This is a very good lesson! I've done tons of foot/hand combos but never this one. I can't wait to get on my drumset and try this!!!! Thanks so much for posting!
I know I posted last week, but watching you teach this stuff, amazing. I am almost in disbelief at the quality of the skill and great teaching techniques. Keep the video's coming, very very inspiring. You take the mystery out of what sounds impossible to do. What you choose to show should be made into an instructional DVD. You make one I'll buy it, many thanks for sharing!!
That's cool man, you should try playing to the song if you want to really co-ordinate yourself. Check some of my vids you won't believe it. Can you follow the bouncing ball. lol!!!
Hey- I wish I knew an exact technique. I used to joke around and say that I tuned my drums by leaving them in my car after a gig. You have to consider the room that I am in in this video....what you are not seeing is that the door is open and outside the door is a huge hall covered in tiles, making the drum echo/crack like crazy. I will say, get a drum that weighs alot. Don;t go for a piccalo if ou want crack. Piccalos cut but they dont have any bottom end.
So, look for a heavy drum....I prefer metal, though I have seen one drum with wooden hoops that has some killer cut. The drum should be deep. A nice, tight head, but nothing too cranked, and a nice room and there you go. Have you tried your drum in different locations? You might be suprised. I have my snare in a place right now that kills all the good qualities you are asking me about.Long story short....heavy drum, deep, metal, tight head, good room. Good luck. You will find the right sound!
ya what he said, get a 14" snare somewhere from 6 to 8 inches deep (i want an 8" deep snare). Deep snares can get a really good "crack" sound. Tune both of the heads fairly high, make sure to tune the bottom head higher, if you want a good crack sound. If the drum sounds tune the heads lower. Just experiment. Try that on your snare you have now even.
hey man Around 3:22. This is the first time iv ever seen someone come up with a solution to stop me from hitting the piss out of my own hands while doing snare hihat licks. thank you very much!
Yeah that is a sneaky little move that should be more popular than it currently is. I stole that from a straight up inner city gospel drummer. He had little technique, but great feel. I don't know if he knew how practical the way he was doing it was, but either way, I stole it. Man I haven't seen this video in a long time. Tine sure does fly.
if u take a look at a vid by aaron spears, he uses that technique as well, its a vid by him just called drum n bass from his dvd search for it ull see, its jsut him jammin on the street
Dude that's turbo progressive haha !! yeah!! I loled a lot when you said : u cannot notate it iunno XD haha your wrists are moving with a smooth & tecnical way, you rock dude great one
koolness :D thanx 4 tha vid... u did do it fast but i feel wat ur sayin when u talked about findin ur own style n groove so ima just work on it n c where it fits ;) gracioso !
you can play it as a 5let which means you play 5 strokes in 1 beat
kind of like a triplet
or if you want something easyer and that goes smoother with something like gospel, you can play it as 16th notes and assuming you accent every stroke with your right hand it would look like
Why? There's nothing wrong with showing a work in progress. He's just handing out an idea for everyone to use, not saying "look how awesome I play this"
Quintuplet - and not it's not. A quintuplet is a group of five lasting a certain number of beats exactly - usually one or two. He's playing fives over sixteenth notes (which means each grouping lasts one and a quater beats) so its just called a group of five x
wow he's right you just have to feel that fill to place it. It's alternations are similair to a paradiddle but it's only five beats. And could be the start of some the more uncommonly known rudiments but any way that's an awesome fill.
this gu plays in my band- he is so bad!!!he is always drunk and anytime a girl gets near the stage he screams at them- he also loves always steals peoples snare drums- he once stole a snare from a kid he babysat- he used to smoke pot in front of the kids too
Good job. But actually it can be explained theoretically too. Just fyi. Group 5. So you can call it a Quintuplet overlay over 32nd notes. At least that's how you applied it here. And there are a zillion other ways to play that grouping as you said. Thanks for posting. I like hearing other drummers' thought processes for picking up new licks.
yup...i was totally thinking that, but that's my professor hat on. he STILL has a point with telling us NOT to break it down for the sake of feel and personal creativity. good point, though. i'm wit you
The snare sounds real nice on this. But I agree with the guy below: that floor tom sounds terrible! In fact, the rack tom sounds like a floor tom, and the floor tom sounds like it has a paper bag for a drumhead. ;)
The concept of this fill is great, and I dig that somebody put it up on YouTube. It was funny to listen to him wax philosophical about each drummer having their own flavor, as well as practicing randomly on camera for the last minute or so of the video...I chuckled.
no- I am doing all toe action there. Sometimes I slide my foot a little, other times I keep it stationary, but always heel up. I have a video but no camera to upload to my comp., so soon I will have a tutorial.
Hey- Actually the reverb is probably the result of the room I am playing in. I do however tune my toms fairly low. The type of head plays a part as well.
No- It is just one pedal. There are a lot of ways of producing that sound with just one foot, but if you can't find any vids online, if you just start practicing it slow you will get it.
the best single pedal drummer that have the fastest bass is Jojo mayer. Look for him in Modern Drummer festival 2005. The song is Jabon. it's really fast.
I saw it and I immediately said "HOLY SHIT". sadly my mom and dad were right beside me.
Hey... thanks a lot... a was searching stuff like that for a long time... i'm from Brazil.. still learning ... i ask my drum teacher for more thing like that but i have a hard work to do first with salsa and latin stuff..
Hi can you make a video just of grooves? You always do a fill then about 2 seconds of the groove.. and i want to hear the rest because they are great!
Hey! No problem. I am working on getting a camera. In the mean time, you ever listen to gospel or pop-country. Those guys are putting a whooping on the drums as far as grooves go...yea, I said it...pop-country...they are sick.Shannon Forrest, Chris Mchugh, Jon Mctigue, Ben Sesera, Jim Riley. Nasty. Rascal Flatts, Dierks Bentley, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban.
nice!!! it sounds great man...try playing it with a click for it to come easier for you. when i can't do a certain groove or fill, the metronome always comes in handy!
I agree- That is great advice. At the time I recorded this, I hadn't ever practiced with a metronome, but in the past few months that is all I have been workingon, and now I can honestly say, it might be the first thing I would recommend to a drummer to work on. Thanks
very nice variation. i've been looking all night for a gospel chop and this one's gonna be the first i'll be working on. thanks for posting. keep drumming :)!!!
Hey- Thanks for the kind words. The pattern does take some time, but like I have said before, it depends on your practice habits. If you buckle down and practice it slow and gradually speed it up, and do that every day, it shouldn't take that long...it just takes focused practice.
Yo dude- I know= these vids suck because I sound like an idiot. I had the camera for one hour and had to film all of my vids in that time period, so I guess it was nerves...not to mention, knowing the drum community will be judging me. Anyway, I have some new stuff coming that will blow this stuff out of the water.
hey bud, just 4 a future reference, the fill is call a paradiddle, like RLRR or RLRLRR or start the phrase with ur left stick, and then it can be looped over and over like RLRRLRLL. so call it a paradiddle
he's going RFRFF LFLFF which is far off from a paradiddle. paradiddles are all in four stroke bud. even a double paradiddle can't be a 5 stroke. it's 6. this is just a variation of a 5 stroke roll
Cool- Thanks for the positive feedback. I'll have some new vids soon. I've been getting my own act together, so the next batch of vids should be real clean. Thanks again.
What Hes doin is a quintuplet....Yea dat shit is odd but itz REALLY great 2 add 2 ur arsenal... theirs three ways 2 play a quintuplet,just like there r 3 different triplets formats!!!
christ!! im liking your snare drum it sounds fricken awsome!?..you can pay ££££££s for a sound like that,shows if your lucky there is a freak snare drum out of thousands of budget snares out there...you got lucky with that mate,hang on to it.(stuart copeland had a freak budget snare)
finally someone breaking what I think is the most grooviest fills in drumming. I figured out before that it was just adding the foot, but never could figure it out except the cheesy..2 hands 2 feet. thanks alot, and I know I might start a flame war, but even the better props cause your white!!!!finally some white guys playing gospel!!!
Anyone reading this, check out my friends new website. He is nasty on the keys and the drums and if you have any questions regarding industry tips, recording, etc, he can help you. Just follow his link.
Hi Coltrain, that is really good stuff. I would find it quite helpful if you put up a video like this focusing on those grooves you use between the licks. They look complex but sound great.
Haha. Well, maybe the buisiness side of my brain was scheming without me knowing. But, you are dead on with that thinking. If I were working for one of the drum companies, I would be all over youtube looking for players. Some of these guys are talked about more than the big timers these days. Anyway, thanks for the positive feedback.
I will have access to a camera at the end of the month. I am going to do some videos on afro-cuban grooves, bass technique, and whatever else I can think of.
Hey- I have been playing about 10 years. I just moved from Philly to Nashville, so I will need some time to get situated, but I will get a lesson up on bass technique. As far as tuning goes, just try thick heads. I don't really have any technique for tuning. I consider myself pretty bad at it. Thicker heads do help get that gospel sound.
create a lesson about heel toe technique. Really intresting, talk something about bass pedal tuning, it must be light or hard tuned. and what about second note of double weaker? How to make it sound the same as 1st, and not to change bass pitch (bass head tuning too...)?
Its about your foot speed, if you get your foot speed right you think in 30 second notes against your songs tempo, so if your playing a basic bounce groove then it doubles up so it will be played as a in-groove fill not a replacement for a full bar of 4, but keep it up.
This is a very good lesson! I've done tons of foot/hand combos but never this one. I can't wait to get on my drumset and try this!!!! Thanks so much for posting!

he's going RFRFF LFLFF which is far off from a paradiddle. paradiddles are all in four stroke bud. even a double paradiddle can't be a 5 stroke. it's 6. this is just a variation of a 5 stroke roll

I have had this login name since I was about 13. It has nothing to do with Coltrane. By the way, you spelled You and Wrong, wrong.

Well, I wish it were mine. It was actually borrowed from a teacher of mine. I think it was some old Ludwig, all chrome, but I can find out.

finally someone breaking what I think is the most grooviest fills in drumming. I figured out before that it was just adding the foot, but never could figure it out except the cheesy..2 hands 2 feet. thanks alot, and I know I might start a flame war, but even the better props cause your white!!!!finally some white guys playing gospel!!!

Hey Ray-
Anyone reading this, check out my friends new website. He is nasty on the keys and the drums and if you have any questions regarding industry tips, recording, etc, he can help you. Just follow his link.

oh yeah man thats what i am talking about,i never even thought playing fills like that while doing gospel.
LordDrumeth 4 years ago
Hi Coltrain, that is really good stuff. I would find it quite helpful if you put up a video like this focusing on those grooves you use between the licks. They look complex but sound great.
Thanks, keep it up.

gr8 vid .. i'm gonna try to apply that to my grooves.
MykeMcKesey 4 years ago
Haha. Well, maybe the buisiness side of my brain was scheming without me knowing. But, you are dead on with that thinking. If I were working for one of the drum companies, I would be all over youtube looking for players. Some of these guys are talked about more than the big timers these days. Anyway, thanks for the positive feedback.

How long have you been playing the drums? You should make a video on how to tune a bass drum
thegifteddrummer 4 years ago
Hey- I have been playing about 10 years. I just moved from Philly to Nashville, so I will need some time to get situated, but I will get a lesson up on bass technique. As far as tuning goes, just try thick heads. I don't really have any technique for tuning. I consider myself pretty bad at it. Thicker heads do help get that gospel sound.
coltrain210 4 years ago
create a lesson about heel toe technique. Really intresting, talk something about bass pedal tuning, it must be light or hard tuned. and what about second note of double weaker? How to make it sound the same as 1st, and not to change bass pitch (bass head tuning too...)?
dzionix 4 years ago
he said earlier he's using heel up technique for doubles... I guess that means he's not using heel toe... it doesn't sound like heel toe either
MikeyFlorida 4 years ago
Its about your foot speed, if you get your foot speed right you think in 30 second notes against your songs tempo, so if your playing a basic bounce groove then it doubles up so it will be played as a in-groove fill not a replacement for a full bar of 4, but keep it up.
