pls do more writing from scratch videos of popular scores like avengers transformers and schiendkers list

Insane!!!!

Fantastic

6:51 shuffle 8:45 swing

Loved the explanation 🎉

Sounds great. It's nice to hear a real musician talk about progeamming for a change!

Digging’ it!! 🎯

👌

Brilliant Version

Today's a first for listening to your channel, and I MUST say, this is one of the BEST explanations of "the pocket" I've heard described in a video! I was looking for something to share with a bass player at my church. He often seems to drag behind the piano, but drags only a little less when our drummer is present. I'm sharing it with him to help him hear and see what a gospel, spirit- filled, rthym section lives for (pocket). I think pocket starts with an appreciation of the various waves emitting from others helping to form the "pocket." It's a comfortable, musical search for that conjoined sonic wave that you "feel" when you arrive there!!! It's a beautiful ride when you feel everybody pushing it in the same direction. As a jazz vocalist, I count on the pocket to help me groove with it during solos. Many gospel melodies are specifically written to ride on and around the pocket, with emphasis often expressed during various vamps as the song builds.

You put out some great ideas here. I’ve been using Reason for about eight years, but two months ago I did some audio groove extractions and Pro Tools has some features that Reason doesn’t. I decided to switch to Pro Tools for a while, but I miss working in Reason, and DAW uses like this could pull me back. Great video.

bass line...whoa. layered on top all the exquisite rest, a perfect mix, really superb

So...are swing and shuffle synonymous?

there's only but so many sounds that would actually occupy the exact same frequency range as a kick drum, so why would u sidechain every track in the mix to the kick??? i understand sidechaining the kick to the bassline, but that's because they occupy the same space... but sidechaining every sound to the kick??? i've been mixing for over 25 years & never met another engineer who did that, i would love to hear what it sounds like.. do u have any videos where u actually did that?

This was the best visual!!!

Let’s go Sam!!!!!

Glad to see you back making videos. These are definitely some of the most useful reason guides out there!

The pocket is your ability to transition from lyric to lyric and be in sync with the beat simultaneously.

Would you say that whether brothers are dancing or not is as good as a metric to infer the quality of the pocket? ♥ Is pocket gender sensitive? Thank you for sharing and much love to you. Take care.

This is my cousin Samuel Prather. Keep playing music. I’m so proud of you. Your cousin Patsy in Florida❤️🙏🏾🥰

you could also address how relaxed playing (never rushing notes slightly ahead of the beat/metronome, and instead instead falling slightly behind if not dead on with the click), makes engineers’ jobs WAY easier if a recording needs to be edited to improve the groove. that in addition to be much groovier than rushing notes, of course. to fixed rushed playing, the engineer has to add time to the track (or group of tracks), which can cause displeasurable audio stretching artifacts, or distracting duplicated “air”, or ugly, artificially extended sustains. but removing time is much simpler for the engineer (ie ableton’s cut time function and pro tools’ shuffle mode), and does not create the hurdles and artifacts of adding time/air

this is a great explanation. 2:18 🎯🎯🎯 ***the pocket is NOT the grid*** (sometimes it can be, but don’t assume that shifting notes or LFOs onto the grid will get the best groove out of the track)

Thanks! I love the explanation but also the background music: what's the name of the song?

What a load of waffle. The pocket is often mystified and overcomplicated but it's a pretty simple concept; it's just where you hit the beat in relation to where it technically 'should' be in a flat count. Say we have a 4/4, .. we're counting a flat 1 2 3 4... now imagine the snare is on the 2... the pocket refers to where you place that snare in relation to the flat 2 beat. Do you push the beat and have it come before the 2, or pull it and have it come after, and if so, how much? This is how you define the pocket and determine the feel or groove of a beat. A band all playing in the pocket has nothing do with the actual pocket, and more to do with their time keeping abilities.

One of the best songs I ever wrote

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! THANK YOU!!

I use reason 12, is that reason drum kits a plug in that comes with Reason? I would appreciate any feedback. thanks

Great video, thanks for posting!

Thank You Very Very Much Sir!

thank you so much for this! I had a go at programming brushes and it turned out amazing.

Very nice for programming. Most live drummers have a hard enough time playing on time consistently. Splitting up elements is too much to ask.

i'm just getting back into reason and i love the re drum machine i forgot you couldn't use custom sounds in there ,i knew about nnxt i just didn't know how to use it properly and you you sir brought a wealth of knowledge to it and thus earned a new subscriber

Based on this I'd say you have a gift for describing the ineffable. Nice!

Wow...this is amazing presentation. You are amazing with your detail. Thank you so much!

Thank you. I have had the hardest time with this.

Hey thanks a lot for this valuable lesson, just need one help though trying to find which video have you shown these fillers, licks etc that you are using in the near end of the video, and are these available directly or for sale.. please help me out with these thank you brother !

This is smart, it’s definitely not as hip as having Elvin or Tony redefine American music behind the kit, but it will do in a pinch. Good Stuff Mr Panther!

This was perfectly explained! Love it! ❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Que sabrosa coombinacion de Jazz con Salsa

Well explained!

If you take your quantise and apply 66% to the 16th notes. It swings, but it has no zing. Delay that last 16th a tiny amount and this is when the swing comes alive. I usually quantise 16ths to 69%.

Why is it called so ?

I’ve been searching for months for a video like this to help my get a better understanding of groove and rhythm your channels so helpful thank you so much

Fantastic 😊

Fantastic overview of brushes! Thanks for your expert guidance. Subscribed!

Thanks a lot for this video. I thought you did an exceptional job explaining swing and that the video was very well shot and edited. You've helped me wrap my head around the swing concept almost completely. Now all that's left is to "put pen to paper" so to speak.

To the point and fun to watch! Guess I’m older, but how about when Chuck Rainey was behind and Bernard Purdy was ahead ?

As a drummer, I feel it's when you've developed past the point of being overwhelmed by all the elements being thrown at you, after which you can be comfortable enough to place a note ahead, on, or behind the beat with confidence, knowing how it will affect the overall feel and lead the band. [additional]: I think the "pocket" is that space between spaces, where you can sit inside time and think, almost like it's the slow-mo bullet-time parts of the Matrix.

Bro you give to much away We still don’t learn👏🏾😡👏🏾💯
