Tormod Kayser - Downfall of Paris

This version of Downfall of Paris was from The Moeller Book. However, interpretation of the 7- and 15-stroke rolls was inspired by Norwegian folk drumming, and the two accents of the Single Paradiddle was according to Ashworth's (1812) System of Drum Beating.

id love to learn how to play this

Hi, and yeah! It is one great drum solo! Are you familiar with these rudiments: the Seven Stroke Roll, the Paradiddle, and the Flam? If that is the case you're on your way! Let met tell you this: It took me quite some time to learn it, and years of drumming has taught me to be patient. I learned the solo piece by piece, practising only a few measures at a time and beginning at a slow tempo.Then gradually playing longer phrases until I could play the whole solo. Good luck!

what kind of sticks were you using?

[Paradiddledrummer]

@thedarkwizardable

Hi, the sticks are made by Cooperman and the stick model is Greg Zuber "Samurai". Good drumsticks, the Coopermans.

For your information, November 4th My show titled "The Gene Krupa Story" premieres in Balingen Germany . We hope to have more cities in Europe. The USA dates have been very successful. You might want to see the promo clip on YOUTUBE, Gene Krupa Story 2011 ARTHOR....Good Luck....

Thanks for information, and good luck with the show! Krupa is certainly one of my absolute favourites, and I have spent some time studying his drum methods, which I find to be among the best. Not an easy drummer to copy, Krupa, I think, but the drummer in the video clip you referred to does i very well!

Hi, Thanks for kind comment! Funny, I used to own a drum book by Al Miller when I was a teenager. At that time I bought quite a few drum books from the USA and got them to Norway where knowledge of jazz and rock drumming was hard to find. Yeah! pick up the books and sticks and have fun!

[2LOUD2LOUD]

Excellent...... Thanks for putting this out . It reminds me of my 1st teacher Al Miller who was a NY State snare drum champ. I think I'll go in my studio tomorrow, dig out the old books and woodshed.......
