Messing around on a funk shuffle (drums)

[torpedoboy4]

nice

[Hairyhole1]

0:29 is from the sims online when it starts up.. just thought id add that.

[Orancube]

wow that's really nice!

at 0:48 what do you play Just a shuffle but accent every first note of the triplet?

[GuitarHall]

Excellent

[pricesmithmusic]

i like the kinda "out of time" fills and whatnot.

and high five on the throwing the stick heh

[Drums4live]

awesome!!

[OdeToTheOcean]

nice drumming

[Slayer100]

lolz at the gospel commet. Thats some real nice playing.

[stratotanker518]

Are you throwing paradiddles in there quite a bit?

[cchhuucckk12]

coool !!

jha

[kwixset]

at 0:54-0:57 are you doing another pattern in groups of 9 - (RLRFFRLFF-RLRFFRLFF)?

[thatsmypeanuts]

You got it

[kwixset]

i believe you played that pattern starting on fourth triplet sixteenth note of the measure. with a LRL on the snare before it and a RLR after it?

[thatsmypeanuts]

That sounds right, although I think it's a RLF not a RLR at the end.

[kwixset]

yo dude, ive been trying to learn this stuff you do here and in your other video explanation of some triplet licks...that works good what you say about understanding it conceptually and practicing with the metronome.  now im starting to feel those changes. i can do what you do here until about 0:40. what are you doing at 0:40-0:45? thanks, how did you start to play these things?

[thatsmypeanuts]

Those are triplets in groups of 9 (RLRLRRLRL-RLRLRRLRL). I started to play them by sitting down with a metronome or a song on and just playing triplets, accenting asymmetric or unusual patterns like 4, 5, 7, 9, and forcing my muscles unnaturally to play them until I could hear the patterns and it became natural. No secret, just work! Thanks for the support. Check out my newest video on playing in 7 if you like this stuff

[Shlet]

This is realy good , love the rhythms! I'm a drummer my selft but i have a hard time with ghost notes, but you inspired me to practice more on it, because this is awosme! love from sweden.

[ppetracco]

Hot stuff!

[archaicedes]

sound real good

[sonicdrumrboy]

catchy stuff dude

[robthedrummer]

Nice stuff man!

[zeno300]

nice shit like the first rythm and as the quality thing goes sometimes the camera makes the drums sound different

[webstercat]

One suggestion, you can play but for a video you don't have to play all you know. Would have rather heard one groove. No groove because are trying to impress.

[thatsmypeanuts]

Appreciate the input. Actually, I called it "messing around..." to make it clear that it was going to be about some licks and not about grooving. Check out my other videos for a groove if you want.

[naedsukram]

nice!

[jeffhamula]

Can I sample your stuff?

[thatsmypeanuts]

Of course, thanks. I'm surprised you want to, the sound quality is kind of weak...

[thisdude96]

nice playing but dont they teach how to tune your drums too cause those toms sound like s**t but you do play good just learn how to tune

[naedsukram]

He's using a crappy camera mic, that's why it sounds awful, I bet that kit sounds awesome miked up!People like 'dimsunk' are running thru pre-amps/Pro Tools/eq/compression and good mics to create a separate audio feed.

[thatsmypeanuts]

I'd say naedsukram pretty much nailed what I was going to say, although no, they don't teach me how to tune. I actually think I know how to tune pretty well. My personal drumset has a completely different sound (check my other video) because I don't use it for jazz. Perhaps these drums are just not to your taste

[keysonyanosmilanos]

Damn, 1:47 is where it gets good :D

btw - is that a lil one-handed roll popularized by Johhny Rabb that ur adding in ur drumming there?

[thatsmypeanuts]

Thanks. I don't think so-- I'm not too familiar with his playing, and as far as the general "one-handed roll" goes, I don't have a clue how to do it. Perhaps you could tell me what part you're referring to and I'll explain what I'm doing?

[keysonyanosmilanos]

1:54-55 to B exact, idk wut kinda rolling ur doing but it sounds sweet :D

[thatsmypeanuts]

that's just unaccented 32nd notes on the snare drum w. left hand. no trick to it at all, just practice

[ZMoney99999]

Yo you sound real good man.

[thatsmypeanuts]

Shed with me! I'm like 2 hours away...

[ilvava]

very cool stuff man!

[jasincarlin]

Very, very nice brotha. very laid back. great transitions. very Zoro-esque if ya know what i mean. 5 stars from me.

[solais01]

Woah dude. You're real good.

Transitions are real smooth and all. What are the tom sizes on that badboy?

[thatsmypeanuts]

It's like a standard bop kit--shallow 12 inch tom, deep 14 inh tom with legs, shallow 20 inch bass drum-- with a 10x10 fusion tom added on the left. So I guess like fusion diameters on the toms, but in jazz depths, and a 20 inch shallow bass. I dunno exactly when it was bought, it's my school's, but it's Gretsch

[dimsunk]

Dude, Great Playing! I love how you go in and out from 6/8 to 4/4. Nice flowing feel. Thanks for your comment on my video!

[ommadawn]

Friend you are awesome.I like your style of fills very very cool.
