Drum Lesson : Another cool Vinnie Colaiuta hihat thing

[@mattmarkus4868]

I would never think to incorporate a 5-stroke roll like this, very cool!

[@Jez1963UK]

Phenomenal teaching. Joe, I think even I may be able to do that one day !! Thanks for sharing your gift.

[@SinisterSkip]

The hihat playing sounds like magic :)

[@mcufre]

@naedsukram in particular that cover of walking on the moon, he kills this concept in there, sounds super cool

[@DaveWatts_ejectamenta]

Have you heard Wet T-Shirt Nite on the Joe's Garage Album, Vinnie Colaiuta does a nifty jazz/latin beat, sounds complicated it has a standard jazz pattern on the hihat while the bass and toms do a latin thing

[@joecrabtreedrums]

+Dave Watts Yes, I've heard the song. That's one of my favourite albums of all time :) Vinnie is improvising most of the grooves in the song. He also sounds to be on the ride bell and hi-hat. I'm not sure where you're referring to that has a standard jazz pattern on the hi-hat.

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@andrben That changes a lot. I'm always experimenting. I just got a Panasonic SD90 (check out my video showing the zoom!) I used that for this video. I sent the drums through a mixer and recorded the audio using QuickTime Player 7. I edited in Final Cut Pro X which I really like but it crashed on me twice while editing!

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@Jez2008UK Thanks for watching ;) I just uploaded the second part of the SoloWorkshop. If you liked this I'm pretty sure you'd like that too. The solo workshops cover a lot of ground in a lot of depth.

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@peteryyz43 I believe it is. I love that song! Thanks for watching the vids. Please spread the word to anyone else you think might be into them.

[@renardvert]

This is very cool and well played. Congrats.

[@DeanWuksta]

@mcufre yes, thats the sticking I wrote, like a inverted paradiddle.

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@dsphk Search for "vinnie colaiuta the bridge rub the stone' on youtube. It's around 3:40

[@brandonmackiedrums]

How does this guy not have MORE VIEWS!??!!?!?

[@peteryyz43]

@pfefftube ..yeah it's a cracking track!. I'm a Drum teacher myself Joe; I work as a peri at many of the schools here in North Wales. Your name gets mentioned a lot in my lessons.. .I always recommend my pupils to check out your vids on youtube for inspiration...the word is spreading!

[@navboi12]

I love you for doing this! Cheers

[@emilde12]

This is good stuff!

[@mcufre]

@naedsukram I can already do the accents with the single strokes sticking , im gonna work on the doubles now because that's certainly much harder. Thanks for this lesson Joe, been wanting to be able to play this for a while. Btw check Jeff Richman's last arrival, Joel Taylor does lots of cool stuff like this on there.

[@peteryyz43]

Hi Joe..superb lesson again. Isn't this the same sticking that Vinnie uses on the track 'Cowboys and Indians' from the Works album by Nik Kershaw ? (on snare just before 2nd verse)..loved your 'Dont ask me ' fill explanation vid too btw!!

[@DeanWuksta]

when the hats pattern gets up to speed adding the doubles, is it similar sticking to a fast paradiddle accenting the singles?

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@navboi12 I love you for watching :)

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@renardvert thanks :)

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@lost4ausername I guess it's an 11 stroke roll.... R llrrllrrll

[@mcufre]

@naedsukram No, he is doing R ll rr L rr ll R llrr L rr ll.....etc Capital letters being the accents, what you mean with the fast paradiddle accenting the singles would be RL rr LR ll RL rr LR ll , see the difference? I gotta say the sticking for this lick with the doubles is damn hard, dunno how you play it so clean joe, you got magic hands bro

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@naedsukram I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.

[@DeanWuksta]

@naedsukram sorry, could be mistaken, but could u play it as RLLRRLRRLLR etc with single strokes accented. like sextuplet sticking

[@brandonmackiedrums]

Trying to get my head around the sticking pattern on the Hi-hat when sped up...essentially i think its just a five-stroke roll. R ll rr L rr ll R etc

[@stefanmuehlenkamp]

@naedsukram no, singles are doubled up. :)

[@Cring0r]

wow, simple lick, but effective :D

[@art7867]

Great lesson. Thank you :)

[@joecrabtreedrums]

You're very welcome :) If you like my teaching style you may enjoy the videos on my website (link in the video description).

[@art7867]

Your teaching style is solid Joe. Very clear and to the point.You can be sure that I will be getting around to your other posts just as soon as I can comfortably play this one. Regards Steve

[@plemyk]

Fresh lick!!!!

[@LiamGroves]

im so going to learn that :-)

[@mtavarez4561]

Can I get a transcription of this lick from somewhere?

[@joecrabtreedrums]

+mtavarez4561 There's a transcription of this (along with a lot of other things) in the Drum Vault on my website - www.joecrabtree.com/drumvault - which you can access via donation. Thanks, Joe

[@tzavarious81]
