Listen to this guy! He's 100% ... no 101% right on what he says here. I play drums since 1999 ... at the beginning i was a joke of a drummer and could not care less about development. Then i started taking things step by step. so #1, #2 and #5 should be the holy trinity if you want to play drums right! It hurts mentally and physically but after few weeks/months, just like in the gym training, you will want to do more and feel happy when doing it! Great video Rob! I was following exactly this steps that you described here over the years! And it works! I am not a great drummer but I am not a lousy one either! Cheers!

This is the perfect video for a new drummer! I just started playing a few months ago, and am constantly overwhelmed with how long to be practicing what. Breaking it down by the week makes so much more sense rather than trying to approach each day as something new. The only other tip I would add is to have a practice journal! Write down what you're planning to do and a short reflection on what you noticed can help influence future things to work on. It also has helped me organize my thoughts on what all I need to work on.

I have been a long time subscriber to Rob's channel. He has helped no doubt thousands of drummers around the world with his insight and generosity of his time and knowledge. Many many years ago this information would have been virtually impossible to procure. I feel that his success is from his own volition. I am an ardent purveyor of his doctrines and it truly has helped me immensely. Maybe the community needs to pay him back and let's all buy some merchandise from his store. It's people like Rob who actually gives people hope, confidence and can save lives with music.

Hands make all the difference. Learning different rhythmic phrasings using combos of singles, doubles, and triplet rudiments make for endless ideas. Learn those flam rudiments, too. Being fluid with flam accents, taps, inverts, swiss triplets, and even more weirdo rudiments, like tuchadas, will help dramatically with things like stick control and ghost-notes.

About 3 months ago, I decided I had had enough of watching what my wife liked (& I didn’t) and went upstairs to watch other programs. I also decided to do what a number of drum tutors recommended (but my wife hated) I started doing work on my drum practise pad while watching TV. In that time I have put in at least an hour on the drum pad while watching 2 hours of tv 4-5 times per week for some 3 months. My hand and finger skills and control have improved 200%. My double strokes are better (more even) and faster. And having set myself a task of increasing my single strokes speed from 120ish, I am now up to 224bpm. I completely endorse Rob’s words about time spent is the goal to improvement & useful time can be practise time on a practise pad whilst watching TV.
