Bill Bachman Quad Lesson from Reefed Beats

[@DisposedDrums2112]

I could take 50 showers a day, and Bill Bachman would still be cleaner than me...

[@thatdrumguy-hd5zx]

I was fortunate to learn from him at Butler University the summer. Great guy and fantastic drummer!

[@Drifting50]

Unknown to most, the 5 quad players in the beginning are actually Bachman's sons

[@MusicHappycx]

Not one rim 😢

[@Marimbalogy]

Jacob Yow Hey Bill is a tenor god. But I assure you that he's probably hit more Rims in his lifetime than most of us have hit the head....

[@nashdracula1]

Before my high school battery goes out, us quad players pray to bill bachman

[@Hanospeaks]

Does he appear from the moonlight

[@GolfingMagician]

Im fine with guitar hero

[@czisback]

makes me feel like a little girl watching this and compairing it to how well i play. I bought Quad Logic (made by Bachman).. it's a great book.

[@bleh151]

DA FUK did I just see at 3:17!!

[@vibingwithtj7799]

bleh151 😂😂😂😂

[@drakeescobar5212]

Speed it up at 2x speed

[@FirthandI]

Reefed Beats is an excellent book. I recommend it to all tenor/quads/quints(whatever your reference is) players. I can say it has definitely helped me out and it can help you too.

[@whaaasuupmyhomies]

@luck1214 You hit on the edges of the heads closest to you. Technically 1 to 2 inches from the rim. Think that if you were to turn your drum heads so the logo were on the sides closest to you, you'd be playing on that. This is not only for quality in sound, but also for efficiency in arm placement.

[@zSlayer05]

Quads is used for all configurations of tenor drums because there are four main tonal drums. Spocks are accent drums. Read quad logic. Bill Bachman agrees.

[@Inspadave]

Notice how much sound you get with mallets? I understand why sticks are used sometimes, but for them to become not only the primary implement, but the only one . . . just don't get it.

[@jayprivacy1900]

Inspadave I was old school too for awhile, but i like sticks better personally.

[@aRU88ERduck]

@perropeppe even tho there r five drums it's still called a quad for some reason, theres also a version of quads with six drums on it

[@bluebeltOompa]

that was sped up with the camera right ? if not I quit

[@andykent5356]

Chris Thrasher its bill bachman. he makes everyone want to quit

[@JrLoCoTe]

Thanks thats a good straight to the point lesson..

[@DrumCaptain1]

That last part was AMAZING

[@pimpinclassclown]

i like how he just plays the first line of diddles for decades and its still fucking bad ass

[@leun1]

thanks for the lessons

[@HeroSpartan10]

so buttery...so clean AHHHH *passes out*

[@Snenors4pres]

I would love to see Bill Bachman play some Snenors. idk if its the legit name for them but its a tenor drum with a snare drum attachment in place of the fourth drum. Look up Beaver Creek High School, they use them.

[@Rogers1977]

@thewease47 Get a Stockpad and play on ONE drum mostly. And get a lot of sheet music that's your level and learn it. You'll get faster at learning music and playing with good sound quality. When you play on the drums, it should feel the same as it did when you played on ONE drum. Everything in this video is explained very clearly, so it shouldn't confuse you.

[@halfafart8741]

jesus christ ive been scrolling for fucking ever and havent found the goddamn sheet music. for the love of all that is holy please send me the motherfucking sheet music

[@mrbiscuit815]

[@Mcubed7107]

i'm going to play it at a nice medium tempo and then bump it up to warp speed. i actually saw the real footage and he played a third time but high speed cameras only picked it up in one frame so it could not be displayed.

[@HalloGais]

The good ol' days!

[@garye4678]

I use the scrapes (I know them as Swipes) on drum kit between toms & snare & vice versa. Thanks Bill you've given me some more ideas to work on to apply it to my kit. I can mix them between toms, snare & Bass Drum doubles in a 6 note grouping or Sextuplets, which sound real cool.

[@ecafsinep]

i'm well aware that he wasn't trying to make anyone feel that way kid. bill is an amazing player/performer/teacher. i felt like i made it obvious that he just made me feel bad by comparison

[@yutsi_e]

What quadline was that at the beginning?

[@linuxhowto3562]

UNT I would presume (University of North Texas)

[@longhorngurl210]

cool!!! Hey, i wanna learn how to play the quads so do you think its a good idea to buy a quad set?

[@Baby_Man_Crow]

I play French horn in band and just moved to a new state, I have always wanted to play quad but when I told my band teacher she gave me a weird look then said "Oh you mean tenor" and I'm just standing there confused. Can anyone tell me the difference between the tenor and quad, because where I lived before we said quad and people down here have no clue what a quad is. Also she is forcing me to stay on French horn so I'm watching videos because I want to learn the quad, also great video!

[@chaser22081]

Ravine Wendigo same exact things. Different names.

[@OrangeAtomicRugTM]

Quads have 4 drums but all of the marching drums of this type are tenors

[@luismedina1100]

Im a freshmen at my skool on quads i have a junior attempting to teach me but i need more help i notice my left has bad reaction time or is to slow and i play roboticly as he put it wat can i do to improve myself?

[@DrRockzo1193]

I was watching and was like "eh pretty sure I could knock out those scrapes medium tempo" then you played it at like 240 bpm...what the fuck haha

[@JGH]

Dang i so wanna get a set of quads but idk where to find some good (but cheap) ones. o_o

[@j16c1]

[@CANIMALEDETTI]

Ninja drumming. Is there someone doing this outside America? Where to search for this drums?

[@rockstarduh5]

@perropeppe Quads, tenors, quints- call them whatever you like. Personally, I prefer "multi-tonal membranophones".

[@aviator11tkp]

[@tiestofanlololol]

toooo faaast (at the end) but REEEELY COOOL ill use that

[@knotdrummer88]

i did both

[@Rogers1977]

Just spend a lot of time on the drums. Play the fast technique SLOWLY. Get the muscle memory, and then take it up a little bit. Watch the videos on the Vic Firth site on the "get good quick plan".

[@my1972stang]

My God this man is a beast. lol

[@RasmusCarlson]

Why?

[@Grasshopper110]

my damn.

[@Gernads]

"well actually ive given up trying to convince people the correct way to name tenor drums." Right there you talk about convincing people that the correct name for tenors with 5 drums is quints. "u can reply back to me after u find another name for tenors." Quads. It applies to all tenor drums, no matter what the number of drums. People can call them whatever they want. If you don't like seeing that I suggest not making a hissy fit on youtube.

[@molmeda30]

Daaaammmmnnnn

[@drumsetmanperson1]

that part at the end made me pee my pants

[@shanethompson2734]

The rims are scared of his incredible chops
