despite the crappy quality of the video, it shows more than enough info to learn this technique. all it takes is some quality time on relaxed practicing
Good grief...I work on my right foot isolated all the time, but this is next-level. I get thrilled when I can single-foot straight 16th notes at 110 bpm without using my left pedal. Controlling the groupings of notes to stop and start them within a groove? Wow...
@@legacyShredder1 I wish I could say that I achieved any level of right-footed competence close to this, but I really struggle with the foot-ankle motion that JoJo uses. After almost 40 years of playing heel-up, it’s tough to make a confident stroke change, so I’ve focused a lot more on smoothing out my toe slide + ankle swivel motion at higher speeds. I’ve always got the left pedal to bail me out, of course, haha! Interestingly, I do use his foot technique to control my hi hat, and have been doing so for years. I guess my feet are screwy.
Frank Zappa used to stick the still-burning ciggie underneath the strings of his guitar behind the nut while he was on stage, and he wasn't the only one who did that. There's also a nice big cigarette burn on Ringo's original Ludwig snare. Apparently that famous wrapping was pretty flammable so he was lucky not to lose the whole kit.
I get what you mean. I think maybe, and feel free to disagree :P but maybe. I think as they got older, they became more technical, and to me sometimes more stale?
+gh0stn0tez WTF are you talking about? You have no ears? Jojo now is a monster - while back those days he was only potentially a good drummer not even great.
+gh0stn0tez jojo never loses the materials he had when he was young jojo now is just perfectly aware of when to perform them when to be complicated, when to be simple,etc and his playing is more about details now, in my opinion
he still plays the things he did when he was younger. He is MUCH better now than then in my opinion and much better at explaining new or innovative concepts at drum clinics
