It's Riley's take on a Bill Stewart 7-note phrase. Stewart's uses a bass drum on the 7th note where John uses a double left. I've also heard Stewart phrase it inside of triplets which really messes with the perception of the evenness of the triplets. I also have done it over triplets as an eight-note phrase by adding another bass drum note. It can get very interesting if you play it alternating with a seven-note followed by an eight-note phrase in triplets or vice-versa. Don't get hung up in the math. Just feel the quarter-note pulse and keep the 2&4 in the hat and improvise something on whatever leftover beats you have whether you're doing a 2 bar phrase or four bar phrase overall. And learning these as eighth-note and triplet phrases is great for expanding vocabulary.

Great Phrase, I´d also play the part on the rack tom with the left when playing the ride cymbal, just to reference the lick when comping, to make it feel less separated. Thanks for sharing!

What would you say someone had to learn, practice and do in order to play like this?

@michaelnesi0827 7 ай бұрын

I have studied with a lot of teachers over the years, starting when I was 10 years old, I am now 52. A teacher is always a great place to start, if you have a local music store, in person is great at least for when you are starting. Books are great however don't be in a rush to turn a page. I have spent, months and years on exercises. When I started I would complete a page a week in various books with my first teachers. There is criteria that you should set before moving on to new material, 1. can you count out loud while playing. 2. Can you use it in a form, for example a groove be able to play it for three measure with a fill on the fourth measure and get back into the groove. Use a metronome for all practice however don't have the click play on all notes of the time signature you are practicing. In the case of 4/4, put the click on 1,3, then try 2,4, then 1, etc. This will teach you to know where you are. Listen to the music of the genre you are studying. Learn to read music if you can not, dum notation is not hard. I loop exercises at least 8 measures before moving on. The greats especially in the Jazz genre played all of the time, that is not easy these days, so practice as much as they would have played in that genre, playing with music, playing with musicians, playing with a click, create a set list that would be around the same time as they played on set with Jazz standards and play that through a few times per week. I can go on but I hope this helps.

I wanted to add one more item which is a conclusion I came to in the last few years. Don't spend too much time on a practice pad. Spend as much time as you can playing the instrument and working on your sound. Think about your sound ALWAYS, while practicing with a book, playing to records, and playing with musicians. Had I put all the time I spent on practice pads on the set I would be lightyears farther. Technique obtained on a pad does not automatically translate to the set. Work on your dynamics on the kit, the pad does not help in this area.

@@patches4170 I did Advanced Techniques for The Modern Drummer, by Jim Chapin, I was fortunate to have studied with Jim, and worked on the book with him. I spent a lot of time using Syncopation with Alan Dawson like systems. This book has all of the systems, many I had just gotten from various teachers, who probably had gotten them through word of mouth from people that studied with Alan. The Drummer's Complete Vocabulary As Taught by Alan Dawson, by John Ramsay has all of Alan's systems. New Breed, Amazing Book, I highly recommend, pay attention to the singing. Future Sounds by David Garabaldi, I saw David perform a clinic from which I still have the handouts, I was 12, the handouts were the beginning of that book. Afro-Cuban Rhythms for Drumset Frank Malabe, All f Gary Chaffee Patterns Books, I studied with a Gary for a few years. Amazing concepts. If you want to learn more about Gary check out Steve Michaud, he was a long time student of Gary, (in person lessons for years), he knows Gary's material better than Gary. Portaits in Rhythm, Anthony Cirone. Charles Wilcoxon, Modern Rudimental Swing Solos. All of the books I listed you can spend a lifetime working on, I still work from them.

Wow what a hidden jem. Mr Nesi have you always been a jazz drummer or do you dabble in other genres? Also what do you think about traditional vs match grip? Do you have a preference? Why?

@michaelnesi0827 Жыл бұрын

Thank you! No I try to play everything, I grew up playing mostly rock, but I really love Afro Cuban, funk, and Brazilian Music as well. I practice all three grips, French, German, and match. Traditional comes out more when I play brushes, I play the ride using French, and will mix and match French and match grips around the kit. Bruce Becker helped me tremendously with technique.

what mic did you use?

@michaelnesi0827 Ай бұрын

I have a very small production, every video I have posted is simply recorded with my iPhone. I have a USB Mic you may see dangling above is some videos, I only use that for lessons, when my playing is not coming through, never for recording.
