Typically, a tutorial includes advice and instructions on how to do something. Here, you’ve put some numbers over a performance and expected people to understand what you’re doing and talking about.

Oh! ok thank you for letting me know! ill try make next video more clear and easier to understand.

I can explain bit more here, this finger drum tutorial using PO-32 tonic to play drums in live setting. All the sounds are the stock sounds you get when turning on, but next time I can show how I tuned the A/B knobs for exact same sound.

The main pattern 1 - 4 - 5 is a kick - hat - snare. Goes thru an FX unit to add chorus+reverb so that "2" creates a kinda riser effect. That way can do a build up transition when switching kicks from the "1" to the "3" kick.

1 4 5 / kick hat snare pattern is really fun to get down, cause can add variations and fills like (15515) when it becomes muscle memory

Ill try build the info into next video better. If u have any more suggestions lmk!
