Gina Knight - Second Line Drumming

[@johnrodriguez9977]

So talented on drum-set nice work! and your vocals are sweet.

[@dlswint]

Love this so much. I'm a guitar player who pretends to be a drummer when I sit behind my kit to build on my rhythm chops. Such a great crossover way to add to my modest guitar skillsets (and I like to bang on things sometimes). This helped me get a much better handle on second line drumming, something that has fascinated me for years. Thank you for sharing.

[@DanHolmesGroup]

Fantastic! Being a piano player, I really appreciate a great drummer, especially one who can describe what they're doing easily.

[@brianstitak5232]

Great playing and beautiful voice too!

[@BradAllenDrumsKansasCity]

Nice vocals Gina on "When The Saints". Also excellent lesson. It's interesting to me as I watch various videos on Second Line Drumming how many different ways there are to play. Lots of different bass drum ostinatos, etc. So now I am adding this to my catalog of ideas. Thanks!

[@deejannemeiurffnicht1791]

helps greatly with context you singing along with "the saints". i often find many novice drummers forget (especially refering to hand drummers here) that the drumming is meant to be a song or part of a song, therefor you really need to know that song, or at least the words to follow or lead. i like what another second line drummer said of second line drumming that it dosn't really do "vertical mere time keeping" but "falls in the cracks" or is sort of in between, much like you conveyed too by using the two different lines with each other. nice work Gina

+Paul Matarazzo ;) Thanks Paul

[@brentteem5570]

Ms. Gina is an extraordinary percussionist & has a uniquely relaxed approach as an instructor that inspires the student to recognize that what they desire to play well is well within their grasp. Thank you, Gina.

[@sachiokun]

Thanks Miss Knight! I finally got this stuff. Loved this video btw. Greetings from Argentina.

American One Productions Rehearsal and Drum Studios in NJ gives two thumbs up 👍🏻🥁👍🏻

[@bronxkies]

@2:55 giving me Vernel Fournier, Poinciana vibes. Love this!

[@rudytormento9753]

Nice explanation. Definitely makes you wanna try it👍

[@Drumaier]

Oh this was amazing, just when i thought i've suscribed to all the valuable drummer's channels i find yours. This lesson was amazing, and your vibe is great. Keep it up fine lady!

[@nbussiere]

That is exactly what just happened to me !

[@555atU]

I love NOLA drumming. Yours sounds great!

[@RajDrummer1]

Awesome lesson and really helpful!

[@charlievan4029]

Very nice Gina Knight! I subscribed!

[@eugeneharding5597]

Are you from New Orleans?

[@Mychannel377]

Hey Eugene! Chicago actually. Hey - thanks for watching :)

[@violaharrison4687]

That's awesome Gina

[@deejaynow]

Thanks for your good explanation and good vibes.

[@varmutantvibes5669]

Looks like you're totally committed to heel-up :). Nicely done, Thanks.

[@nickruggieri2597]

Nice job, Gina!

[@subatomic10]

Loved this tutorial! Awesome ! Thankyou

[@chopperking007]

Your voice melts me....

[@vrodriguesmusic]

Love it!! I'm hopeless at drumset but second-line snare drumming is definitely on my bucket-list ... someday ... thanks for the fun lesson :)

[@Mychannel377]

+Vanessa Rodrigues Great Vanessa! Have fun with it :)

[@garyfoutch5974]

Very scientific yet common sense.. most any drummer can pick it up from your lesson. Thanks..good stuff.

[@idontwanttousemynameyoutub7538]

I'm a guitarist and I play a tune by John Scofield called "In The Cracks" from Flat Out (1989) with Johnny Vidacovich - anyone from New Orleans tell me if the beat is a particular style and if so, where I can find more info?

[@meekoloco]

Well, I’m not from NOLA, but a drummer that knows the style pretty well. Johnny V is playing a slow version/variation of a street beat on the tune you mentioned.

[@idontwanttousemynameyoutub7538]

@@meekoloco Hey thanks for the reply - anywhere that I can hear the particular beat, or is there a video of someone playing the basic style? I like to understand the rhythms that I play.

[@christophercleary6734]

Once again Gina an excellent lesson. I would have liked had you carried out the clave onto the toms as you did in the end, but nonetheless you simplified a tedious lesson. Thanks.

[@Mychannel377]

+CHRISTOPHER CLEARY Chris! :) Thanks - I appreciate your comment. Haaa…."simplified a tedious lesson." THANK YOU ;) Good point on expanding the lesson to cover the clave.

[@bennygoods]

This is Earl Palmer on Little Richard, Fats Domino and Larry Williams stuff...

[@firstmusic00]

Strong stuff...sister. Love it!

[@JakeLindqvist]

Nice work!!!

[@jorgeaznar4172]

Gorgeous! Thanks for your tutorials!

[@tempobob]

Nice!

[@RELIC3862]

Sounds good Gina. Bass drum could have been miced or a little louder being it gets lost. Love the outro thingy.

[@Mychannel377]

+Tim Sutherland Thanks, Tim. I thought the same thing. I remember it being mic'd up -- but you know, I think he forgot to put it up in the mix. Darn. Thanks for watching :)

[@jordimolet7012]

Genial !!

[@michaelbuckner9846]

Good video. think its helpful to mention that blues influenced music interprets the first half of the eighth note as a dotted eighth note and the latter half as a 16th note, that really unlocked the swing feel in my playing. Also improvisation and fluctuating dynamics is key so it doesn't sound robotic and not human. Sometimes forgetting that makes it sound too straight, mathematical and mechanical (or too white as some racists might put it).

[@thatfunkyduck]

Michael Buckner I think you meant "...interprets the first half of the QUARTER note" right?

[@maxgrind28]

I like how your voice sounds

[@ludovicsadjan6927]

Hello. What is your voice microphone ? The sound is just awesome...

[@espresso4yoursoul886]

you are so cool! thanks for this video:))

[@wendygeorgedial7079]

Julia Luis-Dreyfus on drums!

[@Mychannel377]

Hahaha!! Love her! ;)

[@bebobalula]

She's wearing high heels, so it's gonna be Gina Knight's night.

[@eugeneharding5597]

Not bad

[@nathanwood7169]

What kind of snare wires are you using?

[@oscarpena4581]

Great lesson Gina :)

[@Mychannel377]

+oscar peña :) Thanks Oscar! Glad you like it!

[@hectorfabiogt29]

Exelente

[@UPdan]

Dixieland is fun.

[@jasonasbury1993]

Clave lessons might be good.

[@poserp]

Yes, this. IT IS NOT ABOUT SWING. It's about the underlying patterns like the clave.

[@alexismoreno9530]

yes what fun, Why so complicate that excersise into it of your part, to youmis so easy I belive practice more and more

[@Braglemaster123]

Hot Shoes 👠

[@paulussantosociwidjaja4781]

Ooooooo

[@TheMauf]

Ummm?

[@reneedickerson73]

This is not second line drumming. Close, but not. I’m sorry. You should check out Johnny Vidocovich’s videos...

[@pjhoury2072]

Not really second line in feel, in my view. No tuition on all the fills available either.

[@chopperking007]

You should do ASMR..

[@JoeyFielding1]

Gina lets have coffee

[@orgasmtron1]

I am glad she dress descent because I couldnt watch if she didnt

[@richogem]

I just lost all respect when i saw that ur playing with high heels. Why in the world would u..
