158Reggae & dubOne-drops, steppers and deep pocket. The style Brian says you have to live with for a while before you can play it right.136FunkSixteenth-note grooves with the accent in the right place. Tight hats, ghost notes, and a backbeat you can dance to.81Drum solos & techniquePure playing: solos, double bass, hertas, linear grooves and stick control.79MetalFast, heavy and loud. Double bass, blast beats and the Force of Rage and Ancestor band footage.42Progressive rockOdd time signatures and long-form arrangements - the Rush and Neil Peart end of his playing.26Latin & reggaetonThe reggaeton beat Brian calls the most popular beat in the world right now, plus salsa, samba and Afro-Cuban feels.23RockStraight-ahead rock and roll - the first thing Brian played and the first beat he teaches a beginner.14Hip-hop & electronicLive drums over programmed music -, dubstep, jungle and boom-bap feels.13Shuffle & bluesTriplet-based shuffles, half-time shuffles and Texas blues feel.11Jazz & fusionSwing, brushes and fusion chops. Brian teaches this last, not first.668Other668 clips Brian is still sorting - most of them short street clips. Dive in.
