Steve Gadd "Flutter Lick" Drum Lesson by Jordan West | Reverb Learn To Play 

YT algorithm doesn't do her justice. She consistently picks the coolest grooves and does a great job explaining them.

To me what sets a truly good drummer apart from the rest is that I can just sit and listen to a good drummer play by them self and really enjoy it. She's a good drummer. I have some isolated John Bonham Led Zeppelin tracks that I love listening to every so often.

Yayyyyy!!!!!! Excellent tutoring here. I am a drummer who has worked with many people, and also a drumming instructor. You did a superb job breaking this down and explaining it. Bravo to you.

Oh My Gadd

She's a great teacher, and player. Thank you.

Great lesson, the simplified explanation is that he's displacing the beat on the high hat forward...and syncopation it in double time using paradiddles The back beat anchors the basic figure the slower one. These kind of grooves are going to expose your left hand but it's really that right hand that creates the flutter which are the displaced paradiddles. Steve's new book Gaddiments is heavy on the displacement concepts! If you don't get it just keep at it and try and simplify.... Most of the action is in the hands with the back beat anchor and the funky foot.

It's an awesome lick and the lick itself is well explained. Like most videos on the subject, very little time is spent on how to integrate the lick into the overall groove and that's really what matters most.

Hey Jordan. Peter here from Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. Thanks for this breakdown of Steve Gadd's "Flutter Lick." I have been practising this but not in the right context. Thanks for showing us how to place it on the kit. This has helped me lot. Rock On. Oh yes. Steve Gadd is my favorite too next to Thomas Lang

Just got it. Very good lesson, congrats. Never enough to diffuse the Gadd groove..... Thanks

that was sweet and very tasteful,it makes a fairly simple drum phrase suddenly amazing

All your vids are straight to the point thank you I learned alot

Good instructions and support for how to use paradiddles. I did not understand WHY my drumteacher gave me all those paradiddle sheets. He simply stated "do it!". Just one example needed to show how cool they can be.

Excellent lesson, thanks.

Amazing!! Another awesome lesson

She's a badass. Lol. She's like the whole thing real slow and her real slow is still fast and only once then speeds up and shows how beast she is making me feel inadequate in everyway cus it's even hard to comprehend trying ti count to it or worry about which hand goes first. I can play it finally but not as fast obviously and not clean what so ever but working day end and day out cus something about this groove I love so much. It's one that kinda seems like u can add and manipulate into many variations and situations where the options of creativity are endless. I love shit ljke that. The options are only limited by a person's creativity. Something that seems like you can never get tired of it. But all in all your very helpful and explain it very well and easy to listen to. Thabk you for sharing this. Out of so many different grooves this is by far 1 of the coolest and favorite I wish my doubles on my right hand or hit hat were stronger and consistent. I got nerve damage in wrist which makes it kinda move however it wants no matter how hard I try it's just livinf it's own life

Cool explanation ~ Thanks Jordon West

1:08 "He drinks a whiskey drink\He drinks a vodka drink ..."

Love the swishy groove

Wow, this beat is so often playing in my head

Thanks and Blessings!!!

Well done!

Amazing groove, Best wishes

Omfg-She’s RIDICULOUSLY talented!! Speechless

This is great!

Steve Gadd is the man. Probably one of the few great things to come out of Rochester, NY sadly

Awesome.

Thank you! I've been wanting to learn this but wasn't sure what it was called.

That is a pretty sweet kit

Sweet !

Gadd zooks she has it nailed

some of that reminded me of some of the lessons i watched from Levon Helm (rip)

good one!

Establish a groove with a back beat. Displace a funky groove with paradiddles or paradiddle para spread out over the drum set , then displace the beat again to return to the back beat. That's what Gadd is doing and Jordan in the beautifully played intro. The lesson is a little confusing and drove me crazy because Jordan's breakdown of your her phrase leaves out two important notes. KLLrrKL KLLrrLLKR K is the pattern that Jordan is playing. But she show the first part of the phrase as KLLrr leaving off the KL. L left hand snare r is right hand hihat R is right hand snar K is bass drum Steve's book Gaddiments page 3 exercise 1 will teach you to displace or move over the beat

Thank you, how would you count it? I know it is a feel thing but it Would be great to see it written out.

Cool. So, it's just dbl stroke 16ths as triplets starting with the left hand. I'll be trying it out.

Muito bacana!

Can someone tell me what the sticking pattern is for this whole groove

I love the content of all of these videos on reverb but it would be really helpful to be able to see the notations, just to get it down.

KLLR RLLK RLLR RLLK For my drummer friends, if you having trouble with this check out Jeff Wall's lesson... I spent several days trying to figure out what Jordan was doing and not explaining very well....

What's her band's name? I need to hear more!

hello . I would like to ask ,what is or are the kick mics and what is the perpose of the sm57 over the kick pointing at the snare. thank you.

Much better than Paul Gadd ....

There must be Fifty Ways to be a Drummer

Oh! I really don't like to see a drummer raising his/her right shoulder and tightening the shoulder/clavicule muscles. And the position of her right hand limits the range of the wrist movement. And no, I am not an envious drummer. Also, generally speaking, she does not use her body to play. And whether you play the harp or the harmonica, there has to be a body involved underneath. One way to experiment and develop this is by sitting lower than she does. Enough said. And I apologize for being critical but when a person has talent, she deserves to be corrected or reminded of basic physiological principles.

Blah, that was a very stiff example

this was started and perfected decades ago by Mr.Rich and then Bonham. Nothing new here. Yawn....

Thanks and Blessings!!!
