Fastest Way To Get Faster – Drum Lesson Series By Jared Falk

Fastest Way To Get Faster: Take’r For A Rip, Eh? – Drum Lesson

(rock music) (playing drums) – Hey everyone, it’s Jared here in my 10th and final lesson in the Fastest

Way To Get Faster series There’s not doubt about it, you’ve put in a lot of hard work and today we’re gonna take’r for a rip, eh?

And that’s obviously I got to get a little bit of the Canadian humor in there. Everyone always mocks us for saying aboot

and they mock us for saying eh and take her for a rip. Canadians are kind of like that but I think we’re all just

really, really nice and we just want to get along and be really really friendly with everyone, so maybe we use a little bit

different language like that. Now what I mean for take’r for a rip, eh, is that we’ve learned so many cool techniques

and so many cool things over the course of this series, and we’re gonna kind of take them all for a rip here. We’re gonna put

them all together and see how they sound when we combine different techniques and combine different concepts. So the first exercise,

we’re gonna combine stuff from The Illusion Of Speed. We’re gonna make it a little bit more challenging though. So we’re gonna start with

one group of 16th notes on the snare drum, right hand bass drum left hand base drum, then we’re gonna play a group of 32nd notes,

alternating hands with the kick drum in between, then we’re gonna go back to 16th notes, and then then we’re gonna

go to 16th note triplets. So we’re gonna use three different note values in one bar. Here we go.

(playing drums) The next exercise we’re gonna go back and study some of the concepts that we did

in Do You Even Math, which was the sequel of the original. So what would this be called then, the threequel? Threequel?

I don’t know, whatever. So in order to get this you just want to start nice and slow. I’ll play it for you much

slower than I’m even doing the slow tempo. (playing drums) So once you practice the sequence of notes

and the 16th note triplets, how they relate to the 8th note triplets, and when everything comes in it’s gonna be much easier

for you to actually play the exercise and get it up to speed. If you need to just print off the sheet music

and write the counts above the notes. Now you could also just take this as an example of what you could do.

So if you want to incorporate fives and sevens as 16th note triplets, you can do that, just write your own exercise

or just practice playing fives and then practice playing sevens. (playing drums) So now I’ll play this exercise

for you both slow and fast. Here we go. (hitting drumsticks) (metronome beeping) (playing drums)

(hitting drumsticks) (metronome beeping) (playing drums) And the final exercise in the Fastest Way To Get Faster

series, don’t start crying, don’t. Don’t do this. You said you wouldn’t cry. So the final exercise is

played as 16th note triplets, and here we’re taking some concepts from the Everything Is Cool When You’re Part Of A Team.

We’re playing stuff in unison. We’re also playing 16th note triplets as groups of seven, five, and three,

both as 16th note triplets and 16th notes. So again, if you need to print out the sheet music, write the counts above

it and just practice it nice and slowly to start, that’s totally fine. I kind of recommend that. But first I’m gonna play

it for you at both slow and fast tempos. Here we go. (hitting drumsticks) (metronome beeping)

(playing drums) (hitting drumsticks) (metronome beeping) (playing drums) Now once you can play

them each individually, I’d encourage you to practice them in your practice session for around five minutes each, and then start to play them

in sequence. Now this is a real challenge, so like I said, if you want to just kind of make up your own,

take’r for a rip type of thing, please do that, make sure you share it with me, okay, because I think

you’ve learned a lot and you’ve practiced a lot and you’ve got all these new tools, now it’s a matter of just applying them

and putting them into real world music. So whether that’s through these types of concepts or whether that’s through

something completely different, I encourage you to just kind of practice something and really kind of push yourself to start using

all these tools. So let me play it for you in sequence, both slow and fast. (hitting drumsticks) (metronome beeping)

(playing drums) (hitting drumsticks) (metronome beeping) (playing drums) Now that is the end

of the Fastest Way To Get Faster series. Now in each lesson I’ve given you specific instructions on how long to

practice each exercise, how long to practice the sequence of exercises. Now there’s 10 lessons, so this is kind of like

a 10 day routine, or you could take it and call it a 20 day routine and do each lesson for two days, but it’s really

meant to be around 30 minutes, 20 to 30 minutes of practice every day. It’s not meant to encompass your entire routine.

If all you practice is going fast, eh, you might have some struggles there. I really encourage you

to continue practicing other stuff as well. Start playing with other musicians, start jamming along

to some music, start learning different styles, listen to tons of music. We can help you at Drumeo, so if you’re not currently

signed up to Drumeo, please head on to the Drumeo website, there’s an incredible amount of information in there that really can help take your

drumming to the next level. So thank you so much for watching this, thank you for choosing to even watch this video

and study with Drumeo and study with me. I really, really appreciate it. There’s so much stuff on the internet

and on our phones and everywhere nowadays. The fact that you chose to watch this lesson and this video

means a lot to me. So thank you very much. If you ever have any questions you can email me at [email protected].

But like I said at every single lesson, if you want to get better, you need to do the work. Don’t be one of those

people that complains and has never practiced, or complains after just two hours of practice ’cause they can’t get something after two hours.

Sometimes it takes eight, sometimes it takes 10, sometimes it takes 20 hours to get something. But whatever it takes, just

keep putting in the hard work. Don’t stop. If you really, truly do want to get better you’ll make it a priority.

in another video very soon. (rock music)
