Thank you very much! I started with many Alan Dawson systems using the book Syncopation. THE DRUMMER’S COMPLETE VOCABULARY as Taught by Alan Dawson, by John Ramsay, has all the system I used initially. I then moved to Ari Hoenig's book Systems. All along you begin to figure out your own systems to assist in your development, I have hundreds now myself. In my opinion this type of practice really works! Gary Chester's New Breed books as well, pay attention to the singing, that is the most important component. I loop measures 8 times before moving on, that gives you an opportunity to work on your sound as well, then I loop a line, 4 or 8 measures, counting is important as well. I have spent years on certain systems. If you ever run into a problem, reach out I would be happy to help.
Hi Micheal,I enjoy what you’re doing but everyone doesn’t know the system from Ari, it might be good to explain what and how doing it if possible. Just a thought. Thanks
Thank you for the feedback, in the video details is a link to the first video I did on the topic which has a more detailed explanation. I have a few videos on the topic, I will create a playlist or something.
That would be good. You have to remember that people find your videos various ways and they don’t always have the time to go and check out your first videos. Great work!
