Damn, forget practicing, you made getting up early sound fun. I want to wake up at 4:30 am and get really excited about an idea I have had. Harrrr-ye-gah Mike. Thanks. :)
Oh my!! 😍 how awesome is this. And i 100% agree, the fact that after 20 years on tube you are still buzzing with excitement when an idea for something new to teach comes to mind is just awesome! Love it mate 👊
Yes and no. For me, it’s a sound that originated from a 5-strike roll. These are small licks that I can swap the traditional 5-stroke roll out for. I hope that helps your friend :)
Thanks Mike great lesson. Great tip about counting buzz rolls ... I'd love to see a lesson from you on counting buzz rolls in different time signatures.
Great video Mike! So is it a 5 that is played on the background track right after your clap at the end? Sounded like 3 HH 2 Kick But maybe I'm crazy 😅 Anyways - killing it as always my friend!
Hi Mike, big fan! Your channel helped me grow a lot as a drummer. I wanna share a little problem I have with my drumming and in specific soloing: I feel like I have collected a nice vocabulary over the years and I can flow endlessly in triplets and 16th. That said, I'm still not stasfied with my solos as they don't make a lot of musical sense. I would greatly appreciate if you made vidoes about how to make solos that are musical. Thanks!
Cool Mike! Thanks... I do random combos of these 3 different sticking variations all over the toms+snare which create some wild permutations, while keeping a 4 on the floor pulse underneath. I found it good for improving leading with my weaker left hand and flows nicely in and out of a paradiddle diddle for added complexity. RRLLR + LLRRL RLRRL + LRLLR RLRLR + LRLRL
MIKE. Long time....Good stuff...I've been playing for 60 years, and teaching for 40....I love this stuff!!!!!!.....Between Ed Shaughnessy and Jim Chapin I've been a lucky drummer.....
This is cool. I started doing this in the early 90s instead of doing the 5 stroke on the snare, I got lazy and did it between the hi hat and snare. Thanks for bringing this up!
hey mike thanx so very much! im a drummer and totally appreciate the rudiment breakdown. speaking of which.. whats the cymbal breakdown size n models for this video? love them tones. thanx again
Hey Mike. I was wondering if your Groove freedom book is still available. I used to have the app, and I loved it. That book is one of the best books I have used while practicing.
We call those Variation #1 Roll Figures at 2:37 "Jelly Rolls" in the marching percussion world. They're SO MUCH fun to play and listen for in a groove. BRAVO! 💪😎
My favorite, musical drummer. A lot of your teaching reminds me of when I used to learn from my teacher; Awesome methods, educational, with efficient technique.
After nearly 20 years of watching your content, knowing you are waking up at 4 am to make new content means your passion has only grown larger, I love that Also spice level at 4:20 was propppperrr. My Face stanked.
