[@robaskis1376]

Feels nice to see a man be so happy just playing away

[@JoeNocella]

Playing good music should make people happy. Otherwise, what's the point? After so many years, I still look forward to sitting down behind the drum set and having a good time. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. Yes Jim did a nice job on the book.

[@ghiblinerd6196]

Not that there’s ANYTHING wrong with this, but those are some bright sounding cymbals! 😄

[@markmitchell4451]

Ride ride is that, sounds perfect

[@wmbmatt]

Incredible.

[@caribousale]

I'm a beginner in jazz... I'd like to play like that. Looks so easy but it gives me headaches and cramps!!! hahaha! I should have practice rudiments and listen to a teacher at 12 when I began to play. Now it seems I'm condemned to play square rock... Young players! Practice your rudiments a lot and use the good way!!! :)

[@JoeNocella]

If you have a good sense of swing, you can learn to play this stuff. It's not that difficult. A good teacher is always a good option.

[@the_breadcat5142]

Beautiful.

[@alkohn1844]

This sounds awesome! I need to get this book.

[@JoeNocella]

I use this book for teaching. It has a good variety of styles for any working drummer.

[@iliegabriel2506]

Good

[@whacktom8190]

I’m really bad at telling which genres of jazz there are because I’ve only been playing for a year, but bebop is great!

[@SeanLeonDrumz]

excellent! thanks for the upload

[@edvan9705]

Muito bom sou baterista parabéns ❤

[@gravitydrums1391]

Always good to hear a fellow player swing . I just posted Weckl swing drum cover and it felt good.

[@brentdrummer5177]

Nice playing man.

[@JoeNocella]

Thanks

[@DeanMk1]

Nice take on Confirmation, Joe. -b

[@poikacurrie1786]

As a fellow jazz drummer, my only complaint is you land on the 1 alot with your bass drum. Kenny Clarke did an interview once where he said how landing on the 1 just puts you there, but landing on the 4+ launches you there. Landing on the 1 typically makes your groove clunky, and can sometimes encourage rushing or dragging. Other than that, it was great!

[@danlodes3130]

@Poika - When you've posted ANYTHING that even comes close to Joe's level of playing, maybe then we'll cut you some slack for trying to be the smartest guy in the room.

[@Nagroddy]

Very fluid, articulate drumming! Are the chord changes to the Charlie Parker tune, Confirmation?

[@JoeNocella]

Not sure where they got the chord changes from. This is a drumless play along track that was included with the book listed in the description. Thanks for watching!

[@123agidee_2]

I just got that exact ride and i thought i would always love having a 2002 but im a bit disappointed by its high sensitivity, although if my playing was more articulate than i guess it would sound a lot better.

[@felixfelix7447]

😎👍

[@whacktom8190]

All these shiny cymbals make me want some so bad I’m a kid and can’t save up

[@oskarfield8696]

1 tip. But from your drum teacher. I did that and i got amazing deals. Also check on craigslist. Theres probably loads of good cymbals for a cheaper price

[@rawkinj6609]

Great man! Can you explain what you did to hit that snare at 0:34? I never seen that, hitting the stick and making the snare resonate...that's cool, but i play mostly rock! Cheers!

[@JoeNocella]

It was basically the right stick hitting the left stick as the left stick is sitting on the snare. It is called a stick shot. Buddy Rich used this a lot in his playing. I do it once in a while just to get a different sound at certain times during a song. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelabbo2779]

These are the changes to confirmation being played by the piano and bass

[@martsmartin8474]

A pleno... Genio

[@timothyscanlan812]

Jim sounds great! What is your ride ? Looks like a Paiste 2002 16" crash??? Sounds very cool

[@JoeNocella]

Thanks. I listed all of the equipment in the description. The ride is a 22" 2002. Crashes are Paiste Signatures 16" & 18".

[@timothyscanlan812]

Thanks Joe !

[@mariaulfah7902]

nice point of viiew

[@JonathanRamirez-kd3zv]

That 2002 ride sounds great! Does it always suit jazz this well? I hear it isn’t something commonly used for jazz but I’ve been eyeing them and I’d want them to be able to do some jazzy stuff.

[@JoeNocella]

I've used this ride on several jazz/swing recordings. It sounds pretty good. It's a good all around cymbal. Here's another: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKHHen-Hm5Z2pLs

[@mineabsgov5772]

👍

[@Plydrms]

As usual I was drawn into your playing. I'm trying to learn "Santeria" by Sublime. It's swung 16th notes single handed on the hi hat. I like to play thumbs up French grip for shuffles on the ride. I noticed you kind of played French grip on the Hi hat for this tune. Do you tend to play with French grip for upbeat shuffles, jazz,,,on the hi hat?..thanks!

[@JoeNocella]

I've played Santeria a few times with different bands. Like you said, it's a quick shuffled 16th note pattern on the hi-hat. I play it pretty much with a french grip with the right hand. Sometimes I'll switch to a German grip and use the wrist instead of the fingers. You get a stronger sound this way. Todd Sucherman explains it well. It's like cutting motion with the right hand...go to the 39 minute mark on this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4aYkIGAm7OopLM

[@Plydrms]

Is this basically moeller technique? I think this girl drummer looks so relaxed. The guy is referencing moeller technique, but looks like the motion is exaggerated and he's working a lot harder. It looks like she's playing more like American grip. I feel tension playing the upbeat (around 90BPM) shuufle on the HH playing American grip. She makes it look easy though. You would tend to keep the French on the HH? I guess there should be no tension, like Todd says? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYqyf5dpjZmnoKucttps://kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJfcgpWbf92gjNE

[@markmitchell4451]

What ride is that sounds perfect

[@JoeNocella]

Thanks. Paiste 2002 22”. All equipment is listed in the description.

[@Plydrms]

Maybe I'm over complicating it. That fast shuffle just seems easier using French grip thumb on top. It feels natural to play the ride that way if you're right handed. I have to turn my hand up to play that way on the Hi Hat because it is to my left.

[@christianyanez2449]

So well played and effortless. Congrats. Just the ride sound not my cup of teat, too bright for jazz, but that’s me.

[@JoeNocella]

Thanks. I used sticks that were too heavy for this type of playing. The heavy plastic tip on the ride didn't produce the sound I was looking for.

[@raphael5941]

🤤

[@mertvanloglu3904]

Are those Mike portnoy signature sticks ?

[@JoeNocella]

Yes. Probably not the best sticks for this kind of playing. But I use whatever I have at the moment..

[@JoeNocella]

@King Crimson! Thanks

[@jakeaustin5100]

I almost fell asleep on a road trip in the car, and I don’t fall asleep in the car easily

[@fernandogasca7286]

What is the name of the song?

[@JoeNocella]

There is no name. It is called "Fast BeBop" swing drumless track from Jim Riley's book listed in the description.
