Hello, I only discovered this channel now. Such a pleasure to watch this video delivered in a calm and relaxed manner. Such a relief to not be addressed with "What's up"! I am 65 and I have been playing since age 14. I too love those little tasteful flourishes and touches that mark the player as a person to watch and listen to. A great drum sound too! Understatement and style is something I admire greatly in all musicianship and our case, in drumming. I look forward to exploring more of your videos, thank you, Michael

I’m feel so inspired and privileged to hear this lesson. Your “try to improvise” improvising was pure gold to my ears. Simply beautiful drumming in my opinion. Thank you Darryn! If even a smidge of your sound reaches my hands that will be a good day in my book. 🫡✅✌🏻

Thank you Darryn! I’m so excited to try this idea. I must admit my rolls sometimes collapse by themselves, but not intentionally until now 🤭✌🏻

This is crazy I was down a rabbit hole reacquainting myself with some Novak vocabulary and stumbled upon this video the precise second I was wondering about a lick he played on some drum clinic audio of his I’ve had for years and there you are explaining it! Just subscribed Darryn I’ve been checking out your videos for a while now keep doing what you do!

Linear grooves always sound better slowed down which would leave space for other musicians to create better than at faster tempos which is something I can't stand about speed metal

I don't care how you call this "lick" - it's just aSIXTUPLET (R L L R R L ) or vice versa! Steve Gadd uses this "lick" in various ways: hands on two sounds (HiHat/Snare, or divided between Snare/Bass-Drum)
@darrynfarrugia9904Ай бұрын
This is definitely NOT a sextuplet. These are 32nd notes played as doubles RRLLRRLL etc. Also, I don't refer to this as a "lick" in this video.

G'day Darryn, Thanks so much for releasing all of your highly informative and useful content. Regarding Collapsing Rolls,these require alot of finesse when one plays a rimshot followed by a ghost note on the same hand. Are you able to comment on ways one can gain this type of control when the tempo gets brisk and whilst attempting to excecute double strokes in 32nd note form? Thanks again mate, Dom.

There are no shortcuts or hacks to getting this to sound good. It just takes some painstaking work and focus. I still think mine sucks a little. You will get it though. Just be patient and diligent.

I grew up as a rock drummer playing matched grip. My question involves use of the left hand for example At 12::20 you are playing a 3 bar lick using snare; kicl; mounted tom and floor tom. When your right hand accents on the toms your left hand is filling in all the spaces. When I try to do something similar it sounds like RLL RLL RLL and it has a staccato sound. when you play it it sounds like the left hand is doing more than just two Ghost Notes and you make it sound silky smooth and I love that. what can I do to make my left hand act like that when my right hand goes off to play accents on the rest of the drum set to make it sound smooth like that? you've got a new subscriber😁 thanks so much
@darrynfarrugia9904Ай бұрын
For me the "secret sauce" is in the dynamics. I generally don't play more than a double in either hand when I'm playing like this so I would suggest that in order to smooth out your sound and have it less staccato, work on getting those double very quiet. Aim for a low rebound height of about 2" or 5cm. Paradiddles are good exercises for this. check out this video that I did which may help kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5mWXqmkhbyHp7c&ab_channel=DarrynFarrugia or you can check this out too kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIXCYXeNYriepZI&ab_channel=DarrynFarrugia
@Wckmt7okАй бұрын
Ah I see...if there was more than a double l would notice in the timing even by watching your sticks its like there isnt space to do much more than a double with the left anyway its the dynamics😮 thanks so much for your insight😊 now off to check out that link. Many thanks

Great vid, but there is an annoying high frequency ringing that sounds like its coming from your lav mic
@darrynfarrugia9904Ай бұрын
My friend, this has been doing my head in and I've just realised that the high pitch frequency you're referring to is actually a squeak coming from my drum throne or hihat stand. I can hear it at 2:22. Is that what you're hearing? And thanks for the comment, too.
@jeffgreen4903Ай бұрын
So is it R LL RR ? Like a backwards 5-stroke roll? Hard to tell b/c it’s played kinda fast.
@darrynfarrugia9904Ай бұрын
No. It's actually a double i.e. RRLLRRLL etc with an accent played on the first note.

@tootsa28Ай бұрын
Thanks Darryn. Just checking - the collapsing role still starts with a double stroke? So it's RRLLR, with the accent on the first beat? Is this difficult to achieve if you're accenting with a rim shot?
@darrynfarrugia9904Ай бұрын
That's correct. It's actually a double i.e. RRLLRRLL etc with an accent played on the first note. Nailing the rimshot does take a bit of practise. Stick with it and you'll get it.

@OdtheanАй бұрын
Nice lesson. You sound great! I like the idea of playing a 9 stroke roll at the end of a groove. That being said, I would never call it a "collapsing roll." This will only confuse students. Call it what it is. It's a 9 stroke roll with an accent on the first stroke. Granted, this doesn't make for an intriguing title to your lesson 🤣😜 Alright that's it I'll get off my soapbox. Once again I really enjoyed your playing!
@darrynfarrugia9904Ай бұрын
It's still a nine stroke roll. The "collapsing" roll is concept i.e. a way to approach the roll rudiments the way Steve Gadd does at times. I've done a whole video on this concept. See the link in the description.
@OdtheanАй бұрын
@@darrynfarrugia9904 Yes. It's a 9 stroke roll. Did you read what I said? Oh well. Good luck!
@cphcarleАй бұрын
Thank you! One particularly clear example is Gadd’s (all-too-often forgotten) groove on You Make Me Feel Like Dancing, by Leo Sayer. Gadd takes it one (sensitively articulated) step further by not just putting an accent at the start of the roll, but also by decreasing the velocity graduallly THROUGHOUT his collapsing roll : even more challenging than what this video very aptly explains.

I have a lapel microphone attached to my sweater. It records everything so I then have to cut out all the drums in that microphone in the mixing stage so that you only hear the drums through the drum mics.

Beautiful playing, great lesson, great drums sound. Thanks for this. I did pick up (on my iPad speakers, of all things) a super high-pitched artifact when you were speaking (never when playing). It was close to the limit of my hearing but pretty high up there, and I had to pause/play/pause to confirm it was coming from your video. FYI in case there is something sneaking in some high freq into your voice chain that you can pick up on and EQ out. Anyway, I’m subscribed now. Good stuff!
