Mark Guiliana: Discovering Orchestration Paths On The Drums

Faster Hands & Feet (in 10 days)
► www.Drumeo.com/faster/
In this lesson, Mark Guiliana will teach you a quick concept that one of his favorite drummers, and former teacher, Dan Weiss taught him almost 20 years ago. This exercise focuses on sending each of your hands on a separate path around the drum kit and circling back to the snare drum. Everything you'll be playing is single strokes!
These concepts will allow you to discover new orchestration paths around the kit yourself, and ultimately expanding your freedom and ability to come up with new drum parts.
Go here to watch Mark's full Drumeo lesson that dives even deeper into the topic of creativity and improvisation:

So calming for some reason.

[@drumrit]

That moment when your ego is crushed because you realise you can't even play singles.

[@antkn33]

No ego

[@tmaddrummer]

A simple fundamental movement that is not so simple to accomplish with such a clean sound that Mark has! Thanks Drumeo, Mark, and Dave for another great lesson! Beautiful drums and cymbals!!!

[@drumspacebasel6905]

Mark is a Master Performer AND a Master Teacher - so clear explained and played with great Sound - giving so much inspiration for going anywhere with one little beautiful concept

[@BCaroselli]

always clear, proper and as respectable as anyone can be. thank you mark!!

[@sergiozdrums]

I like this exercice !! been doing it for quite some years :) I love the way Mark plays it! very soothing !!

[@StompL7]

Excellent i absolutely love mark's way of sharing drum knowledge

[@gregoryhussey6477]

Thats Awesome - I think this guy is my favourite on-line inspiration now - love the Zen approach he has

[@marcusheier7577]

Sounds really nice and relaxing! Very calming

[@MetalMeek]

This is incredibly interesting and simple exercise. Super awesome.

[@DavePurcell66]

Great exercise, thanks for sharing. As others said, it's really calming.

[@skyreadersociety6183]

what I like most & really inspired me on drums is his courage to go new paths, that might sound odd. He's not trying to impress but get something musical and interesting happen.

[@mingchunwan1723]

THIS IS HOLY AMAZING!!!!! Loving this idea

[@andym28]

This is great

[@shantanuchiplunkar3715]

Great video..thnx Drumeo and Mark Guiliana

[@TheDayisMineTrebeck]

Jazz poly rhythms. Rad. The right hand should sync with the left after every 4th go around. Awesome lesson

[@mouldeck]

i wish he made hours-long drum lessons like this for meditation, or to help me fall asleep, this was so relaxing to listen to

[@jftfvlogger2756]

Hi, Drumeo. I loved all your videos.

[@wilberforce95]

beautiful cymbals

[@benf340]

I love this it’s like mental coordination

[@jgd9123]

great lesson!!

[@beatsbyxdrumzzx4485]

so sick, def practicing this!

[@floorted]

Very cool! Thanks.

[@gregoryhussey6477]

That was fun - it flows tonal flow - doing it with doubles and paradiddles gets a bit mind bent but sounds fantastic

[@Fabelnegros]

flawless!!!

[@drumkit1972]

Fantastico... amazing 👏

[@tdrum21]

Very cool. A la Cobham👌🏽🥁🎶

[@tillsommerdrums]

yeah thats what I thought as well. Gavin Harrison showed something very similar in his lesson and mentioned he got that from Billy Cobham

[@thosesmallyesterdays]

Best exercise ever

[@TimSuliman]

Billy Cobham did something similar in that he used different numbered voice groupings to make polyrhythms. Great stuff!

[@harveydrumz]

True

[@travisostbye7732]

Awesome!

[@shaneneedham262]

I love this exercise! I thought it would be fairly easy but to play it smooth and orchestral is difficult.

[@jamesbruce6388]

Made my day that.

[@rjrichmusic]

Looks fun. Gotta try this when I wake up tomorrow.

[@iliegabriel2506]

Good sound

[@pyroseed13]

Nice open bass drum tone.

[@elgranbatera]

thank you dan

[@KhalDrogo76]

Sounds so difficult and it’s single stroke rolls ...genius

[@crazyguyondrums8884]

What a humble guy

[@algernonblackwood1707]

Love your playing Mark! Wondering about your grip which appears non-conforming to what has been taught as physiologically optimal by drum instructors Murray Spivak, Dick Wilson, and Freddie Gruber. Would be interested to hear your perspective on this.

[@qgloafhun]

The first pattern was in the Gavin Harrison video too, neat.

[@AcapRoseknightDrummer]

I'm still doing this exercise. sometimes just to show off to my students or other musician friends haha

[@thebarak]

I once bought a VHS lesson by Billy Cobham which had a similar exercise, except on a hundred toms with five tons of force. It can be quite a brain scrambler!

[@BallsOfCheese95]

Wicked. What are the chances of us seeing a Nate Smith lesson any time soon? I'm sure you must have asked him.

[@deloreanized]

What's the band/song that starts playing at the end?

[@TotallyGoodatGames]

I thought this video was going to be about the paths a drummer could take when playing with an orchestra!

[@zacharywilliams2]

Totally Good at Games same!

[@navneetsingh1090]

Wowwwwww. Pla make a video on how to control speed of your left hand

[@chickenybeefytacoxxx]

Chief Navneet practice with a met

[@Bromoteknada]

Requires skill to play this quiet.

[@yrussq]

Gavin Harrison showed this thing in some of his videos too)

[@TheSingolarmente]

left side ride?

[@conscious__creators]

Is there a transcription for these different patterns? I can’t seem to understand if his right foot is playing quarters what is his right hand playing triplets in 4/4? So lost haha

[@jpla4]

He's playing 16th notes with the hands and quarter notes with his foot

[@asheshrai7817]

adding to pablo, RH subdivisions are 3s while LH are 4s.

[@TheSjj123]

You guys gotta get Kiko Freitas on...Monster

[@drummerjeroensimons]

Hi Drumeo I asked Travis Orbin to come to your show if he was open to that, so maybe that helps you to inform you have another drummer for your future show...!!! Look at his 15 Mai 2018 post and you see me asking the question and his answer in person...Here is a copy (with some Dutch, there I,m Dutch): Jeroen Simons 4 dagen geleden (bewerkt) Hi man, why don,t you do lessons/ be special guest for Drumeo, I know a lot of people are looking out for that...And a good move for your drumcareer and more people know you, totally win win...;) Just my 2 cents... 1 Beantwoorden Gemarkeerd antwoord Travis Orbin 4 dagen geleden I'm open to that! I feel a lot of respect for Travis, due to his humble introvert character and his massive talent and studiowork in the djent, progessive metal, fusion/prog/rock genre...He deserves a place with Drumeo...His chops and independence and work outs are Virgil Donati style.... Cheers from The Netherlands, Jeroen Simons, Independent/ex- Epica.

[@Dsullivann]

Elvin Jones was great at this technique

[@sonipranjal10]

Finally... first comment This pattern sound like starting of the song called Idiot prayer by Porcupine Tree

[@amjan]

Gavin Harrison has tought me that pattern almost 10 years ago, so I'm sure he may have used it in PT as well.

[@sonipranjal10]

amjan yeah, but this song came out 22 years ago and Maitland did the drumming.

[@pakovegabateria]

subtitles in spanish please... i'm from mexico... greetings

[@y0Jxckk]

pako vega bateria greetings from Warrington England sir

[@Mr713819]

It's like an orchestration based polyrhythm. I guess itd be called a polypath?

[@davidreynolds4942]

Alfonso Quintanilla yeah that’s cool

[@brendanbird828]

GET JIMMY BRANLY ON DRUMEO!!!

[@kimbeomcheol]

billy cobham's

[@kevinmoabpachecosegura2298]

😵😵😵

[@EhyJoey]

Billy Cobham discovered it 40 years ago

[@robertopistolesi2735]

It is a concept, nobody discovered it, African music discovered it maybe 2000 years ago. 19th century composers made full use of the concept. If you want to quote another drummer who did this, you can Tony Williams, who was, by the way, the drummer from whom Cobham took a lot of inspiration from.

[@13Drumsticks]

That moment when you realize you have no idea how to play any other than single notes.

[@sharadsaraswat1902]

No offence. This requires some really amazing left/right hand coordination.

[@rahilanees2343]

Sharad Saraswat Not really... you just have to be decent mate

[@sharadsaraswat1902]

Rahil Anees Decent about what mate? I don't know drumming but I really appreciate whatever I could see.

[@sharadsaraswat1902]

Drumming really requires good coordinating with all four limbs.

[@360.Tapestry]

i'm offended

[@sharadsaraswat1902]

Kryptonite how?

[@eugenesong8357]

My brain hurts

[@THEFISH-eb7rd]

Second

[@DarrellTron]

My brain definitely would’ve shut down half way through this

[@icarusproducciones6755]

26 are lars ulrich fans :V

[@AntiBOtix]

Guy in the back yells* “Play it faster you wuss!”

[@AEMachinas]

Where's your left foot bro?

[@kseebees94]

Dan Weiss is the reason I gave up on being a "serious drummer"

[@sanityinaseaofmadness7353]

Am I wrong, or is the "famous" Billy Cobham lick the starting point for this lesson? Obviously, you can take something from another artist, and build something just as valid (or even better) on top of it - so I'm not criticizing a damn thing here. I'm just saying I recognize this from this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epa5qHWtjNZsg8k Opinions? It's a genius repurposing of old school awesomeness, if I'm right...

[@robertopistolesi2735]

It is a concept, not a lick, and probably no one but Dan Weiss and Mark Giuliana legitimised it in a dedicated video, even many drummers know about this. Tony Williams was one of the pioneers in the use of this. You can assign different ratios to each hand, or rudiment. The possibilities are endless. This video is about a different approach to practice, with a musical/visual/mind splitting concept in mind.

[@dallin_stagg]

Wtf was that intro. Lol

[@jangitz]

wtf was this

[@thodoris03]

ohhh mannn come on now!!!!!!!!!!! it is a drum set. PLAY LOUDLY ON IT. DO NOT BE ''AFRAID''OF IT.
