Thanks Tim you really make jazz playing more understandable. The hardest thing for me is to keep the hi-hat pattern straight always struggle. I don’t know but link not working for me for some reason :(
Sweet! While you’re at it, could you make a short video explaining how you manage to bury the beater with the bass drum tuned so high? Even though I tune mine a tad lower, try as I might, I can’t keep the beater from bouncing off the head and creating sort of an unintentional (very fast) diddle. (Along with the associated pitch bend, this creates an interesting effect, but that’s not what I’m going for.)
@@AstAMoore Busted! That's from the first 5 seconds of the video where you can see I back off the head almost right away. I would say that I'm usually not trying to bury the beater unless it's a sound I'm trying to hear. Also not to say that it might happen sometimes unintentionally as in this clip. I do bury the beater intentionally when I'm trying to mimic a Brazilian Surdo, but that comes with the flutter and pitch bending effect you were talking about.
@@TimMetz Thanks! I thought I was going crazy (not to say that I’m not). I only recently started to incorporate burying the beater in my playing, and not being able to execute it cleaning is utterly frustrating. Now I know I’m not the only one with that problem. (And yes, it’s more useful in Afro-Cuban/Latin music, but could be used effectively-albeit sparingly-in bebop and straight-ahead jazz, too.)
Tim your jazz videos are amazing, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!! Sorry to ask a gear question here… but what is that hi hat clutch you’re using? Thanks again
I want to learn jazz drums but I have considered online lessons but I learn best in person.Ive been trying to find jazz drum teachers near me and can’t find any, I’m still on the search what should I do?
