the quarter note is the heartbeat of music or at least the unit measure of music notation.....it's that pulse we must establish/feel and nourish. there are many good notation/theory books. email me at 247drums at gmail dot com for tips on which ones to get. THANKS Sergio visit

yo dog you dont work at berkeley thats bullshit because u didnt even spell it right lol

[sbellotti]

berklee is the correct spelling actually check out berklee.edu 

[Greenblackie]

But technique in turn gives better sound. If you want even better sound, you should learn good technique. Having good technique also gives you an advantage with speed and things of the sort.

[sbellotti]

again....when it's time to play fast i will change accordingly

[Greenblackie]

Your technique isn't that good.

[sbellotti]

sound is my only one priority!i do change techniques often and really do not care much about HOW do i get the sound i need? this is also how i teach my students.....

happy to discuss this more if you would like

email me at sergiobelotti at gmail dot com

[sanshuz]

depends on what kind hooker you get. LOL..........

[muszyngr]

Wow I'm so glad I did not go to the Berkley school of Music, LOL, this was not how to play a ride cybal, it was more of what is a ride cymbal, lame

[MetallicaKirkHam]

hahaha, this ride sounds absolutely awful

[TheSwirlyeyes]

how do you get a "ping" sound from a cymbal? some studio recordings of music have this really sharp sound as if hitting a cup of water, and the sound is really abrupt and doesn't have a drag.

[Ebamber3]

@masterblaster406 does that really matter if the video's about the ride? :P

[Loinkyo]

Could I ask if you could explain what querter notes actually are ?

And if there are any other kinds of notes, a possible demonstration too ?

[777Arky777]

Great advice, thanks so much! (I'm a drum beginner) ------ Everybody feeling entitled to diss people offering information/help should make better videos themselves instead of all this negative blah blah. In most cases, they couldn't do so, lacking the necessary skills/knowledge. Face it - if you ain't any better (technically, musically - as a person???), simply shut up.

@mikem376

learn some more about percussion before you use words like "tink tink tink"
