I don't know why but there's this really satisfying feel to odd time signatures

“one two three four five six sev—shut up”

For the very first time I understood these odd time signatures. I just wanna say thank you so much! Keep on educating us more power and love to you brother!

Rob, your lessons are so great 👍. I'm a beginner living room drummer, with a new TD 17 kit. I'm 66 years old, a bit rusty 🥴and drumming helps me to keep movable and happy and to train the brain 😁... You're teaching with much passion and composure and you help me making progress... 💪👍😎🥁

“You can clear a dance floor in seconds, playing anything in odd time” LOL

Great lesson.I'm not even a drummer.
I'm saving for my own kit.

I've been playing for some time and I'm also a pro teacher (not drumteacher though). I like the way you really give the minimum needed info to learn stuff. There appears to be the concept of trust for the viewer or at least a way to see the viewers (learners/students wahatever) reasonable persons, not some fragile beginners: no need to over emphasize everything and especially the hardness of everything. If you listen and practise, you'll learn it. Not a big deal. The big deal comes as time goes by and you learn little by little combine the learnt stuff into real music. Nice one!

Dude, I am a metal drummer and I can understand and apply your lessons better than most any other metal drummers lessons. You seem to break it down and teach in such a way that its has really made me a better player. Thank you \m/

Drums are lots of fun. :D

Shots fired on 7/16!!!

This man is the sensei. So many wonderful, clear, and instantly applicable lessons. You can also use this video to teach yourself how to count any weird time signature you're wanting to use by breaking it into chunks of 1s 2s and 3s.

Ah, got the ole stage customs out. You're really a one man band. This really help explain it out. I've heard and played 7/4 but the 3 and 2 counting really simplify it. Thanks for all the good drum content Rob.

Yes! I don’t feel ODD anymore. Best lesson in odd time grouping.

Though I wouldn't call myself a "beginner" drummer I have always struggled with conceptualizing odd-times and then trying to play them around the kit. Yours is the best explanation of the count phrasing that I have ever come across, and I thank you for it! Keep up the good stuff!

This guy is amazing. Such an inspiration

Just for your information. The Καλαματιανός is one of the best known folk dances of Greece and it is danced to music in 7/8. It is really not difficult to dance a Καλαματιανός. The grouping (sub division) is 3-2-2 and you just step on the first count of each group, so on the counts 1, 4 and 6. You do much more complex things on your drums :-) Some other Greek dances in 7/8 are Τικ τρομαχτόν (2-2-3), Ζαβλιτσένα (3-2-2) and Μαντηλάτος (2-2-3). There exists really a lot Greek music with an odd time signature (5/4, 5/8, 7/8, 9/4, 9/8 etc.) and mostly people dance to that music, no matter what the bottom number of the time signature is. Anyway, just to let you know. I always enjoy your great lessons. Keep up the good work!

Nice one..... Perfect video for easy learning 💪

Oh man, that video helped me so much when it comes to couting on 5/4 and 7/4. Everything is more simple and made me feel happy. Thank you.

Played for many years with and for many people. Saw a few of your videos. You are blessing what appears to be many people, young and old. I appreciate you. And I believe that they do as well. God bless you Mr. Brown.
