[@somebloke13]

Outstanding! 😎👏👍

[@craigwilliams501]

I was just starting to write out some exercises to work on my snare-bass chatter when this came up in my feed. Great stuff! I’m definitely buying your book.

[@rickdior]

Hi Craig The book is available from me at [e-mail] Thanks

I didn’t understand at 12:14 what the groupings are :/) what you refer to groupings

Exceptional

[@fabiozago1704]

Complimenti. 👍👍👍

[@rhythmfield]

This is some great playing Rick! I am looking forward to trying these concepts out.

Those hihat cymbals are they zildjian made, i had 12 inch sock or hihat dark zildjian that sounded different than those and using mine for jazz sounded great.

[@rickdior]

Yes, they are zildjian remix hats.

The volume of the click is representative of how low you have in your headphones?

[@rickdior]

More or less. It is not loud at all in my headphones.

[@andrebanini]

Hi Rick, I was wondering if you have any good concept or exercises on how to intervene the hi-hat with foot within time feel/ groove or within soloing apart from keeping an ostinato?

[@rickdior]

Hi Andre Just put one up 5 minutes ago. We must be connected some how.

[@andrebanini]

@@rickdior that’s strange 🤩, I was practicing in my garage and came up with some interesting ways with the hi-hat and I thought Rick must have something on this 😃👍

[@andrebanini]

Hi Rick, working from your book now 😊, do you keep the right hand as the lead hand for each of the 4 16th note groupings? I guess it’s a good idea to do both right hand lead, and also alternate throughout.

[@andrebanini]

That is page 121

[@rickdior]

Hi Andre You should practice leading with both hands. You can also play it with the hands in unison at a slower tempo.

[@andrebanini]

@@rickdior yes ok got it, thanks 🙏

[@DogbadTV]

Rick, are you playing the hats on 1 and 3 here?

[@rickdior]

Yes, with splashes, but you should practice this with as many hi hat patterns as possible.

[@larrbrown7277]

What temperature do use to reduce the cymbals size.

[@rickdior]

Hi larr Put the dryer on the following settings: Delicate Wrinkle Care Optimal Dry You may want to throw in some fabric softener if the cymbal is a bright one. Hope this Helps RD

[@rhythmfield]

@@rickdior hah!!

[@kilmoturtles1]

I put my cymbals in the dryer because you said they would shrink. Not only did they not shrink, but my dryer is now broken. Please send me bitcoin so that I can purchase a new dryer, otherwise I will be left to cry in the comments section

[@rickdior]

Hi Tim It sounds like you put too many in the dryer at once. I believe I said only one at a time. If you want to do a whole set I would suggest a laundromat with industrial strength machines. A good one is Sunshine Cleaners in Brooklyn. They have great pinball machines and a bar there as well. You should be able to fit at least a 22" in those machines. Last week I needed an opera gong so I put my chau gong in there and 1 hour later......good to go.

[@kilmoturtles1]

@@rickdior Hmm, ok I will try that, but something still sounds a little fishy, and I've got pretty good ear for this stuff. There's an old saying in Tennessee, I think in Texas, fool me once ,strike one, fool me again, strike three.

[@rickdior]

Well I'm from New York so I don't know anything about that.
