More of these types lessons, please!!!!!

RIP Aaron Spears.

Thanks Nate for taking the time to helps us drummers out. I really enjoyed this video. Very informative.

Yes! Yes! More CHOPS!!! If seriously, I personally like your channel because you always try to go deeper than others and talk more about concepts then certain licks. Most KZfaq drummers post "coolest lick ever", slow down, show the sticking. This "lick video" is pretty close. But explanation of where those patterns came from makes it worth watching!

Thank you. My problem with tom sweeps is focusing too much on the accents I want, and neglecting the sticking. The tiny, overhead camera was really helpful in this video 👍

Love this walkthrough and thanks for the Craig shout out. I’ve left a few comments on his channel. Killer stuff Amigo!

Yes Nate, more of these types please and ty

“Cuz it’s all about playing for the song, right?” Hahah!

Awesome video and great lessons 😃👍🥁

i'm not a drummer but I do a lot of beat programming and this is just a pleasure to watch. Brilliantly communicated . also loved hearing about the evolution of your lick

Dood!!!! That last lick you played melted my mind. Like, that shiz was TIGHT!

Wow, dude, great lesson!

8.08 Hounds of Winter, mr president.

Good stuff, man. I'm used to hearing "sweeps" as a different technique, but this was very cool. I know a sweep as a double stroke where the first note is on one surface and the second note is on another (usually a neighboring drum). I'm new to the channel. Good stuff, man.

Nice drum sound , resination is awesome like jazz set up.

I enjoyed this type of lesson. If only there was a way I could download a transcription! Missed opportunity it seems.

Nate, Enjoyed all of those. My only comment regards Bonham's Stairway lick. So many times drummers play that lick, and forget to swing it. That was one of Bonham's greatest assets, which I also think he took from the jazz drummers he listened to and admired. If you play it straight, you might be playing the correct number of notes, but it will sound stiff. Another famous sweep lick I always loved is Steve Smith's from just before the second chorus on Separate Ways. No doubt he stole from Gadd on that one, but still cool.. One of the sickest sweepers is the mighty Dennis Chambers. He does (has done) a one -handed sweep between the floor and snare that's just sick. I believe it's 32nds, and in its basic form is two rights on snare, two kick, two rights on floor. Sweep back and forth between the two at warp factor five. He usually does these on "trash can" endings, though I'm sure somewhere there are recordings where he uses this lick as a fill in a song. It's been 30 plus years, but I think he breaks this down on one of his instructional videos (had them both, just not sure which one, probably Serious Moves). I'm certain there are drummers who have far surpassed this, but I remember the first time I saw it, it blew my mind.. 👍😗

Slight variations from the Buddy Rich book,mix up triplets using the bass drum, and your half way there.

Always learning...thanks

If you grew up liking reggae, you may naturally do the Steve Gadd one. Matt Cameron on soundgarden, Superunknown , enough said!

nice fade!

the reverse sweep was cool, but they were all really good...can't knock the drummers used as examples either 🤘👊

Awesome lesson!

Thank you!!!

Thanks Nate. Excellent. Yes more please !!

if im not mistaken, isn't the bonham sweep comprised of two sixteenth note triple kicks (not just one) interspaced between 32nd note triplets?

Great and helpful video as always. Have you ever done video on Dave King?

No Dennis Chambers sweep?

I thought this was about sweeps. The only sweep I saw was is at 5:43. A sweep is a diddle or drag played between two drums off one hand. First note on drum 1, 2nd note on drum 2. Flying around a set isn't a sweep.

Nice.

Thanks a lot ❤🙏

Love all these drummers. But for some reason, Vinnie's is always a bit cooler.

Gracias

May I have another?

Because it's all about playing for the song, am I right guys? Drummers: 😶

Nate, anywhere I can find a free transcription of this? 🤷‍♂️

Taking a dump. Taking a dump. I am a taking a dump dump.

Great stuff! Thanks

Just love it bro

tasty stuff, as always. thanks, dude.

Transcriptions?

Lets get Matt Cameron on the podcast! His phrasing is ridiculous.

Bro, you talked through your *entire* presentation of the Vinnie sweep.😢

Pretty cool one

Great Stuff

🙏💪💯

hey bro u sound nice... do u make a living $$$ PLAYING drums ??

Now try that with using traditional grip just like Steve, Vinnie and Dave...The correct way of holding the sticks for sweeps.

Tom sweeps are cool, there's no doubt about that. And they have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with what makes a good drummer. What makes a good drummer is when you have a deep understanding of rhythm, timing, and your first priority, which is to serve the song. Anyone can be taught how to machine gun up and down the toms. That's just muscle memory. It's like--"Look what I can do isn't that cool?" Yeah, that's cool. Now let's see you play a groove for a song that's in 7/12 time and we'll see how cool you are. Just an observation.

Buddy Rich was doing sweeps and hand over foot combos and crossovers long before Max Roach.

Interestingly the pdf you graciously share has a tihai. At 4:02… traditionally I believe it would be called a 15 + 1 = 16. 5+5+5+ 1. From the beginning of the notation provided the bass drum shifts by a1/4 note so the last group of 5 starts on the beat with the middle of the 3 starting on the “ and of the beat. O tho l traditionally tihai’s usually indicate the end of phrase or solo. Great stuff as usual
