Triplet Drum Groove - Full Drum Lesson

Love your work and lessons Mike 🙏

Dude, I'm 43 and have played drums for like 30 years. Classically-trained, went to UNT, played in rock & reggae bands, got to tour in a VERY unglamorous way for several years, etc... But my drumming the last bunch of years has gotten VERY stale and VERY complacent, i guess you'd say. Anyway, just wanted to say i love your teaching style, the way you think about drumming, & most of all, your obvious continued enthusiasm for playing. It's inspiring. The first video i watched was yesterday ("sassy triplets") and i jammed it all night. I love it. And I'll be going back & watching the rest of your vids. Kudos, my friend. Thanks for the inspiration. Much appreciated!

Hey Mike, why didn't you just edit the video where you mentioned Instagram? The world needs your videos!

Getting an error trying to access the course link.

PDF notation would be nice. trying to process the placements at the speed you say & show is wearing out my back clicker, ;-) Thanks for your great lessons!
What notation software are you using? I'm having a tough time writing in Musescore.

As a left handed drummer - will we ever see the day when we say Bass, High Hat, Snare - verses L RR L? My Left is your Right.

Couldn’t just edit out the Instagram part? Hate you hate to scrap the whole thing!

Visited this with some of my students, they played note after note...my grandson said, "Pappi, straight verses a 'groove feel' is rad! He heard that, which is so important! Mike, I've said it before, thank you so much for breaking it down into manageable chunks.. you are the master teacher!😎🤘🥁

Friggin awesome Mike!!
As a noob I'm learning so much from your video's 😃👍
Plus the occasional chuckle, it's the full package 😄
Keep up the amazing work!

I struggled to keep time in my head, can someone suggest a method that works for them? Thanks in advance.

It's really rare to be an accomplice musician and at the same time to be agreat teacher. This guy has both. Thanks so much Mike for the great content !

Plays very well over Gangsters Paradise.

I'm definitely stealing this one!! So smooth and sounds like a gadd shuffle type groove wow! I could just keep playing this groove all day and utilize it in chunks with other grooves too!!!!

I guess I’ll never be a drummer if I have to worry about l,r,l,l,k,r,l blah blah.
It makes me want to just give it up.

Thank you for this lesson! Merci beaucoup :)

Excelente profesor, saludos cordiales desde Chile compadre!

Stumbled upon your channel. First time seeing your vid. I’m trying to get back at drumming since I got my e-kit a few days ago (I’ll be watching your tuning videos next for my acoustic drums, collecting dust in the corner of my room). Awesome awesome content man. Subscribed!

Did anybody get the "I got a Mike here" joke?

Man you lessons are really helpful. Struggling with my chunks and left hand and saw this. I can’t wait to get on my kit and start practicing. Thank you for this!

what's up instagram

hi
Do you have any plans to make Your Metronome for Android?

Any recommendations track or play along with this kind of triplet feel groove and tempo ?

Mr. Inspiration.
Yet another great video. You're the best!

Excellent Mike, thanks. Well broken down, well put together. I love half time and triplets and this has given me a real shot of motivation to explore new territory.

Why did you change your cymbal set? :)

Thanks Mike! I made my own 4 chunks and playing 60 bpm to Sail by AWOL Nation. So much fun!

Love your style and grooves!!!

Your breakdown of this groove made me wanna get practicing all over again- Thank you for the inspiration!

Very nice, always on point!!

Next time Just Edit it out InstaCram Gone

Hi Mike, great lesson as always! What metronome do you use?

Nice bro !! Tell us some best bass Drum Pedals !!!

Notation please ❤️

Can you introduce the metronome app you use? Thank you

🤯

What a cool way to adjust a linear order, your mind does kick muscle memory in the ass but I love the vocabulary library I have been building with Mike since I retired...a gift to have a life passion to enjoy and be a never ending learner of the craft! If you are stuck in a rut, pull up Mike's lessons...my hero!

A revelation!

THANKS MIKE!!!!!!!!!

I’m just getting back into drumming after many decades away. Always loved the art, even as a kid, the drums pulled me in...........Black Watch, John Henry, Neil Peart, Steve Smith, Weckl, Simon Phillips, etc. saw Steve Gadd and talked to him about picking up sticks again...........’get a pad and pick up those sticks and work rudiments’. Love great videos like this........great drummers sharing and making us all better.

I'm singing Rosanna by Toto while you're playing the groove. Also, I love how all your lessons are just so well scripted and thought of.

Like it or not, I’m still practicing your deleted lessson. 😂 Aaaand, I changed it to make it mine.

Thanks for the recipe!

That light went out because of all those ghost notes haunting the damn place.

Delicious again Michael

Man, I can’t thank you enough for this. I’ve been looking for a groove like this to help me with my left hand and thought maybe I’ll just work on the chunks cause there’s no way I can get through that groove. Two days later I’m playing the “notes” of the slow version along with you. Just working on making it groove now. Super grateful 🙏🏼

For the longest time I thought that time 1,2,3,4 in the beginning was edited in! And thought holy crap, that's some editing mastery right there! However, it's the laptop screen behind!! Great lesson, really valuable!!😊🤘

What's up YouTubgram! InstaTube? 🥴🤣 Dude you can just edit that begining of that lesson you had and upload it again...
