all 3 terms - american , french and german - almost certainly have been coined in the u.s ; analysed accordingly too.
you're not thinking jazz ... just let it happen
time feels and drumset control should always come before rudiments ,imho ... no question , your band'll care far more about your time than your flamdragamacuediddles :)
for what it's worth , i like to accent the ride as i hear it : accent the quarter notes when it seems appropriate , likewise the ands , ditto on two and four.
when the tempo is really up , the notes will naturally even out , turn into straight 8th notes ; maintaining triplets at a fast tempo is impossible .
as always , the accents will make this come alive for you , will make your shuffle happen .
for starters , accent the quarter notes ( downstroke ) , and think off the last note of the triplet as...
jackie is absolutely right about this book being with you always. i bought it years ago and i am still finding new, useful ways to use it to this very day.
for what it's worth , i've always used...
Canberra is right .What you should being doing is starting slowly , and setting the accent up with an up stroke on the 'e' of the count - the preceding note - and coming down on the 'and' for the...
i do coated emps top and bottom on toms , tuned exactly the same ( medium tight ) . and then I de-tune one lug on top a little and likewise on the bottom - this makes them sing :)
fermata is the answer you're looking for .
if the arms are permanently kept in , i should imagine that executing an up stroke correctly is next to impossible : the wrist-up , elbow-out whip motion is part and parcel of the stroke .
and an...
steve gadd on an album by chuck mangione called main squeeze . the bars preceding the moment in question are intense and many of us would have would have played the fill blitzing rapid notes around...
The dot is a bit of an odd one as far as the drums are concerned because we as drummers aren't really able to replicate the notations full duration , namely that being to elongate the note in...
imo , books such as syncopations , stick control , etc , were designed for you to decide what you're going to do with them , for the student to look beyond purely what is written , for the student...
i earn far more through writing than playing drums,
and my advice is always to seek out a little knowledge , both harmonic and melodic , if you haven't already .
couldn't agree more .
jeff's passing was an incalculable loss to the industry , no question . he was such a talent .
as for rosanna , the secret , as always , is in accents : the high and low between the skip note and...
You just brought back a few scary memories from my Berklee days : writing 5+4 big band charts and having to write every part out by hand ; writing for smaller ensembles ; preparing for my 1 hour...
Although a drummer , I majored in jazz composition at Berklee , so playing piano was virtually a prerequiste for me. I wouldn't say that my piano studies improved by playing ( drums) but they...
I went in to Gigsounds in Streatham for the first time in years - used to go in there a lot when I lived in the area - the other week and was shocked. That place has really gone down hill .
Imho . you should listen to today's greats - Brian Blade , Jeff Watts , Bill Stewart, Jack deJohnette , to name just 4 - and then listen to Elvin Jones. After you've done that , listen to older...
Speaking as someone with a blind daughter , the first thing not to do is underestimate this student. Also , as with anyone with a disability , it's just a case of learning to adjust to their world ,...
If it is what has been put in front of him that has made him lose interest , change things , make things fun again . And after all , you'll get a gig not because of what grades/qualifications you...
There are quite a few techniques you can use. Take a look at the Charlie Persip vid on youtube. I'm sure it'll help.
To add my thoughts , for what they're worth ,you might want to experiment with...
