Your boy, Kit, from the United States of Barbecue. You're a good teacher and a bada** drummer. This helps me out a great deal with my solos. I play blues.

Right hand lead is a great tip for playing on the drum kit. Helps to build a solid groove. The Elvin Jones style, inverted paradiddles and paradiddles are good ways to move around the kit. Not sure if it started with Elvin, but a dominant right hand is a big part of what I've often heard called Elvin Jones style. I recently saw a video of Steve Jordan saying many famous rock drummers had the "roll" in "rock n roll" because of Elvin Jones' influence. For drummers learning this concept, an easy way to see how a right hand lead helps strengthen your groove is to play a simple rock beat (4/4 with eighth notes on the hat, kick on 1 and 3, and snare on the backbeats). On beat 4 of every fourth bar, play two eighth notes on the snare drum; a simple fill. First try the fill RL, then try the fill RR. Most likely, you will notice the RR version sounds more consistent and has more precise timing. By playing RR your right hand doesn't have to stop and start. It keeps playing the same thing as on the hi-hat, except on the snare drum.

Man you can really lay it out and serve it up for others. And you can play the hell out of dem skins to yo.

Rob you just became the MASTER of Placements!

Soloing has always been an area of weakness for me. I'm grateful for this tutorial. Great work, Rob! Loud and Proud!

This is a very similar method that my old teacher used to teach me how to fill, groove, and solo. Use your right hand to lead the "melodies" around the kit and let the left hand fill in the gaps. Mentally, you are no longer cluttering your brain with complicated stickings and rudiments. Just think of how it sounds, and play it. No more paradiddlediddle double diddle single single blah blah.

Loved this. Thanks

Man, this changed the way i play drums. Thanks Rob!

Thanks Rob, been tuning in to your vids for a little while now - they're inspirational! Makes me enjoy getting on the kit and working towards something. Cheers mate, peace from Australia 👊

Digging this idea. Thanks man!

Love the lesson. Been trying to wrap my head around this concept for a while and this lesson just gave me a clear path. Thanks!

Awesome job brother!

Can’t get enough of you vids 👍🏻

Great! Kick started me on the next phase of practise, I've been kinda doing this without knowing it, this has given me a cool direction! Thanks Rob

Thanks! Bless...

Another great video/lesson Rob. Thank you. You teach on a hands on, motivational level that explains and encourages applying the technique.

Best drum channel in KZfaq,thank you, you are great 👍🏼

Thanks Rob! You're a gifted drummer and teacher!! Easy concepts to grasp, but still a challenge to improve on speed and technique!! Keep em coming!!

Your a good teacher man!

Can't wait to try this out Rob! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and know-how.

Great tip!

Nice lesson Rob!

Smokin' Rob. Excellent bro.

Thank you Rob ....inspirational !

LOVE this Rob! I've been trying to improve my flow around the drums.....thank you!

Tank you man, valeuuuu!!!!

Even though it takes everything I have to just keep a steady rock beat (with metronome), I still love these advanced videos and someday will be using these tips! Thank You Rob for fabulous instructional video as always! 🤘😝🤘

Just stuff I was working on . This gives me different look at the whole thing. Ya I do the paradiddle grove with the hi hat then do paradiddle for fills it cool. So is this video. Thanx for the different look at it .

Great video Rob. Thanks for sharing

Good stuff brother! Thanks! Great gateway to other things!

Hey! Excellent.

Man this is great! I always watched drum sheds wishing I could do it and these vids are really taking me to the next level! Great vid

Very nice!

Hey Man, great class. Thanks for sharing. Added a lot to my vocabulary and really helped me phrasing different ideas. Cheers from Brazil

I thought it was the United States of Beer. Fantastic, super practical drum lesson.

Great lesson Rob That kit is sounding sweeter man I love it

Great video

Rob you are a good man as always

“United States if bar b que.” I’m dead😂

Thanks for that great lesson rob!!! 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱😁😁🥁🥁🥁🥁

So should you have domination with one hand, or should you inspire yourself to have the ability to dominate with either hand? That's where I'm trying to get in my playing.

wow lol man your the coolest man and a kick ass drummer bro! keep it going! rhythmically perfectionism sound!🎸

man you are goddamn hilarious and a great educator. Spend a lot of time looking at other sources of similar information and they're all boring and awful. You're pretty much crushing it.

You are the best Rob, really cool tip, greeting from Poland

Nice Rob, simple stuff goes along way. For the newbies not knowing he is doing if Rob didn't mention it...Ex1 is RLL over 4 which will eventually resolve back to RH on 1 again (on the 4th bar); Ex2. i believe are inverse doubles, leading with the RH accent goes you the fell that you are accenting the 1st note of the doubles; Ex3 is just playing paradiddle all accents with RH. This is a great exercise even playing on the pad RH lead then switching the LH playing the accents. 5 stars again my man Rob - UDAMAN!!

Another great video .. I love the concept .. am having a hard time hearing and grooving the first pattern .. (finding my way back to "1") .. I know the pattern is generally RLL RLL ...... but I know you break out of it at times to get to multiples of 16 .. I would love to see the full sticking of a bar or two of this first pattern.

Dammm Rob . I've been working hard on my non dominant hand . Going around the toms right hand lead and coming back floor . rack to snare left hand lead .

Hey Rob, that was a sweet lesson. Of course well played with a good description! Love it ! THANKS =)

Thanks for this. Would love some exercises incorporating kick with this concept. Maybe interchanging lead hand and bass drum? Or just throw a kick at the end of the exercises.

Rob been a while with out watching your videos awesome!!!!!

Great video! Sweet tips and they work amazingly well. Great shirts too!

Gotta get me one of those shirts!! Great exercise, thanks for breaking that down. You’re the best RB!!

The shirt is sweet and the solo is sweeter! loud and proud awesome!

Got my Canada shirt. Now let's see if I can learn sum.

Those flams and fills were super clean man! Awesome vid!

Great lesson Rob! As a lefty, playing open handed, I’m working on strengthening right hand for leading fills.

Hey Rob I just wanted to say thank you so much for your awesome tutorials. They have been very inspirational to my playing. I had a question about the Herta Rudiment. Carter Beauford is the main drummer that I see using this Rudiment alot and sounds amazing every time. It would be awesome to see you demonstrate the Herta on your Kit and give us different ways to apply it around the kit.

Cool exercises man. Really dig your channel. Keep doing what you're doing man. Just ordered the American loud and proud T shirt.

I think the like to dislike ratio says it all, awesome vid Rob!

Hahaha, I saw the shirt right off the bat. You remembered us down here!

Hahaha that American shirt reveal was perfect!

Caaaaaannnnnn you Diiiiiggg iiiiitttttt ?! Excellent video Bro!

Lol u make me laugh I love those American shirt !! Thanx for this lesson !! Awesome

I want that shirt...BTW I love your tips and lessons...SO GOOD and keeping it real. Thank you from Montreal ,QC Canada eh !

You’ve probably answered ‘‘tis a million times but can you tell me what speaker/monitors and mic set up you use?

United States of BBQ......LOLOL!!!

Rob while are you air playing even you wristband sounds like some percussion. :D

Sir rob the first one i cant understand how the metronome and the triplet

with some well tuned toms, we can get some melody in there as well 😎 😂 trolling with those "loud and proud" shirts.... what about a version for brazil? i'm american and i'd wear that ( not just because i love a brazillian woman 😄 ). i'd even wear the canadian version.

I am dominant left, but play standard right cross over setup... :( I would like to fi that- any tips for me to get back to being a normal right hand lead drummer?

GREETINGS FROM MEXICO!!! HEY GUY!! WHAT ABOUT US IN MEXICO?!! WE NEED A SHIRT HERE IN MEXICO!!

United States of BBQ... x) I just spit my cofee on my keyboard

I really can't wait until my left hand gets stronger with doubles so I can start doing this type of thing. I can't stay in time with my left hand past 80bpm.

Bro is that kit tuned with your “tune flat....” technique or you got some extraterrestrial tuning device? Sounding gorgeous bro. 🇳🇿

Guess your T shirt link is...extinct. 504 error or another attempt says it doesn't exist. Aside from that, your channel grooves!

Wouldn't the gist of using Syncopation to learn how to solo be something like this? Playing the melody figures and then just filling in...

Robb I will order a shirt buddy on payday I promise I need that USA. we from the bay.

You’ve got a few Australian subscribers too RBB 🇦🇺 🦘🦘 🦘

thx Rob

Are those the Dave Weckl sticks?

Ho , wait a minute... What about your Dutch subscriber(s?). No Dutch flag version ???
