Drum Lesson - Samba

[DrHowlingMad]

very nice

[Gitavix]

If you want, try to liisten to Paulinho Braga, and also the traditional samba artists and groups like "Fundo de Quintal", "Zeca Pagodinho", or more motherns like "João Bosco".

Keep it ging my friend! It's very good!!!

All the best for you

[Gitavix]

Very good drumer!!

But let me say a little thing. Try to fell Samba in 2/4, I mean, the half of the 4/4 you are feeling. It will change completelly your intention whae you play samba. Beleive me!!!Also trys to play 16th notes at the right hand, with some different accents. The pedal is played in a lighter way, balanced with the hands. The left hand is not a pattern all the time, it follows the melody,

[raincoats]

Any tips on the bass drum? im having difficulty adding it with everything else

[servando9117]

it is cool! is amazinig! and easy!, do you can play songo?

[dc1534]

man I could really go for some sheet music on this.

[xxxkomodoxxx]

sorry, could you tell me the beats from the snare. I did not understand so much

[xxxkomodoxxx]

piolasa brother, cuanto tiempo te tomo aprenderla

[felohormona]

weeena !!

excelente compare!

excelent, perfect..

[TheMusicaBRASIL]

Não tem o swing de um brasileiro não adianta tentar!!!:D

[drumzilla0]

That was a bosa nova. Not a samba.

[BeatProfessor]

@drumzilla0 A bossa is MUCH slower.

[blight4hire]

@BeatProfessor actually any latin beat with that bass drum pattern is known as bossa nova which means latin drumming with a mix of jazz. samba is different and it is not this. But i think no one should give a shit about what kind of drumming is this, it sounds nice and thats what matters :)

[gunkyfreak]

@3:25 !!

[Maruceroooo]

Thank you very much dude, this is my first samba beat and you made me learn it in about 2 hours... greetings from Brazil!

[robatuta]

very good man, but the hihat is wrong. you are doing it like a fast-jazz beat, but in samba the hihat never stops, it's continuous. it's still very good man.

Sorry for my english, i'm brazilian

[ProfesserFail]

@robatuta there are different types and colors for samba and what he did was a widely know samba style but you are correct that almost any samba has non-stop hi-hat

[robatuta]

very good man, but the hihat is wrong. you are doing it like a fast-jazz beat, but in samba the hihat never stops, it's continuous. but it's very good man.

Sorry for my english, i'm brazilian

[chasin01]

That's a Bossa Nova (;

[DriftStreet88]

can you like pm me the notation for this! its great!

[Duganopol]

the bass and the hihat ok but in the snare you must change the "clav"

[teamsleepnine]

damm you good man!!!!

[mesoprano]

Thx man !!!

[sofiitag]

I thought it was much harder but its easy and very cool

[narealmesmo]

Lie! The samba is not so!

1 - There is a stronger emphasis on the two bass drum.

2 - Not used in conducting triplet multitap and yes, always emphasizing the notes of the rim.

3 - The swing set there is not the Samba. Among many other considerations on the subject. Find and listen more. Example: Edson Machado, Milton Banana, Erivelton Silva, Márcio Bahia, Airto Moreira and many others.

[howitzerm777]

bossa nova...

[drumswack]

i understand the pattern is a little fast i tend to do that :P and starting with the hi hat was the way I learned, that and the kick. But whichever way you want to start to learn this pattern is totally up to you, i was just doing in ease for myself. Hopefully I will get new material up soon :) thanks for the comments though I appreciate it

[u2plan]

awesome

[aassyr1111]

i can do the hi hat and the bass patterns.....the snare rim i cant....somebody please help...

[jbanst]

I wrote down the notes and broke it off into sections and practiced it again and again and again. finally got it after a few days. doesn't sound as good, but I'm not as fast. practice practice practice!

[pascalpg]

find some samba sheet you will understand fast. its just not straight pattern alot of up beat

[AV3BMX1]

@aassyr1111 dont start with the hihat. do the snare 1st then bass. 4get about about the hihat 4 now. then dont do the latin rythem on the hihat, just do quarter notes on it. as u progres then u do the latin rythem

[scaredkiddie]

aww! at the end u should of done the right hand on the cowbell, that would sound sooo awesome!

[TheSkadrummer]

sweet vid man. nice. cant play at that tempo yet but im looking forward to it. thanks much

[gaiolawolf]

all the videos that i did watch today from non brazilians drums players were suck and this one too =(

[Alefeneves1]

Brazil show love !!!!!!

[ins7777]

Thanks!

This should drive me crazy for awhile. Looking forward to getting it down.

[jmzhn]

não conta assim! vc me mata de vergonha

[cabby4]

GREAT JOB BRO!!!

[MsFrle]

this rhythm is "bossa nova"

[aso209]

What kind of pearl sensitone you got?brass?.

[impact07]

throw in alittle feel man, its samba. dont make it sound so square. at the end when you freestyled. SQUARE!

[Argento1982]

it's difficult for "non-latin" drummers to "feel" these rhythms that way... The best way is to think them like "a sensation" and not like patterns.

But like rock music is like that, they play it that way.

[Orancube]

It's just that you need more independence for these beats then for 4/4 straight rock beats.

[Godsmack0Believe]

Do you think you could give me the sheet music or tabs for this? Id really appreciate it

If you do, can you add in the ride cymbol pattern with left foot.

[JeffersonMerida]

Hey man, good lesson! I only wanna to do a correction, if u let me. Forgive, but I'm from Brasil (yep, with S), and here we play not based ond 4/4, but in 2/4. If u find for brazilian REAL samba songs (forget Bossa Nova, is only a style inside Samba genre) like for example "Deixa a vida me levar" (Let da life carry me - I guess) from artist Zeca Pagodinho, u'll see that Samba pulses like this: one and TWO and, one and TWO and, one and TWO and, etc. Playing this way, u'll sound better. Cheers!

[drumswack]

Heyyy thanks very much I will def take that into consideration :)

[Argento1982]

here is the real thing dude...

[DarioAndreella]

@JeffersonMerida And what about that "non regular" thing going on, like there's always something late somewhere, that gives that peculiar caracter of traditional samba itself? Is there a way to "unmount" it, learn it and understanding it properly? Thanx

[JeffersonMerida]

@DarioAndreella

Yeah Dario! There it is. But to REALLY understand, u need to know the brazilian styles of playing percussion staff, cuz' Samba is originally played on Tamborim (little metal drum with high tuning), Pandeiro (a piccolo drum with jingles, mid tuning) & Surdo (similar to a floor tom or bass drum), and other instruments.

People tends to think the Samba 16th notes like tatatata, but is more like TA-tata-TA.

I'll soon do a video 'bout Samba and send u a message, ok? Cheers!

[volpegiovanni]

bah....this is not samba!!!

[Niamh23]

Nice introduction to samba, well done :) Beautiful kit aswell!

[Taphias1]

"Latin Beat Samba" ???

I thought Samba was Brazilian. =/

[drumswack]

The Samba is Brazilian you are correct. But Brazil falls under the category of latin countries. If Brazil is considered latin, then I can surely say that Samba is generally known as a "latin" style. Many people and institutions widely recognize styles like samba, mozambique, bossa nova, meringue, cha cha, afro cuban to be "latin" styles. You may clarify this on wikipedia or many other forums because I'm sure others have tried to figure that out :) Hope that helps.

[Argento1982]

There is argentinian samba too....

[yardiegyal08]

Coool!

[mhmm10]

Love samba beats....shows up anyone playin a rock beat any day

[spacitydrummer4JC]

Got that right. Anyone can get up there and play a rock beat. This stuff takes hours of patience and concentration.

[anibalisius]

really great lesson and easy to understand :D

thankyou

[DylanK811]

dang i wish my rim clicks were tht loud

[PainFullyUNcool14]

[drumswack]

oui :) just to keep things light.

[bigSheaD]

[zleepyjan]

[betoleonel22]

sou brasileiro e adorei sua explicação, sou iniciante e vou tentar fazer ao seu estilo, vc é um excelente baterista.

[yogibearx15000]
