Gabe, Been a fan for quite sometime, your videos have helped my drumming, self awareness and control become more productive. I do have a question that I see a lot of RU-vidrs talk about but don’t really explain well let alone include the process. Running a portable in ear monitor system and plugging in into a house system.

@gabrielfrench8382 3 года назад

Honestly, I've just been noticing small details in my playing that are making me sound a bit less professional than I could be, such as hi-hat dynamics like you mentioned or what to play when there isn't a part written for a specific element of a song. This Sunday, I'm finally back to playing live, but it's going to be a bit odd playing with a mask on--definitely something I'm going to have to practice. I feel pretty confident with how my playing has gone, I just hope that since I've been away from playing live for so long that it doesn't suffer on-stage...

I've been playing live and local for 20 years. One important thing I've learned is don't take it for granted. I've admittedly been burnt out at times but after sitting on my ass for 3 months because of covid, I have a greater appreciation for how lucky we are to have drumming, and live music in general. Great channel. Great video.

I had one of my best years booked and shaping up when Covid hit. I got a gig this weekend finally. My first since the cancellations. I have been really missing it. Playing at home by yourself is nothing like drumming in a band especially at a gig. So I definitely feel you.

@superjanembaishappy5512 4 года назад

The thing is it's not about the drum part sounding good. It's about how it fits in the song. I'll admit the complex part was super cool on its own but you can't hear the keyboard and that's where the focus should be.

I've always needed to come back more to certain foundations in my focus, and wasn't until more recently that the focus has birthed this intention in action...

Thank you for these helpful pointers, Gabe

@metallicarocks911 4 года назад

In terms with mistake number one, you are so right. If you ever have listened to 'Sound of Muzak' by Porcupine Tree... The groove is in 7, but it has the right amount of pocket, an even pulse, and a laid back feel... Perfect example of how a drum part SHOULD be.

A technique used in the 1st example of "playing to the music" was an awesome ditty with a hoop tap fill. If anyone knows the name of the hihat and snare ghost note pattern, please let me know by replying or reaching out. I'll keep trying to work it out. Thanks in advance

@pipmeister2103 4 года назад

See this way to often. I play in a 50’s/60’s cover band so pretty straight forward with a lot of swing, shuffles & eights. There are drum fills but not to complex. I always play for the song & push & pull of the song played

@DrumBeatsOnline 4 года назад

@adamblevins1435 3 года назад

You had me at #1! I think the tendency to overplay comes from the idea that when you're getting paid to play, some drummers feel that they need to constantly throw in their flashiest stuff to prove that they're 'worth it'. The way I view it is that they aren't paying for my licks, but for my experience and musicianship. Anybody can woodshed a few fancy licks, but it takes years of experience to know what's appropriate to play in any given situation.

@noampitlik2332 4 года назад

In the first part, with the to examples, we need to have more context to go by. Both have a place.

@minhuang8848 4 года назад

Yeah, that sounded like a nice Dillinger Escape Plan break later in a song or something, it just is very context sensitive.

@Big_C_4205 4 года назад

Yeah, when I try to make something too complex, it almost never works out well lol.

@OutLaw1993GT 4 года назад

Love all your vids man and you are a remarkable drummer and you seem like a cool cat, do you offer lessons on limb independence and syncopation? I’m a beginning drummer, I used to play when I was a teenager, and I bought an electronic drum kit 2 months ago and I feel like I need structured practice. If you don’t offer any online lessons can you point me in the right direction Id appreciate your input. Keep making great vids!!!!

@richeichelberg2179 4 года назад

Great vid Gabe! I need to work on my stage presence more. I tend to get caught up in concentrating on the song we're playing and sometimes need to remind myself to relax and enjoy the moment and convey that to the crowd watching us.

@dumpster_mcgee_96 19 дней назад

I sometimes intentionally drop a stick while I’m practicing just to make sure that I’m ready for it when it really happens.

@dilboom9707 3 года назад

If I can play a worship song EXACTLY how the drum track is.. example graves into gardens.. but sometimes other worship songs have more drum input.. should I still play it or back off a bit .. (for church worship set)

#7 - Imagine Dragons really brings the drums to life in concert. To me, they’re a band to watch to learn some good stagecraft from the lighting and fog to the band members pretty much all very well in sync and then just letting the music take control of the show and everything else is just icing and maybe a few sprinkles.

@joetroutt7425 4 года назад

I've been in bands where the guitarist/singer wants to control the feel of the set list and totally abandoning it if he feels the crowd want more rocking and the next song is a slow song so that throws me off bc they start the song and not me and I have to try really hard (due to lack of monitor or shitty sound guy) to hear the guitar so I can come in on time. Oh God the house cards when happens.

@SanitysVoid 3 года назад

Is there a bass version of this video?

@RorRiiZzLE 4 года назад

So where would Neil Pearl and Rush fit into this? Or other bands that seem to almost feature the drummer? Also when focusing not just on dynamics as a whole, but room dynamics, does it matter if you’re practicing or jamming out to a live version of some favorite songs or pretend like you’re on stage, therefore the dynamics potentially sounding wrong for the certain room, but maybe not for what you’re practicing. Is that okay or should I try to stick to the dynamics that fit the room, mainly because I don’t currently have aspirations to be in a big band, so I don’t go out gigging n stuff, so I mostly learn and jam in a semi-sound treated room in our house. Btw, Dennis Chambers could nail that one handed, double bass fill whilst eating an ice cream cone 🍦 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NKv5-rOIY_0.html

@MateuszKoscielny 4 года назад

Very important thing even before joining a band, is to listen to their songs/ideas and then decide if we feel this well. If you listen to a song, and as a drummer you immediately start having ideas of how your drum part will look like, it's a good sign. You have to feel the band and their music before you join it ;) after that, you can watch this amazing video to avoid mistakes in a band :)

@DrumBeatsOnline 4 года назад

@sseltrek1a2b 4 года назад

great tips from a solid player...there are very few musicians i respect more than solid drummers- they're the glue that makes everything else possible...

@lokinslawomir0793 Год назад

There definitely is still subjective taste when feeling what fits best with a groove, which is a problem that can still come up and can be frustrating. That’s where finding compromises with your band mates is hugely important. And not dying on a hill insisting on what you want every time. It’s a lot like marriage lol 😂 having all the pieces of a song needed to write to it is important too so you’re not missing nuances only writing your drum parts to the guitar/bass/vocals, but rather write to it all together as a whole the outcome will always be better.

@Jester_jester415 4 года назад
