these videos are actually really helpful i am a saxophone player but this is good info for me so that i know and see/relate to what the drummer is doing.
Hey Nate, I've been following you since about 2015 and I have to say, I've really seen an improvement in your videos. Not only do you seem more comfortable with the camera, but I feel like your playing has more intent behind it! It sounds good man!
I interpret most these as hertas over ruffs given the defined subdivision and the space between the 3rd and 4th note, so it's interesting to hear you approach it this way. Presenting it as a 4-stroke ruff does lead nicely into the 5-stroke. Great concept, thanks!
Hertas are a 3 note group with one note every 3 doubled. (Bleed, for instance.) The marcus 2-stroke ruff could be a kind of herta, and in fact you would play bleed with marcus ruffs. But it would only fit if you used a strict subdivision, and the 3 and 4 note ruffs are not hertas.
@@8020drummer I am aware they are different which is why I felt I'd mention it as 1:39 is a 4-stroke ruff but in the practical demonstrations I am hearing hertas instead, most simply demonstrated at 2:25. Am I somehow mistaken?
@@philipcullin983 bleed is a song by meshuggah where the drummer does hertas with his feet. the whole band does hertas but it's most known for the drummer
Glad to see you broke 80,000subs. You deserve so much more. Loved the show and finally something that i tend to do naturally. Not having a theory based finger in my hands its nice ti recognize that what i do is a thing especially when marcus does it too. I'm setting my jazz kit up tomorrow to try my new bass drum out that i made. 10 out of 10 nate keep it up.
Judging from that Black Coffee Roasting Company sweater and the recurring ESP t-shirt, I'm guessing you have some roots in Missoula. Wish I could have caught you playing drums around town. Good stuff, man! I really enjoy the channel!
Nate, I just started throwing the 4 stroke ruff on the kit because of this video. Took me a few weeks to get them up to par, but dang! What great musical idea. They sound awesome. Thank you for making this video.
The terminology thing can be tricky when doing instructional vids. I try to mention all the potential names it may or may not have to try and keep it as broad as possible. Nice job on the vid!
I think Garibaldi does ruffs in one of his fills for the song Squib Cakes around the 6:30 mark? What a coincidence that I've been trying to figure out that fill the past couple of days and this video pops up 😂
Nate, thanks for the reminder on the ruff & the example using the rudement ruff's around the kit. What makes me laugh, is hearing other drummers complain about rudiments when we play many of them if not all (depending on the song) in the songs we play, anyway! I guess the jokes on us. We're playing rudiments one way or the other! Again, many thanks on your efforts in sharing these lessons!! Job well done!!!
You can actually play another variation on the 2 stroke marcus rough (if you can call it a variation) ... Making it a 3 stroke rough on one hand (can be useful sometimes) You can actually "push/pull" double up the upstroke ant fast twitch for the rimshot... However, it's very very tough to get it as fast as the examples nate gave here... It works best as ghost notes in a 16th note hip-hop groove feel... I feel like there's not a lot of people using it I would love to see Nate apply that In his playing...
30 years would be joe Henderson to Branford to chris potter to mark turner to Walter smith to Ben Wendel. Nah, I’d say sax playing has undergone a similar odyssey.
Love your content and your delivery. But, something's amiss: Please get rid of the white gaps in your acoustic foam in the background -- IT IS KILLING MY OCD! :D
Used to here this riff (ruff) on some of my older up tempo jazz LPs. If memory serves me correctly...one tune is by Cannonball Adderley Fun...off his Live at the Club. Please note I'm a bass player so I may be wrong. Enjoy and thanks again. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bRv9T06Gk74.html
have you changed grip from years of an other grip? i mean i often see you slice with your left hand. I'v changed grip from american to french after about 10 years with american. I still struggles with slice with my left hand and i have been playing french for 3 years :P But its not my highest priority when practicing
?? A drag is 2 bounced notes on one hand and a third single note ( opposite hand). often accented but not necessarily- a ruff is 4 single strokes,,, last stroke most often accented but not necessarily--..
