i also started out on guitar first lol
Funny how that works right?
yeah infact i still do guitar nowadays@@Jameson-Scriver but its crazy cos then when u go back to ur first instrument its like u approach it differently. like i went from guitarist learning drums to drummer learning guitar
youtube rec workin well today
you look like him a bit too lol
great....thanks
cool!
Hey man, this is absolutely amazing. I think intuitively I was already doing something kind of like this, but did not realize it. I will make this my default way of thinking about it now. Thank you for this, I also really like the format you are using. One take, almost no editing, it's great, feels like a real lesson
Glad it served you my man! 💪🥁
Interesting perspective. Just to add a point, I also think part of the reason why people don’t learn the way you’ve outlined is because they’re not aware that this is the way the masters and next generations (I think of the Marsalis brothers) learned as well. Outlining my own experience would be too long for a UA-cam comment haha, but one more thing I would add is trying to find a mentor figure/teacher who holds you accountable but also encourages you really helpful. I think going to a jam session without knowing how to play, at first, is a bit of gamble. I wish we were all more kind to people learning the music, but alas. Interesting video!
Great video! I feel like the way you laid out as the ideal way is pretty similar to my journey in jazz drumming. I started playing jazz after playing other genres for about six or seven years, so I already had decent coordination and everything, but when I got to college and started studying jazz my professor Entirely focused on listening and creating a feeling, not the technical stuff. I was also in big band from the very start of my learning process. Then I started to transcribe and work on coordination after starting to understand a little bit of what I was trying to accomplish Even now my professor advocates for learning how to create a feeling instead of learning exactly the phrase that someone else played. And now I am leading my own jazz group that gigs around pretty frequently
Not to mention I played my first ever paid jazz gig only about three months and two studying the genre with some of the best players in my city, I was holding on for dear life
Awesome! Keep going 🥁💪
This is very cool!
This is what we want.your last two posts have been soooo helpful, unlocking the mystery behind jazz 🙏
So glad to hear 👍
I am exactly what you described; fearful of playing with others. You've got me convinced to start jamming!
You got this my friend! Get out there and tell me how it goes :)
Really interesting and very clever. Thanks a lot from a French drummer :)
Happy to help!
Great job....many Thanks from France
Glad you dug it!
Nice playing, boss. Subbed.
Glad you dig it my friend, much love
Yesss
I love this style of gentle touch drumming.
We don't get enough lessons like this on you tube.... Brilliant thank you.... More please 😊
Great subject, this makes a lot of sense, especially for those venue's that unmiked the drums sounded way different enough to through me . Your commitment to this wonderful instrument is very inspiring.
Man, my life story. 71 now and still playing but it was (is) one helluva long road to feel "free." I had developed this pain in both wrists/arms/fingers. I tried it all...ice/heat, wax treatments, hypnotherapy, acupuncture, cortisone, tons of aspirin, ibuprofen, doctors, including the doctor that treated Max Weinberg in New York (flew out from West Coast) but after losing drumming jobs and quitting for a couple of years I found my way back by studying technique with Murray Spivack and discovering ART (Active Release Technique). I do hand and arm stretches at least once every day.
I feel you Steve, glad you are still goin!
Thanks, and best of luck to you!
As a MT and a hobbyist drummer, I am thankful for your video. I had both a wrist drum related injury and a MT related muscle injury in different periods of my life. One needs to take some time off, pain is there to protect us. Myofascial release techniques help a lot, rebuilding technique from the ground up is helpful. Listen to yourself, have fun, breathe, learn to relax. Practice to 75% of your capacity and not to 150%
❤️🥁💪
@@Jameson-Scriverby the way, acupuncture and foam rolling really help as well. Acupuncture takes pain and inflammation away, foam rolling breaks down scar tissue - dry needling as well. Taking vitamin B complex and homeopathy may also help - give them a shot
@@xgreco love foam rolling. Always wanted to try acupuncture, physical treatments are basically a hobby for me at this point 😂
"Practice to 75% of your capacity and not to 150% " seems a very wise observation.
Hi Jameson, I like you! Yesterday I made some Drumcovers of Buddy Rich.. Thanks for checking out!
Very cool Daniel
The "fmelody feed back loop" sheme is such a great idea.
Don’t hit to hard,lighter sticks,get a good teacher.
*too
Very well done. A structured lesson. Clearly and easy to follow. Thanks I‘m off band these days so I can concentrate on similar things. Different basic rhythms put into a 2/3/4/5 bar phrases. And I‘m always write things down. I assume you are as influenced as we all by Buddy Rich. I am interested to know what stickings went into your playing ..? To me it‘s always refreshing to see/hear him play. (Not copying Buddy but put things into my own style.)
When does this happen in the tune? I can't find it. Thanks
Make sure you’re listening to the version from “four and more” it’s the first break in the melody about 15 seconds in or so
@@Jameson-Scriver Found it - thanks! I was listening to the wrong version :)
so like shud one try to hit as fast a spossible to get great touch or try to hit only the exact bpm u at .. great lesosn but this punchlined cud be clarified brother. blessings
not that simple! They are spectrums to be managed, not an on/off switch. Depends on context.
This is BRILLIANT!
Ok, im a drummer who has long learned how to play drums quietly. But! The elephant in the room hasnt been addressed. Playing drums quiet reduces an expensive snarw drum to the quality not hitting A4 paper held infront of you. The drum has a wooden body and two drum heads(batter and resonant) which all contribute to a quality tone when activated properly. A drum is only a drum when its oscillation is registered. Anything less is subpar and even worthless. Why isnt this riscussed anywhere by the way. Drums have a specific build and construct that requires a certain force to be properly sounded. Piano press rolls are dynamic exploits or the deums but not the standard. The fact that bands ask deummers to play polite and shy is to not hear drums in youe musuc at all. Prince was a great writer of kusic right? How quiet were his drummers? Just asking
he is tlakign about pop corn rim shot sn shit
n time not hardness.. can hit normal velocity hard. not rushe dor whatever..
There aren't rules. Drums are complex instruments. Use its entire voice.
@@PrinceAsmodeus human invention saw the creation of laws of physics. Whilst in principle I agree there are no rules in our reality I cannot but see rules. Most teachers will train you to first learn the rules and then break them. The philosophy behind this being, learn what tradition and past culture built for you today prior, and then expand and evolve further yourself after. Rules can be unwritten and yet, in the deepest understanding of human philosophy, one can see that without having invented the wheel one could not possibly give them self full credit for today's iteration of the wheel. Universal rules exist , see gravity for example, but this doesn't mean individual cannot happen but it happens within the frame work of rules. Pianos are tuned for a reason and honky tonk pianos are no longer enjoyable to listen to unless the musician has good enough invention. There are rules I'm afraid and the study of physics has shown such with measurements of hertz and precise tuning
@@brianmcguire5175 I dont disagree entirely. Unfortunately, volume/force is often just a dictate of venue and context. Drums definitely sound "best" at a certain level of energy. It's just not always a practical reality
Love the tone and double strokes A real mixture
Dynamics and tempo are completely different things. Dynamics are how loud/soft/harsh/smooth the sound is. Tempo is..... well it's just the timing.
Real talk! Thanks for this… this is very much an area in which I struggle. Hate to say it, but wearing hearing protection (mandatory for me) makes these issues even more complicated.
Totally! I practice with hearing protection and adjustments have to be made when switching to my bare-ears
This is one of the marks of a skilled drummer,if you can play from pp to ff in the same venue., and still play well, When I see that drummers in smaller venues have to be in a plastic booth or shield. It’s because they don’t know how to control dynamics. I have had people say “ oh no drums on this gig please, they will overpower the sound we want. This is because they have worked with the many drummers that just don’t know how to control their dynamics.
Totally! When people ask for brushes as a way to control dynamics, very similar problem. I get them out and slowly switch back to sticks, they never notice ;)
The most effective way to get touch is being able play anything at p with sticks. Finger control and Moller help. Be able to play under acoustic guitars..
Gold info! Nice personality) Instant subscribtion)
We got to learn how to get out of our own way sometimes😅
Amen!
Such a underrated concept to practice. I Guess it applies to many styles too not just jazz. Awesome content Jamie
Are you in the Northeast? Pa NY NJ etc? Love to come up for a lesson
Chicago. But I help drummers online. Would love to meet ya
So nice🎉
Top notch vid! Thoughtful, useable, concise, well presented. Thank you!
Thanks for checking it out!
I really needed this information to be narratively articulated the way that you did and I’m very grateful for your personable qualities along with your technical analysis.
Awesome, thanks for the feedback and so glad you enjoyed
You're the first person I've heard discuss the way the acoustics and feel of the venue psychologically and physically affects your playing. Subscribing. Thank you.
Awesome thanks for checking it out and glad you dug it!
Keep making this content. It's great! Very insightful. Thank you.
Will do 👍
