thnx! ... more or less i am just copying what my drum "heros" are doing... if you like my playing please check out - mark guiliana, zach danziger, jo jo mayer... and some other modern jazz cats: marcus gilmore, justin brown, henry cole, eric harland... greets from Slovenia
Michael Cortina hmm... try to play perfect unisonos between feet and hands...If you are use to play hi hat with foot while playing the groove on a ride cymbal be aware of the sixteen notes off beats on a bass drum or snare drum... usually people like to swing them... but Mark is playing more or less everything really mathemathical precise- straight. Like a machine would play. Listen to more electronic music- You will know what i mean. Try developing some interesting hand patterns for (hihat + snare or ride + snare). Bass drum is usually following the right hand... And least but not last make a couple of transcriptions of his solos... I hope it helps. You should also know Mark has jazz background... so digging into jazz tradition helps a lot. By, Bojan
