Hey man, I gotta ask, what is the sticking for this pattern as you start using the ride bell? Are you playing triplets with the bell accent on ever other note or what ? Cheers man, great vid and playing.

[RespectTheGroove]

@Jackondrums18 The ride pattern as played by Dennis requires the left hand to lead the triplets through the bar. The clearest way to get into the ride pattern is to play a "R L L R" at the beginning of the bar and then continue alternating hands after that. Example (ride is the capital R): "r l l R l r l R l r l R l r l R l r l R l r l R"

your missing out a ghost note, the ghost on the snare is on both the second and third beats of the triplet subdisivion. its bloody hard though!

[RespectTheGroove]

@residentdrummerpete Good ear. Yes, I left out some of the ghost notes. I don't play all the possible ghost notes because the groove starts to sound too busy and a little bit mechanical to me. It's a personal choice.

[danieljanca]

where are the ghost notes that Dennis C. plays? or which part of your video is its description about?

[RespectTheGroove]

@danieljanca This is mainly about the 2nd half with the hi-hat/ride shift.

ive got the porcaro groove like imprinted into my muscles now haha...thats all ive been playing for the last couple of months, its addictvie

@EkayDrums The same thing has happened to me...I like straight (non-ghosted) grooves - but I also like the "rolling, fluid" grooves like the BP Half-Time Shuffle...also, Phil Collins - who used a fair amount of ghost-noting and fluid grooves (before he simplified his drumming in the 80s) - had some influence on me...he did a full-time ghost-noted shuffle on "Get 'Em Out By Friday", and he often used ghost-noted 7/8 grooves (e.g., 2nd half of "The Cinema Show")...

nice groove !!



[diadww2]

great sound of your drums!

[djmoscow]

very very nice, neat, tidy, precise and with nice feeling. spot on!

[170adamb]

brilliant playing, some people seem to think that if you dont play every single note identical to how other people play it your doing something wrong.If every drummer followed this way of thinking, the drumming world would be a very dull place

[anjoojt]

This is so good, it doesn't even make sense to my ears.
