OMG this is SO HELPFUL! I volunteered to sub for a friend for big band jazz and the conductor put me on the spot to do 4 bars of drum solo repeatedly. I was clueless and later discovered it's called "Trading fours". This video is so helpful because it demonstrates the context. I'm hoping to be more prepared for next week's rehearsal with this helpful video!

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

a b0bfelice Trading fours ... when I first started playing, I didn’t know what to do. A good friend told me that I needed to develop a series of two bar fills and four bar fills then commit them to memory. Good luck at your next rehearsal. God bless, John X

JohnX Drum Lessons of course yes dear sir :D

[@godzilla653]

Love what your doing with your bass drum, the "an" beat I call it. Nice tasty fills. A pleasure to watch and learn from

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Thanks.

[@LeslieJazzFlute]

Thank you, John, for all the wonderful, accessible and very musical ideas. I never know quite what to play when four's are called. Having a few of your examples under my belt will be very helpful. I understand what you are doing with the bass drum, but a shot of your right foot would be a plus too. Wonderful, Illuminating, excellent demo. Best, David

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Leslie, I'm happy to hear these fills will be helpful. Be sure to check out the four 2-bar fill lessons that I have on my KZbin page. These are the building blocks for my 4 bar fills. I'm sure you will enjoy them and find them very helpful as well. Best wishes, John X

[@fernandoceli5693]

very impressive!

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Thank you.

[@Ventysize]

You have inspired me to put 3 rivets in my bounce ride!

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

I was lucky enough to have Zildjian do it for me. I would be nervous to drill the cymbal myself.

[@stix2slivers]

Thanks John for your great educational motivational videos, just love your style and instruction process.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Thank you. The full six part series will be available next week. Take a look I'm sure you'll dig it. Best wishes, JohnX

[@rojopojo4493]

Hey, John if you could show what the bass drum does, that'd be great as well; thanks!

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

I wish I would have used a bass drum camera for this series. I started to use one on all of the videos I recorded after this series.

[@rojopojo4493]

oh i see, good stuff haha

[@facts_machine-t1k]

Damn he's knowledgeable doe. He kinda sounds like he hunts people for sport which is pretty baller.

[@robbyboy03]

Hi John. What is your ride cymbal? It is perfect for jazz.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Robert, I love that cymbal. It's a 22" K Constantinople Bounce Ride with 3 rivets. I just used the same cymbal on my jazz phrase lesson course. Check out that video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIicfp6ErdZgaZY

[@cruzo333]

Great lessons ! I wonder what is your opinion on keeping the foot hh on 2 and 4 going during the four bar fill ?

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

That is an excellent question. I used to think that I always had to play the hi-hat on 2 and 4 during a fill. Then, after spending a lot of time with my good friend and great jazz drummer, Colin Bailey, I came to realize that you only need to play the hi-hat when it's comfortable and it feels good. Don't obsess over it like I did in my earlier days.

[@josefinacupido9872]

Hi John i just purchased 7 4 bar series, but I’ve not received the worksheet, please advise, Josefina

[@karllee2680]

i would like to know if it possible could you explain and anylyze the drum pattern for wes montgomery's tune trick bag in one of your videos

[@hoogmeulen]

[@rolf-bertrampilz9802]

👍🍄🥁

[@Ventysize]

Excellent video John! Super stoked,And is that ride to your right a medium constantinople with a rivet?

[@dunkdriver1972]

Hi there John, great video's, i'm fast becoming fluent in all these fills due to your great teaching methods!!! One question though.... i've been learning these fills whilst keeping the hi-hat rolling on 2+4, would you consider this incorrect as i just noticed you're not and if so is there any particular reason?

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

I'll play the hi hat on 2&4 most of the time. However, it's not always necessary. The fills in this series felt better with out the hi-hat so I left it off.

[@A.ChristopherJohnson]

Big Ug John, trading 8's are next bro ?

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

+A. Christopher Johnson Chris, Thanks for the comment. I do not have plans to make a trading 8's video. To play 4's you play to groups of 2. To play 8's you play 2 groups of 4, Give it a try. Best wishes, John X www.JOHNXDRUMS.com/

[@A.ChristopherJohnson]

+JohnX Drum Lessons Will do fam

[@q3playing]

Hi John. Hope you are not getting sick of answering this question: what was that sizzle ride? I don't think K Con has a model with rivets?

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

It's a Zildjian K Constantinople Bounce Ride with three rivets added at the factory.

[@q3playing]

Thanks!

[@joaodepaula]

Hey John, perfect drum lesson. this ride is a Bounce ride?
