3's 4's & 5's Schizophrenia (Drum Professor Solo) with 5 Metronomes - blog update 12

that smile at 3:10

[@tdrum21]

Cool. Seeing how all the tempos relate. Dig all the metric modulation idears! What's that lick between snare and cymbal at 3:44-3:45?

[@Scottjazz55]

+tdrum21 Well, the metronome is playing at 66. And I am playing 4/4 jazz at that speed making those quarter notes at a speed of 264 right?...and that lick is an old Buddy Rich style where I'm playing two sets of sixteenth notes at that fast speed. Each group of sixteenths starts out with ride cym/bass drum in unison, then followed by 3 snare hits L,R,L. It happens fast and I have to take my right hand off the ride cymbal to play that second note (R hand) on the snare and go back to the ride quickly each time. Thanks so much for asking. hope that helps.

Very groovy stuff Scott. I dig that groove at 79bpms. Keep grooving man!!!

[@Scottjazz55]

+rhythmantic - Sal D'Amato Thanks Sal. You have a way of "cutting to the chase" in your observations. That section was actually the hardest for me to do and I had to work on it for weeks and weaks ahead of time. That's the difference between myself and the Virgil's, Marcos, Thomas's, Gavin's of the world. Those guys (I mean"those monsters") have paid so many "Gig-a-Dues" that they can probably just "feel" it and do it on the fly and make a new video every few hours! Not so with this drum professor. He has to spend a lot of time in between videos working them out, wood-shedding them etc. On the other hand, maybe that's good, as it can encourage younger drummers to practice hard and shoot for things that don't come easy.

+The Drum Professor Well I think those cats have to work on it too. Have you seen Marco's tutorial on playing in 9? It's hilarious, and why that is are comments,, including mine, that were posted on it. The video is titled: Marco Minnemann - 9 tuplet Pyramid ( I would post the link but YT will flag my comment as Spam)

[@Descalabrox]

Because you can? Solid!

[@Drewsparkwhitworth]

Hi Scott, love your videos! Very entertaining and informative! I was wondering about the animated metronomes you have layered on top of the video: I was wanting to do something similar for my snare rudiment videos for my music degree, but can't find them online...would you mind sharing where you got the metronomes from? :) Many Thanks

[@Scottjazz55]

+Drew Spark-Whitworth sure. It was a free app in the apple store called Real Metronome.

[@Drewsparkwhitworth]

You're a hero, thank you very much, I will credit you to my examiner! :)

[@Outplayedqt]

sick polyrhythms dude

[@jamminbucy7781]

that was awesome . truley. im humbled

[@drumrit]

*Disgustingly good sense of rhythm. You're a killer!*

[@MidgetFiesta]

Very interesting. Almost a different way of looking at polyrhythms ...

[@yoz2k25]

Yes!! Glad I subbed, this is awesome

[@2014andon]

But what plays in your head, how do you feel it? 66 all the way? Bipolar solo next?

[@Scottjazz55]

+Ruslan Mikhalev Well, when I recorded it to the click track of 66 I made sure that all the clicks were the same pitch. So I could start and stop on any beat and the pulse would always be the same speed. Before the recording, I would practice lots of variations on top of that 66 metronome. Some would resolve on beat 1, so would not. I tried experimenting with so many unusual variations working up to it. To tell you the truth, the day of the recording, I just put that metronome on 66 and just tried to let anything interesting/musical come out. That hardest part for me was keeping my hi hat anchored to the 66 metronome for a lot of it. For that, I had to practice a lot beforehand and write out exactly WHERE the hi hat would line up. But then after I got it under my belt, I could improvise with it a little.

[@mitchellrenaudn]

Amazing

[@user-hp8gb6mq2j]

Bill Gates on Drum, ahaha. Nice video

[@davormaplenik2776]

Sir, who's playing your hi hats?

[@Scottjazz55]

Thanks for the comment. I myself am. The hi hat was the most difficult and took the most amount of practice for me in each of the poly rhythms .

[@davormaplenik2776]

The Drum Professor I know you are, sir! It just looks ridiculously hard to do it! It must have been years of practice to master it

[@xdeathstar]

Awesome :D
