To concluded you will never play second line until you connect and are able to convey the spirits. And That goes for drumming in general.

[DrummerEtc]

@primitika music to NOLA,and alot of the people that traditionally played it and innovated the style were somewhat untrained in drumming. But the same is true for the pioneers of the samba, and reggae, etc. You can even check out pictures in Herlin Riley's book which show several drummers holding sticks incorrectly. Again, this isn't a negative connotation, just a fact. I by no means meant all NOLA drummers were unschooled, but alot of the innovators of this parade style were.

[DrummerEtc]

@primitika I'm no expert in this area, I can probably learn a ton from you, you sound like you know your stuff! Thanks for pointing that out and making me clarify what I said.

[primitika]

Your second line sound pretty good. I must say though I take offence when you insinuate New Orleans drummers are sloppy, unschooled, not studied and have no technique. Popular music , jazz and many types of western music owe gratitude to New Orleans drummers; from Baby Dodds Herlin Reily and countless others for its connection to the soul, innovation in musical interpitation and its connection to African rhythms.

[DrummerEtc]

@primitika Sorry, I could have worded that a bit clearer. You're absolutely correct on Baby Dodds and Herlin Riley...as well as Johnny Vidakovich, Earl Palmer, Russell Batiste, Zigaboo...the list could go on. What I was referencing were the parade bands, the types that originated around the Treme area in NOLA,which gave birth to Excelsior,Olympia, etc...and some of the ones you still see today playing the streets.Alot of these bands have drummers that are unschooled, and that's not a bad thing

[DrummerEtc]

@primitika I made it seem that way.Sorry for that.Fact of the matter,second line is a street beat and some of the best and most authentic players that you'll see are the unschooled ones.I have MAD respect for Herlin Riley (own one of his books).And you're correct, NOLA was the birthplace of what is now jazz.I mean, come on, Baby Dodds is credited with coming up with the modern jazz ride pattern! My point, and you're right, I should have made it clearer, was that second line is an indigenous

[DrummerEtc]

@simanpieman Glad ya dig it! I'll see what I can do on the transcription side of things.

Is there some kind of specific way to put that isolation foam on your wall?

[DrummerEtc]

@HolyDeth I'm sure there is, but I didn't know of any at the time...I think I used Gorilla Glue? You just have to watch it, some of the glues will eat through the iso foam.

[HolyDeth]

@DrummerEtc is the foam expensive? And does it really reduce noise much?

[DrummerEtc]

@HolyDeth Check your inbox...I wanted to send you a few links with the comment but due to YouTubes aggressive crackdown on spamming, they won't let you post any links within the comments section.
