By Jim | July 19, 2009
Post number 6 in this series of Actual Live drum lessons with real actual beginner drum students. They are off camera and their voices have been removed to protect their privacy, but you can hear their playing and see my teaching.
This particular lesson focusses on the single stroke four, and the four stroke ruff - two extremely similar drum rudiments.
This clip is not podcasted - I hosted them on youtube only - but you can see them here. If you REALLY want to get into absolute detail with rudimental drumming technique, I suggest you check out www.sticktechnique.com.
As usual drummers - Yours for better drumming.
