I'm sorry sir, please don't be offended. Are you brothers with Joe Pesci? 😣😰If it's true, I will practice all my strength to practice this shuffle🥁💪 because I'm afraid you'll bury me alive in the cornfield if I fail to do the shuffle😱
Hey my fellow drummer.. I really appreciated this video and it was my first time checking out your channel. I'm so glad I did. You are a very good teacher! Thanks for what you do!!!
Thank you Marco, one of the best teachings I have seen on RU-vid. Why? You break it down to the point until every step is clear and easily understood and then you build it up again. Extremely helpful to avoid mistakes when you learn without a teacher at your side.
Hi. Thanks for watching! It's a Yamaha Copper snare with nouveau lugs. Bought it in the mid 90's. Don't think they make that one any more. The throw off recently busted so I had a drum repair guy replace it and it sounds better than ever now. Cheers!
Hello Marco-hey thanks for reminding me about this great book I never got it. This would be the perfect complement to Funky primer book, which gives my students the necessary technique to play the ghost notes patterns in the cookbook. You did a great demonstration of how to play ghost notes very clean. Great job!
Hello Marco, that's so good! Amazing content. Motivates me to get (i feel like a train wreck lately) back on track. Thank you so much! Wishing you all the best!
It's tough to position the beater to strike the head exactly in the centre. With each size kick drum, the beater will be striking the head at different locations. But you are correct. The closer to the centre, the better.
How can the discrepancy of tension/position between the slave pedal and main pedal in a double pedal be overcome? Mine always has a slight offset compared to the main pedal and no adjustment seems to balance them out where the tension and travel distance are equal across pedals. It seems the problem comes from the bend in the drive shaft but there doesn't seem to be a way around it.
Uhh I started drumming in 1963. Six months later the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan. My first pedal was a Rogers Swervomatic. The best pedal I ever played! I could get trips out it!! I bought it in 1965! In the ninties some load suck stole it from a lounge in Vegas but left a high end pearl pedal in it,s place. So whoever it was wasn't really an asshole just a considerate load suck!!!
A couple months ago I bought my very first drum set. A Tama imperialstar. I think it's an awesome kit for a beginner. The drums are great but in order to keep it affordable they cheap out on the cymbals, throne and kick pedal. So far I've replaced the heads with Remo emperor's. I also decided to bite the bullet and buy a Tama speed cobra 910. I know it's way too much pedal for my skill set now but hopefully this pedal will last me for many many years to come. The pedal it came with isn't terrible but it's not great either. The hinge by the footboard has a lot of play in it and it's noisy. It didn't do very well on the test either. At about 75% tension it wobbled around 15 times.
It's ok. Just play fills that you are comfortable with. They don't have to be fancy. The main thing this video teaches is how to transition in and out of fills without any stumbling blocks. Thanks for chiming in! Cheers!
Great teaching - I love the technique -I wish you could play an example of all three variations so I can understand how they all three fit together over a few bars
It's challenging trying to fit a lot of content in a 1 video. I try to keep my videos under 10 min. Give the basic idea of the content delivered. But i appreciate your desire for more examples, I really do! Thank You!
Good description of the sticking pattern of this basic jazz groove. Somebody should reprint the book with modern notation because these old hand written notations are small, quirky and hard to read.
I have a copy of this book but I have no idea how to use it, read it, the stickings, etc. This video was somewhat illuminating but I’m still kinda lost.
