IN THE SHED Ep15 - JAZZ DRUMMING - Intro To Comping

[@georgecharlesnelsoniii2668]

I love that you're playing jazz in a Van Halen shirt keep being a boss!

[@LouRadon]

Every time I think of checking out a new drum technique, I end up back at, "Ok, let's see what Rob Brown says and plays." Haha

[@mjulio71]

Great lesson, Rob! This is actually how the old school gentlemen taught, I believe. The late, great Chuck Flores asked me to play "some jazz time"... after a minute, he went "ok, too much Chapin book". He proceeded to give me two comping phrases per week, similar to these. Didn't want to hear anything else. After a couple of months, playing in an ensemble with a pianist who hated jamming with me, he actually went "hey men, that felt good - you've been working on your Swing?". Chapin's and similar methods must be regarded as "Coordination Books", period. Once again, great lesson as always.

[@donkotouc8377]

Very nice lesson; Rob’s teaching style is very practical, relaxed, and unpretentious...

[@FawleyJude]

I've been playing jazz for years and I think the approach on this lesson actually works pretty well as an introduction for a beginning or intermediate player. Sure there's a lot more going on in jazz if you dig deeper into it, but amazingly enough you actually can do a credible job of comping with just these three licks. Simple but not simplistic. Hopefully it gives people some confidence in playing so they feel comfortable going on further with it, hitting some books like John Riley's "Art of Bebop Drumming".

[@JonathanFosa]

Indeed a great approach from Rob. But if you want to learn all the types of combinations of comping including the "traditional swing" on the ride like we all learn in the beginning. (So not the eight note "basic swing" as Rob is playing here). Than you actually do need to invest time in the "stickings". Cause Comping in one way or another does request learning sticking patterns. In particular where the snare meets the dotted sixteen note in the swing. Very tricky in the beginning...

[@dewainkoester1026]

That ride cymbal sounds excellent!

[@bennymalone]

Thank you! I don’t know why people won’t explain it like you have here - they seem to like to keep some mystery to it

[@jsstroup81]

Finally a left hand comping tutorial that makes sense! Thank you!!

[@rhythmantic]

The paradiddle-diddle is a very handy pattern when played as 8th note triplets for comping the jazz groove, starting with either beat 2 or 4. (right hand on ride, left on snare. Thanks for the lesson Rob

[@RogierRJDonker]

Right sir!

[@stephenmahlstedt8533]

I just tried this and I love it. I found myself repeating the same patterns often when comping, and the paradiddle-diddle mixes it up a little for me. Thanks!

[@iBaraban]

Billy Ward's thing :)

[@bobcropsey2550]

Rob, great lesson. First time seeing you, I will view all your videos. I've been playing rock for 40 years. Trying to learn Jazz for my later years. I like your concept.

[@Drumma75]

Spang-a-langin with a VH shirt on. Now that's dope.

[@StMartin7]

Spang-a-langin. That word is dope.

[@davidperez5089]

Fuck yeah don`t forget the VH bros. dad was a jazz musician.

[@thebanned5331]

AVH found it impossible NOT to swing when he played. It’s what made him so great.

[@amyo]

RIP Van Halen

[@Dstixx_]

Spang-a-langin that’s odd but I like it

[@bostjanlaba]

This is one of the coolest thing in jazz for me.

[@yougotgroove]

Lots of likes on this lesson..... I don't understand why 25 people give a thumbs down..... Maybe they have a youtube channel and a video lesson on how to have a closed mind, and how to project negativity..... For those dislikers, I have hope you.....that one day you will find your purpose in life (and that is service) to serve one another.....since the beginning of man kind (kind man) Before religion, that's what we are supposed to do! Glad your doing it Rob!

[@daviewavie112]

Great tips/advice. Can’t wait to try this out.

[@bobbytyler4090]

This is just what I’ve been looking for .. Fantastic lessons and so well explained. Thank you

[@Domokoso]

Very good lesson In my case i was pretty lost with the left hand at the beginning until i realised that it operates a lot like playing piano, where the ride was playing melody and the left was playing and accenting chords. You move that concept to the drums and it works perfectly. I also realised that the left hand was to support some specific notes improvised by the soloist. Cheers!

[@thomyyyyyy]

Domokoso nice, gonna implement that to my playing,thx

[@RogierRJDonker]

Never thought of it like that... good point

[@marciamakesmusic]

Yeah man! Comping is all about creating a musical conversation between the rhythm section and the soloist!

[@edmundclarke1122]

wow cant thank you enough Rob not played for 40 more yrs due to severe traffic acc and decided to learn traditional grip learning bebop great help thanks

[@charliechuckles5579]

F-n great lesson. Thank you very much Rob. You explained the philosophy behind it. Thanks.

[@millie179]

Thanks man.....the mystery unraveled...awesome job

[@marcoghizzoni1708]

Wow, man, you've opened my mind! Great stuff, thank you!

[@AnotherMomentWithDave]

Excellent instruction and advice Rob!

[@carlosmagnopereira]

The way you explain playing jazz is amazing. I love this art form. Thank you for revealing your secrets in jazz.

[@einsteinalexander7187]

this is a killer jazz drum lesson！

[@Gemashke]

Great video, Rob! I'm a freelance drummer/percussionist in L.A. and always enjoy hearing other player's perspectives on things. You present the material in a clear and approachable manner and are very encouraging. Those are the marks of a great teacher! Keep up the great work, Sir!!

[@GorcStew]

I thought you were going to start saying something like "just fill in the gaps with what feels right" or something along those lines but you explained it really well :) comping might feel natural to someone who has been doing it all their musical lives but not so much to someone like me who has just played rock and funk.

[@chefwik1]

Thank you for your amazing lessons. You’ve taught me so much.

[@peaches7824]

Robby you are so smooth! Great information

[@citydrums7525]

Delicious percussive simplicity--that goes a long way!

[@ericgreen2152]

Great relaxed coaching, no ego tripping getting in the way ! Great drum skills ! Wish I had a teach like you when I started in the late 60's . I mistakenly didn't take lessons, but practiced insatiably . Ten years later I was a sought after drummer for rock and blues , but couldn't figure out be bop even though I got pretty good at trad jazz . Get lessons and learn to sight read , I've lost a lot of gig money by not doing that !

[@aidanschram9652]

Thanks for the advice! As an 18 y/o drummer looking to become a full time musician, this is very helpful

[@GediSpock]

Exactly what I was looking for today Rob. Cheers mate. Boss that.

[@NJSmusic1]

Thank you brother, you are the truth.

[@A.ChristopherJohnson]

Right on RB !!!

[@DreamBig48]

Wow! Thank you for making it simple to learn. Great lesson!

[@rickspyder1]

very good lesson ...Simple and sweet

[@9gryffen]

love it and your style of teaching, keep up the good work!

[@deradler3261]

I like your teaching style. Thank you for the videos

[@utube2664]

I started playing drums in late 50tes my main drum partner was Chico Hamilton he would come once or twice a year so far everything I'm seeing u do is exactly what I'd did to learn to play from the pad to the towels pillows tape Chico helped me make a carrier of it u in my view r so on point I will recommend u 2 every drummer I know what I'm seeing is exactly what I did to learn to play it brings back so many mimries Thanks very very much BMo

[@forrest76-m8v]

Bruh, I got so much from that lesson. Fairly new to jazz drummer and all of its many styles and ways to play it. It's drummer on another level. This really helps, all I need to do is lock it in a speed it up. Thank

[@fivebyfivesound]

Great starting point. Thanks 🙏🏽

[@MarioCalzadaMusic]

Wow!! Really love your sound!!

[@kevinbowes9342]

Rob - I hope all goes well for you. World class instructor. Love that big ride cymbal bro.

[@alexandrucozma7288]

That was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!!!

[@gerdmeyer9247]

Thank you Rob great lesson greetings from germany

[@geoffreydlang]

Great stuff! This vocabulary can be expanded significantly when you substitute any or all of the notes in any of these 3 phrases with another limb (RF / LF / RH), as well as permutating the phrases by starting them on different parts of any beat in the bar; if you're subdividing each beat into triplets (at slower tempos), you'll find yourself slowly creating new drum melodies while keeping time. :)

[@hananshells8055]

Great lesson! Thank you sir! God Bless. ❤️

[@naxgaubert7668]

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

+Jackie Enx I ❤️❤️VH 🙂

[@johnnybgoode1108]

Really helpful thanks mate

[@danielclee1]

The man has two VH t-shirts. Top lad 👍

[@BetoPerretta]

That last one you show (third one) if you play a paradiddle-diddle starting on the 2 or 4 sounds just like that but with the swung ride pattern. In other words right hand plays the ride swing pattern while left hand fills the gaps.

[@scotishdude]

this is awesome thanks that helps a lot

[@jazzhole8208]

love your approach and the old school stuff. . . awesome feeling ✌ thanks for the inspiration sir ✌

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

No sweat. Thanks for watchin! ✌🏽

[@appleeatingmaniac9253]

RIP VH 💗

[@tdrum21]

Your snare gets such a nice long buzz to it. Have do you have your wires and bottom head set?

[@baterizmo]

Great stuff, man...really usefull

[@Benzoperidol]

Hey man. First off all, thanks for this video, it has helped me a lot in the path of comping, this tools made a lot smoother my jazz playing. I was wondering if you have any other video where you go deeper in this subject or that you teach some more intricate tips and comping excercises. If not, it would be really cool if you made another video that goes around this subject. Saludos desde Chile! Keep it real!

[@dcgreen1987]

Best intro/explanation to/of comping going. I can finally get something going without it sounding like a rock player hammering jazz. Thanks!

[@wiktoriabialic271]

Thank you!

[@adrianrico9195]

And your ride??(what is it used for).

[@bigstyledrums6900]

hi am hermann from cameron am really blessed by your video on gospel chops and many others i would like to work with you more likea teacher

[@cristinajamma3497]

Cooll.... Thanks rob ...but the difficult thing of jazz is syncopation ...to make musicality and add spice to the Jazz groove , I think is important the blend between base drum and snare ..and the ride pattern must be constantly in triplet like a auto pilot ....of course for training ...playing with a band is different because of course jazz is improvisation sometimes ....

[@djsroberts]

Are all your jazz in the shed videos available?

[@VeganFootsoldier]

super helpful
