The Language of Bill Stewart / Inside the Teaching Studio

[@TomAinsworth94]

Just a heads up for anyone watching this reading the notation.. the 6 beat phrase at around 5:20 is a left handed paradiddle not right. So just flip the sticking as the notation on screen is the opposite of what’s being played

[@VicFirthCompany]

oops. you're right! and the next one is a left paradiddle too. Thanks, Tom!

[@TomAinsworth94]

No problem! & good shout, I missed that one. Great vid though, thanks for sharing

[@gt3065]

Man poor sticking notation. Maybe you should have gone to UNT. Kidding. Sound great good info .

[@willmonson7730]

Jazz drums played really well and blending right in with the trio!

[@brianaxb9429]

Your student makes a superb teacher. I really appreciate all the great knowledge I will now use. Thank you.

[@jasper36]

The bass solo is fantastic as well!

[@alexxpopalexx9728]

Nice :-) I love Bill Stewart's way to play - especially when he plays with Swallow & Scofield so beautiful symbiotic.

[@raymondkarlsson9794]

Thanks for good playing and work! Just don’t forget to catch your own thing (ideas).

What a great lesson, very well presented. As a side note, the drums sound beautiful from what appears to be a 3 mic setup ; awesome sound.

Really cool stuff. I especially appreciate the format of playing / lesson / playing.

this is so cool! thanks!

After 10 years I can finally do a passable My Sharona. This might take me just a little while to master. (seriously though, great video)

[@whiteroom05]

Awesome stuff. I saw this guy play with White Denim in Austin. Great playing in both contexts!

[@louiscarrillo5873]

Great playing here. But im cringing at the at this great student and future playing professional's seat posture and shoulder positioning. Back straighter and instruments a little closer. This reduces that forward throw which may not now but in time will contribute to physical adaptions that result in pain where so many players north of 35 now have to stop . I want everybody to play as long as possible. Ed Soph and Bill Stewart have consistently good posture at the drums. Always have.Thing is piano players get hand positioning and seat posture instruction from the beginning. Drummers , particularily younger ones need this information NOW. Fantastic group sounds and playing examples here. Well done :) I am a huge Bill Stewart and VIC FIRTH fan . see you at Namm 2019 :)

[@ChrisSmithJazzDrumHang]

Louis, great point. My posture has been bad for years and both Ed Soph and John Riley have pointed it out to me. It's taken a bit but now at 37 it is catching up and I am working hard to fix my posture on the kit because it is affecting every part of my life. It's important., super important.

[@louiscarrillo5873]

Tune the drums right

[@ShadowDatsas]

Hello! What are the sticks and snare head he is using? Astonishing roll sound!

[@supmet2]

Suggestion....Maybe use less forearm and more wrist and fingers. Here is a great example of Stewart wrist and fingers when playing the ride cym. Just look as the first few measures and you will see the difference. Check out.... Bill Stewart: Live at Modern Drummer 2008.

[@jonthedrummer]

Let the kid do it his own way, who cares, it’s music, and his technique is swinging...greg Errico played arm technique, seemed to work out ok for him.

[@supmet2]

MY experience after teaching hundreds of drummers over thirty some years, is that less forearm and more wrist and fingers sounds better as far as flow and sound goes.@@jonthedrummer
