I've seen a good number of tutorials referencing these two patterns and suggestions for the various combos. Yours is by far my fave: it's well explained, simply demonstrated, and easy to follow. The soup-to-nuts examples you provide are unintimidating and accessible so that the committed beginner, experienced intermediate, and advanced players all can understand and digest this. Thanks so much, Josh! Excellent lesson.

My week is starting excellent with Josh.

Lowkey best drum channel on KZfaq

Hey Josh, love watching your videos. Always nice presented and good real teaching! And of course always killer playing. Keep up the good work and all the best. Stay safe and a big drummer hug from germany!

This is great! I've been working on these combinations separately but I haven't experimented with combining them like you've described. Thanks!

HeyJ I do have presets in my head I have been playing since I was 4. I am now 59 I am also an instructor at the School of Rock. One of the things I tell the students especially for fills is have at least 3 go to fills & decide which one your going to do BEFORE you do it . The biggest mistake new and intermediate drummers make is doing a fill & changing it right in the middle of it then coming out off time.If you pick 1 2 or 3 in your head then move your will flow will happen & time mistakes will stop.Take the time to work on intros & special parts by them selfs .Then add that to your standards beats😎🎵🔈👍

This will move things along for me.

Just picking up the drums again after a few years of medical issues. This video has me newly motivated and practicing again! Thanks for sharing these pattern combos!

Great playing man!!! I'll have such much fun with that when kids will go to bed:) Cheers from Poland

Hi Josh. Ive just come upon your channel this week and trying this system. My head's in a scramble. It's more fun than a crossword puzzle.

So Dope🔥

Thanks for the awesome content!

Thank you

Super! Thanks a lot!

Your amazing...great hands

Tremendo video me abrió la mente

Good stuff man!

thank youuuu

Amazing

This guys great

Vinnie appice rocks these patterns like no other.

i love that hi-hat lick played by foot + hand after that ... so Vinnie-ish !

Super vidéo très intéressante avec une batterie qui a une belle sonorité y compris celle de la grosse caisse contrairement à beaucoup de demo de modèle de batterie où la grosse caisse est vraiment détestable

You’re so damn good!

All while keeping that hi hat steady. Respect

Nice lesson mann.

great content. just an idea, add a simple track or even a pad when showing combinations or patterns. should add to the whole presentation. cheers my dudeeee!

Yoo thanks

Interesting last name - European (Slovenian) heritage for sure :) I live in an area of Slovenia, where there's many people with your last name.

Cool very very cool

Thanks a lot for this inspiration. i´m a beginner looking for some effective tips to sound like a real drummer. This is easy to understand but hard enough to get smooth with it in higher tempos. Very fine

The best

Hi, Josh! I've been watching your videos for quite a while now. I enjoy your didactic way of explaining things. One very small question: Which Meinl hi-hat are you using? I'm in love with the sound (both open and close). Thank you very much.

Amazing video, dude. Thanks a lot.

Best. Breakdown. Ever. Do you do private lessons?

Bravoooooooo

Who are the 7 people that gave this s thumbs down. This is great stuff.

1.2.3

Josh, I see the Zoom recorder in the background, starting at 0:16, and I see the snare drum mic. Is that all you're using for audio in your videos? I'm guessing you have the two channels on the recorder itself, and then two XLR in's; one for the snare, and one for the bass drum.

Whats the second crash on the very right of ur kit? Great lesson btw

Mega

Master JM what cant you do . dammit

Es a gud eshplaneshin mang me likey mucho

I play open position, hi hat & ride with left hand & snare with right. Can this practice exercise work for me if I adapt it somehow? Thanks

I was just messing with this last night except I had a Kick at the end instead of a Left. I'm fairly new to the idea of linear grooves and fills. I find that it's much easier to learn an 8 pattern than (2) 4 patterns...if that makes sense...🤔

nice.heads are g1 on toms? ;)

Favorite cymbal brand or you just buy whatever sounds good?
