Broken Pattern Coordination for ECM & Jazz Fusion Styles for Intermediate to Advanced Players

[@12alozada]

Rick’s book ‘Advanced Coordination for the Drumset’ is a masterpiece! I highly recommend it to any drummer.

[@tedstuff2039]

I gotta second this!

[@mhp2766]

Totally agree. Got the book and already getting so much mileage out of a couple of pages, will be working out of it for many years.

[@ryancox5097]

Along with some of the Afro-Cuban stuff you've covered, this might be my favorite lesson so far. $.02

[@stephenduffy5406]

Outstanding! Someone buy this man a rack tom. He deserves one.

[@rickdior]

Thanks Stephen. Just buy me another snare drum. Rack toms don't excite me that much.

[@anthonym612]

Judging by @1:00, he's got the toms off to the side but he's not using them.

[@dtasoudis]

Thanks for including Jon... Great stuff, as always!

[@SunSound7]

sweet cymbal sound and a graceful flow

[@randydoak6638]

Your K's sound great. Best cymbals ever made IMO.

[@luiszuluaga6575]

Rick, your grooves are superb! That kick drum sound tho’… 😀🫰🏼🥁🎶

[@rickdior]

[@robertblonski2098]

[@FusionHowie]

Thank you for breaking down the ECM explanation. THANK YOU! I really never could figure out the Jon Christensen did his thing.....

[@mikeshouse2000]

Superb lesson! I'm thrilled I have the book. I was already playing those pages with my own ideas. Seeing your approach is super helpful!! Thanks Rick!

[@rickdior]

Thanks Mike Good to hear from you. Hope all is well with the family.

[@WillPollard90a]

Amazing... I would also recommend Keith Jarrets 'Changes' with Jack Dejohnette in particular the second track!

[@rickdior]

Hi Will Yes that's a great record, any of the earlier DeJohnette things on ECM are great.

[@pasqualemandia4593]

[@facundovega2639]

Excelente!!!!!!! Muchas gracias !!!!!!!

[@irawong]

Beautiful playing! It’s great to hear a player that is equally versed in, both, drum set and orchestral percussion. The vast majority of orchestral players I’ve worked with over the past 30+ years cannot play drum set AT ALL. They kill it when it comes to orchestral excepts or 4 mallet marimba, but can’t keep time on the drums playing an easy Broadway medley. Why is that?

[@rickdior]

Hi Ira This is a hot topic for me and although things have been changing this is unfortunately still the case. I teach all of my private and college students to function in both areas. In the old days these areas were divided up into two camps, the jazzers and the "legit" players. Although there were some exceptions most percussionists did not cross over. I started out with great teachers who taught me how to perform in both areas but that was not common back then. Since it's so hard to get an orchestra job these days and the audition lists are huge many players choose to ignore the set and concentrate on other instruments. This is a mistake. There are drum set requirements now on most orchestra audition lists including for the armed forces groups. I play all the drum set in the orchestra I perform with and I enjoy it (especially since it pays more) but its a challenging job trying to coral 60- 80 players into the correct feel. It takes years of experience to do this well and you have to be elastic and have the trust of the conductor as well. So while someone might be a great drum set artist playing the set with an orchestra is a completely different skill that has to be learned just like marimba and everything else.

[@irawong]

@@rickdior Thank you for your very thoughtful response. Being a percussionist is tough - so many instruments and styles to study and practice. At any given concert, one piece might have you sitting around counting rests all night, and the next might be a total nightmare having to negotiate through a complex score with changing meters and playing multiple instruments while trying desperately to follow a conductor with poor stick technique. The string and wind players sitting in front of you have NO IDEA! 😄 Anyway, fantastic playing and wonderful content on your channel!

[@DavidGomez-hj4tr]

@@rickdior I've also seen many fine drummers do a stroke or two on my congas and then walk away as they have no clue what to do next. I went from school band programs/pit orchestras to the drum kit to bongos and congas, so I can fill in or jam on the kit.

[@makistudio1592]

Thank you!

[@bozziofan01]

Hi Rick hope your well sir phenomenal playing!!! You went to school with my father he sends his regards ✌🏽❤️

[@rickdior]

Hi John Nice to meet you. Your dad and I went to high school together. Give him my best and ask him if he still has those Vistalites although you probably know the answer to that.

[@bozziofan01]

@@rickdior he most certainly does, gigs with them regularly 😁

Please someone tell me how the master does this Bass drum Sound. I assume, it's the tunning and the drumhead combination.
