DRUM LESSON: Soul Vaccination Funk Groove: David Garibaldi

[benjaminkronborg]

Awesome lesson!!! but in my opinion the easiest way to get this rhythm under your skin, is to read the notes and slowly play them in the tempo where is grooves and be patient! Eventually the groove starts to "groove" and you are there ;)

[Lasmamoe]

You are great :)

[qreste1]

This video is not a good drum lesson. It only teaches you not to try and learn from YouTube videos. The beat does _not_ consist of triplets. Please watch David Garibaldi's videos and see the groove is composed of 16th notes in a regular feel. NOT a shuffle feel! So, as apposed to what this person is 'teaching' and playing, this groove does not contain triplets and is NOT shuffle, at all. Do not even try to count as triplets.This is very important to understand. Please remove this video.

[dimsunk]

@qreste1 Hi there,check out 3:52 . Maybe you didn't get to that point before making your comment. I explain that it's in 16th notes. But broken down the hands are playing the rudiment Swiss Triplets in 16th notes creating a polyrhythm .

[qreste1]

@dimsunk

You tell us to count as 'one and a.. two and a..'. It sounds more like Toto - Rosanna this way. Listen to Rosanna and to this song and hear the difference. You should never count like this, then you'll never get it as tight as Garibaldi plays it. And it's not a triplet. A triplet is what you play in shuffles, which this is not. A swiss triplet is a triplet with a flam stroke, which has nothing to do with this either, Listen to yourself play at 7:29 and hear the triplets.

[dimsunk]

@qreste1 In the intro of the video, I play the groove. Does it sound like a shuffle? I'm not playing it in triplets. It's in 16th notes. The explaining of the triplets is a first step to help working out the ghost notes and accents in the hands. The next step is moving it over to 16th notes. Like a kid riding a bike for the first time starts with training wheels then removes them eventually.

You ask me to remove the video , but it helped alot of people. check the comments.

All the best

Max

[beanabadger]

@qreste1 The groove uses groups of 3 (3-3-3-4) so the triplet analogy works when breaking it down. He makes it clear the the pattern is in 16ths and explains in a way that is easy to digest. Just put a metronome on with the 16th subdivision playing and I can't see how you can go wrong.

Great video dimsunk!

[industrialpulse]

@qreste1 Good job with the knit picking ya twit.

[nachoperistalsis]

@qreste1 you're an asshole



[TheSquidKiller]

I stumbled upon your videos by looking up the recipe for dimsum but what i found here was alot more tasty!

[dacloo]

There are not many people who can teach very well, but you do. you take it step by step, break it down and repeat a lot for people to really 'get it'. Well done and a great groove. The only thing I could not hear very well was the bassdrum, the sound got lost because of the snaredrum. Are these grooves somewhere on DVD or tape?

Cheers

[alvarogolcher]

you r amazing, thanks for sharing your talent!

[jakenicolle]

Thanks Max for this great break down, it enabled me to learn it!

I attached a video of myself playing it, I would love to hear what you think.

Best Regards,

Jake Nicolle

[SnizzFizz]

Awesome video! This song is SO hard to play, you make it look easy. My dad's in Tower of Power, and David Garibaldi might let me take his place and play this on stage eventually in the future if I get good enough haha!

[JagenP0890]

Such creepy eyes when you're looking into the camera :P haha but I loved it! lol

[hellooben]

I have bittersweet feeling to this groove, 'cause.. I love how it sounds, but I just can't get it together in the hands. This groove really reveals how good my tec. in my left hand really is... haha! Great vid btw. Love your drumming (:

[DrummerDaan]

This video is really good! But does anyone know how to play the two triplets parts/fills at the ending of the live version of the song? please help me out.

Keep it up!

[frankvaccaro]

max i think you tube is giving you stocks to there site soon , wow you are amazing , i hope you are doing well it was very nice to speak with you the other night

[SamLambert]

Great lesson, thanks a mil. Absolutely love this groove. Keep em comin dimsunk!

[Skinhitta]

I love how you make sure the viewer gets it before going into the full beat. Good teacher.

[stainwalk]

i got the hands part but iu never aid where u play the bass drum, its confusing nto just hear it u know, could un please just tell me liek, 1, 2, e of 3 n a of 4... or something like that

[pharm817]

fantastic!

[0oPetethedrummero0]

Excellently broken down. I'll definitely try picking this groove up. :D

[playgroove]

Hey Dimsunk.I'm so sorry and I apologize:/ I was being a jerk when I wrote that comment.I was pissed off and in a bad mood because I fractured my ankle really bad and taking pain pills.I shouldn't have been on the computer that night.Of course it helps to count.I had a stroke 5 years ago.It's been very hard for me to rehab myself these last few years.I'm still not back in shape yet and now my ankle has a metal plate and screws.The chops God gave me are in my head and I miss playing.Plz forgive:/

[dimsunk]

@playgroove Hey There, Don't sweat it. We all have our good and bad days. I wish you all the best with your rehab . I hope you're playing soon again. In the meantime Listen to music and enjoy. Focus on what you can do. All the best to you! Dimsunk

[dsleeperhold]

@playgroove i broke my right knee and started playing lefty. 

[DrShrinker]

Excellent lesson. Among the best I've seen on youtube.

[rrelrey]

for this difficult groove i found ur explanation easy 2 understand n very helpful. thanks a bunch mr! funkiest hardest groove ever.

[phallusofdoom]

@playgroove

What a ridiculous comment; counting helps with feel. Studio drummers especially need to count so they can communicate with new artists quickly and 'build out' songs for smooth recording sessions.

[playgroove]

@phallusofdoom Hey man you're right.I'm sorry & I apologize:/ I was being a jerk when I wrote that.I was pissed off and in a bad mood because I fractured my ankle really bad and taking pain pills.I shouldn't have been on the computer that night.Of course it helps to count.I had a stroke 5 years ago.It's been very hard for me to rehab myself these last few years.I'm still not back in shape yet and now my ankle has a metal plate and screws.The chops are in my head and I miss playing.Sorry man,thx

[mopedman1]

@playgroove No worries man we all do stupid things when we are angry. I hope your recover very soon mate. All the best!

[mopedman1]

@playgroove Your a dick. Should give it up? just keep playing and trying and improving. 

[playgroove]

@mopedman1 ...Hey man you're right.I'm sorry and I apologize:/ I was being a jerk when I wrote that.I was pissed off and in a bad mood because I fractured my ankle really bad and taking pain pills.I shouldn't have been on the computer that night.Of course it helps to count.I had a stroke 5 years ago.It's been very hard for me to rehab myself these last few years.I'm still not back in shape yet and now my ankle has a metal plate and screws.The chops are in my head and I miss playing.Sorry man,thx

[18181881]

i love tower of power good work man

[poncho2211]

damn and i thought learning the fool in the rain shuffle was hard. Learning this is gonna be hell.

[Mck1nlay]

this sounds real cool !

[tringalijo]

beh che dire, fantastico groove

[MechanixPL]

Awesome beat but difficult. I had to download it and slow down to get the final part of the beat break. Now I can play it super slow, so I'm happy.

Thank you for posting this lesson!

[YTisshit]

gorgeous kit, LOVE the bass drum!!! what make is it? what skins? what kind of beater please?

[81Lukas]

Great beat,but...when You play this on beginning yors lesson it sounds diffrent. I play this in the same way like you show in lesson,i play it very fast but it sounds in not the same way like you lpay am starting yours video.

[ijukundumir]

then you probaly did something wrong...

[phrygian360]

damn from watching i thought i'd sit right down and nail this but i cant get the double snare hits smooth =(

[MrSteveEllis]

[abraxas360]

[gregroz]

[Rodgebi]

Great job man !!!

[MrDrummertheo]

Hi, it´s a verry cool Vid.

[SgtPeterFuck]

hey max! Really good explaination! I wonder if you could post a pattern of that groove in the info text also ^^ for noobies like me ;-) that would be great! keep up the good work! peace

[rohnan1976]

great, great,great !

[nahutabnahutab]

lbut your comment sounds like a bunch of bullshit

[Drakett]

lol....

[electricbazar]

Wow man thanks so much for sharing this !

Crystal clear explanations, great groove ! I just suscribed to your videos, keep on the good work !

Greetings from a drummer from across Atlantic and thanks again.

[hamaknaflint]

deng, dang, deeem! thanks a lot man! now i know how it is played! "but i can't play it" seriously! it ain't happening and i'm having a hard time, so i'll just stick to nile, for real, just blast beats and 32 rolls around the kit but i ain't fast as george kollias or eloy casagrande which is a lot more faster or fastest in my opinion. thanks a lot man, i hope you could post more videos.

[Sabiano]

well you need a certain degree of talent to play funk...with feel. As opposed to "just blast beats and 32 rolls around the kit".

[rohnan1976]

and it takes no talent whatsoever to leave comments like yours !

[jbad0]

The actual best drummer on youtube

although Joey jordinson is faster

I joke

Your Awesome

x

[xR34P3Rx]

stfu

[babsaloops]

when you explain about the swiss triplet part on the hihat???you change the hands when it gets to splitting up on snare and hihat??i found your explanatioj quite hard to be honest.....

[dimsunk]

The hands don't actually change.... but I should have explained this. It's the exact same pattern just that it starts on the second double in the right hand. Hope you understand. Max

[babsaloops]

Ah righyt..thats what it is then..knew was different...sound..cheers

[doublethumpbass89]

pocket drumming is the shit...hands down...and linear drumming

[Natataek]

Thanks! great breakdown, easy to understand and apply.

[mulok666]

wow! i have to practive this groove....

really nice played bro!

greets from germany

[thiaomaccaco]

Nice class!

Really appreciate it!

[wburgess86]

Nicely done!

It's a tricky beat to get sounding good. I find the intro the really nasty one to groove though!

[Cfri]

hey get alojng people the guy has deffinate skillz

[akitoitube]

SORRY!!!!, I had found the partiture, and it´s 4/4. I was in a mistake thinking this groove was with triples. In partiture it´s very difficult. Your explain makes learn more easy. Thank's friend.

[akitoitube]

I count 5/4 and dassdrum beating blakcs. If it´s so, I think you lost count when you explain de groove, and you play a ghostnote at the end, in the next first black. Perhaps I'm in a mistake. But your explain it's very good. Thank's. Bye friend

[Bosphorus92]

very nice explaining

[beatboy136]

If your looking for a video that has lots of fast fill and guys blowing through rudimental grooves then watch MD festival. This is a lesson not a show if you want to learn this is how you do it, if not go somewhere else! You guys need to grow up!!

[rizz959]

i hate u all

[rudisson]

This is a prefect exampel how to break down a very subtlegoove!!

All you commenters down there have no clue about the beauty what a groove can do. All tose subtle things you are going to wreck with fill´s .

Good luck in hammering your drums´!

[johnnybgood12345]

stop staring at me bro its sorta creepy.

[drummum02]

Thanks so much for really breaking this down! You're a great instructor!

[shadegrownpicker]

i love your style!!:)

[andyyhitscar]

put some fills in!!

[johnnybgood12345]

it's a drum lesson you idiot.

[420jaymac]

"put some fills in!!" hahaha what a moron

[andyyhitscar]

if you cant groove without fills, you are..... 420 jay ...... fack

[420jaymac]

give your head a shake ..hes giving a drum tutorial on a certain groove ..hes not going to play fills during a lesson thats about a solid groove, the beat is already intricate enough, hes not going to throw in unnecessary fills to get in the way of breaking down and explaining the groove. watch his other videos its Max Sansalone man.. he can most certainly groove with and without fills for miles and miles

[vienneau23]

that says ALOT about him, ever hear pocket feel?! and your going to understand an instructional video about a funk style pattern when theres fills involved that do not help to comprehend the intricacy of the groove.. please explain how that works.

[andyyhitscar]

did YOU ever hear of a pocket feel with fills. jeez what the hell do you konw vienneau i play in plenty jazz bands to know what a pocket feel is. And to "comprehend the intricacy of the groove" i never said he should set up a 5/4 polyryhythm on an off beat of his fill. Put fills to better elaborate timing and downbeats.

[420jaymac]

its a funk groove.. an instructional video on a funk groove at that... would you say to Clyde Stubblefield ..yeah you can groove without fills for miles but what does that say about you?? and would you ever goto a stubblefield clinic and yell out "put some more fills in!" ??

[andyyhitscar]

yes i would you dick.

[420jaymac]

hahaha douche

[wburgess86]

And at that point he and everyone else in the room would realise you just don't get it...

[andyyhitscar]

yo still............. THROW IN SOME MORE A DEM FILLSSSSSSSSSS

[Anthonysings]

Great Job, I enjoyed your video

[7drj]

hey man how many mics do u use?

[deriksemail]

Hey, Thanks!I'm located in Montreal. What about you?  max

[ShanilROX]

[justlaxin80123]

[dexterthekat]

Really nice Max! You explained it very well. I learned this when it came out, but forgot it over the years. Thanks for the refresher.

[dowsemeister2]

[frankvaccaro]

max , thanks for putting this up, i have been at it all mornning, you are an ammazzing teacher it is well explained and you can really feel the beat, plus it makes playing some bozzio stuff much easyer, i love it . thanks

[allumirati]

So the bass is on the 1, a of 2, e of 3, and 4? Great groove, I'm going to try it and try to move it around the kit. One could use this for a fill across the kit. Thanx for the videos, I'm learning a lot (been on hiatus for a while(.

[erstwhiler]

excellent explanation. I enjoy all of your videos. Keep up the good work..im gonna go learn that beat now!

[shakey64]

really enjoy all your drum videos. great playing in all the styles.

[drummersgroove]

Why on earth has no one seen this video? I love that groove. Never knew all the ghost notes though, until now that is - very well explained. I will have to try it tonight. Thanks so much! :)

Fantastic playing and technique by the way!
