How Well Do You Know The Blushda?

[@Mark-sm5km]

Vin Diesel, you are a great drummer

[@rikiandrewz2771]

Sounds so good man, keep it up!

[@grooveman69]

It sounds cool when you alternate the blushda and the Hertha and use them together.

[@michaeljuliano8839]

Shoot, I thought I was going into a Steve Smith video. Even with that, I wasn't disappointed with what you showed me.

[@tdrum21]

Nice stuff here. Thanks for this. Where's the rest of the series?

[@bsm6776]

Kit sounds awesome

[@jeffreywegener8841]

Great. I’ve seen a blushda written a few way . But I think of it essentially as a non - alternating flam drag . Right ? Thanks & thanks for you cool musically interpretations .

[@Horizen3872]

This is going to take a lot of practice!! Ha. Thank you for posting. Your videos are the best!!

[@davidcarrica2196]

Very well explained! Thank you!

[@dogmart]

This is the "Tony Williams" lick, yes?

[@jonathanyoung1771]

His bass drum sounds like shit In this video! Still one of the best teachers on the internet!

[@adrok1830]

Louis or anybody - I can't find the original video you refer to. I've looked thoroughly with no luck. If you can pls hit me back with the title or link.. Thanks ✌🏽️

[@charliehair5491]

Great skills budddd

[@penisbreath952]

wowowow those cymbals!

[@schmarotzke8205]

When you want to learn the Blushda, I think it's an easier way to see it as a Triplet-Fill, or even easier: an eight-note fill in 6/8. The Blushda repeats after 3 strokes, so why thinking in 16th notes? It means that you play 3 over 4, which can be quite difficult for "Blushda-Beginners".

[@dallin_stagg]

I think just because it's gnarly by nature. It just doesn't fit well one blushda per beat. I do agree with you though.

[@onuj469]

What bass drum is that? Sounds killer.

[@gairdog]

You sound great! Hey Louie... I propose that these are not Blushda's at all - but rather Bushda's (when you play the flam in the front together). Blushda's have a distinct flam in front... and Balushda's have a wider flam (sometimes preceded by a kick). Tony is the first I know who played the Blushda with a wide splashy hat to great effect (I'm sure there are many others and as you mentioned... Steve Smith followed). Tony called them Reverse Drag Flams (see the Dawson book). Cheers and keep it up. I LOVE your playing!

how is your phone right next to your hihat is it a stand if so what brand

[@andresloaysa4283]

why is it call Blushda ? in fact the ride cymbal sounds great, what cymbal is it ? :)

[@blueburnsred]

+Andrés Loaysa The name is kind of like paradiddle in that saying it sounds like the fill itself. When he's playing one in the video, say "blushda" along with it. It's pretty clever!

[@andresloaysa4283]

ahhh, thankss, thanks so much :D .. and what about the ride cymbal ?

[@louiepalmerdrums]

+Andrés Loaysa It's a 22" Sabian Artisan Light Ride

[@PeterHelfrichonDrums]

Hey Drummer whats is you name?

[@fengrr]

what app is that?

[@RoyaltonDrummer922]

It'd be helpful to post the first two videos first

[@evanpragliola4947]

Sounds even more sick if u open the flam up and don’t play it unison

[@SuperAnimalDrummer]

why is he not flamming?

[@schmarotzke8205]

+heh For me the flam is just an optional/additional note that you CAN add if the fill itself works out for you.

[@joseperez8695]

nice hands

[@parkertrent6941]

so a flam drag with a foot ostinodo?

[@agee23]

Yeah that's what I thought at first. But I guess the only difference is which hand the diddle is played on.

[@sevenfacecomplex]

More a Swiss triplet with the 2d note diddled. ...

[@nenissaK]

Pretty ok to me

[@johnmctier5187]

These are Swiss drags

[@larkydozer]

pronounced it wrong but played it sooooo right.

[@shootsbraw]

Very nice... On a totally different note...your bass drum sound is unacceptable...the fact that you don't hear how it is horribly out of tune and horribly mic'ed and mixed is beyond me...That overtone makes me want to gouge out my eyes and eat them. 😘

[@ValentinoValenti]

stick to playing it slow.

[@chefboymaui]

Bass drum suck
