Owen - Trading Jazz

[ALBERTJULIAN1]

track from the Book & CD " THE  DRUMMERS SOLOIST " by STEVE HOUGHTON

[OwrKeeng]

Hey Owen, I don't know if you're working on this still, but when you're playing you want your hi-hat to be really loud, you're hardly playing it at all.

[colourfulwithaU]

You look and sound like you are a rock drummer playing jazz.

[TheBenWelch]

Classy lamp is classy.

[constantinchris]

playalong is from a tutor called steve houghton,

[Juddyism]

Dude, I love your playing. Your drums sound good, and you are so versatile. You like the same music as I.

[4stringbloodyfingers]

[DavidA14]

He miced up his drum set. Thats why the quality is great.

[Stickmasterrr]

I wish I could! A friend gave me a bunch of jazz play alongs while I was auditioning for jazz. I can tell you that there are some very awesome jazz play alongs off Tommy Igoes Groove essentials though!

Thanks for the view!

This movie is on my favourites, the song is fantastic, with drums.. better!

Great Job

[upnsmoke]

Great job once again Owen - I do have a question.. what's the best (fastest) way to build the independence you have with both hands? I find that's one of the hardest things to do as a drummer... thanks man.. keep the vids coming!

[Odrum11]

Thanks man! What I did to build jazz co-ordination (and what I do for various latin styles co-ordination) is just play time and sight read snare comping out of this book called Syncopation. It's a must buy. You can also comp on the bass drum and stuff to, and it's a great way to build sight reading!

[onlyjohnno613]

You have so much talent. That was beautiful, I think the best jazz drum improv i've seen on youtube. Not to mention the audio recording made the video awesome as well.

[Thystonius]

Checked out the mySpace of your band. Very nice music as well. I like Fragile and the instrumental track a lot!

[ihatespongebob]

i absolutley love the way your toms sound.

how do you tune them?

[friedsushi34]

Unbeleivable!! Great job

[kabbie69]

i didn't know you had a thing for jazz

[Odrum11]

Really enjoy playing jazz, SO relaxing. Starting studying jazz last year, still have so much to learn!

Tremac35: Thanks man, ahaha there are SO many amazing jazz players here on youtube. I'm not far from a beginner with jazz ahaha

And a big thanks to you too friedsushi34 :P
