Steve smith/Max Roach solo and fill ideas-syncopation excercise (part 1) instruction by mike chilton

[brutalbob1234]

I wish I could do this! Sadly im just a brute drummer who plays death metal... any tips?!?!?!

[manimpretty666]

When you say fill in the triplets do you play a double stroke with your left off of your right singles, or are you playing constant triples with your left? I'm finding it hard to tell.

[RevWrona]

Great video but what is the connection to Smith and Roach? Was this a similar style they used while soloing, or playing or etc..

[RevWrona]

Absolutely fantastic.

[mbyeates]

Great explanation, great lesson!

[hmariusb]

I really like your lessons. They're great for my level. Just what I need. Made me get back into drumming again after years at idle. Thanks!

[carlofos]

Great Lesson! And it's really good that you quoted where it comes from... there are many guys on YouTube that take ideas like this and say it's their thing...

[BitstreamDreamer]

Super cool lessons, Mick! Love 'em!! THX for sharing!!

[MickChiltone]

Yes and I am also using " The Drummer's Complete Vocabulary" as taught by Alan Dawson and the author is John Ramsay.This is a great book to work with.There are many ways to use the Ted Reed book and this book shows you how.Thanks!!

[fourlory]

Loved your lesson. Just a quick question. Isn't the Syncopation book you're using by Ted Reed?

[timfel]

Mike that's great, thank you.

What do you do when there is more than an eighth note's worth of triplets to fill in, as happens further down the page? This would mean five or even more consecutive strokes to fill in with the left hand - is that what you're doing or is there an easier way?

[MrMilosforman]

It's very very good. And precise. Great job. Are you in a band? I'd like to listen it if you are... Greetings

[MickChiltone]

Check out  part two of this lesson for more ways to use this material.

[griffincarlborg1]

Is there a double stroke between all the accents making them triplets. Or does the stroke the left hand make depend on were the right hand falls to make it a triplet?

Please let me know trying to figure this stuff out.

[gabriele086]

hello Mick please which it is the name of the book?

[peanutpeanut123]

really good, t

he list of things to practice/ideas just grows and grows

[cuthbertallgood711]

That is some of the jazziest, blackest drumming I've ever heard. Your dedication and hard work has paid off well, you are a tremendous drummer.

[longfade]

The book he's using is 1 of 3 in a series of books by Ted Reed.  Alan Dawson book is great that he makes reference to, that one is called the Drummers complete vocabulary and should be in every drummers collection of books.

SYNCOPATION FOR THE MODERN DRUMMER

by Ted Reed (©1958)

THE DRUMMER'S COMPLETE VOCABULARY (as taught by ALAN DAWSON)

[italiarovinata]

Hi, excuse my bad English.

This exercise is quite famous but it seem to me you play it in another, not common way.

I think you are not playing just triplet with your left H., I tried to slow down this clip and I counted one snare shoot only between the first two tom notes. Two questions, then:

Is what I suppose to see true?

If true, is that written in some page of Reed's book?

Otherwise, how or where did you find the inspiration?

Thank you in advance,

compliments and greetings from Italy

[drwhave]

He is FILLING up the right hand's rythm to triplets. RLR RLL RRL RLL as already said below.

[italiarovinata]

It's not exact.

Now I know I already knew this exercise but in another way.

The correct (although basic) pattern is: RLR LLRRLL RLL.

It's the seventh exercise on John Ramsey - Alan Dawson book "Four Way Coordination" with the only difference: tom-tom instead of bass drum.

It's really hard to play so fast and clean like this very good drummer, Maestro Mick Chiltone.

[Multibomber]

Christ this is hard! :( awesome esson!

[rhythm61067]

The first line is RlRllRRllRll

[stovepipe1985]

is it  rl Rll rl Rll Rll ? i can't tell, I have the book just not sure where to fill-in the triplets?

[mathyoumusic]

nice, clean left hand work....

nice

[CtrStDrumSchool]

Nice work man, thanks for the heads up!

[ironcobra8]

I'm only about 15 seconds into this video....I'm subscribing.

[blackelk]

Nice instuction and smooth playing thanks for the insiration

[MickChiltone]

Yes....great book.The author is John Ramsay.

[kurudiet]

Awesome lesson - is the Alan Dawson book you mentioned called the drummer complete vocabulary? I love that syncopated stuff and will get syncopation, but feel I'll need something to help me "fill in the gaps"

Thanks,

Kuru.
