  • This cat has great time. I love how he feathers the bass drum.

  • Such good trolls. I hope people realize they're trolling everyone.

  • Dude you need to clean your house

  • This is a disgrace to Jazz. I HATE U.

  • Thats the best kit I've seen on expertvillage XD

  • That`s to cool to be true... I`m a god at drumming. Or even more than that.

    Or the damn standard for being an "expert" is pretty low...

    I`m not sure. But the lesson was not that useless. At least I know the way I should not play this shit. Thank you expert village, for giving retarded individuals a chance to proove what they really are...

  • You shouldn't play the bass drum so loud, the four on the floor principle means that you play the kick so light that it is hardly audible. It is used just to fill up some space and to compliment the bass player.

  • @goreri Or at least.. tune your bass drum and for god sakes don't put a fucking pillow inside. lol. :(

  • Terrible. This guy seems sincere. He needs a good teacher.

    Very poor. Very mechanical ride pattern with no triplet feel and, consequently, no swinging groove. Plodding, thudding bass drum that is too heavy.

    This expert village seems like a total waste of time. If they think this is some kind of expertise, they're wrong.

    Listen to Jeff Hamilton and Harold Jones. Listen to Count Basie.

  • god this sucks beyond belief .... his ride cymbal pattern feels awful ... and his bass drum is like so fucking annoying and heavy sounding .... but this is expert village and if we know anything about them by now it is this ... they are not experts at ANYTHING

  • omg please don't listen to this garbage

  • this is ''redicullus'' sorry i;m dutch

  • Why is he trying to teach it when he clearly has no grasp of it himself. This isn't swinging.

  • what's worse....

    people who keep saying expertvillage sucks...

    or people who think they know everything and say expertvillage sucks

  • you're the worst

  • you're an idiot

  • do you guys even read the title.... it's

    "HOW TO PLAY 4 on the FLOOR ... BASIC JAZZ BEAT"

    before one becomes something like "OMFG good jazzy fizzle" whatever... you have to learn the basics.

    @chno06... barok mo tol.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • haha:D

  • "a fool of shit" tanga. napakatanga

  • ok....

  • I have learned from these videos that I should make some how-to drum videos.

  • ii Like yOuu Better than the Other Drum teacher Dudes :P

  • ty lol ice

  • bass drum is to loud ad i cant here the high hat upsets me....>.> not what i was tought

  • tnx man i get it now

  • Is he serious?

  • oh my.....

  • very white ..

  • Guys dont hate, if you know it or think it sounds shit go somewhere else, i know alot about drums and this is to help out all the kids starting out, just leave it guys

  • i agree tbf it shows how people shoot there mouths off about something they know very little about.. just because the beats simple means hes crap.. yeah right you cant do anything amazing with out a simple beat and i assume the people who want to start learning drums need to know this

  • yeah

    lighten your foot up a bit

    and let the beater bounce back

    instead of pressing it to the bass drum

    let it bounce off which lets you take advantage of rebounds

    and makes it sound a bit better

  • you fucking suck you fat shit. you dont know shit about jazz or drumming at all. dont bother taking lessons because a shithead like you will never, ever be able to play real swing. instead, break your sticks in half and shove them in your eye sockets you arrogant prick.

  • Wow.Does he owe you money?He owes me 2 minutes 34 that I'll never get back.

  • HAHAHA, I must confess that I loved the words

  • PUtting links to the different sections of this video, or links in the description, would be handy.

  • man this is a rly rly good jazz beat tried it its amazin

  • Rank amateurs probably shouldn't attempt to give lessons.

  • ka mucha mielda abla!!! ACABA Y ENSEÑAME!!!!!

  • to every one at expert village you guys are freakin jokes. who the frick would ever use the bass drum for a jazz pattern. u use it to accent the band. what the frick

  • Thank you!

    Altough I'm not playing jazz (more like ska, or rock), I find your lessons interesting and informative.

  • who the hell is this joker?

  • well... My best explanation for that question is that all of these musicians live in expert village together and don't know what its like in the "outside world"... and its not just limited to musicians... Every Other Thing You Can Think Of Too... Don't unlock the door! haha

  • best answer ever. you win two internets!

  • Man if you're going to do an instructional video and want to be taken seriously, do your laundry first and get it out of the shot

  • oh man, nice but your bass drum is to loud!!!!

    it has to be less than 1cm away from the head you shouldn`t hear almost, but you have to hear that feel in the whole setup, what ever.

  • you're using too much kick

  • any less and it wouldn't be 4 on the floor now, would it?

  • touche =D

  • this is swing not jazz

  • swing is jazz type "swing jazz" into google if you don't believe me.

  • no... I'm fully aware of that but swing, jazz, and swing jazz are three different things. and my point was this is just more of a swing rythm than a jazz rythm... thats all I meant to say... and I dont like how this is the most overused swing rythm in the world... He should have shown something more intricate.

  • yeah but this is just expert village its not like he's philly joe jones or jimmy cobb (the drummers for john coltrane)

  • Elvin Jones, Omar Hakim were the drummer's for John Coltrane...Not the two you mentioned.

  • Did you say Omar Hakim played for Coltrane?????!!!!!! He would have been 8 when coltrane died. I think you mean Rashied Ali. And Philly Joe and Jimmy Cobb both played in COltrane's band before Elvin.

  • Rashied!!! You're right. He played on the live at the FILMORE album.

  • hi from mexico.

    Really im a guitarrist but i like too the drumms.

    Thanks man.

  • this guy is the man
