The snare on the Tama sounds way better. Bass drum sounds about the same. I prefer the way tighter sound of the Tama toms over the Sonor. Both are great and have their pros and cons. But I'm definitely a Tama guy. But it's really just opinion and preference in the end.

Very good lesson. I have watched that Tony Williams video series maybe six or seven times. Yes he called any bouncing approach playing "willy nilly". Why? He said one should play note with intention and control each note, especially fast doubles on the toms, especially the floor tom. I tried it and love it. However i use a finger grip on the ride cymbal, especially the jazz ride pattern. I do an exercise with the TW grip that has quarter notes on the bass drum. Then i progress with alternating hands around the kit first quarter notes (matches the bass drum), then move to 8th notes, then 16ths, then 32nds. I then back down the note value tree and end this duple exercise with quarter notes. Finally i do the same thing with the triplet note value tree. First again quarter notes, then 8th note triplets then 16th note triplets then back down ending with quarter note triplets. You can build amazing speed and control with the TW grip and this exercise. Thanks for reading if you did. Bill.

I recent got back into drumming and got Sabians XSR's for the kit. Didn't care for them a bit. Discovered Dream Cymbals and after trying out some at the drum shop, swapped all the Sabians out for Dream Bliss cymbals. I actually prefer the sounds of the Bliss over Zildjians also.

I had drum lessons when I first started playing drums, quite late on at around 26 yrs old... I carried on for 2 years with the lessons but found that I naturally veered off to the style or technique you're showing here. I was rehearsing live a lot in a situation whereby the bounce effect and the technique used, really didn't suit me or how I felt should work. Personal preference I suppose, but yeah, I still practice the same way today, a bit less through health reasons, I also tend to try and roll my hands over from the German style to French, keeping the rear most (3&4) fingers in contact with the sticks. Thanks for the affirmation, I've played this way regardless of advice because it just worked for me, you know how it is, we put hours and hours in regularly to be told by someone else, you're not doing it properly, like it's never been a consideration!??

Rounded corners began to be made in 1979. Considering that such black beauty drums were produced from 1977 to 1979, we can conclude that this is a 1979 drum

Wish 🤞🏻 the Sonar: Artist Series Bronze Snare Drum 🥁 came in a proper standard (596) *6.5” Depth.* The shorter 6”sounds 👂🏻 too Piccolo for my tastes, especially coming from an 8”depth snare drum.

6 year later commenting here to say that the Tama sounds absolutely tighter than the Sonor. Clearly, a much better choice as a recording studio kit. I’m glad you layer different styles bc it made me think Tama has been greatly undervalued for genres other than rock. This was a surprise bc I’ve been digging the more recent Sonor kits and artists (Benny Greb and Gavin Harrison, specially).

There are unfortunately far too few shops around where you can actually do this and try before you buy Unfortunately most KZbin demonstrations are EQ’d within an inch of their lives so you don’t always get a true reflection of the sound/tone/wash, etc

Uhh, I think Fred Hinger was using that. It became known as the hinger grip. But a modified french! In typmany the attack will beoow. The pitch fluctuates and sounds terrible. The idea is like ringing a bell! Kind of bong. It ,s a search for tone purity!

Hi! I also watched this video with Tonny. He also said that he is plaing every stroke with his hand not only wrist. You are showing only wrist movement. Why?
@KPG76 Жыл бұрын
Sonor = more mids, more fundamendal to the note, better suited to classic and prog rock where you need to tune the tomes to specific notes. Between the two kits the Sonor is the allrounder. Tama = scooped Japanese sound, more harmonics, better suited to 70s Italodisco and 80s rock/metal. More character but it will be difficult to play blues, country, roots rock or jazz on the Tama.

This is not called Tony Williams grip. It is more notably recognized as the little finger hold. This term was coined by Moeller and you talked about more through Jim Chapin. And I believe also that the freeing up of the thumb and forefinger of gripping the stick to let it accept the natural rebound.

Thank you for bringing this up. I noticed it as well. The " pinky pinch" grip has been around since the Civil War. George Stone taught it for years, as did Sanford Moller
@dasglasperlenspiel10 Жыл бұрын
Thanks for your comment. It doesn't seem to me to have anything to do with what little I know about George L. Stone, but I'm no expert on his technique. I have played in fife and drum corps with students of Moeller in fife and drum corps and you're exactly right bout his teaching. In most of the old military drumming book from the early nineteenth century this grip, or something very close to it regularly described. It is a lovely technique, offering a wide dynamic range with very little effort.

As a beginner it would be nice to watch this lesson in reverse playback. So it would be easier than having to translate right and left. Or you could just show your video from the side and it would be easier than looking straight on to someone that's opposite... This is the same reason boats use port and starboard instead of left and right. If boats use left and right if the skipper was yelling to you at the front of the boat and he said right you would go to your right instead of his right. Lol sounds funny but it's the same problem
@gurnblanstein98163 жыл бұрын
When I say translate I mean visually. Someone can tell you to use their right and when they pick up the right hand you'll match it with your left instinctively even though they've said right.
