Rudimental Drumming of Argentina - Paso Carrera & Marcha Fúnebre
I bought a Z 22" light power ride new in the #80s. I bought this size and model because, I had read Tommy Aldridge and Joey Kramer were using this model and size. I still have, and use it today. 😊
Man, this is still an ubiquitous problem. I think one of the few drummers I've seen with proper blast dynamics is Blake from BTBAM. I saw Aborted and Archspire last night...blasts dropped right out of the mix. It sucked.
Some younger guys have told me they thought blasts were supposed to be ghost notes. Their favorite bands’ drummers are so bad at it they lost track of the whole point.
Nice! For double stroke rolls, should I open or close the gap?
Conventional wisdom says you’d close the gap, but really it depends on how fast you’re playing and what type of double you’re doing. There are a few ways to create a double.
@@RyanAlexanderBloom Yeah that’s what I thought because I use push pull for doubles, which involves fingers, and you mentioned how you should close the gap if you you use fingers. Thank you!
Nice. Waiting for an android port.
6,yrs after i left my initial comment, I actually got my old Paiste Rude back! I also had a 22in Earth Ride but just playing in my garage to music with my headphones there was way too much ring build up, I, believe the 20,in earth ride is what I will get next 👍
Learn push-pull and get good with it: then you'll ve able to play much faster without the need of a supporting rim :D Ramon Montagner is probably the best example if seen of that
Yeah you could do that. But it takes time. The thing about a good hack is that it works today. Right now. That’s why it’s a hack. It’s cumbersome to set up, but its instant success after that.
@@RyanAlexanderBloom gonna have to disagree on that. You still have to learn the gravity blast. Sure it's pretty easy to get the hang of but if you don't know it it's still a hurdle. Why not take that opportunity to learn something more versatile? I can understand if this is targeted at people who have a well established skill set and want to quickly fill a gap, but anyone who's beginner to intermediate should steer clear of hacks imo. But hey if you dig this hack don't let anyone stop you, just sharing some thoughts
I learned gravity blast in like 45 minutes. It’s extremely easy. I’m not saying not to learn push pull or anything more advanced. Always good to have options, but gravity blast can be nearly mastered in a week if you try. It’s so very easy.
👌🥰
Mmmm is like to say that mangos are better than strawberries. I have both for different purposes. And don't forget that you can use the other side of a bicycle throne and use it as a rounded one!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ALWAYS BE CREATIVE AND FOLLOW YOUR OWN NEEDS.
I have used the back side of a bike shaped throne before. Usually not that comfy because it wasn’t intended for that direction. I’m not saying you can’t use the bike thrones but you’ll always be slightly less stable. You’ll trade comfort for it. If that’s a trade you’re ok with then that’s fine.
Original 15” GIANT BEAT hats?
I do have 15" giant beats, though I don't think these are them.
Lol these are gimmicks
1, they work pretty well. 2, I tagged the video #hack and #cheat for a reason.
This was really helpful. Thank you.
I bought the 22" Z light power ride new back in the #80s. I had heard that Tommy Aldridge and Joey Kramer were using this model. I'm still using it today. 😊
Gravity Blast ... what a fukin name man, where the fuk have i been, lost in space by the looks no gravity there.... You bunch of Gravity blasters are crazy man.
I started playing drums one week ago and discovered that I can kind of slap the bell on the hihat side to side and get ridiculous speeds without a lot of effort. Surprised that wasnt amongst the tips shown
I’ve seen that but it doesn’t make the same sound, so it’s a good trick if you want that sound… but I’m specifically showing hacks that more or less produce the normal hi hat timbre.
@@RyanAlexanderBloom you are definitely right the sound isn't exactly the same. Thanks for responding!
my assumption for why the pads are so spaced out would be because, since the pad has no rims, its good to get used to clearing that much space to get from drum to drum. if they were closer together a drummer could get into the habit of sweeping too close to the rim.
That’s an interesting thought. It might be. They could put rims on them… I think the next generation of these heavy hitter pads is supposed to get some form of rim.
@@RyanAlexanderBloom that would be great if they did. theres a surprising lack of good tenor pads with rims that arent super expensive or sold by the scam artists at xymox
True. Tenor pads are massively expensive for what they are, which is just 5/6 basic practice pads. You can get a pad on Amazon for $14. Multiply by 6 and that’s $84. Tenor pads start at $200 and go up… I’d be willing to sort of spot manufacturers $20-$30 for putting them into a tenor configuration. So like $135 to start. But $200+ or even $300+ for some is crazy. For that they should have rims at least.
great comparison dude !
Its like me bringing my full stack to gigs. Doesnt make any sense. But it definitely looks badass😎
My band brings full stacks to gigs. It may not make “sense” to everyone… but there are some bonuses besides looking cool. Guitars basically don’t need to be in the PA system at all. Or only a tiny amount… depends on the size of the room. If you run cross cabs they don’t really need to be in the wedges either. That leaves a lot more room for vocals and kicks in there. Other stuff.
@@RyanAlexanderBloom i like them because i can actually hear my guitar.
I have the same one I up graded to 16 wire & used Remo coated control or Remo clear w/ black dot. I also replaced the top hoop it was bend. Got a 2.3mm Tom hoop put it on. Sounds fabulous with both Remo heads. With the coated I can get 3 different sounds and clear dot it really sings tuned high the crack is awesome. This is my main snare. I have a black Questlove snare 14” I don’t even use any more. Just for back up only. I also use this 10” with my Yamaha drums. I get a lot of great response from people about my 10 inch.
For people who missed this in the Manuel the screw holding the chain to the board has glue in it so you need to heat it if you want to loosen it, otherwise you’ll strip the screw
when rolling i use to play wtf to middle and stay there for like 3 seconds then roll down to wtf again
u can even do the grqvity on the bell of the hat
Based and brutal \m/
😍👏👏👏👏👏👏
In the words of 66Samus, "this little chode by ahead is only an inch and a half! HOLY COW!"
Interseting stuff here, for an American drummer living in Switzerland learning the Swiss tambour style. Two publications you may find interesting on the topic are "Wirbel" (German) or "Roulement" (French) published be the Swiss Association of Tambours and Fifes. It's very much in the military style you talk about, but also has elements of the Basler style. It has been translated into English and is called "The Swiss Drummer". I have another book titled "Zündstoff" with a red cover, that I was given by a Swiss tambourist, can't seem to find any reference to it online. It is also military style for the most part, but with more of the Basler "swing" style of playing included. Two things that you don't mention that I've found interesting and somewhat challenging are the Swiss right hand grip and the Ra de 5, Ra de 7, Ra de 9, etc. that start with flams on the first stroke of the roll. After almost 50 years of playing rudimental style using the "typical" American right hand grip, it was a challenge to switch to the traditional Swiss right hand grip for the tambour. With this grip, the thumb and index finger are not used as a fulcrum, and you grip the stick with the thumb under the first three fingers and rotate the entire wrist as with the left hand. The Swiss left hand grip is basically the same as for us Americans. The Ras where the first stroke of the roll is a flam was also a new thing for me, and I found it challenging to master. However, these seem to be quite common in Swiss rudimental drumming, and are present in most - if not all but the very basic - of the solo compositions I've seen and used with my students. As far as I've been able to discern, this is a technique unique to Swiss rudimental style. Anyway, thanks for the video!
I don’t believe I have either of those publications. Nor can I find reference to either. If you know where I can get one or both, let me know. Very interesting. Basel competitions are actually not swung anymore, from what I’ve been told. And the military has pulled in a few Basel rudiments. The styles are sort of getting closer together. As far as the right hand, it’s not unique to Swiss drumming. It’s pretty common in ancient continental European drumming systems. Also it’s quite similar to the grip described in Moeller. So, we Americans were doing something like that but we largely abandoned it sometime between the civil war and the 1920s. I’m sure we got it from the British. But if you look at artistic depictions of drummers from most anywhere in Europe before the modern era, they were all using that fist type of grip. And many places still do for their traditional rudimental drumming. It’s definitely different than how Americans play drums now, but I don’t find it as challenging as it would appear to be. Technique in drumming is important at some level but then again… not at another. There are so many variations in grip and people learn to play at a high level with a whole bunch of them. The flammed rolls are fun. They’re pretty common in hybrid corps style drumming but not as common as in Switzerland. They also appear in France, Italy, and Prussia/Germany to name a few.
I just watch the bounces when I pull them back and release them at the same time. One will go off the pattern and stop first. Just loosen that one and do it again till they match
Just learn open close technique.
You “could” do that with extensive amounts of practice. The gravity blast open hand thing works at a pro level after like 4 minutes of practice. That’s why it’s a hack.
nice licks
No comparison the 80s were better
I’ve got 2 rides and a hat that “match” from that era. Very useful for playing extremely loud.
I bought in to the marketing and bought a motorcycle style throne. I've tried 2 and realized its a horrible decision, for me at least. Going back to a round seat.
I was given a fife years ago. Take it out every now and then to give it a try but can never get any sound out of it. Even after watching some UA-cam tutorials
Might be the fife. It’s probably hard to master, I haven’t, but my kids can get a sound out of mine and it cost $15. It’s not even nice.
Worse is names like Shirley Murphy that have nothing to do with other Rudiment names!
Flam Five stroke Roll Hertas creates the Cheese. Why not reflect this? Elsewhere they do in names like the Cheeselet.
5 dtroke Roll Hertas is just another rhythem for a var of the 6-stroke Rool with 2 ending Single but both not accented, only the End stroke. Why different names for different rhythms or accents? Crazy!
Patty Seven is only 6 like Flamacue is really the Single-Stroke 4 Flammed with Accent on 2nd stroke, but often Shown with a 5th stroke being the Flam used to repeat the rudiment. Crazy to have one name for both!
Yes, lots of padding with actual rudiments! Inventing a new Name like Inverts (Inversions are stolen from Chird theory) for an existing rudiment is prideful.
If a Flam Flam is just alternating Flams, what is a Flam Double? 2 Repeated Flams? A Flam Tap? Or ? Naming crazy!
Inverted Flam Paradiddle-diddle is a Flam Paradiddle-diddle because the latter is repeated and they "changed" this to alternating in the former. Bad definition of Inverted!
So the Triplet Diddle Pataflafla is applying the Cheese-stroke to 1st & 4th dtrokes like Flams do on a Single-Stroke 4 (SS4) to create the Pataflafla - also incorrectly named because it really a Fla-Para-Fla, where Gla is the French name historically given for Flams and Para sounds like "Pair of" Single Strokes (SS2). Crazy naming!
Triplet Diddles are really a Cheeselet (Cheesed Single-Stroke Triplet) followed by a 1\32 note Diddle (show as a duple-slashed 1\16). Crazy naming!
Yes you will find many hybrids have the exact same strokes but their range with a different rhythm. And yet you will see on the charts usually one or two or three rhythms given for a particular rudiment, but they're not going to give you different names for each of those different rhythms, so then why are they creating a new rudiment name just because you change the rhythm?
It is crazy that they come up with a new name for whether they repeat one side of the rudiment or whether they alternate it. Like the single stroke 4 if it is alternated is now the outside or outward paradiddle because it is actually a paradiddle that is shifted forward or backwards depending on your perspective, into a new displacement of the paradiddle called a permutation, so that the diddle is actually broken over the beat line, or if you're at the end of a measure it would be over the bar line, and when you add an accent at the beginning of each of these single stroke fours, this forces you to play an inverted double (diddle) because again the accent has been moved to somewhere else then the first stroke, in this case there's only one place and that's the second stroke. Crazy naming!
Yes, people use the term Inverted very loosly - many to change anything. Ugh. Sometimes they shift the sticking, sometimes they reverse the sticking, sometimes they move an accent, sometimes and it just goes on and on.
Don't know if you will read this, but I've gained much from your work on rudiments. Im closer to finishing a revolutionary system on resolving naming & organization of rudiments to see relationships and aud in progressive study. Ive known these issues since 1998 teaching 5000+ students in person, and have taught the solution since 2004 but just getting around to formalizing it in print. Thank you brother! I wish my body could still play all this cool stuff, but i hope to help future generations. God infused me with rhythm from 8 on. It is a beautiful thing. Enjoy the music & drum pages on my channel's webpage.
I love this! How can I purchase a copy for my band in Wisconsin?
