Hey there friends,
This post is for those of you who've been following my Beginner's Series over on YouTube and/or Rumble. I want to give ya'll as much practice resources as possible. I hope this helps!
Attached you will find a drum chart for the exercises associated with the YouTube/Rumble video titled "WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THE METRONOME?! | BEGINNERS, START HERE!".
So, for you beginners out there...this one is specifically for you!
- Letter R stands for "Right Hand"
- Letter L stands for "Left Hand"
- The "+" in the 8th Notes pattern is shorthand for the counting of the "and" of each beat.
- The "e" and the "a" in the 16th Notes pattern are the added counting needed for 16th notes.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out in the comments below!
Keep drumming,
Nicholas
Hi there fellow Drum Shedders,
🚨This episode of the podcast premiered back on 9.26.2024 over on YouTube & Rumble. For those of you who haven't seen it, I thought it'd be good to add it to our Long Form Interview playlist here on Locals! Also, this episode was too big of a file to upload in one post...so it'll be in two parts...
Enjoy! 🥳🥳🥳

Today’s podcast episode is a super fun, and highly informative chat with my buddy Zachary Goodman. Zachary is a professional touring and session musician. He’s a multi-instrumentalist, regularly performing as a pianist, vocalist, guitarist, and bassist. Zachary has toured frequently with Dueling Pianos, and various cruise lines.His recording credits include The Grey’s, Ace Nation, and Love Pocket.
It’s been far too long since Zachary and I had the chance to sit down, and hang…episode 6 allowed us to do just that. I’m so grateful for his times, his openness to discuss all things music in his life, and for his friendship. For those of you...
