Jared Falk Funk Drum Jam

[Kobe10032]

Not exactly the funk kinda snare sound but great playing nonetheless, Jared.

[Frostedchunks]

Jared is an awesome drummer no doubt about it, but his snare drum sounds horrible D:

[MP9220]

3:14

Holy banana!

[synthartist69]

Excellent drumming! :)

[Sweendawg2014]

Man...everything about this sounds so amazing! I love that set! What song is that? Just some random jam or something?

[THEentropyMaker]

It's like watching Bob Ross. He makes it look so easy. But then when you go to the kit, you realize your "Friendly little trees" don't quite sound the same as Jared's.

[miketwo345]

@THEentropyMaker That is quite possibly the most awesome comment ever.

[TheDavewithnoname]

This is awesome, very well played :D

[InnerBeatDrumSchool]

Very nice man.  Tasty fills!

[kevintamk]

hey what the hell is going on at 1.23? and 1.33? btw the music sounds great and your drumming... omg you are an amazing drummer :D

[DeBoltDrumming1]

@kevintamk hes doing some paradiddles at 1:23 and some heel toe doubles at 1:33 :)

[nostalgiacreep]

sweet playing jared, love that snare sound too :]

[TheNev7]

hy wats the tittle of the music? any link for download? thank you

[GeorgMay]

it's funk, no worries

[bernas55]

What is the name of music ??

[freestylefilmsinc]

what ever happened to the old studio

[marco88530]

it was first video about drumming that i saw,before start practice to play drums

now it's kinda my life

THANK YOU JARED!

[dualdiabolo]

For everyone saying this isnt funk, it is funk, the deffinition of funk in the drummers world is using lots of ghost notes on the snare and hitting the snare off the 2 and the 4 beat.

[KCdrummer94]

what model ride is that? It sounds great!

[Easleytee]

Nothing remotely special here.

[MrJellyman300]

@Easleytee Go to his other vids, or watch his jams with Cobus. He's a crazy drummer. One of the biggest, if not the biggest, drum lesson sites on the internet. He is an awesome drummer, dude.

[AsianScrotom]

So motherfuucking smoooth buttery arse nigguh.

[lbradleyiii]

this doesn't really scream funk to me, but Jared is a hell of a player regardless

[maram0514]

Why do people have to be such haters just enjoy the music. If you love instruments and music then enjoy. stop talking so much garbage. if you could do better then him good for you. but dont hate be mature.

[truenewyorker101]

Say what you will...Jared is a kick ass drummer who dedicates alot of his time to helping out beginners and pros. He can play some really complex combos with robotic timing and he can groove with the best of 'em.

[platapush]

These cymbals sound so much better then his paistes

[Adoonthedrums]

Great soun! and good backbeats&fills

[botabatiki]

HEY KIDZ HEY BOYZ AND GIRLS THE REASON PPL DONT LIKE THIS VIDEO IS CUZ ITS NOT HARD TO DO ANY OF THIS IF YOU PLAY DRUMS!!!!! DONT BELEIVE ME? I GUESS YOU DON'T PLAY INSTRUMENTS!!!

stop wondering why ppl dont like it. experience = insight. people who don't play drums or any instruments for that matter should really not be on here telling people what is funky drumming.. you probably don't know what "funk drumming" is defined by.... it's not speed and aggression! gl kids!

[kayrrah07]

What do you call the technique or the thing you did in 1:22 - 1:24?

[bsuit1256]

your kit and those cymbals = sex

[baculo69]

0:38 best broken fill in funk man!!

[bataquero777]

que bien!!!!!!!111

[spstarks]

:35 such a sick lick :)

[BateristadeTucson17]

Finally got some DW'S on here :D

[ssdaven]

Can anyone helpa noob drummer like me?

I've been playing electric drums and I just recently got a sabian hi hat. I'm noticed that in this video, Jared's hi hat never really seems to 'open' yet he gets a very good "chic" as well as a good "ssss" sound out of it. Jared, how much space do you have between your hats? Or is that irrelvant, and you're simply using your left foot to contol the spacing as needed to get those sounds? I'm finding I can't do very much now that I'm using regulay hats =(

[benuke14]

@ssdaven probably the best solution to your problem is to practice opening your hi hats different amounts and find out what's comfortable for you, with foot position and pressure on the pedal and stuff like that. everybody has different preferences when it comes to playing drums, and it takes a while to find out what works and is comfortable for you. practicing and trying different methods is the best way to find out. hope i could help!

[dagc99]

how can anybody dislike this video

[TheSmar09]

although i dont get how u do em b cuz ur not sliding or using heel-toe, how

[TheSmar09]

u r just beast man, keep it up champ and at 2:20, nice kick

[willza55]

1:32 doubles over doubles, with a single pedal doin the foot doubles.

daamn.

[heywuldgablowme]

Sounds Great could u check out me an my friend jammin an possibly suggest to ur friends Beans And Junior-Original is the title

[subclonk]

I'm not dissing his drumming, but I can't hear any funk here. It's all very straight-laced stuff.

[RatPakForEvr]

Kid you r in the zone!! How good does it feel??? I know :)Hows about posting a vid with Traditional grip??? would love to see it!! Ronnie

[shootjr]

Worst film editing and screen wipes of all time.

[AlexMPruteanu]

1:21, is that your take on Gadd's groove paradiddle? I love how you incorporate that into a fill.

[theroadtobabilon]

il peggior pezzo funky che abbia mai sentito

[henrikew00]

very cool

[jam12288]

sic man!!!

[Panxo063]

Where can i get that song?!! ><

[onceonlyaz]

what kind of hi hats do u use

[michael9110]

how do you tune your bass drum? what do you use inside it?

[denimfat]

Pocket pays the bills bitches!!

[pch34O]

How can I find this track?

[alex801848]

Please so some more of these videos of you jamming, it's so inspiring!

[BenniKaninchen]

Isn't that a nice and smooth jazzy bunch of funk? Like it.

[pampdog]

Wow!

[badestman]

Exactly where in the site do you get to download this track??

[Stormsea1]

I always like Jareds playing, he is very good, and his videos are always the highest possible quality.

Also his kit sounds fantastic.

[iamtheshape1]

the lack of bass is bothering me.

[pampdog]

Ouch! That was tight, son. I mean tight! Well done. Much respect and thank you for sharing...

[dannysanchez31]

Hey Jared! Nice! Question - Can you tell me what you do to your bass drum when you play live and with no mic. Because i notice in this video you have a pretty big pillow in there. Thanks Jared.

[123Conky4]

I really like the chorus man ! it has the feel

[gordonfan32]

awesome sounds really good

[JonnyFeltonMusic]

My favourite thing about this video, is he doesn't have a stupidly large kit, he makes a really nice beat on a simple size kit.

[crazykillah911]

really good drummer but he loses tempo at some points

[wagwanmanx]

its jazz funk, but yeah its not proper funk. but the drumming is good

[jenswinder]

i like the way your cymbals speak to each other what cymbals are these?

[seantyson]

Jared! You're such a good drummer, but so effing mechanical. Just find the pocket and sit in it. Swing it harder dude!

[McLenison]

Drumming is solid and recorded great however I would have liked it better with a funkier, more off-beat bass drum.

[TheEntoxic8ed]

@McLenison were you born half retarded? It's a simple jam, he's keeping a consistent beat. Nice one bro sounding real smart there.

[nintendoretard]

I do agree that there are many funk elements in the jam. However, I feel like this is more jazz than anything.

[Jaykob1M322]

I guess thats funk. I love it!

[lunaretic3]

he has that carter beauford hi hat fill =D

[jetdriver26]

I agree, great playing, great drum sounds, great recording, but it ain't funk.

[xKanda101x]

@jetdriver26 Yes it is actually.

[metallicarocks911]

@jetdriver26 the drum fills and beats he uses IS funk though, and it still fits great

[NickMercurio]

@jetdriver26 the same drumming can be applied to funk. 

[metallicarocks911]

@jetdriver26 well it is, but it NEEDS funky guitar riffs and such to make it funk lol

[jabed112]

ur my idol jared falk if u read this plzs remember tht i will if god wishes meet u one day n tell u about this time ur my idol man i wish u could have given me secret lessons

[Gene591]

Nice groove, though he falls behind a few times...

[1234fivesixseven8]

how fast do you reckon you could get on the double bass yamaha direct drive? single strokes and heel toe?

[miso169]

were can i get the song without the bass? :D

[Djfredy10]

muy bien amigo tocas de la ptm, sigue asi man

[forests741]

I only originally wanted to look up something on ghost notes, and came across this. Very nice.

[PowPowDycaico]

I would say jazz funk pop

[JollyJuicy]

ADIDAS SUPERSTARS :)

[bustergmaxx]

technique: brilliant

Musicman ship: Superb

Spirit: Mediocre

Pocket: solid

I say it because sometimes (like 1:09) it wasn'r robot-perfect timing, which you need to be in the 21st century to 'get there' :) When the music held, his pocjet didn't, it kept as if drumming by himself

If you dig this stuff, please check out local hometown boy ANDY FISENDEN, his funkness is up on youtube :)!

Love it Jared, cheers for the upload, got me drummin' in ma head

[UnseriousRadio]

wow...........

[LaneJaguar]

Great song!!! What's the name of your band?

[Goryllo]

fake and gay

[LaneJaguar]

@Goryllo , obviously, you don't have the slightest clue about this talented young man so please feel free to go back to playing that fake rockband video game and leave the real drumming to the real drummers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Goryllo]

@LaneJaguar

check me out, my vid's called "lorenzo bianchi ceccherini". i'm just saying this ain't funk, it's 70's disco funky and i don't like it. this guy's vids are usually great, in this case i think not.

[cPabon505]

funky ass white boy

[RogerRabbit94]

this is like chad smith and john bonham combined.

[sam13kk]

nice

[lihloh]

Hey is this a pdp m5?

if it is can you tell me how is the snare tuned? sounds awesome

[FDLRemmurd]

@lihloh No It's not. Why tells you its a PDP M5?

[theinck]

thank you for sharing your skills for others to learn so they can improve playing themselves. brilliant teacher, brilliant player.

[botabatiki]

keep working jared, this is still basic.

[Indojackal]

tasty

[Slanghomy]

Amazingly talented

[fendertele123]

awesome . nice job ! (Y)

[botabatiki]

this is real good.... only funk is really more about laying grooves, where as this sounds like you're matching to the notes your band plays. not that it's bad....but this isn't exactly funky.

[funky4s8t7u2f1f]

Nice groove! I love it.

[TannySM]

just because its a piano doesn't mean its not funk 

[wascro]

wow i love this piece

its like a big fat juicy funk orgy of grooveyness

[wowamazing123]

totally love this track. sounds so tasty.

[InkkuRazor]

We internet ppl want to see Jared doing something like this with only him and a funky slap bass, right? 'cause this is just prfect *wish I could do that*

[cgtkl]

i love it

[dscarmo]

gorgeous sound

i want this set!

[hetamoses]

bloody awful

[pearlexport91]

verrry nice, this is great simple in parts but throwing in flair at times quite a lot of flair,

will take me a while to reach this standard but it gives me something to aim for. thanks.

[cecil995]

good drummer....too bad the editing is more creative than the playing

[GingerTheDrummer]

@cecil995

Seriously, drumming has nothing to do with how complex something is. Open up creative elements and make something really simple so other people can groove to it.

[mamitziri]

@GingerTheDrummer You Ginger Drummer...those words never crossed my mind...but OMG youre sooooo correct!, wise drummer :)

[GingerTheDrummer]

@mamitziri lol you make me feel like a drum guru XD

[kENZRUm]

this is funk!!

[davelewitt]

Great job Jared- love all the freedrumlessons

posts as well- thanks!

check out this solo from the author of

"The Book of Funk Beats- grooves for snare, bass and hihat"

search:

"DRUM SOLO IN 3 MOVEMENTS"

on YouTube

[VovicXXX]

good job dude!

[BlackHawkGaming]

YES, this is the drumming I've wanted to be able to calm down to my whole life!!! FINALLY A BEAT WORTH LISTENING TO!

[yosupmannnn]

the lil hi-hats hits at 2:47 is amazing!! goog job Jared ;)

[dhsc19]

I have to admit, there's been a tremendous improvement from the awkwardness of the earlier videos to this. It's obvious he's been sharpening his skills as ANY GOOD MUSICIAN should. Great job!

[dasanb]

great jam

his funk playing is good

[Tsully]

I said once, say it again, this kid can play

[iCanHazSkillz]

Meh, is that the Tama Superstar or the PDP Fusion series?

I got the PDP FS in just tht color, but Tama also got the kit called ''Tama Superstar Hyperdrive Dark Desert Burst'', beautiful kits!

[TobacCigO]

@iCanHazSkillz

Uhmmm... I believe its a Drum Workshop (DW) kit my friend

[hetamoses]

just awful

[jcenawl]

I wish i could play like this lol

[BlackHawkGaming]

@jcenawl Hey, at least you have one to play! I would set aside my guitar for a nice set of drums any day (I've only gotten to play the drums twice in my life, each time was like I had stars streaming from my hands to the end of the sticks)...too bad its just a loud nuisance to my family...

[SPLASH1970]

Awesome!!

What a marvelous drums playing!!

But camera switching is too bad...

[DRUMLEE]

super gay ...jkn

[BlackHawkGaming]

@DRUMLEE lol I was gonna say, YOU BETTER NOT CALL HIM GAY! He's a damn good drummer.

[brazabel]

@DRUMLEE c'mon man don't be a hater....... he is very good drummer can you even play what wat he's playing????????

[Llamaboy410]

He's really grooooovin'! :D

[NutDrumhazard]

You are one of my funk drum's idol.

I want to have good syncorpation same you.

I have a hard practice on drum because I see your video.You are one of my inspiration.

[bassyboy229]

What Kit and cymbals are these?

[luisne93]

zidjian K

[pb0o6]

his toms sound nice but his snare bothers me for some reason. i guess i just like em tight

[bassyboy229]

I felt the same.. dw ;)

[hardminder]

hah this is fusion funk-blues

[jabed112]

nice drummer

[TomakaBonzo]

this guy was awesome in starship troopers.......

[SemiQuaver100]

i didnt know neal pagtrick harris can play drums ! ftw ! lol

[dancTDC]

???

[bartangle]

dude are you one of the roxbury guys

or a bobble head

[fatfatat444]

Wow. Good.

[mmmlemony]

themajordud, maybe you don't understand that theres a difference between timing and time signature, learn that and watch the video again you'll realise this playing is perfect

[themajordude]

mmmlemony, I clicked on this clip to learn something, so can you tell me the difference please?

[nickmonypenny]

what is this song called? i recognize the cord progression but cant think of what it is.....HELP!!!

[mrbateman00]

Yeah, I don't know that he's off on all the spots you have listed but the feel/groove pulls apart too often for a pro video.

He's got white boy elbow. I'm white but I am loose. You can see it in the tension in his neck.

[amjan]

"Either that or its just out."

- It's not out. That's a fact. Stop talking nonsense.

I don't go to rocket science videos to say "Oh, your calculations have got to be wrong" only because I don't understand them. So stop doing the same here.

"Be critical, but I doubt you will find fault with their playing."

- Doh! They're excellent drummers.

Now go and read about rhythmic displacement, rhythmic modulation and odd time signatures.

[themajordude]

Hi Amjan, at first I thought (1.22) might be be one of the concepts that you mention (I am familiar with them) but it still didn't sound right. Then I noticed a few other points in the video that didn't sound right. My conclusion is that it is out. Which of those concept do you think Falk is using at 1.22?

[amjan]

Ok mate so:

The sequence starts at around 1:22,7 and ends at 1:24. It actually lasta a full bar of the 4/4 metre that the song is in. He's playing sixteenth note nonuplets during the whole bar :-)

There is 18 of them to be exact (that's how many of them fit in a 4/4 bar), and he groups them into 3 groups of six such notes (3 x 6 = 18).

[amjan]

Now, you should listen to the kick drum.

There are 3 kicks during that bar - each of them marks the beginning of each group of six notes. This should help you follow it.

He handles that unusual (and difficult) part perfectly and finishes with the cymbal on the "1" of the next bar.

[themajordude]

Hi Amjan, You're right about 1.22. Thanks for explaining it to me. Previous comment removed.

[pancho8787]

out of time in 1:22 definitively. u can tell to shut up anybody man, but that's that.

[mamitziri]

@pancho8787 the fuck u said? and no, hes not out of time, it actually takes skills to do that, timing skills actually :)

[McNerget]

no no, the timing is good. Tap along and you'll see major

[adzug]

love the trip fill @132.

[14galih]

love the kit,,, nice sound,,, :-D

[gapdef]

This is great:) I have to try jammin to the version i linked ;)

[Paul1GMC]

@themajordude shut the fuck up

[sason333]

Wow!! if someone have the bass tab for this song please send that to my inbox

[sason333]

WOW!!! if someone have the bass tabs for this cool song please send that to me!

[xXDaViDeZXx]

Bravo

[YourNewGod123]

You have got a good feel.

[DrOctodrums]

OH MY GOSH! SERIOUSLY YOURE AMAZING, i mean, uve got it, ure exactly the prove that theres no need to be ultra fast when drumming to platy freaking good, you have the feeling dude, congratulations!

[msteeves01]

@DrOctodrums amen its all about the groove.

[benciano]
