    Thats awesome!! The explanation, and the relaxed way of teaching thats people need it πŸ™πŸΌ
  • Great lesson and love your teaching style and videos. That would also be a great big solo/fill to set up a horn shot on the upbeat of 4.
  • @MJTNick
    Great lesson and above all: Fantastic kit/cymbal sound!
  • @brent3760
    Tim you introduced me to Funch and Lauritsen cymbals! Thank you and I love them both!! I have 4 of them between the 2 and will get more too. I have a little bit of a cymbal addiction. Love your stuff man!!

    That was cool. I practice that and work it into my playing. Thanks for sharing as I have not really worked with diddle-diddles since high school.

    That sounds killer man! The easiest and best rudiment to crush. Now do LH leads 🀣 What like about this rudiment is that when you separate the hands to the ride and the snare, the lead hand plays a jazz swing pattern, it lends to come cool comping stuff And is helpful when drilling LH lead.

    Love your lessons. I hate saying kick drum but it is the internet πŸ˜‚
  • @pandui
    Hey Tim, great lesson! Just a quick question - is there a difference between hitting a china/crash with a bottom up motion like you did here vs the usual top down one?
  • @johndiraimo1444
    Hi Tim... nice drum fill to get around the drum set. When playing the 2 bars of time before the fill, I notice that you play the Ride cymbal to beat 4 then begin the fill on beat 1 of the next bar. Could the "and" of 4 be played as a pick-up by a left hand on the snare drum ... leading into the Paradiddle-diddle?
