Bedankt

prior to watching this I was starting to feel a bit of confidence on the drums lol

Perfect drum video. No pretension. Just, here's how you do it. Love it.

'Scuse me, fellas. I gotta go practice for about a million years. Thank you, Steve.

What a monster. And he's not even trying. He just is. Absolute Wecklmania. This is just toooo good to pass. You got me man. SUB SUB SUB. Taught the lesson clearly. No mystery here.

Fabulous playing! Great Tee!! If Buddy were still here, he'd be wearing a Steve Holmes Tee right now!!!

Hey! I heard Dave Weckl refer to you as a great drummer yesterday! I always knew that, but it was awesome to hear Weckl say it!

Hey Steve, great playing, thanks for all the terrific insight, very helpful! Cheers!

just awesome. best youtube lesson i've seen in a long time. great work. time to go practice

Your motion, your sticking just smooth. Great lesson. Thank you

I feel like you are one of the few drum instructors consistently putting out stuff with doubles in it. It’s just refreshing to hear you play

Steve is the best educator! So many of my Chops have come from him! Thank you Steve

So nice that you took the time to share, such a cool lick Thanks!!!

Thanks.one of the most clear and useful explanations ive seen

A nice change from all the matched grip single strokers. Rudiment expertice is the key!!

Very nice lesson & I appreciate the video. The explanation was very simple and easy to follow. Thx

Wow....so simple yet sounds so awesome

Yes, you have god like chops but it sounds musical. It's not fills for the sake of fills. Bloody outstanding, Steve. Can't wait to get behind the kit, once I've got over Covid.

Steve's tutorials are always Amazing. Thank you

Gave this a thumbs up because there's no "love it" option. This is a great lesson, thank you very much for posting!!!

Super cool way to play those triplets.

Your 16th note triplet lesson was a game changer for me years ago. I'm certain this will be the same!

Does KZfaq need another drum video? Yes! When they are yours! You are the only drummer on KZfaq demonstrating licks and technique for the advanced drummer. I appreciate it immensely.

So amazing Steve! I played drums as a teen. I performed some shows in LA Sunset Blvd., got married and focused on the business and stopped playing for way too long. Many years later I joined a country Rock band that I'm current in. We have opened up for some known artists which has been great experience. Other than keeping great timing and some basic fills here and there, I've never have advanced to the next level as a drummer. What you posted and how you demonstrated it for me, is so inspiring and will be the only what I practice until get it down fluidly. Thanks a million for posted this triplet sticking!

You ‘re my most favorite teacher now!

KZfaq suggested this.. Great find. 😉 Great lesson.

Dude, you're an excellent teacher and an amazing drummer as well. Please keep making videos!

Great concept. Thanks Steve...

Drums sound awesome

fluid like water, thanks!

Simple and very fluid. I love it. Thanks Steve !

Your drums have gone to another level of great sound !!

Beautiful playing and an exercise I will develop for my soloing. Thank you!

Whew, too good. Great lesson. Your hands are insane. Drum goals...

Beautiful example of some simple motifs that you've put together in a very musical way. Applications here are really endless from face melting combos to beautiful melodies with well tuned drums. Thanks man! Very inspiring

I wished I would have shown an example stringing together multiple group 1's which also sounds super cool (Bonham-ish of course). I showed multiple group 2's but not group 1's. You can hear what it sounds like at 0:07. The hands are split between the floor tom and snare but if you put them all over, it also sounds super cool.

Omg another incredible lesson from an incredible musician. Steve, you have changed my drumming world, and I can't say thank you enough!!!

A year a half ago, I began practice drums with some of your videos. Very useful for me. Thank you.

Thanks very much Steve. Valuable insights here. One of the most “striking” being how relaxed this approach can really be. The power comes along as well, but so much more fluid and creative. Keep up the great stuff! 🙏🏻

Great lesson! I never intentionally put those stickings together

I haven't played in a few years now and your vids have inspired me to practice. I end up hating what i play but then i see some videos that make me think, ok if i practice some simple things maybe ill like what i play and start playing again. You know you can hear the same message from 10 ppl but sometimes it just takes the way someone explains things to make it get thru to you. Cheers bro and thanks. Ive never been great but occasionally i can be ok.

Great lesson, thank you. You can hear Gadd had such an influence on guys like Colauita, Weckle.. and the rest of us mortals. Beautiful how drumming gets passed on through the years.

So happy to see Steve posting again 😀

Holy wowsers...gonna try this during my next practice. Great video!!!
