 #3: 5:08 #4: 5:42 #5: 6:15

I want to thank Drumeo for being one of the best, and the one i've stuck with and thank you for your beginner focused programs. Me and my better half, my lady, both want to learn how to play the drums. Thank you Markus from Sweden

It took me all day to figure out correct terminology to ask about this. I've only been playing in a church band (Praise & Worship songs). Never touched drums but always wanted to, wasn't sure if I could at 45 yo. But this old dog still learning those new tricks! With help of your videos, I feel like I've had a strong start. We've played 5 or 6 songs for church and received lot of positive comments. I love Mercyme but several of their songs have a snare or kick drum between the hi hat hits. Everytime I practiced those songs, I had these same problems. I'm going to start practicing these exercises and see how it goes. I signed in for free trial but just can't afford the lessons right now but hopefully will at some point. Jared, you are the coolest ever. Thanks man. I'll give you an update when I've mastered it or if I'm just ready to quit. - - - Mike Darnell

this video was a lifesaver I got the first practice down in about a day and I'm playing much better thanks for posting this

Drumeo Rocks! I already feel and hear the difference in my practice! Thank you all for what you do!

Oh yeah Just what I needed Exactly my problem with right hand and leg doing same things.

I too had much trouble with right hand and foot separation right when I started. I find it amazing how difficult it can be when you start, but how incredibly easy it is after a ton of practice.

SIR JARED,THE WHOLE TEAM AND YOU ARE LIKE GODS OF DRUMMING. YOU CAN DO SUCH DIFFICULT THINGS EASILY WITH AN ACCURATE TIMING. I'M A BEGINNER SO THAT IF A TEACHER LIKE YOU TEACHES TO SOMEONE IT BECOMES LOT EASIER AND QUICK TO UNDERSTAND.

Great lesson, I'm new at playing drums, trying to take all this in . Driving a truck and watching these on the road and than going home and trying what you teach on here at home. You do a great job. I got to take my snare drum with me on the road. Thanks for these free lessons.

Your parents sound so supportive I asked for a drum set for christmas for 2 years in a row when I was like 11 and 12, they could've gotten me a practice pad or something but nope, just barely bought a 350 dollar electric one and I'm 23

#4 and #5 messes with my head when I finally independenced my right leg and right hand.

Jared, got a 5piece Tama set last year and I learned from watching you and I'm still struggling but I won't give up and thanks for inspiring the new comers.👍

oh my struggle hurts. Thanks for this.

Check out these artists on iTunes: Sublight, Rene Thomas, Riley Armstrong (Whatever The Weather album), Michael Wood Band. I've played on hundreds of more unreleased tracks as well. Enjoy! - Jared Falk

your exercise really helps, i went everywhere to find the trick to seperate right hand and right foot your lesson is the first lesson which actually helps and helps to a verry good extent please upload more and please number your lessons according to the level of druming i request you to upload the heal toe technique please

thanks mate, leaned all 5 in two days and I'm feeling really good, thanks for the exercises :)

I remember having the same problem Jared! I am starting to teach some drum lessons and like the approach you are taking. Thanks Jared

this helps me a lot,I'm a beginner church drummer and don't know how to separate my right hand from my right foot,but then I saw this vid,and now I learned it..thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️ Hope you can recommend me another videos of yours ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I really dig this guy's teaching style; easy to follow even with more complex demos... Thanks, Jared.

Brilliant!! Easy to follow and shows the music. Thank you SO much for sharing.

I'm 32 and 3 days ago I bought my first drum kit and I need to say - those exercises are marvelous! I'm suprised I'm doing quite well tho, practicing hard with drumeo!

Very useful tutorial, we love all your tutorials...

You're a fantastic teacher! Thanks. I'm learning a lot from your videos.

I'm a beginner drummer, started in September. Can you please do more beginner drum lessons? I have been practicing exercise 1 for a few days now and I'm really finding it helpful!

I am 45 and just started to play with my son who is 15. I thought that i am never going to learn to play but this exercise just gave me some hope.

great lessons i really love the "x-fill" video. when i first started i was very uncomfortable with everything,from setting up my kit to posture to just playing around on the kit. Your videos really helped in all my problem areas.Slowing down and being relaxed is a big thing.....thanks and keep em' comming.

Thanks for this lesson, it's helped a lot.....it's finally starting to happen! ☺

I've been playing the drums for about a year now, I struggled with this a lot. I don't struggle with it now, but I enjoy watching the beginner videos :)

Love this guy. Thanks for these lessons!

Great presentation and lesson I have found. Thank you. I hope you keep posting.

Just got my first drum kit today! Your lessons are so helpful! :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE this video!!! Such great help!!!!!! Thank you!!!!

I love you so much! I've been looking for help on this like crazy :o much love man much love

This helped a lot! This is a really good tutorial!

A great song to learn to play along with is "Ticket to Ride". I set my e-drums to play a tambourine when I close the high hat. This song really forces you to have independence of both feet, and playing both hands together, other than the bridge. Took me a while to get it right, but once you get it, it's a lot of fun. Ringo may not have been the greatest technical wizard, but his grooves are great for learning how to play for the song. I think as a beginner, he's a good role model to follow. I also find AC/DC and Bad Company are cool to play along with doing a simple rock beat, and you can slowly add in your own fills. Good luck to all beginners like me!

Metronome and counting will make a world of difference. Eventually muscle memory takes over a bit, but as a beginner, I have only gotten better by counting with an app called "Drum Beats +" - you can set it to count in, and it's not just a metronome, it has a section called basic training where you hear the actual drums playing, can slow or speed it up. So you match yourself to it. Been helpful for me, along with these types of tutorials.

I'll definitely try to learn these. Thank you

Thanks for the tutorial! Useful and great presentation.

I am so thankful for your videos it is helping me a lot to improve thank you a million

Thank you!!!! This was very helpful as that is my number one difficulty!!

Dude thank you so much!! I cannot get my feet and hands to work independently so this is just what I needed

This is a great lesson. Especially that number 4. Definitely need to work on that left foot.

this is a fantastic lesson. i am finding bass drum independence difficult, but your advice is very helpful - as was your opening comment about how much you struggled with this (given how well you now play). many thanks. gordon

Great Lesson like always Jared!

As a 38 year old who got his first drum kit a few days ago, I was all smiles until I got to #4. At least now I’ve got something clear to work on!

Definitely glad I stumbled across this video! Thank time to use it.

Thank u a lot Jared I learnt this in like two days it helped a lot

Can’t stress how much these help

I'm so glad I found this. I really been struggling with my Independence. Gonna do these every day and see how long it takes. I'm doing pretty good on the first three my first lesson.

thank u so much i am trieng to teach myself drums and this has really helped me as this was what i was struggling at most!

I love that bass drum sound!

This was so useful and helpful! Thanks

Congratulations! Your life has meaning now!

You sir are amazing. I was so close to giving up because I have been playing like you said you used to play! Now... After practicing your simple (for about 3 days) lessons I have a new spark! Thank you so much!

mr jared thank you for your lessons this lesson was what i was looking for! it was the best lesson for me thanhk you

Will do.Keep up the good work.

Great tutorial Jared. I started drumming yesterday and I'm a 70 yo lefty. This tutorial is going to help big time. I thought it was going to be easy, but it isn't.....

Well I dont have a kit but my carpet and cushion plus a powerful imagination lets me play along with u so thanks for the lesson its really helping me out already.

I had the same problem when i started playing, could not separate my limbs at gun point. I practiced pretty much the same pattern as you only i did it all the time on my knees and tapping my feet on the floor. I got the hang of it after a couple of days. Do you have any tips on learning to use Ghost-notes?

Dude this helps me a lot! Thanks man!

Thanks I had this problem and it helped a lot!!

Excellent tutorial my 9 year old won't listen to my advice so I said. There is a kit in the garage knock yourself out and when you want to learn something come and see me. 20 minutes later after sounding like he was building a shed, he had got bored and wanted to learn something. I sat him down and said watch and listen to what this guy is saying. 10 minutes later he's back in the garage and playing 8th notes on the hats quarter notes on the bass drum and half notes on the snare. I think he has caught the bug. ROCK 'n' ROLL!

Thanks a lot 💐💐 You are really helping me in the journey 👍👍

Thank you very much sir I am new drummer and I am facing lot of problems and I think that this lesson very useful for me

Cool lessons !! Thanks man !

I like the phrase you used "splitting up your limbs" I think when you achieve that, you can declare your ability to play drums.

Great video, this will help me big time

Tremendously useful video... Thanks!

oh i needed that Jarred! thanks

So helpful! Thank you!

Beginner drummer here, thanks for posting this video.

thank you so much for uploading this

That helps so much thx u so much!!

I'm new to drumming, I can do some complicated rolls and beats... stick a different bass independent beat and I'm screwed. so glad I found this video. some practices I think.

This is gold.

I do need it this time.

Great video,very helpful thanks

Great lessons. Bummer the resources to download are gone though. Thanks so much Jared!

NIce lesson, thank you so much

I am a begginer myself as I am originally a guitar player with drummer issues so I am deciding to become the drummer. So THANKS For this video.

This is awesome thanks man :)

Tanx 4 your share your talent.

Thanks Jared ! 👍

Jared is an awesome dude! 👍🏼

This was an excellent lesson, thank you! I'm definitely a beginner - playin' on a really old drum set (it's got some pretty old heads - might replace these eventually, but for now I think I just need the practice...maybe you have a lesson on tuning??). I'm just starting out, so any tips, suggestions, help are much appreciated.

This was really helpful, I am surprised that Ii have got the that in 2 days, Thank you *please keep uploading :)

he has a few hand speed and endurance videos on his website, all you gotta do is practice whatever you like but making sure you feel that burn in your wrists/shins. that burn is you increasing your speed and endurance. and yes, lifting helps with general stamina and energy (unless you drum right after you lift!)

Thanks. I’ve only been playing a month but this helps.

Good video man. I'm just starting out with drums, though I've played other instruments for several years. I think the exercises you and others describe will help my playing sound more sophisticated and hopefully help with my keyboarding as well

I was able to quickly understand the way you teach

大変参考になりました。Thank you.

Those are great 😊

Thank you so much!

i have been playing drums for few months and i had this problem not being able to separate my right hand with right foot.If anyone has trouble with it i suggest using the moeller technique at least on the right hand.That motion makes it easier to separate the right hand because you fill in the up beat with a movement.Don't play doubles just use the whip motion for singles.My 2 cents i may be totally wrong but this is what helped me.

Hey Jared thank you for what you do I like the way you explained things it's very simple a lot of people on KZfaq 10 to talk to you like you're a first grader how about that thank you sir what you do and explain it in layman's terms 😜👍

I get it when I try it for the first time, i like to play the120 bpm awesome!!

This is so me haha. Totally going to try this!
