[@007gumshoe]

[@bassaroo]

Ooooh - I wish I could hear a few more minutes. GUess I'll have to buy the DVD!!! ...subdivided click of some kind...

[@RobertDelRose]

Did you buy it ? update Bob

[@cubbykovu8955]

The fact that you can deliberatly drum badly is rather impressive

[@crimsun7186]

+Cubby Kovu You can see him laughing. When you have it memorized in your muscles, it's actually harder to play badly.

[@cubbykovu8955]

I bet It is It is like learning all over again

[@place_desjardins]

Interesting. I jog around my neighborhood and there's this kid who is practicing drums. Cool. His timekeeping sucks and he's working on, I think, improving a double-bass groove and he is always coming in on the four late... always. ALWAYS. I wish he would watch this.

[@batraco24]

por un libro de este señor, yo aprendi mas ritmos. Es bueno el tipo

[@hackysackdude120]

so when i think about developing or creating a pulse with this instrument there is really four ideas tha ti have that i work through 1. the ability to keep solid time

[@AquaAnim]

@SonorSonicFan cuz in a groove you gotta have that backbeat.

[@Hoprgras]

I bet you struggled, trying to mess it up! Very Well Put!

[@hackysackdude120]

pulse will be dramatically affected by it an it iwll be very difficult to develope long term over the whiole composition.or through the whole evenings performance

[@prodrummerbill]

@sevenoverthree Totally! In my experience, time is best learned by playing with others who have a more developed sense of time. And listening to lots of great players and how their playing interacts with the groove. Intentionally doing the wrong thing might bring to the surface a couple of issues, but probably won't teach you a whole lot because real progress comes from pushing toward a higher ideal, not NOT doing the infinite amount of wrong things.

[@hackysackdude120]

think about keeping time and i break it down into two parts

[@hackysackdude120]

pulse will be dramatically affected by it an it iwll be very difficult to develope long term over the whiole composition.

[@sh4ne-]

so basically what i learned here is, if kevin smith lost weight, he could play the drums really well...

[@DJAliasSin]

whaaaat...? Meter is not the BPM! Meter is amount of downbeats in a particular unit of time, such at 4 quarter notes per bar = 4/4. I'm not referring to the time signature witch of course is 4/4, 3/4, 6/8, etc....

[@shed412]

omg god subdidved clicks of WHAT!?!?!!we may never know...

[@joepulvirenti5728]

No I like the the second you say in no is better to me

[@aakkoin]

good stuff... it's all about swing and groove to me... too many robots around..

[@SonorSonicFan]

Why does everyone that claims to be a groove master seem to have a snare with a high pitched ring that they play just a little too hard?

[@CharlieWeller]

Already been said but should be reiterated.. Meter refers to the # of beats per measure, TOTALLY different from beats per minute. yikes!!

[@MikeMiheli]

yep. funny that even a star like russ makes this mistake.

[@Emilianobatero22]

MALISIMO

[@upbeatmantis86]

i can see that he's having a hard time making mistakes.. LOL..

[@Direwolf56]

I disliked the video for the confusion of meter with tempo. That's kind of a big mistake. :-)

You have no idea what your grandmother is and isn't capab
