Is a skin head, but its not a white skin, is clear skin, an immitation of it, can be the EVANS Strata 1000 Heads

So sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful musician.

@@musopaul5407 Yes he was. He died last August and we still struggle to remember he is gone. I haven’t been able to listen to his music since.

Well said!

Notice how he plays the same rudiments on the rim after the snare, yet they clap for the rim and not the snare...hahahaha

@@drew-shourd What rudiments is he playing?

@@musopaul5407 Many! he seemed to be fond of a simple buzz roll, like a single stroke that is reminiscent of a super tight double stroke roll,, common in this style of jazz, like New Orleans style jazz, plus he was taking turns accenting on both hands. I also heard some para diddles, some double paradiddles, maybe a Swiss Triplet, when he was playing right hand on floor tome, each hand, at times, were playing something different. He was also, seems, playing his own, meaning subdividing a rudiment by playing half of it or for a very short time before switching to another, great stuff......

...also, listening further, I swear I heard some 5 stroke and 7 stroke rolls, but he is playing so fast, bouncing from one to another, hard to tell, I'd hate to even try to transcribe that solo!!!!

@@drew-shourd I think the reason it would be hard to transcribe is that he's not really playing rudiments at all. He's doing a buzz roll and accenting it, as you say a common feature of New Orleans drumming, and hearing the melody in his head while he's doing it. When he's playing time and buzzing on 2 and 4, you can see that as a five- or seven-stroke roll, but I think he's just buzzing his sticks on 2 and 4, sometimes RL, sometimes both together. When he solos and goes to the woodblock, bass drum rim and cowbell, that's pure Baby Dodds and there's nary a rudiment in sight. I've had this conversation many times: I think we need to be careful about the term rudiments. If I play RLRLRL with some accents, am I playing rudimental singles? If I buzz some of them, or double some of them to play R L rr ll R L, am I playing a 5 stroke roll, a 6 stroke or a paradiddle-diddle? I don't think so; I'm playing a phrase using alternating hand strokes and embellishing it with accents, doubles and buzzes. These are among the real technical "rudiments" (a word that means "the basics") of articulating musical ideas on the drum set, as opposed to The Rudiments, a system of patterns used in military snare drumming that have nothing whatsoever to do with playing the drum set. The reason I think it's important to distinguish between the two is that The Rudiments are not only a set of hand-conditioning exercises (some of which I use myself), they are a way of thinking about music and, in my view, a very unmusical one!
