Having Fun With The Beat (OTT drumming by Jouxplan).


-- I was inspired by Joe Crabtree to attempt this. To see it done properly, you absolutely MUST visit his YouTube page (pfefftube) and look at 'More Drumming' -- it is simply wonderful to watch. Alternatively, look at the 'favourites' on my Channel, and find it there. Anyway, this is all about trying to mess about with the beat, but at the same time staying in the groove. Yeah, right! It's bleeding hard, and I must have spent weeks trying to do anything worthwhile! You got to just improvise as you go along, and hope for the best. Joe's version just blew me away, and I wish I could drum like that -- it is the coolest drumming I have ever seen. There are some obvious bad moments in my attempt, but you get the general idea. I am well aware that it does not groove, that some of the fills don't pop out at the other end in time etc etc - the point is, its great fun trying! Hope you enjoy! The track is called 'Brotha' and is by Angie Stone, off her Mahogany Soul album.

Drum Lesson: fun with 5s & 7s on the practice pad.


Maybe it's just me that thinks stuff like this is fun :) It certainly gets your brain working. For reference, when you accent every 4th note of a seven note grouping the accent pattern goes: 1,5,2,6,3,7,4 - then repeats. Accenting every 3rd note the pattern is: 1,4,7,3,6,2,5 Have fun!

www.joecrabtree.com Yet another Vinnie thing... I heard on a live version of Englishman in New York and had to work it out. It could come in useful in certain situations. It's certainly satisfying to play. I particularly like that it's a kind of standard 6 stroke roll sticking but playing the last 6 notes of an 8 note group. It's good practice starting licks in different places in the beat. I'm sure there's lots you could do to expand on that concept.
