In this online drum lesson, two-time Grammy Award-winning drummer, member of iconic jazz-fusion groups Weather Report and Steps Ahead, and ArtistWorks master instructor, Peter Erskine, teaches one of his favorite triplet patterns, which he lovingly refers to as “Elvin Triplets” in honor of the late great jazz drummer Elvin Jones. Peter provides several variations on his original bass drum, snare, and floor tom-tom “Elvin Triplet” to illustrate how subtle adjustments to a relatively straightforward pattern can create immensely different grooves, feels, and dynamic variation.

I really like that he doesn't say go practice this 20 times but instead he shows the emotion of discovery as if it was his first time playing those patterns. And that invites me to do the same. What a great teacher!

@michaelgreen5206 2 года назад

Know who you are Mr. Erskine!! In fact, met you at the Bake Potato many years ago. For people that don't known who he is, he was the drummer for Weather Report, John Scofield, Al Di Meola, Maynard Ferguson, Dianna Krall, and many other famous bands.

what a master. one of my favourite

And he taught Neil Peart for years when Neil wanted to refresh his drumming techniques. 🥁👍

@gringostarr69 Год назад

I only have one pair of your signature sticks left that I have played almost to the core, but I'm going to put them to my dying grandfathers coffin with him. He is amazing jazz-drummer talent, but today the time came for him to go to hospital to spend his last few days of this period of time here. Sorry for bumming you out. Huge respect for your playing Peter!

@rick3747 Год назад

Yes, John Bonham borrowed his triplet thing from Elvin mixed in with some goodies from Buddy and Morello.

@volpeverde6441 Год назад

bonzo liked alphonse mouzon as well....

@rick3747 11 месяцев назад

@@volpeverde6441 Yes, that is correct. I think Bonham borrowed Mouzon's funk, fusion vibe esp on Led Zep's "Physical Graffiti" and "Presence."

@robertoricci3393 11 месяцев назад

Bonham isn't the beginning and the end of drumming. He wasn't even the first rock drummer to play triplets, Ginger Baker, Mitch Mitchell and Carmine Appice used them before him. And of all of them were fans of Elvin Jones and other jazz giants.

@rick3747 11 месяцев назад

@@robertoricci3393 No, but his influence to this day is well beyond Ginger's and Mitchell's will ever be to Rock and even Jazz drummers. Heck, Ginger was basically laughed at by claiming he is a real Jazz drummer playing Rock by Buddy, Williams, Cobbham and other real Jazz drummers. So yes, John Bonham is that important for bringing swing time into the mainstream Rock drumming, triplets and of course his incredible bass drum work on a single kick.

@robertoricci3393 11 месяцев назад

@@rick3747 don't think Baker influence is inferior to Bonham. He pioneered jazz fusion with Graham Bond and created the classic rock drum solo. There's a long list of drummers influenced by him. Bozzio, Aldridge, Bruford, Copeland and even Bonham himself to name a few. He was an a-hole for sure but a revolutionary musician. Jazz musicians always bad mouthed rock drummers because jazz popularity was in decline. Very few like Max Roach were open minded and appreciated newer forms of music.

@giovannigamberini1971 11 месяцев назад

The third variation - bass drum in the middle of the triplet, hands going rfr lfl rfr lfl - , played at different speed rates (up to very fast) and "modulating", shifting instantly between different speeds, is so "Tony Williams" 😉 as the second variation - bass drum in the first place - is so "Steve Gadd". And of course the "Elvin" variation leaked into the playing of iconic rock drummers such as Ginger Baker, John Bonham and Ian Paice 💪🏻

@bobbysands6923 Год назад

You are a fantastic teacher, Peter. I saw you do a clinic at Russo Music in Trenton way back in 1983. I still practice some of the stuff you showed us, and the triplet stuff was some of it.

Neil Peart was a great rock drummers but when he got involved with the Burnin for Buddy project he sought Peter to teach him the swing. That is one hell of a compliment and respect.

@tomjones2348 11 месяцев назад

This is so inspirational. Peter has a wonderful way of articulating what he's doing. Easy to understand. Is anyone else floored by Peter's tone and technique? (For Peter fans, check out "Blue Skies" featuring Al Jarreau...it's on youtube)

@Frenky_73 Год назад

I love many wonderful drummers, of all genres, such as Vinni Colaiuta, Dennis Chambers, Dave Weckl, Gavin Harrison, Virgil Donati etc. But Mr. Erskine is a REAL LEGEND to me. I have a lot of records that he has played on. And let's not forget that he also taught Neil Peart.

I think Tony Williams plays a roll of these triplets, with the bass drum in the middle - RFRLFLRFRLFLRFRL - or similar on Proto-Cosmos, around the 01:50 mark. Want to learn it, it's daunting though.

@jamesbond4633 7 месяцев назад

A lot of people these days call them the "Bonham" triplets. Little do they know where they actually came from. Then one can ask ...where did Elvin get them from? Did he invent them or see someone else do them? Who knows. It's all awesome and we are all beggars ...borrowers and thieves in a good way!!!! People who are dismissive of what goes before them are missing out on a lot. You can take things and apply them to your playing and make them sound fresh and find some sort of variation as described in this video.

@domenicv7962 Год назад

I blow my own mind sometimes.....never had a lesson, never liked 'other' drummers, except the truly greats, first set in 1958, played all over the world. I still desire to play, but good opportunities are very rare these days at any age. Problem is....talent is rare out there.....even the so called good ones stink in my opinion. Most of the best today are hidden from sight....Give me Buddy, Gene, Speedy Jones, and the like.
