Everybody Loves My Baby (with Extended drum solo)

www.traditional-jazz.com
John Petters Trio with Trevor Whiting, clarinet, Nick Dawson piano.
Another track from our fun concert at Harlow on 22nd February 2007
For the drummers watching, you will notice the tom tom intro is borrowed from Gene Krupa's Sing Sing Sing.
The solo starts on toms and developes into the double stroke roll before going on to the snare drum. A variety of rim and stick shots are used throughout with paradiddle beats between the snare and toms. The Krupa hi-hat/snare solo extract as demonstrated on my tuition clip, comes slightly unglued as I raced the time somewhat. Jazz is not a perfect art and this was a live show! The solo then builds into the single roll triplet GK was so fond of.

What a swingin' trio, I love it! You need to come to Idaho to the Sun Valley swing festival so I can see you live, and dance to your swingin' beat!!!

[johnpetters]

Thank you. we'd be delighted to come!

Amazing! I love that style of music - I want to learn how to play like that. It has a great feel to it. How did you learn to play like that? Any books/rudiments/exercises that you would recommend that would help me get there. I love swing!

Sorry just found this message. The Gene Krupa Drum Method, which you can get online has all the rudiments and some of his solos transcribed from the Video Gene Krupa Jazz Legend.

I'm playing mainly paradiddles and single triplets in the solo. You need to absorb the music to get the fell. So you need to study the great drummer like Baby Dodds, Zutty Singleton Krupa etc. Daily practice of the rudiments is a must. Keep swinging

Nawlins jazz clarinet kills me. Sweet fucking drums too.

[pinkpikpiks]

great use of rudiments and keep studying Gene Krupa's incredible style of drumming. There is some sweet technique you can get off him.

Dear me, we have touched a nerve. I see you are still not able to string a sentance together without swearing though. Also, this is from another fan nothing to do with John Petters, although I am sure his views on your comments would be the same.I wont even bother to comment on your socal skills, other than I am so glad that I do not move in your "social" circles.

[LobosDrums]

may i suggest you not attack anyone who just gave you a fucking compliment, and not be a complete asshole to someone who likes the music and enjoys your drumming enough to post a comment thanking you for posting that vid. i was inspired by the vid but by your actions, now i'm just angered that some people can't take a compliment. oh well, you probably don't have any friends because of your poor social skills, so for that, i feel sorry for you. have a great life douche bag
