the first ones seriously dorothea teach me your ways actually she can look at this she's an instructor at drumeo so good [Music] that sounds even better when she does it on an actual snare drum right this clip is from an awesome lesson video on the drumeo website where she teaches you a really good exercise to practice for killer doubles i definitely suggest you guys check out that full lesson speaking of which drumeo is also amazing enough to sponsor this video if you want to start drumming get back into drumming or just get better you should probably get your butt on drumeo their website

to this sounds great no double bass but that's fine yeah excused [Music] [Applause] she's getting a nice uh nice crack out of that snare huh [Music] dude this is [ __ ] awesome look at her face too she's into it she was doing that yes yes she's digging it man [Music] she even did the film she even did the film [Music] [Applause] [Music] dude why is he so [ __ ] awesome little double bass yeah she's kind of doing her own kick pattern but it still sounds it matches the song it's great [Music] oh she put a snare in there [Music] smash that dry china [Laughter] [ __ ] great let's hop back over to tick-tock and see some more of her rudiment chops here those are quick flams like alternating what do you call that quick flames dude she's got [ __ ] chops yeah i definitely can't uh can't do that dude those flam triplets she just smiles that's incredible whoa whoa whoa the egg challenge what is this real eggs i'm going to put it over here in between the pads object is to play paradiddles i'm going to play the a little part over here on the soft egg and see what happens okay oh so this is to try to try to get your ghost notes really quiet not break the egg that's a pretty cool idea it's not breaking that's because you're [ __ ] good [Music] so it's training you to play your grace notes really soft grace notes another word for it and it's a mistake just take your egg [Laughter] can i always make scrambled eggs with it she's on jimmy fallon let's have another look she's gonna do a drum off versus quest love uh-oh uh how long have you been playing the drums 58 years hey that's what i'm talking about that's that's awesome you're going down quest love [Music] started off with a nice little groove [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [ __ ] i'm just kidding dude here we go she's pulling out the doubles [Music] jamie's loving it [Music] he's freaking out [Laughter] [Applause] [Music] in the air with grandma all right here's an instagram clip paradiddles at 215 beats per minute she says can you young people beat me uh-oh okay 215. here it goes she said poopy dude that's really good it's a fast paradiddle oh nailed it i don't think i can do a paradiddle that fast out nope all right let's finish her off here with one more video from drumeo she's gonna play what's my age again by blink182 oh my god dude look at this thumbnail they made for the video love this song too dude let's go [Music] nailed it is this a different kit than the uh disturbed video i feel like it's a different kit it doesn't matter i should just [Music] oh [Music] looking at her face i'm not sure if she's enjoying this song as much as she enjoyed the disturbed song but i'm just [ __ ] around maybe she's just concentrating [Music] that's the steve gad custom snare drum [Music] and she's nailing all the fills too obviously not like hitting super hard that really doesn't matter but she's she's nailing yeah she's doing it all [Music] now i want to listen to this album oh she added a triplet to the filth look at that she's like [ __ ] you travis i'd do a trip and you guys are like dude shut up what i like about this song at the very beginning in the intro travis barker uses drum rudiments and you know how much i love drum rudiments so if you've never thought about what that was when he was playing they are flams five stroke rolls and paddle fly flaws what the [ __ ] is a pad of fluff law so this is a great example of how to incorporate drum rudiments into punk rock drumming so you're never too old and you're never too young to start playing drums and you probably would never have expected someone like me to sit behind and play along to blink i've learned my rudiments over the years and was able to incorporate and understand what travis was playing so travis barker are you watching how about a drum battle [Applause] you
