As far as I know samba is a Brazilian music played on percussion instruments not necessarily drumset. He plays the hi hat on the downbeats because he chose to. There's no right or wrong in music. I think it feels and sounds great with the hi hat there. It sounds great on the &'s also. Learn to do...

I play drums in a rock band around clubs in Detroit. I am looking to buy a monitor so I can hear my vocals and also send a drum machine thru to add electronic percussion while playing acoustic drums. Do you think this will be loud enough and also what about bass drum running thru it. Will it dist...

Could I daisy chain this to 2 other floor wedge monitors in a live situation. I am a drummer looking for a good monitor but dont want to lug around a big floor monitor. I would be running a drum machine at times thru it so I'm not sure it will handle bass well enough.

If I use this live with my acoustic kit for percussion tracks will the headphone output be loud enough to not get buried. I have an old Roland drum machine and the problem is there isnt enough volume to hear very well. I really like this machine. I like it much more than the SPD-30. I am new at u...

What are "gospel chops". How do I know when I am hearing a gospel chop. So if I listen to Dave Weckl or Vinnie Coliauta what type of chops am I listening to. I always thought that chops are chops. Someone please enlighten me.

@leooooo29 No he didnt.

@mikper7 And play with Led Zeppelin and revolutionize drumming. Just because you can copy someones ideas doesnt put you at their level. John Bonham came up with these ideas to fit the music of Led Zeppelin. Thats where the talent is. Playing music in a great band. Calling John Bonham overrated is...

@jordanjcm Just an observation. Take it for what its worth. I've learned alot after playing professionally for 40 years. I've seen good results from these tips but ultimately it's up to the player to discover his or her comfort area. Some people just don't realize how comfortable playing can be u...

Anybody notice he's not playing the drum part. The cowbell starts before he is ready. I wonder if he always did that live. That is such a difficult part to get power. Great drummer even so.

@genecrewbar You are right about that. Elvin was doing that stuff in the fifties. He used to use the so called Bonham triplets alot long before any of the Rock drummers ripped off that lick. RIP Elvin

@DarkLightnessness Well said. I belong to the human race. Thats the only race I associate with.

I love how they listen to each other and finish the idea of the other one. Thats called music. Not just spewing all the licks you worked on.

@POP3Y3 I completely agree. I play in Big Bands, straight ahead jazz, and a classic rock band. I only use Trad to play brushes. The first 15 years I played was with trad and the last 25 has been matched. To me matched is the most natural way to hold drumsticks. You can learn to play any way you w...

@ireternalexistence That is a excellant point. His drum parts were very creative as were many drummers from the 60's and 70's. Record companies and drums machines put an end to that unleashed creativity. If you want to learn to play rock music well listen to all the greats from the early days of ...

Very cool, I love the vibes

@J04n8AK3R I also love this record. I cant say which is my fav because theyre all so good

I never realized how good his bass drum technique was. Great hands and feet. AWESOME

The Vladimir Horowitz of the drums. There are many great players,but Buddy stands alone. His technique on the instrument is unsurpassed, but the thing that people really miss is that he could drive a Big Band like nobody else. Even if you could duplicate his chops ,playing wiht other musicians is...

@IfIfsandands You are so right. Everyone has evolved from others. Thats why I feel its important to listen to many different styles and take what interests you and expand on those concepts. Isnt music incredible. Its another language where we can say what we want.

Dave Grohl is hilarious.

Bad advice. Practice singles with a metronome or drum machine and play relaxed and even everyday and you will get faster. It takes many years of playing to achieve even pro sounding singles. Just a lot of hours. ALWAYS PRACTICE RELAXED. HOW YOU PRACTICE IS HOW YOU WILL PLAY. NO SHORTCUTS. I WISH ...

How come this drummer aint on the cover of Modern Drummer. He is as good as anybody out there. Chops from outer space.

Wow its amazing how many great musicians there are that are not well known. This drummer is as good as they get. Awesome.

These people have no clue what life should be. How sad to weep for a tyrant.

That is fantastic. Great sound and touch. Masterfully done.

The melody comes out clear. How cool is that.

Body and Soul

@JAARNO88 Like the man says, everyone has their own way of playing brushes. There is no right or wrong. He sounds great with great feel. That seems to me to be the bottomline. Thats all that matters

Roy is so cool. What a great talent.

@memehame3467 Well said and very true.

Just an incredible musician Ari is. He transcends the drums. He is a musical force. Amazing talent.

I know 4 year olds that play better than him now. What an arrogant dipshit. Dont call yourself a drummer when you cant play shit. Youre a disgrace to music

Neal couldnt swing if his life depended on it. Then again Buddy playing rock is about as interesting as the sex life of plankton. Different players but both legends in their respective genres. But soloing there is no one better than Buddy as far as I'm concerned. You could spend your life practic...

Hes just taking peoples money. They're just too stupid to know how much bullshit this is. Terrible Ted. Aint that the truth. No shit
