I know this video has failed to get an approval rating from the Youtube Samba police, the armchair experts drum tuition committee and the comment thread video approval regulators (self appointed)... but I couldn't give a shit whether it is an authentic Brazillian pattern or not - it sounds bloody good to me and is a cool lesson.
@SAHBfan Are you kidding? The pattern in the hands is a completely different groove based on a style of music from a completely different continent than the Samba. As a professional musician, if I showed up to a Latin gig and played this as a Samba, I would get laughed at, then I would likely be fired. (Or at the very least not hired again, which is almost as bad.)
This guy, professing to be a teacher, should really know better.
Why should I be kidding? I said in my comment that I didn't give a shit whether it was authentic or not. As an amateur musician if I turned up at a practice and played this the other guys would think it fun and might even be impressed.
If you are a professional musician concerned with cultural authenticity and accuracy of rhythmical style, why are you bothering with videos posted for free on youtube?
you shouldnt teach a whole beat, you should teach the feet seperate the symbals seperate and snare seperate... 2 bad i cant do these thing myself... (my english is 2 bad :-( )
Cool lessons. I fell like we're in a plane with the mic. You should load your e-kit into a small cargo plane and shoot a lesson from there while skydivers jump out of the side door. That would rock!!
I am having such a hard time with the foot ostinato of the samba. my bass drum foot is quick enough, but when i lift my hi hat foot my balance disappears and ive got no power for the 'and' of the and 1, and 2, and 3, and 4. if i stay all heels down, no problem, but no doubt i want to shred on this heels up. could it be my throne height or something? ive tried everything and am soooo frustrated. any tips? great vid... your playing is sick
@liennto I personally have my throne as high as I can get it (I'm tall) if that helps. I've found that heel down doesn't give me enough power so I just stopped playing that way. I got my balance over time but really you just have to practice the way you want to play. If you want to be playing heel up with both feet then practice everything that way. It doesn't take too long. Hope that helps.
@AdamOuissellat Thanks. I'm sure its just a practice issue. Just havent hit that comfort breakthrough. I just noticed that the Samba is very similar to the standard jazz "1, and-a 2" rhythm, without swing (and of course with the bass drum added)... True? making this connection seems to help. Thanks again for the reply.
@TVOham Errm No. If you go to Brazil you will find that they play the surdo (bass drum) on the 2 and 4 (usually). Samba is not a kit groove. Also, the pattern you speak of is one of many. Check out Baiao Samba which is quite different. Lastly do not reply with offensive comments. If you think someone is wrong that's fine but don't use insults. And I highly doubt you have any feel whatsoever. You are probably just another drum noob.
@TVOham music styles and where they came from has NOTHING to do with music theory. clearly someones never taken a theory class. but carry on, troll. no, really, please. fag.
@TVOham you should take your own advice. look up the wikipedia defintion for "Music Theory". Lots of info. Does it mention the Samba (or any music style/origin for that matter)? Nope. So you make me repeat myself. If you were studying the samba and that it came from Brazil, in MUSIC THEORY class, you went to a piece of shit of a school because theory is THEORY. Origins of music is studied in a different class and has NOTHING TO DO WITH THEORY. give up chump.
It's funny that you used wikipedia as your reference, but what do you think Samba and latin styled rythms are? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it was music.
@TVOham your racist bullshit is so out of line and makes it clear you suck at what you do because real musicians are gifted and dont think that way. WTF is wrong with you?
Try to play this beat to a basic mambo pattern tape(can be purchased at any music store). It doesn't fit to any of the variations. This is definetely a samba.
@TVOham i still think your classifying this music way to much! latin music has the ability to go anywhere it wants!
that bell pattern is definatly the same as a mambo! the pattern on the toms is similar to the mozambique style groove! steve gadd,
that bass drum ostinato is used in samba! not set in concrete but yes used in samba!
that being said i use the same pattern on the kick/HH for rock, samba, baiao, rumba sometimes! wherever it sounds good! nothing wrong with what onlinedrummer said
@polidosk8 I know, man. I meant that it's funny to see someone from the country where samba was created having a hard time playin it, it's just ironic, you know.
Yay! Thanks ALOT man i've been searching all round to learn afro-cuban/latin grooves and this has been REALLY informative. Could you do somemore mainstream latin/afro-cuban grooves similar to this??? Thanks!
Yay for being the 120,000th view.
