Play Like Marcus Gilmore 1 - The 80/20 Drummer

[@StephenTaylorDrums]

Great lesson Nate. I appreciate you stressing the fact that what we're hearing played by current players has a history that they're ingesting, dissecting, and then building upon.

[@8020drummer]

Thanks for the kind words, Stephen. Flattered that you took the time to watch and comment!

[@barryfeeley1724]

Thanks for posting your videos. After decades they have inspired me to get back on the kit and learn how to play again. Your teaching approach is great.

[@marianosteimberg2747]

such a cool lesson and explained with a lot of clarity and sense of humor. Nate since I discovered your videos I have been inspired again on drums and erased the "what to practice" eternal question out of my head. Keep doing this oustanding job man!

[@steelejerome]

This is so inspiring. And timely, since Marcus just destroyed my brain again with the new Vijay Iyer album coming out last week. Your stuff goes so far beyond just showing how to play a lick or a phrase. The information you share is kind of like a nudge through a doorway that encourages me to go as deep as I can with the ideas. In a sense it reminds of me "the advancing guitarist" by mick goodrick ( guitar is my primary instrument). that book balances information, humility and humor in a way that provides boundless inspiration for the journey of learning this music. Your videos strike that same balance and offer the same jolts of inspiration. Thank you.

[@8020drummer]

Thanks!

I'm amazed by the way you're able to integrate deeper concepts and history with practical licks and cleaner takeaways. I'm more of a weekend/wanna-be drummer, but I get so much from your lessons on so many levels. You're a gifted teacher (and as someone who has been training teachers professionally for many years- I'm not just blowing smoke). Great stuff.

Best learning channel I’ve ever seen

[@AquaAnim]

Love watching these Nate, always great to see you share your knowledge.

At the risk of pushing you further into Rational Funk territory - a tihai is really any little rhythmic phrase that is played three times ("ti" = 3) and resolves on "saam," which means the top of the cycle, but we can think of it as beat 1. This is not to be confused with the Hindustani composition Chakradar, which is a much longer composition that is played three times before it resolves on "1." So, if we want to make this neat little cel into a tihai, we'll want to move your three beat phrase to the end, and play it three times, so it resolves on 1. The rules here are a little flexible - that little tail (ride snare hi-hat) that you added can be omitted on the third repitition. This is handy, as it makes the phrase 8 beats long - easy to use in 4|4. And, it just so happens to be what you played! Great lesson. I needed a refreshing way to get my head out of books for a little bit and all these exercises are really helping me out.

[@andrewwray8778]

This is so great. Love it!

[@PaulMarangoni]

So cool! So hip! So now! Thanks Nate.

[@OneUpDrumVids]

ahh dude so good!! I hadn't checked this one yet!

[@8020drummer]

Always a high compliment coming from you!

[@enape42]

great videos man. I've always been a Cobham fan, but never tried to break down some of his concepts. very helpful

[@petitlouis5010]

I never got interested with jazz... until I heard you play and say "how fuckin hard is that" I laughed so hard. Now I listen and try to understand this special kind of music. Thank you.

[@8020drummer]

Ha! Thanks!

[@cjwolfedrums2077]

Great lesson!

[@adityadutta6320]

Man, you are really inspiring!

[@stevekimball7697]

Yes

[@MonacoRocha]

my favourite jazz drummer is Charlie watts ..lol!

[@grigorisoikonomou2952]

Great lesson Nate! I have a question, at the first lick, you are using lrrl at the snare, is there any reason why you do this? Is it sound better? Isn't it easier and more useful to play it llrl or lrll?

[@mauriciocarloscostanzo2265]

Great lesson!!! And funny jaja "don´t do this on a weding gig".jajaja. :)

[@drumsnippets4171]

Thx a lot for this video. The first one I saw from you. Will check out the others too:)

[@futureman69]

Awesome lesson, as always; I like your "mind hack" approach to drumming and find it easier to work with and internalize these small chunks of rhythmic ideas. Also: I don't want to turn this into an equipment forum discussion, but what brand/model hi hats are they? They have a really great sound...

[@gabrielyanez1614]

What is the sticking for the "4/4" pattern at 8:43? It sounds like (in eight notes) SKTKS(rest)KT. I could be wrong but wanted to confirm that. Thanks for the vid!

[@pablomarin-marquez1028]

Yes but the second snare hit also has a tom hit at the same time So its L-K-R-K-LR-rest-K-R

[@gabriellaalberici46]

Hi Nate, Could you tell us the sticking and kick pattern for the lick at 8:42 please? Thanks

[@NikkiStixx86]

love it thank you. yeah good ole tee hi

[@ryanfinney7181]

Good stuff, good stuff! Any videos coming out around Bill Stewart's style?

[@ghdrum]

Yeah man!!! Subscribed.

[@gimmythemusic123]

Dat smirk at 8:17

[@MonacoRocha]

you sound great brother.. who do you play with ?? Do you make a Living Playing?? You Should Be Out There Tearing it up.. Very Knowledgable Dude ....

[@joyceroberts5237]

Your independence is crazy 😂🤔

[@highvibee]

I love my buzzing screen on every 1 and 3 :p

[@DeanMccormick]

Nice;)

[@8020drummer]

Thanks dude! Checked out your channel and dig your "cut to the chase" style. A nice contrast with my long-windedness:P

[@DeanMccormick]

Not at all dude, it's all in the detail as Da Vinci would say. I don't have the room or facilities to film here, otherwise would be doing similar. Your channel will rise in hits exponentially as there's more of a personal, human connection.. Love your tutorials, go deep! D;).

[@donovanjones4175]

You have redeemed yourself from that toms too high not a pro vid. This is fantastic,

[@bahb00001]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZu8foiqa72Ff5Y skip to 3:17 I like that you know what you're talking about! Keep posting man! You're appreciated! Exclamation!

[@8020drummer]

That's the lick! I dare say he's using it slightly better than I do:P

[@sebasmontreux]

damn... this is hard. Is this a 3 against 4, right?

[@a5dr3]

Nice lesson. You could have made it a bit easier to follow on the second half but whatevs.

[@cfratus3]

How you not gonna mention Roy! they are related. cool vid tho, like the way u break it down

[@joseperez8695]

How to. Play how to play how to play .how to play l'île the 80/20

[@mackabeats]

It's ok...I'd rather play like me with all my foibles.

[@nunnayuhbitness6708]

Excellent lesson.
