Drum warm-up: 16th notes with accents Thanks to Alan "vyacheslav" from drum-talk.com for this drumming warm-up 16th note exercise, which I am playing at 120 bpm in the video. Here it is: 4/4 Time, RLRL sticking A. Start by playing each of the following phrases once. (Accented notes are surrounded by stars). The total length of Part A is 4 measures. Phrase 1: *1*e&a *2*e&a *3*e&a *4*e&a Phrase 2: 1*e*&a 2*e*&a 3*e*&a 4*e*&a Phrase 3: 1e*&*a 2e*&*a 3e*&*a 4e*&*a Phrase 4: 1e&*a* 2e&*a* 3e&*a* 4e&*a* B. Now play only the first eight notes of each phrase, then repeat. The total length of Part B is 4 measures. *1*e&a *2*e&a 3*e*&a 4*e*&a 1e*&*a 2e*&*a 3e&*a* 4e&*a* (Repeat) C. Finally, play the first four notes of each phrase once, but repeat four times. The total length of Part C is 4 measures. *1*e&a 2*e*&a 3e*&*a 4e&*a* (Repeat 4 times) The idea is to do the whole "cycle" (A, B and C) without stopping in between. Doing this exercise with a metronome will really help your timing!

Drum exercise: paradiddles and displaced paradiddles Try this one out! I'm playing these at quarter note equals 150 beats per minute, with each stroke counted as a 16th note. Regular paradiddles RLRRLRLL (4x) Displaced paradiddles RLLRLRRL (4x) Different displaced paradiddles RRLRLLRL (4x) Then string all three patterns together. Now you'll be in 3/4 time: RLRRLRLLRLLRLRRLRRLRLLRL (4x) Good luck and keep practicing!

Drum warm-up: triplets with accents Thanks to Alan "vyacheslav" from drum-talk.com for this drumming warm-up triplets exercise, which I am playing at 120 bpm in the video. Here it is: Start with 4/4 Time, RLRL sticking A. (Accented notes are surrounded by stars) Play each phrase once. The total length of Part A is 3 measures. Phrase 1: *1* trip let *2* trip let *3* trip let *4* trip let Phrase 2: 1 *trip* let 2 *trip* let 3 *trip* let 4 *trip* let Phrase 3: 1 trip *let* 2 trip *let* 3 trip *let* 4 trip *let* B. (Time signature changes to 2/4 time) Play the first six notes of each phrase, then repeat once. Total length of Part B is 3 measures. *1* trip let *2* trip let 1 *trip* let 2 *trip* let 1 trip *let* 2 trip *let* (Repeat) C. (Time signature changes to 3/4 time) Finally, play the first three notes of each phrase, then repeat 4 times. Total length of Part C is 4 measures. *1* trip let 2 *trip* let 3 trip *let* (Repeat 4 times) This gets into some really cool polyrhythmic stuff, and REALLY helps your timing with a metronome. Even though the time signature changes from 4/4 to 2/4 to 3/4, you can still use a metronome because the meter doesn't change (quarter note is still the downbeat). To really make this a challenge use different stickings, like RRLL or RLRR LRLL or RLLR LRRL etc. Have fun!

A funky drum ride pattern exercise This simple exercise will mess with your brain a little bit, and could help you create some funky ride patterns on the hi-hat or ride cymbal. Throughout the entire exercise, play a strong backbeat on 2 and 4 with the left hand. 4/4 time, quarter-note equals 112 bpm, play it in this order without stopping: ( R means 16th note with the right hand, - means 16th note rest ) RRR- RRR- RRR- RRR- (repeat) -RRR -RRR -RRR -RRR (repeat) R-RR R-RR R-RR R-RR (repeat) RR-R RR-R RR-R RR-R (repeat) (repeat entire pattern) Have fun with it!

Drum exercise: diddles with single-stroke accents Try this exercise to help you play accents during drum solos. The idea is to play a flow of 32nd-note diddles, but interrupt them with accents. The accents are single strokes, and they are counted as dotted 8th-notes. The exercise repeats every three measures. First, I play all three measures. Then I play each measure separately, four times each. I'm playing this at quarter-note equals 100 bpm.

Drum warm-up: displaced double strokes Here is a good drum warm-up involving displaced double strokes: RRLLRRLLRRLLRRLL (repeat) RLLRRLLRRLLRRLLR (repeat) LLRRLLRRLLRRLLRR (repeat) LRRLLRRLLRRLLRRL (repeat) I am playing these as sixteenth notes, at a tempo of quarter note equals 120 beats per minute. Thank you, from Dave Moadel

Rock Pedal is a Rock Band drum pedal replacement made out of a strong, real bass drum pedal. It is stronger and quieter than the original Rock Band drum pedal.
