Funky Groovin July 07

Just another little video to keep updated on my progress. Nothing too amazing IMO. Improvement is becoming much more subtle these days. But I am trying to head towards a more funky style. Feel free to share your thoughts! Playing experience: almost 4 years.

@geekusadrummer

Thanks for the video, but you didn't cover that Cowbell groove in the end. Can you please tell me / or anyone who knows it the hand pattern? Is it RLRRLRRL ? Where are the accents?

[geekusadrummer]

@TripperDipper1 Looks like it's a stripped down version of that ride groove. Just watch that little diddle lick in the end...see if this helps: R R R R R rRLRll. The left hand during the first four eight notes, is doing the left hand side of a paradiddle. All notes ghosted except the backbeats.

[braino2000]

Those are kind of interesting sizes... Most drummers do 10, 12, and then 14 correct? Idk. Very nice drumming, those drums sound fantastic.

@geekusadrummer

Thanks a lot for the answer! I really appreciate your effort, but unfortunately I still don't get it xD I don't get where the left-handed strokes are, thus I don't get 16 notes to fill a 4/4 bar with 16th notes. Can you help me again please? :(
