The feathering of the bass drum is something I always seem to forget . . . this was a great reminder . . . it has to be felt, not played . . .

It’s not the size of your bass drum but how you play it.....if you know what I mean

[@damcerruti]

- Habla en inglés, gesticula con total seguridad y representa a un original de una base-estilo, pero observen que el golpe de la Corchea con Puntillo es un golpe introducido (descansando). Experimenten y escuchen el sonido del platilo, con un golpe introducido y otro externado, suavemente como la interpretación .

Does anyone know what jazz number he plays in the intro of all these videos?

[@MrTooVaLoo]

track called Endure, it is on his DVD

[@kenstrohan5089]

Hly fk...my mind is blown!

[@tuffguy007]

Great lesson but I'm stuck on the left hand. Which beats do you use? Thanks so much!

[@kamb26]

If we are looking at sixteenth notes snare hits should be 1, the ah of 2 for the first measure. In the next measure it’s 1, the ah of 2, and he adds a beat on 4. In the fast version he plays 1, the ah of 2, 4 for first measure then 1, the ah of 2, 3, 4 for the second measure. He doesn’t really explain this(he just does it and expects the viewer to get it bc he’s counting out loud). For a better teacher look up Stephen Taylor on KZbin.

PROOF that size doesn't matter!! ; )

[@j.p.lindsay6768]

BASS DRUM size, that is... :)

[@melaniej9836]

I get it.

[@inthapocket378]

There is some weird high end noise with this video. Great material though!

[@jamarathonpolygon7735]

Lol “comping” comes from “accompanying” not “complementing”

real friends don't let friends play the hi-hat on 2n4
