West Green! I only know a few folks from West Green. Thank you for the love. 10,000 subs.
Yes sir! That is good. Drop them some rudiments in the comments. Queens, New York in the house.
West Green in this thing. Seattle, New York, West Green, Atlanta. Let me know where y'all from.
What I'm doing these paradiddles, regular paradiddles. Seattle, Hearnham, Florida, Milwaukee,
North Carolina, Vegas, Michigan. Thanks for the love. Alabama, Birmingham in the house.
Family Essence. Double paradiddles. Maryland in the house. Stone Mountain, Georgia.
Do you have family in Atlanta? What part? Yeah it's only in Atlanta for right now. We're virtual as well.
Lollipops. I don't know what those are. I gotta look those up. Triple paradiddle. Oh yeah. Atlanta,
we're practicing on Riverdale, Georgia and Clarkston, Georgia. The online sessions
for the small group is 90 a month. Every Tuesday at 7 for beginners, 7 30 for intermediate.
Yeah I've been to Birmingham before. Individual lessons are $40 a session online. I have been to
Birmingham before. We've got several invites to come to North Carolina, several. Somebody help me
out with something. How come my YouTube videos don't get views like they used to? Even my shorts,
multiple bounce roll, YouTube tripping. That's what I thought too. Make sure y'all go follow my
other channel now, the Snap Drum Academy. Make sure y'all follow my other channel, Snap Drum Academy.
You should do that right now. Probably because some people hardly watch them in like a long time.
That could be. Do I teach my students to read music? Yes, yes. Gotta learn how to read music.
They have to be ready for those college scholarships like you. Okay, keep it going,
having fun with the league. You just started doing band? I have a lot of videos you can go
and look at, man. I'm going to post some more. Make sure you follow that Snap Drum Academy page
though. Make sure you follow that. Book report. Luckily I remember that. Thank you so much.
Individuals are not willing to spend a few minutes. Yeah, that's true.
Thank you. I can be better if I practice a little more. Start developing a practice routine.
I appreciate you guys chiming in, man. We got to get the videos back up. We got to get back
to the basics. Pugada. Pugada. So they're called Pugadas. Yep. People want to be fancy and don't
realize it starts with rudiments. You are right. G2. Eight beaters. Is eight beaters right, right,
right? Left, left? Is it like three against two? I think. I got to look it up. Yes, man. Zayden.
Start off with your basics, man. Start off by eight on the hand. Learning your different strokes
like your rebound stroke. Your rebound stroke. So let me show you and tell you. Learning your
strokes. Rebound stroke. All right. That's your main one. Imagine yourself dribbling a basketball
off the pad. Rebound stroke. Your down stroke. All right. Know how to stop the stick. And then
the up stroke. Those are the three that you need to know. All right. Rebound, down, and up. Those
are the three that I teach. Rebound, down, up. Work on those. Thoughts on the roots, drummer. Questlove.
My man, Questlove is the man. T'Charles. I don't know how you do those. Connor Speedshop. March
and Snap. Nice. What are T'Charles? Big M, I don't know those, man. I'm sorry. I'm going to have to
look at the rudiments sheet. I never heard of a T'Charles. They always come up with new rudiments,
man. Down stroke. Don't drop it, though. You got to control it. I usually let it rebound to about
three inches, which is usually tap height. Hot pepper cheese. I don't know what that is. I think
I've heard of that before. That's a cadence, right? Down stroke. All right. But don't drop it. Don't
press it down. Just allow the rebound to maybe like three inches. I didn't make the school band
so I bought this. Can you find me some good tutorials? Look on my page. Look on this Atlanta
Drum Academy page and make sure you follow Snap Drum Academy. ZRFN. I'm talking to you. Play
hot pepper cheese. I don't know that. Work on that rebound stroke, man. Rebound, down stroke,
and up stroke. Like pulling the sound out the pan. Don't give up, man. It's still time. Don't give up.
D and K. How to play paradiddles fast. So what you can do is practice doing a double stroke roll
and then morphing to paradiddles. Paradiddles. Got to know how to use those fingers. D and K.
Triple paradiddles. Zip. And it helps me do paradiddles. So take the diddle off first. Just
go like right, left, right. Left, right, left. Right, left, right. Left, right, left. And then
add the diddle. Right, left, right, right. Left, right, left, left. Right, left, right, right. Left,
right, left, left. Kenwood. This must be one of my students. Playing paradiddle. Flamadiddle.
It takes a lot of control to play flamadiddles. Snatch a little from Moves Young. I haven't
played that in so long. X Factor. I haven't played that in a long time. All right, man. That's it.
I just wanted to go live and come say hello. Tell everybody to follow the new channel.
The Snap Drum Academy. All right. And I'm going to go from there. What got me into drumming?
Look, man, this is the gift that God gave me, bro. Nobody really had to teach me how to do it.
I was playing drums since my parents bought me my first real drum set when I was five.
You know, God gives everybody a gift that they good at. Everybody's good at something. And this
happened to be my fatal four. I don't know that. Next practice is Sunday. Make sure you subscribe.
God bless. Y'all be good. I'm pretty sure there is a square drum pad somewhere.
All right, man. I love y'all. Y'all be good. Peace. How do I end this live? Thank you for
praying for me, man. I'm praying for you too. I appreciate that. We all gotta pray for everybody,
man. It's a real time we in.
