That Drum Blog: June 2015

http://thatdrumblog.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Tuesday, June 02, 2015. Weekly Wisdom / Dig This - Yogi Horton. This is a post I wrote quite awhile back which somehow made it's way into the drafts folder instead of onto the blog:. 8220;There’s a couple of don’ts that I like to tell anybody that’s trying to come in to playing music. If you’re going to get a date and you think you’re going to be late when you take it, DON’T TAKE IT. If you’re tired, never go to work. Always try to take care of your body.”.

Wednesday, November 19, 2014. Groove Transcriptions - Kendrick Scott, "The Lost and Found".

That Drum Blog: March 2015

http://thatdrumblog.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Friday, March 27, 2015. 3, 5, 7 Exercise. There are a number of different ways you can use this concept. As I’ve been doing a lot of samba stuff lately let's start with that as an example. Say you’re working on some of the patterns from the Jazz Samba Builder. You’re comfortable with many, or all of the combinations, and now you want to start playing longer phrases and improvising. Applied to the previous exercise:. We can also achieve some great textures by applying this to the ride cymbal. Use the ...

That Drum Blog: October 2014

http://thatdrumblog.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Sunday, October 12, 2014. Transcription - Jack DeJohnette, "One Note Samba". Anymore, the seats on planes are so close together that you can’t even open a laptop far enough to see the screen. Luckily for me, I had an empty seat next to me on the plane to Tokyo and was able to stretch out and get a little work done. This album has special meaning to me. It’s the first jazz record that I clearly remember blowing my mind. And I mean to bits. You may remember this story from a. Eliane Elias Plays Jobim.

That Drum Blog: Solo Transcription - Larry Bunker, "Israel"

http://thatdrumblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/solo-transcription-larry-bunker-israel.html

Friday, July 03, 2015. Solo Transcription - Larry Bunker, "Israel". As promised awhile back. Here is a transcription from the great (and often overlooked) Larry Bunker trading with Chuck Israels and Bill Evans on the British television show Jazz 625. Philly Joe, Paul Motian and Jack D are some of my favorite drummers, but I can't help but. Bunker tucks himself right into the ensemble, not standing out too far, but certainly not disappearing to the background to be overshadowed by Evans. Larry Bunker also...

That Drum Blog: Staircase of Independence

http://thatdrumblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/staircase-of-independence.html

Friday, April 17, 2015. I once got into a bit of a debate with a reader of this blog, who, after seeing another exercise I had posted told me that "Life is too short to waste time on such 'exercises'". That made me stop and think for a minute. Could he be right? After all, we're trying to make music. Everyone seems to be obsessed with technical aptitude nowadays; sometimes to the point of. Detriment to the music. Why bother with hours of patterns and exercises? We should be expressing ourselves! You Be t...

That Drum Blog: February 2015

http://thatdrumblog.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, February 24, 2015. Escola de Samba Patterns for Drumset. If you visit the blog often, you'll know that last year I had four articles in Modern Drummer. Magazine concerning the adaptation of samba batucada rhythms to the drum set. Seeing as how the issues have been out for six months or more now, I figured the guys at MD. Articles I go into a lot more detail about each, but here I have a little sample sheet for you containing some of the characteristic sounds of Rio. Friday, February 20, 2015.
