Hi there Rumble(rs), we’ve got video number four in our Beginner Series! I’m psyched to share this with you all. Today’s video is our first “Combo Pattern”. You’ll be putting together the Single Strokes, Double Strokes, and Paradiddle into one phrase. This is such a great (and under utilized) sticking to develop our control, speed, dynamics, you name it! Dig in, and have fun!! (FOR YOUR BRAND NEW DRUMMERS OUT THERE) - If you haven’t watched the first three videos in this Beginner Series, I would highly recommend you go back to check those out before jumping into this one. I hope this video is helpful. Let me know in the comments below if you have any questions, and/or what you think. There’s more in this Beginners Series coming, so stay tuned… Thanks for watching this clip!

Hi there Rumble(rs), thanks for watching this clip! I’m so very grateful for your support! 🙏🏼 So, I stumbled into “The Hunter” while messing around in practice. I love when stuff like this happens. It’s a great example of why we should always carve out a portion of our practice time to just play! Now it’s time to go back and actually practice the groove…clean it up, put more feel into it, etc. For more from The Drum Shed 👇🏼 🔴 Locals: https://thedrumshed.locals.com 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Nicholas_TheDrumShed 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/njsansone/ 🟢 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-4378230 #thedrumshed #drumshed #shedtime #drums #practicepad #drummer #drummers #drumming #practice #moeller #moellertechnique #handtechnique #foottechnique #stickcontrol #rudiments #accents #music #musician #groove #grooves #fills #drumfill #drumfills #drumpractice #practice #practicing #practicetime #practicesession #practicesessions #learndrums #johnbonham #bonham #ledzeppelin #ledzep

Hi there Rumble(rs), I’m back with video number three in our Beginner Series! As usual, I tried to keep this as simple as possible. In this video we’re learning the standard, and simple way to develop a popular rudiment called the “Paradiddle”. The PARADIDDLE is a combination of Single Strokes (which we learned in video #1) and Double Strokes (covered in video #2). I think you’re going to really enjoy practicing this sticking. When I first learned this pattern I felt like I was finally playing a “real drummer” thing. LOL. I hope this video is helpful.

Hi there Rumble(rs), here’s the second video for you true beginners out there. Once again, I tried to keep this as simple as possible. In this video we’re covering a vary basic and easy approach to Double Strokes. If you partner this sticking with yesterday’s sticking (Single Strokes) you will have a wonderful start to developing as a drummer! I hope this video is helpful.

Hi there Rumble(rs), alright so this clip has the mess and slop of truly just jamming around. Here I just played the first things that came to mind, and went wherever my brain took me. Some of my favorite moments from practice sessions are had when I'm in this frame of mind. I edited it down to give glimpses of where my brain went during the jam, but I also tried to keep a solid example of the good, the bad, and the (hopefully not too) ugly. It's important as students of music to be honest with ourselves at all times. I'm still a student. We all should stay one. Keep drumming! And I hope you enjoy these Shed Time clips. 😎🙏🏼 For more from The Drum Shed 👇🏼 🔴 Locals: https://thedrumshed.locals.com 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/njsansone/ 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Nicholas_TheDrumShed 🟢 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-4378230 #thedrumshed #drumshed #shedtime #drums #practicepad #drummer #drummers #drumming #practice #moeller #moellertechnique #handtechnique #foottechnique #stickcontrol #rudiments #accents #music #musician #groove #grooves #fills #drumfill #drumfills #drumpractice #practice #practicing #practicetime #practicesession #practicesessions #learndrums

Hi there Rumble(rs), so some times I like to linger on one thing that stood out to me when I was jamming. In this clip, I'm hanging with that funky-ghost-note groove from a previous video titled "Messing Around". I'm still not using a metronome, just kind of free-forming it. Feeling things out, but with intention. (Or, trying to play with intention haha) I encourage you to try concepts like this when practicing. So far, that's been the main idea behind these "Shed Time" videos. When learning an instrument we can often find ourselves being very rigid in our practice...some times that's exactly what's needed...other times its so healthy to just let go, and play. Give it a try, see what happens... Keep drumming! And I hope you enjoy these Shed Time clips. 😎🙏🏼 For more from The Drum Shed 👇🏼 🔴 Locals: https://thedrumshed.locals.com 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/njsansone/ 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Nicholas_TheDrumShed 🟢 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-4378230 #thedrumshed #drumshed #shedtime #drums #practicepad #drummer #drummers #drumming #practice #moeller #moellertechnique #handtechnique #foottechnique #stickcontrol #rudiments #accents #music #musician #groove #grooves #fills #drumfill #drumfills #drumpractice #practice #practicing #practicetime #practicesession #practicesessions #learndrums

Hi there Rumble(rs), this clip from a recent practice session is an example of working on a phrase in all it's messy glory. 😆 As you can see and hear, there's plenty of room for improvement. But, that's exactly what I wanted to share with you...real practice. Another thing I hope you'll find in this video is a small taste of the different type of ways you can work on a groove, or fill, or even song idea. I think it's so good to always carve out portions of practice time to include just playing with joy, and experimenting with your drumming ideas. Keep drumming! And I hope you enjoy these Shed Time clips. 😎🙏🏼 For more from The Drum Shed 👇🏼 🔴 Locals: https://thedrumshed.locals.com 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/njsansone/ 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Nicholas_TheDrumShed 🟢 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-4378230 #thedrumshed #drumshed #shedtime #drums #practicepad #drummer #drummers #drumming #practice #moeller #moellertechnique #handtechnique #foottechnique #stickcontrol #rudiments #accents #music #musician #groove #grooves #fills #drumfill #drumfills #drumpractice #practice #practicing #practicetime #practicesession #practicesessions #learndrums

Hi there Rumble(rs), so here we find myself stumbling...roughly I might add...into a groove from Led Zeppelin's "The Crunge". ***Side note: If you haven't heard that song, you MUST. John Bonham's drum parts are killer on it. "The Crunge" is on Led Zeppelin's 1973 album "Houses of the Holy". Anyway, so I stumbled my way into this odd-meter groove. Super fun to play, but I've got much work to do here. I'm sharing it with you, once again, to give you and idea of how practice sessions can go. These are always great moments, even if their messy or challenging. So, search them out for yourself...keep exploring, pushing, searching on this instrument. Now I need to go back to the record, and actively listen to hear exactly what Bonzo was playing. Then I'll take it back to the Shed, and flush it out more concretely. Keep drumming! And I hope you enjoy these Shed Time clips. 😎🙏🏼 For more from The Drum Shed 👇🏼 🔴 Locals: https://thedrumshed.locals.com 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/njsansone/ 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Nicholas_TheDrumShed 🟢 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-4378230 #thedrumshed #drumshed #shedtime #drums #practicepad #drummer #drummers #drumming #practice #moeller #moellertechnique #handtechnique #foottechnique #stickcontrol #rudiments #accents #music #musician #groove #grooves #fills #drumfill #drumfills #drumpractice #practice #practicing #practicetime #practicesession #practicesessions #learndrums #thecrunge #ledzeppelin #ledzep #ledzeppelincover #johnbonham #bonham #bonzo

Hi there Rumble(rs), so this clip is from a portion of my practice session where I was working on a particular phrasing or groove idea. Some times I find it fruitful to explore those ideas uninhibited by a metronome or a song in mind. Just explore, feel, and see what comes. Some times it's great...other times it's not, BUT it's ALWAYS worth the journey! During this portion of practice I remember thinking about the snare drum phrasing, as well as the overall tempo I was trying to feel out. These are just some concepts, ideas, or parameters you can think about during your own Shed Time. So, have at it! Keep drumming! And I hope you enjoy these Shed Time clips. 😎🙏🏼 For more from The Drum Shed 👇🏼 🔴 Locals: https://thedrumshed.locals.com 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/njsansone/ 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Nicholas_TheDrumShed 🟢 Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-4378230 #thedrumshed #drumshed #shedtime #drums #practicepad #drummer #drummers #drumming #practice #moeller #moellertechnique #handtechnique #foottechnique #stickcontrol #rudiments #accents #music #musician #groove #grooves #fills #drumfill #drumfills #drumpractice #practice #practicing #practicetime #practicesession #practicesessions #learndrums #explore #ghostnotes #ghostnote #tempo

Hi there Rumble(rs), this video bounces off of the previous "Shed Time" clip. Here I'm taking the same groove idea, but now focusing on the sound and technique of my stick heights (also commonly referred to as levels). Working on your levels, especially for ghost notes, can be a tremendous tool in your drummer tool box. If you haven't dove into this aspect of your playing yet, I'd highly recommend it! Always try improving your dynamics. It's been such a great help for me. Keep drumming!

Hi there Rumble(rs), this is the first in a series of videos you’ll find here on The Drum Shed that I’ll be calling “Shed Time”. The idea here is to give you a glimpse into my personal practice (Shed) time, as well as, hopefully give you some inspiration as to what we can do in these type of sessions. Some “Shed Time” videos will show myself working in on specific topic, others will find me jamming for fun, and others might show myself working on a tune…I’m sure lots more ideas will come as these practice sessions progress!

Hey there Rumble(rs), I’m back with today’s clip of warm-ups from 🥁 practice this morning for you. Today is all about Triplets, both 8th note & 16th not Triplets. This pattern is a fantastic part of a warmup routine. It’s super useful in so many elements of our drumming. Practicing this diligently will improve your hand technique, stick control, speed, endurance, relaxation (while playing), and creativity in fills. I, myself, could certainly make things smoother at this tempo. ***This pattern is great to use when working on the Moeller Technique, but more on that another time. 😉 If you’re a fellow drummer, get after it and enjoy! 🎥🎧***iPhone audio Exercise below… 8th Notes & 16 Notes Triplets.

Hey there Rumble(rs), back with today’s clip of warm-ups from 🥁 practice this morning for you. Still going with some Flam stuff! This time the Swiss Army Triplet. I’ve always loved this rudiments phrasing and application on the drum set…I think it’s why I practice it almost everyday. Anyway, this pattern has nice turnaround at the end of each measure so you can work on both right & left hand leads. Watch you stick heights, focus on clarity and control.

Hey there Rumble(rs), here we are with today’s clip of warm-ups from 🥁 practice this morning for you. Continuing with some Flams…but we’re combining those with Paradiddles, and some Single Strokes. This is a really fun one to play! It has a great feel and flow to it. As with all these “Morning Warmups” videos, there’s many things we can focus on. One thing to do right away is to focus on the specific accented notes, and try to keep everything else softer. ***This routine with help you develop your Flams, Paradiddles, Flam Paradiddle, and 32nd note Double Strokes.

Hey there Rumble(rs), got today’s clip of warm-ups from 🥁 practice this morning for you. Finally some Flams! In this case, Flam Taps. These things are the best. They’re a great way to spice up your phrasing, fills, and solos. Lots to work on here…control, dynamics, flow, stick height, timing, feel. I for one was a tad sloppy at times in this take…but I’m keeping it real for ya. 😜 ***I did this clip using 8th notes, but ideally you’d practice this using 16th notes.

Hey there Rumble(rs), I’m back with today’s clip of warm-ups from 🥁 practice this morning for you. We’ve got accents moving around on this one. Really fun to play, and this too is great for control, dynamics, timing, and phrasing. As with all these morning warmups, my goal is not just to get my hands and brain working, but it’s to develop hands in a more musical way. This pattern definitely feels and sounds musician.

Hey there Rumble(rs), got today’s clip of warm-ups from 🥁 practice this morning for you. This is another simple one, but again so so good for stick control, dynamics, timing, and speed. Focus on your grip and hand technique…loosen things up. If you’re a fellow drummer, have at it! Make it apart of everyday. 🎥🎧***iPhone audio Exercise below… 16th Notes.
