Drum Lessons: Changing Genres

Submitted by King on Tue, 06/17/2008 - 13:40

Here is an example of applying one style of music to another. In this lesson I take a jazz pattern which is played on the toms and tweak it to fit a more aggressive style of music.....METAL! In doing so you start to see how one genre of music influnces another. Other such examples are Classical to Jazz, and Latin to Rock. ... read more...

Drum Lessons: Double Stroke Roll Fill

Submitted by ThatDrummerKid on Tue, 06/17/2008 - 12:30

In an earlier lesson we saw Keith demonstrate practicing the double stroke roll by accent the 2nd note of each double stroke. In this section I use that same principal to play it as a drum fill between my hands and feet. Without the addition of accents 16th note fills can tend to get pretty boring so I hope this adds some variety to your playing. ... read more...

Drum Lessons: The Double Beat Exercise

Submitted by ThatDrummerKid on Tue, 06/17/2008 - 12:28

Introductory exercise for drummers to work on thier double strokes which is essential for producing a clean roll. There are many different variations of this exercise but just about every drumline you come across has played this more times than they've cared to. It's sounds identical to the infamous drum fill to "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins. ... read more...

Drum Lessons: The 5 Stroke Roll

Submitted by ThatDrummerKid on Tue, 06/17/2008 - 12:25

A brief explanation of the 5 stroke roll. Most often heard in military cadences and various other marching parades, the five stroke roll is one of those rudiments you play without actually realizing you're playing it =) For some reason beginning drummers become intimidated by this rudiment because they feel they're roll sounds DIRTY. Just slow down and concentrate on the consistency of your DIDDLES and everything else will fall into place. ... read more...

Drum Lessons: Half Time Shuffle - Drum Lesson

Submitted by ThatDrummerKid on Tue, 06/17/2008 - 01:26

The shuffle beat is like Kung- Fu, there are many styles. Here is Keith to perform one of the more famous versions called the half time shuffle. You may heard this groove already from Led Zepplin's "Fool in the Rain". A great exercise to focus on independance, especially once you move from the hi-hat to the ride cymbal. ... read more...
