holy moly...glad I (finally) happened along. play'n jazz pattern on the ride while banging out the snare pattern with the bass drum (what!) great stuff. now to get busy
So, I’m not sure if I’m interpreting this right, but… My motivation for drums (recently) came from listening to prog rock and learning about polyrhythms. Am I correct in thinking that, in order to achieve the poly you are using syncopation? My definition of poly is currently “two limbs playing different beats”, that may be a little underwhelming I feel but my best guess so far.
Hey sorry for the super late reply!!! I think that your definition of a poly is incorrect, it is not two limbs playing different beats in this sense.....it is two opposing rhythms being played at once, so you could have somebody (or 1 limb playing in 3) and somebody else (or another limb) playing in 2. Playing the jazz ride pattern with which is triplet based while playing other triplet based things under it is not a polyrhythm. Hope this helps?
Thanks a lot for this great intro to page 37. One question, ¿How do we aproach the previous pages from the method? I'm kind of lost with those. Thanks again.
One of the most underrated drum videos on RU-vid.. I watched this about a year ago and it completely changed the way I drum for the better and built my foundation for jazz/swing. Thank you, sir 🤝
@@robbryan7693 the principal in the Seattle symphony had a Gladstone...work of art...I got to fool around with it...but $97.000 ? Beat up? How much are Hinger snare drums going for? You can get 4 Hinger tympani for that kind of dough
@@johnguilfoil7218 I agree!!!! I play a George way snare drum that sounds better than 99% of the snare drums out there and I think I paid $500 for it 😂
