Stuck at home this week due to coronavirus scare. I “liked” a couple of your videos, and now KZbin has me on a steady diet of your vids. Honestly, each one is more delicious than the last. You are so awesome. Thank you for sharing.

Not drummers didn't know that just two brushes can sound in such a polyphonic way.) Very interesting.

Thanks Johnny

[@johnnyxmusic]

@@rickdior Thank you so much for leaving a comment. I found you’re playing on your teaching method post to be astoundingly beautiful I’m just now getting into drumming… Over the past couple of years. I’m basically guitar player… But there’s something about time. Pushing and pulling it… And I know that my body has debility to chop up Time in a way that I can’t even quite comprehend with my mind. Of course, I’m an old-school classic rock guy… But I’m also mad for jazz drumming. And the beguiling sound of the brushes. And your work is exemplary and super clean and super tight.

Fantastic lesson, very useful. Thanks!

[@gw8278]

Just beautiful. What a skill set Rick

[@MarkLignell]

Nice Brush technique. I’m looking for a snare drum technique video of Joe Morello that I saw a couple years ago of him playing singles doubles and paradiddles without stopping. Evidently it’s been taken down. It’s short sweet and to the point and quite impressive. Can someone please put it back on KZbin?

[@АнтонАлександровичЧигур]

Шикарно !!!

[@dotkomtom]

This is the real thing.

[@chriscosbey2145]

Do you keep the snares on or off for brushwork?

[@rickdior]

Both. They will usually be on but if there is a bass solo happening I will turn them off so the bass does not activate the snares. I will also turn them off sometimes when I am soloing.

[@GabrielLoto]

Great!!!
