  • what kind of snare is that?

  • A Gretsch black brass... I love it!

  • Rick's Licks! Love the book! His video was cheesy, but that was the "90's". I loved watching him miss that cymbal hit in his into music. But, nonetheless, one of the best instructional videos out there. He doesn't spend time showing off, but teaching. I transferred my VHS to DVD and divided it in chapters according to the sections in the instruction pamphlet. I'm still learning a lot from it.

  • Yep it is one of the best books around... really takes time to figure it out... I never saw is video? I will see if I can get a copy... googeling now!

  • Thanks for the compliments... just hackig away here in Tampa!!!

    Yep... I just found the transcript... I learned it a while ago and changed it up a bit... cool groove... I just did it like Gratton w/ lh hh... the guy blows me away... the toughest study book I have used! Rick's Licks... get it!

  • Are you using the factory head on that snare? And yeah, awesome set.

  • Using Evans Power Dot - white coated snare head

  • There is nothing wrong with how he's holding his sticks. He's holding them French Grip (palms out) and really, the only wrong way to do something is any way that limits you from being the best you can be or that gives you pain or discomfort while playing.

  • AMAZING SOUND !!! i mean good tuning ...love it

  • the groove you play at 1:36 is very similar to the drum part from the Deftones song Passenger.

  • yeah nice groove mate u play real nice the ghosts are nice & dynamic gr8 drumsound too i must add!!.thanx for sharing!

  • I studied with Rick back in the 80's and he was a real character. This certainly sounds like him Scott! Good job.

  • Highly recommend to study Horacio's "Conversations in Clave" if one wants to master all this stuff.

  • I'm gonna practice this one tomorrow for sure! And now I'm definitely going to check out Rick Gratton....thanks for posting!

  • Hey thanks for the feedback! appreciated...
