Thank you! The drums in this video are constructed of a relatively thin maple shell. I have double ply clear heads on the toms and I've put cast rims on the snare as I find that thin of a shell on the snare drum leaves a little to be desired without a bit of weight on the rims.
Thank you for another great video on building a groove and a fill from a simple looking pattern! As a lesson idea, would you also consider making videos on progressively simplifying an already complete beat into simpler and simpler versions of it?
Awesome content per usual. Wanted to throw something out there related to my approach to learning grooves and patterns to see what your thoughts are. I've never been one to be regimented enough to sit down and learn a groove like this. It's easier for me to learn something simply by listening and take out the pattern altogether. Learn it slowed at first and then build up speed. Am I just a moron or is this an "okay" approach?
This approach is just is just fine. Any way that gets the information into the grey matter so that a beat, fill groove etc... can be accurately reproduced works.
