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 . . .

- 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 .

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

[@kenstrohan5089]

Hly fk...my mind is blown!

[@cameronwinn6935]

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

[@MrTooVaLoo]

track called Endure, it is on his DVD

[@j.p.lindsay6768]

PROOF that size doesn't matter!! ; )

[@j.p.lindsay6768]

BASS DRUM size, that is... :)

[@melaniej9836]

I get it.

[@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.

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

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

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