yeah, i always thought his drums sounded difficult to play. like the way he has them tuned, you really have to be precise with your note placement cause you can hear every mistake.

I believe that Danny Richmond, Charles Mingus’ s lifelong drummer, began his musical career by playing trumpet

i know! That's the sound of right reverence haha

+Rob Brown Thanks Rob 👊🏼

Just wondering man, I always heard that Jaco himself recorded the drums on Teen Town?

​​​@@pjoconnell8268 Jaco recorded the gong drum overdub part (open sounding bass drum played with mallets). Possibly the snare overdub also. Peter is playing the hihat/quiet rim shot basic rhythm, I think.

Alex Acuna plays drums on Heavy Weather along with Jaco on Teen Town

It also helps if you practice accenting the second note of the double stroke. It eliminates the possibility to use the rebound completely and forces you to really play the notes with your fingers and wrists! I found it super helpful.

I forgot about accenting that note, good point my friend!

Definitely. Years, or decades, ago I practiced my double-stroke rolls on a pillow. A big fat floppy pillow. If you can play 5-stroke rolls, 9-stroke rolls, or one long double-stroke (open) roll on a pillow, then playing a roll on a loose drumhead should be no problem. That was a good way for me to learn how to let my fingers do the work. It made my hands that much stronger and it paid off a few years later when I was playing in a college percussion ensemble and I had to play an open roll on a concert bass drum using two soft bass drum mallets. Whew!

I forgot about the classic pillow method! ;) Man did my muscles burn through that haha.

The more you'll learn and the longer you'll play you'll realise how much this is actually over your head
