You might best know Rob 'Beatdown' Brown from his popular KZfaq channel, but after you watch this hour-long lesson you'll also know him for his incredible sense of pocket and groove.
Rob emphasizes that "no one will yell at you for sitting in the pocket," and that overplaying isn't necessary. Most drummers get hired to play pocket, and for their sharp decision-making skills: knowing what to play and where to play it.
In this lesson, you'll learn that drum parts don't need to be flashy to work, and how to get into the right headspace before practicing your pocket. That's why Rob is confident that this is something you can improve 'overnight': it's a conceptual exercise that'll help you immediately change the way you think about drumming.
Once you find your rhythmic foundation, you'll learn how to practice playing in the pocket, how to use the click in a few different ways, and why you should play 'from the ground up' by focusing on your feet first.
After this lesson, you'll know why the hi-hat is such a powerful tool for creating grooves and why internalizing subdivision is so important.
Lesson Outline:
0:00 - SONG: "Broadway Hustle" by Rob Brown (from the playalong album "Beatdown's Pocket Builders")
4:40 - Introduction
8:55 - Finding the rhythmic foundation
19:41 - How to practice the pocket
26:29 - Playing from the foot
30:35 - Using the click to improve feel
41:40 - Biggest takeaways
46:40 - SONG: "Take Six" by Rob Brown (from the playalong album "Beatdown's Pocket Builders")

@@Minikin24 I'd say that's kind of missing the point of his videos. For the most part they are practical lessons in improving your groove, feel and rudimentary skills. Another way of looking at it, it's cool and all, watching Marco Minneman play a different time with each limb, but to enthusiastic amateurs like myself who want some practical tips on becoming better musicians, Rob Browns' stuff is gold. That's why the dude gets so much love, that and the fact he makes it accessible by not flinging a tonne of chops in your face
@musicmusic6595 3 жыл бұрын
Yeah we need to go back to the basics of drumming, far too much emphasis on chops and people seeing great drummers on youtube following in that influence. Being a great studio musician is where it is at and learning how to not only hold groves but develop your own phrasing and feels is incredible important fundamentals. You listen to guys like morello and rich in their recordings and they can do it just as well in the studio as they do live, same for guys like cobham, vinnie c etc.
@riverfilms4548 3 жыл бұрын
@@davidgomersall7185 The thing is Marco Minneman is a great drummer, who has practised these basics long ago, now he puts that time signature thing on top of the "pocket layer". But you have to be able to play in the pocket to make difficult time signatures and grooves sound tasty. Thats the problem I guess.
@davidgomersall7185 3 жыл бұрын
@@riverfilms4548 Absolutely 100% agree, you don't get to be Marco Minneman through chops alone and you have to know how time works to bend it out of shape and back again. And don't get me wrong, I love watching the virtuoso performances that Drumeo keep bringing us. My point is that, personally, I find Rob Brown's content really practically useful for learning and polishing those fundamental skills. Another couple of decades practice and I MIGHT be able to apply some of Marco Minnemanns lessons.... always good to have ambitions, right?

The pocket is a fancy way of saying "playing consistently in time and grooving". People don't usually define it precisely, which sucks, but you'll know when you feel it.

@kirjian yes! Exactly I could not define it even though I tried 😅

Rob Brown..one of the most pleasant guys to listen to! I've been following him for a while now and he's helped me alot. He had a vid on how to make any snare sound good, and I tried it on this crappy snare I have, and by God it worked! Shout out to Drumeo for having the groove master on!!

2 years old but I love re-watching this whenever I feel like I'm taking my students on unnecessary detours. Rob Brown is one of my favorite resources for drum material! His style is totally different than mine but I wish I had half his attitude

Rob Brown is awesome! Just the way he teaches, and his playing style is amazing. I have learned alot from this pro. Love to jam with him.

Probably one of the best lessons on here in terms of the sheer about of stuff to take away. Just about that GROOVE. I want part 2 with Rob Brown!
