Jazz Drumming System - 5/4 Play-along Track

[metallicarocks911]

sicky drum solo.

[coldfleshcolony]

I'm really surprised the guitarplaying is that bad and uninspired. Jody Fisher is awsome in every other youtubevideo I've seen. Guess everyone can have a bad day.

[Drumric305]

This guy is good, his drumming is just so generic.

[metallicarocks911]

take five is played in 5/4 time.

[Drums5B]

Where is he placing his hi hat counts - 1 and 4?

[kattack7]

@Drums5B I think it's 2 and 5.

[Drums5B]

@kattack7 Oh, that makes more sense. Thanks :D

[whitesebi]

Didn't know Shannon Noll played drums.

[060660Aaron]

I just find this and really nice drumming- I,m going to check the web site out .

[lmspuia]

i like all kinds of JAZZ music ..........

[florush132]

the 16 people who put dont like it don't know real music

[smartlamppost]

@florush132 No, they're just REEEEEALLY sick of Take Five

[longmage4]

aint this from freedrumlessions channel?

[oSPICEo]

Hes holding the stick wrongly

[Envee211]

@oSPICEo

No, that's called open hand playing. A lot of jazz players play drums like that.

[BryanKeenanMusic]

@oSPICEo hes very much holding it right, traditional grip is another way to hold the sticks

[skaterboi3955]

@oSPICEo

are you serious? Don't comment on shit if you can't tell a drummer in traditional grip. He can probably play a hell of a lot better then you

[leftpuman]

@oSPICEo hes holding the stick rightly

[oSPICEo]

@leftpuman um im pretty sure that "rightly" isnt even a word. just proves to me how smarter i am at drumming

[slashy04]

@oSPICEo *facepalm*

[leftpuman]

@leftpuman kind sir. you said, "hes holding the stick wrongly", to which i amusingly replied, "hes holding the stick rightly", and now you are telling me that ur "pretty sure that rightly isnt even a word"......yea, um.................i will help u out a little. "rightly" definitely isnt a word, u are correct, and u have intellectually outclassed me, congratulations, i now leave u with my tail between my legs, u truly are a desert of knowledge

[Bayoki95]

@leftpuman You sir. Are epic.

[leftpuman]

@Bayoki95 and God bless you

[DexStanT]

@leftpuman

And rightly so... xD

[Antiks72]

@leftpuman You took all of that time responding to his lame troll, and couldn't even spell 'you' correctly. Jesus.

[leftpuman]

@Antiks72 i didnt try to spell "you", i tried to spell "u", and successfully did so, as it is merely one letter. why did U take all that time responding to me if one should not?

[Antiks72]

@leftpuman 'u' is not a word.

[leftpuman]

@Antiks72 i agree with u sir, "u" is not a word, u are correct

[Antiks72]

@leftpuman Then quit it you fucker.

[leftpuman]

@Antiks72 God bless u

[JAWZxz]

@leftpuman Rightly is a word though...

[BitzRitz1988]

@JAWZxz I'm assuming you have yet to reach the age of fourteen.

[JAWZxz]

@BitzRitz1988 I'm assuming you haven't had an education. Look it up, you illiterate fuck.

[BitzRitz1988]

@JAWZxz Wow, so you are under fourteen. Let me teach you something so you can go through life easier. I would assume you would've learned it by the age of twelve. There is something called sarcasm; now write me an essay on the usage of sarcasm and an apology. If you need help, please refer back to leftpuman's comment.

[Elspagnolo]

Hallo ,ich würde gerne ob ich tabs vom diesen song kriegen kann..

Hola me gustaria saber si hay tabulacion para esta cancion y me gustaria saber sie esta cancion tiene algun nombre..gracias .

I would like know how is this song..thx

[sebastiansap2003]

DO WHAT YOU LIKE by BLIND FAITH . the drum solo on the end of the studio version, is one of the best i've heard Peter "Ginger" Baker" drum god.

[sweetfly66]

this rhythm section is not tight at all .... it doesnt suck but its not very good either

[NPC919]

I was yearning for this to turn into Take Five.

[metallicarocks911]

@NPC919 wel it does have a two minute drum solo haha ;)

[clutchmaster2012]

Coming from a drummer... I really enjoyed this performance.

[1337jazzdrums]

I'm so sick of the "take 5" swing style. you guys sure know how to make 5 boring

[davuldelici]

Sorry but this sucks cause the drummer drags the tempo all the time!

[aSix0wn]

Thats so incredibly gay...

[metalmasher]

Very nice playing and that rug is simply off the chain..

[Samax13]

this is kinda the chords to take five, but the guitar is soloing

[Randimable]

What kind of cymbals are they?

[turnitback]

It's like an old gramophone record with the needle stuck on the introduction. I wonder what the tune was supposed to be when the needle came unstuck??

[NickWishesHeWasCool]

Wow, I didn't even notice this was 5/4 cause it just sounded so natural. I even read it in the title and forgot about it.

[Biiiiird]

@NickWishesHeWasCool yeah me too ! I mean i knew it was but my ear didnt hear it until i counted

[GeorgeBrooks09]

Hmmm.

Take 5.

[ianidinuse]

In a recent conversation with another guy on YouTube, we have both come to the conclusion that they are doing their own 'covers' of popular songs in the respective genres. But they do not play the main melody because they would have to play royalties otherwise, but most of the song is based on the original.

[AshDrums7]

Take 5 rip off

[vikingwizardeyes2121]

Cymbals sounds so damn good. Everything flows so well.

[Insectamongus]

what are those ride cymbals? sounds wonderful!

[abucket888]

this is such a take five ripoff

[Insectamongus]

@abucket888 but it's good

[abucket888]

@Insectamongus eh...if you like amature knockoff jazz.

[Insectamongus]

@abucket888 well, I do like alot of music

[Godsmack0Believe]

the drummer needs to calm down...

[PercussionX]

bass is easy.

[mrtitanium85]

jazz has alot to do with how well everything "flows" together. although they achieved the natural feel they didn't really make it flow. still a good job though. jazz is a very tough style to master

[MrTigeriffic]

funky jazz music or funky music makes everything cooler

[tolello]

Great Jody Fisher!

[trevorbadger]

Yea so what this is pushing the whole 5 idea...it is a little generic...but I personally disagree just because something is played in an odd time sig it has to "flow". Why does all music have to "flow". If it was meant to sound choppier and more phasey, and that was the artist's intent, than so be it. Personally, I really like it when odd time signatures stick out like a sore thumb. If they are done properly of course. If it doesn't significantly alter the way the music sounds then why play odd?

[Deluxeta]

Reminds me the song Sea breeze from MG3.

[s2ry0fdyr]

elvis presley on drums

[infernoblaze112]

When I think of 5/4, I can't think of anything else but Take Five by Brubeck :p

[tequilaal]

no offence intended here guys.....your time is too strict and this don't swing an inch......5/4 is a combination of 3/4 followed by a bar of 2/4........but the 3/4 must be played with a" lilt" followed by a lazy 2/4.....lighten up on the One.....and solo with anticiipated triplets.......hope this helps...but all in all a pretty fair effort :-)

[PositivelyBored]

@tequilaal

It does not have to be a bar 3 and 2, you can count and pays 5/4 or any time signature however you see fit and sounds good. The problem here is they are stuck in the mentality I AM PLAYING IN ODD TIME, CHECK ME OUT NEIL PEART I WIN, SO ODD and forgetting that jazz is comp and experimentation and playing beyond the 5/4 training wheels (i.e. mixed meters, metric modulation, displacement, ) Bottom line: you aren't supposed to sound odd, it should flow just as 4/4

[Peonyplays]

@PositivelyBored I didn't mean to read this at all. I fell out of my seat laughing because I picked up on the same thing; they are playing as if they are all counting, 1 2 3 4 5, 1 2 3 4 5, especially the drummer. I'm no Dave "Wack'O"(weckl) but I agree that performance should be for the song and not for the time signature and even more so when playing jazz.

[key2life48]

For the person who believes that a teacher demo should be "balls to the walls" playing. Balls to the walls will not get you a gig, nor help you keep a gig. Teacher demos should be about helping the student establish the fundamentals needed to get and keep a gig.

[MrFananani]

vi immaginereste....se questo tipo di musica venisse vista dalla maggior parte degli italiani in tv!??'...se non ci fossero san remo,x factor...e tutti questi programmi del cazzo!?!?

[luftgurra]

it totaly is a version of take five these guys play, no doubt...

[TheBassHeavy]

Take Fiveeee

[mcarino98]

take 5?

[CherubicGuardian]

5/4? Nice

[sexynojutsu123]

I jizzed.

What is this type of jazz called?

[Theseventhknight]

@sexynojutsu123 ...jazz? It's not some special type. It's a jazz four piece.

[sexynojutsu123]

@Theseventhknight yeah, i know its all just called jazz, but you know how theres this, then theres that bill evans sorta quiet sweet jazz and theres that sort of loud trumpet ensemble jazz.

There are far more types, im just tring to differentiate between them all.

[sachamun]

Well there's a few schools of jazz that have come to be called 'types' of jazz - for example 'bebop', 'cool jazz', 'hard bop' 'jazz fusion' etc, but sometimes you can't really label someone's 'sound' without actually using their name (you might say "that Bill Evans Trio sound"). I would call this video 'educational jazz' - as it's from a drum education dvd. Not great in my opinion - when a teacher is giving a demo it should just be honest, balls to the wall playing - this is a little bit safe.

[TehWinnerz]

pop jazz

[behavioranalyst2]

good musicians and all but just didnt seem to happy to be playing ya know?

[Yoroichi19]

what scale are they playin

[TheBlueStoned]

Perfect example of 5/4 timing is the song "Clear As Day Zero" by The Blue Stoned

[MrManWhore2112]

wow ive never heard sumthing in 5/4 so fliud and rolling thats really cool

[Drumboy5165]

Sounds nice, Brubeck's classic stuff! Thank you!!

tim0mansell: we are waiting for you to show us a jazz riff that's not Take Five. If it's so lame, please, dazzle us....we anxiously wait with baited breath!!

[tim0mansell]

Can some one seriously come up with a jazz riff in 5/4 that's NOT Take Five? It's fucking lame, I can't find anything that's not an exact copy of Take Five.

[colourfulwithaU]

Try Far More Blue. By Brubeck. ;3

It may be by the same guy, but its melodic structure is not similar. The rythmic structure is, but what can you do? It's 5/4.

[tim0mansell]

yea, the rythmic structure is the main thing I was complaining about lol. The bass line is the same, the melody's rythmic patterns are similar, the drums are identical... oh well

I've found that Guthrie Govans "fives" is a good 5/4 piece. While it's not jazz, it's definitely interesting. Check it out if you haven't already.

[colourfulwithaU]

The drums are identical in which songs - this one and Take Five? Or Far More Drums and Take Five?

Because yes, in Far More Drums and Take Five, the drums are practically identical. The ride pattern is, for sure.

But this guy varries his ride cymbal patterns a lot more than Joe Morello. His fills and comping are based less on the snare and more around the rest of the kit. I personally prefer Joe Morello's style.

[rillloudmother]

@tim0mansell seriously man, the changes are even similar sounding.

[DuffCowboy]

@tim0mansell mission impossible theme!!

[goshaix4]

@tim0mansell look up morning bell cover by brad meldauh

[XDrummerSteve]

@tim0mansell First thing I thought as well. It's all in the bass line. If this dude gets something fresh into this groove it works fine but it's basically the very same bass pattern.

[TheLongestMile]

@tim0mansell yeah there really are plenty

[ronjazz1]

@tim0mansell You need to expand your horizons, there are hundreds of 5/4 tunes available.

[sayalaperbandel]

gay

[SkylineBrasil]

excelent! amazing tecnique

[Oriasis]

Weather Channel music, haha.

I love this song.

This guy is a pretty good drummer!

Good day,

Neville

[jofa117]

dave brubeck much

[joegritschacher]

i saw mike's DvD moeller secrets

[pupetss]

this is cool exelent 5/4 but I would love to heard it with the tempo a litle bit Up ,however magnific ,,, you have your five amen

[15FifteenMusic]

They make 5/4 feel so natural :D

[AustinTCV]

Agreed, I Feel Like Playing Five/Four In A Progressive Or Vocal Setting Is Very Difficult.

[Atern0x]

5/4 is natural, as long as you accept it. And so is 17/16 for example.

[15FifteenMusic]

17/16 dude. I couldn't even imagine.

I was raised on Western music, so rock and reggae, just 4/4 all over the place. And I kinda regret it.

[Atern0x]

I know how you feel. I regret that I discovered such interesting music so late, just a few years ago. But once you have made a begin, all comes naturally.

A 17/16 for example is to me not about counting 16ths, but about... 'feeling' where the accents are placed. A song I wrote about one year ago had different timesignatures, one of them was 17/16, with accents on the 5th, 7th, 12th and 17th 16th-note.

Trust me, it's never too late to get used to it!

[shlempnar]

totally true.

i love jamming out 7/8 the most.

[colourfulwithaU]

So true, about the accents. When I was first introduced to odd timing, I tried counting every beat, but when I encountered stuff in 15/16, 13/16 and 11/8 that became really odd.

If anyone is hooked on counting, a great thing to do is to break it up. For example: 5/4 is not 5/4. It is 3/4 alternating with 2/4. That way you place the accent on the 1 and the 4, so it feels natural and the highest number you have to count to is three, so after a while you don't have to count anymore.

[Atern0x]

Yeah, counting is good for slow stuff an long signatures. Counting to 3 is one way, but I don't consider it to be the best. I would rather advise to count to a maximum of 6 (because 7 has 2 vowels, and that's not what we want). That is easier if you talk about stuff like 13/4 for example. Place the accents on 1, 7 and 10 and you go like; 1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 1 2 3 4.

If you wanna do that by counting 3's you might lose the count. You must count 4 times to 3 and one single note.

[Atern0x]

Plus you get no feel of the accents.

Anyway, this is just my opinion. ;)

[tim0mansell]

listen to Meshuggah, It'll break you out of it. At least it did me.

It's like the intense polymetres set me up for intense time signatures, same concept just on a bigger scale.

[javier20893]

@15FifteenMusic .... and simple !! =]

[DrummerBoyJustin]

its also has the same chord progression

[9917ep]

increivel

fantastico

[Drumminman4U]

Very classy...I enjoyed this video clip. Nice and smooth. You have a good feel on the kit. I'm not a professional player but you might get a kick out of my short vid clips on youtube. I'm under "Drummer Richard Gray" .

[lafontanaverdez]

i think he used to much cymbal

i mean

we as drummers like fills right?

but sometimes we have to sit bck and let the melody rlly show its stuff while we just keep the beat

[spoof072]

in jazz, (what i think) sometimes when us drummers lay off the cymballs, it starts to sound empty if u know what i mean? like he was playing through most of the song using his cymbal which was pretty loud, but then to lay off it would just seem to wtfish.

[lafontanaverdez]

i agree

but here the thing tht he does 2 much is just crashes the cymbals rather than a tap to keep the beat

and all the cymbals being crashed together doesnt sound very good

especially between 0:30 and 0:50

[r3belc]

guitarist is cute ^^

[xRisingForcex]

i hope you mean bassist

[dayoman7]

lol yea that old guy sure is sexy

[Mikkysixx]

I suddenly feel the urge to live in an elevator...hmmm...

This is great playing:) It makes me happy to be playing with the worlds finest musicians:)

[ryushiRj38]

whats this song called again? its an old jazz standard right? i swear i've heard it before.

[andrevth]

how come he puts his ride in that position?

[TheBeatSmith]

As Jazz drummers, we often have more than one ride....I have 4 but one doubles as a crash/ride and one is a sizzler....The two over his toms provide different tones that mix well together....

[janken919]

Thatsa nicea jazz!

[infantfinite]

that guitarist is awesome.

this is totally a remake of Take 5 though.

[ThePrez92]

definitely heard this in an elevator somewhere, ha!

[jrs89]

I believe the guitarist was conceived in an elevator.

[benny704]

lol

jazz isnt elevator music

or is it

[soaper4]

Well, elevator music IS usually smooth jazz, like this.

[jn21991]

take 5 remix

[Nightmoloko]

could I download this somewhere ?

[BTLDrummer]

Just play Take Five

[MrElationRx]

Elavator Music!

[OGNOGN]

Could you play whiter?

[turkeymonkeyck]

cool song kinda repeatitive at the end tou on guitar love the drums with all the little tiny fills um....... i couldnt hear the bass so i cant say much about that

[beasst94]

wimpy smooth jazz BS

[epasurr]

Whats your left side ride on this video (the one near your hihat), great stick definition

[rjproud]

amazing vid

[Nightmoloko]

damn , that's why I started to learn jazz on the drums.

[HamburgerTrain]

<3 5/4

[daimyodrum]

It's dead, Jim.

[Saavedralika]

damn! thats cool!

[remoman]

F bass!

[erskoman2000]

Awful!!!!!!!!!

[gregkrazanski]

wow exactly the same groove as take 5 for every instrument hahaha

[KissMeImPunk]

Elevator music?

[Mariosdog]

@KissMeImPunk LOL silly you

[LooopQ]

@KissMeImPunk weather channel music i'd say

[derossi13]

wow, this is a really tasty jam....its just realxing, to listen to it, and the drummer has some cool sideburns;)

[marieldarkspell]

Is this amalgama? I don't know if I'm feeling well the beat

[hellothereimasian]

this feels like something i listen to on 94.7 the wave when i take a shower very smooth

[jivechump]

that was beautiful!

[polock2112]

songs called take 5...dave brubeck

[samtheman233]

it has the same feel of that song.. but this is'nt take 5

[jonjonjonmw3]

@samtheman233 It might as well be.

[sogandik]

@samtheman233 yeah. its not.

[The73rdSecret]

I agree with "samtheman233".. this song sounds like but it isn't Take 5

[Drumming2thelord]

this has no feeling??? You guys are dumb, deaf and blind!

really nice vid!

[MikeMichalkow]

This tune doesn;t really have a name, it's simply just a 5/4 swing playalong that comes on a CD with the Jazz Drumming System. I think at this point any 5/4 swing tune will sound like the one and only "Take 5" which is still my favorite jazz standard to play and listen to!

[comeonanythingrandom]

what's this number called? this is Awsome!

It reminds me of "Take 5"

[thepossessor]

yeah it has the same feel

[DrummerDrule]

dude, very very smooth. i love it. these guys rock.

[petrarchian]

Sorry. And yes, I suppose that a 3rd grade spelling book doesn't have to use Shakespearean meter. I was more chastising the critics who spend there time pointing out the lack of Shakespearean meter in 3rd grade spelling books =) I suppose it's all irrelevant from this elevator to that one. (ie a tangential Einstein reference in a ignominiously analogous reply) I am definitely not defending the song's level of inspiration or musicianship.

[GakTodd]

Check out Mike's YYZ Solo on you tube... it's amazing!

[petrarchian]

Do any of you people read that this is a PLAY ALONG INSTRUCTIONAL TRACK?? WTF are you doing saying its unemotional, or a rip-off? THE best known 5/4 song is prob Take Five, and they are playing an easy Take Fiv-ish riff for practicing soloists to play to. Read before you type. Typical ignorance, but it never gets any less tiresome.

[jazzmessenger8]

Just because it's a play along, doesn't mean it has to be depleted of emotion. The Jamie Aebersold play alongs have plenty of emotion.

[longfade]

Well executed, but totally leaves me cold. There's not a shred of emotion or even conviction in any of that playing. Ugh.

[jpoynot]

lol thats SUCH a ripoff of "Take Five."

[imbasill]

to jpoynot, its a cover yeh, nothing wrong with playing around with songs made by other artists. And when we're at it, almost everyone "samples" sound, even if they dont realise it, its very unlikely to "the first" with anything.

[IAmSofaKingAwesome]

if its a jazz standard it's not really considered ripping somebody off. Lol.

[NumberNile]

God, that's a beautiful set/sound/song.

[FrederickFrigault]

is that jody fisher on jazz guitar there?

[freedrumlessons]

It sure it! He is an amazing guitarist!

[ee99ee]

nice.

[tamadw]

NICE, 5/4
