Drum Lesson : Vinnie Colaiuta Hihat lick - continued... from joecrabtree.com

[@mrSpatcat]

I love these lessons. Breaking down the fill to its basic rudiment makes the most complex fill almost achievable for the likes of me. Always inspirational stuff.

[@ramoncovelo]

Very nice drumming! Superb sound, too. Clear, friendly, brief and to the point explanations. That says a lot about you. I'm subscribing!

[@themusicandi]

Joe, you're an absolute inspiration both as a musician & a teacher, especially with how to scale up to be able to play a lick or re-using concepts elsewhere! Thanks for the super informative walkthroughs & demonstrations! I'll be watching your channel very closely! Cheers!

[@MateuszModrzejewski]

Joe, this is really great. I am a huge Vinnie fan and I think you're doing a fantastic job transcribing his ideas - loved the "don't ask me" fill. Hope to see even more of these videos, they rock. Best regards from Poland

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Thanks. The drums go through a mixing desk and I record the stereo output. They have a little EQ on them and I'm using close mics on the toms/snare/kick and a couple of overheads.

[@DrVoltage1]

This sticking sounds great just between the ride and highhats with ride bell and open highhat accents too! Thanks for the ideas.

[@joecrabtreedrums]

I'm not sure what you're asking. I find when I mount my toms on the bass drum the 2nd one is hard to reach with my left hand. If possible I prefer them to be moved over to the left a bit - either on a rack, or by mounting the 10" off a cymbal stand and the 12" on the arm the 10" usually occupies.

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@DAYSINAWEEK Ghost notes are quiet notes. You can utilise the rebound of the drum, but 'bouncing' implies lack of control and they have to be controlled. You need to make sure they're accurately placed bounces ;)

[@spookybaba]

A great pleasure to watch and hear. Quality playing, indeed!

[@thickpooxbox360]

just as a start really getting into vinnie all of your recent videos are about him! u legend!

[@britrocker42]

Excellent drumming and very nicely explained thanks for sharing some great tips. Your drum kit sounds amazing!!

[@Cring0r]

Joe Crabtree, You Sir, Are A Gentleman and a Scholar!

[@taroabarbanel]

Awesome lesson! I have to admit that this beat sounds a lot better played slower at around 90bpm than it does when you played it at the beginning because you can add more feel to it this way, whereas it sounds more robotic at bpm that exceed 140.

[@josephperez1683]

very nice lesson with lots of variables....nice touch ....

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment :) I'm not posting much on KZbin any more, but I am posting weekly lessons for subscribers on my website. You can check it out with the link in the video description. Thanks again, Joe

[@tdelvecchio]

Monster lick! I'm stealing this one. Great job!

[@zephyrboy2012]

Thanks for breaking that down! Now I finally understand how to play that lick!!

[@alkalomadtan]

Nicely built presentation. Grats!

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@DAYSINAWEEK I always try and place everything. There are very few situations where I'd just let the stick bounce.

[@Themplayahz]

Thanks for breaking it down, Joe!

[@mcufre]

btw dont know if you noticed but in the vinnie clip you got this from, he is doing another pattern with the bass drum, talk about being badass

[@james000vickers]

This is mad, still trying to learn it! thanks!

[@preciouslouse]

Outstanding, especially the "reapplying" part, I believe you've surprised yourself a couple of times as well ;)

[@tdrum21]

Great one! I forgot about this one

[@dolenjak2309]

really nice and smooth

[@joecrabtreedrums]

I changed the blog link. It should work now.

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Vic Firth, Dave Weckl Evolution sticks in this video. Or 5As.

[@wiouxev]

Great video man. Are the drums recorded separately and mixed themselves? Or is this with your Zoom Q3HD?

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Thanks :) Glad you enjoyed it.

[@rafaelferrer1]

HELLO JOE YOU HAVE VIDEO OR YOU CAN EXPLAIN ABOUT THE ( BEAT DISPLACMENT IN THE HI-HAT-) VINNIE USED A LOT OF TIMES IN THE HI-HAT THANKS ALWAYS FOR YOUR RESPONSE AND GOOD VIBE RAFA F

[@joecrabtreedrums]

That's very kind of you.

[@joecrabtreedrums]

@ianhaan yep

[@jamesthedrummer3362]

Joe is that a Brady snare,i own 3 living as I do in Perth West Oz,great lick by the way ! parts of the fill are a 6 stroke roll,would you agree ?

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Yep, that's a Brady. The lick is using 5 stroke rolls - R llrrL rrll etc.

[@ivindjohannessen1859]

Thanks again for something really useful! I also must say I love the drumsoud you produce. Can I ask what kind of console or recording platform you are using. Are there some EQ and compression involved as well? I

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Hi, I'm recording through a desk just so I can record a stereo mix to my camera. There's a tiny bit of EQ on the toms. No compression.

[@ivindjohannessen1859]

Joe Crabtree's Drum Lessons Thanks! And whats the name of the desk? Is it a mixer? (Sorry, but I´m looking for a new recording mixer to my home studio)

[@ianhaan]

are those dave weckl signature sticks?

[@hommoerectus1]

Joe, where can I download totation? Link on your blog does not work. Thank you.

[@joecrabtreedrums]

thank you

[@Jimmythedrumteacher]

Excellent.

[@kesim]

Wouldn't any kind of paraddidle have notes of equal values (like all 32th)? Here you double only two out of three notes while the first keeps its value. (But yes, phrased a bit differently and equaling out those note value differences you would end up with a five-note paraddidle RLLRR LRRLL)

[@devistarolli]

Thank you! I'll Think about it... really interesting!

[@a1rf0rce1992]

whats the lick at 9:57, the sticking is different.

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Yep :)

[@joecrabtreedrums]

Yep. That's exactly what it is.

[@jinzodude]

actually reapplying technique to the snare makes for great solo material when stalling for your next move

[@Metalhead0985]

what sticks do you use?

[@joecrabtreedrums]

You're right. I didn't watch the video before I replied to the last comment - I thought it was a different video. It's actually 5 stroke rolls : R llrrL rrll

[@BradyDrummer]

brady sheoak block?

[@romankulagin6247]

Great!

[@jordy4054]

HOLY CRAP THAT WAS CRAZY

[@TheMrGerrie]

Is there anyone who doesn't feel the hihat as the beat at 1:50? You should have counted before you started there. It's nice concept to use though ;)

[@JamesWarrenWatts]

Dam cool bro. Thanks.

[@jarrahdrum]

Wicked! Thank you :-)

[@IGIELdrums]

Thank YOU. :-)

[@herrkaliyuga]

.... you can also just think of this as a polyrhythmic 5-stroke roll.

[@mcufre]

really nice joe, you should get in a fusion band already and post your stuff in yoututbe hehe

[@jinzodude]

oh and i have a problem with your vid...the like button doesn't seem to work properly...i keep pressing it over and over but it keeps saying 2 likes ;D

[@jmr2master]

Go old 3/4 poly middle tone.

[@joecrabtreedrums]

5 stroke rolls... R llrrL rrll

[@Metalhead0985]
