I am a big fan of this guy, but it's kind of boring to watch this solo on youtube
http://youtube.com/watch?v=T-WBAOgpK0w

although maybe it's just the trumpet player's fidgeting in the background that's distracting me.

I do like when "Boogie Stop Shuffle" kicks back in.

Haha, this is a timely thread revive. I spent a couple hours last night watching JoJo Mayer's dvd: http://youtube.com/watch?v=VLQMFIueUyc

The first disc is real talk, probably the best thing I've seen on grips, basic wrist/finger techniques, moeller, etc.. Then on the second disc he gets into all the push-pull/thumb swivel/crazy fast one-hand stuff, some of which is like science fiction to me. :( But it's good drum geek shit, it made me want to get into more of a definite practice routine. And the little interludes where he's playing beats outside in all these different NYC spots are nice.

that dvd is amazing. it's all hands!

but please destroy thomas lang and marco minnemann

^^^^^yes, i got those dudes' dvds on netflix, ugh

thomas lang is one soulless motherfucker

at least mm had that funny part where he's playing to simpsons samples

Then on the second disc he gets into all the push-pull/thumb swivel/crazy fast one-hand stuff, some of which is like science fiction to me.

Stuff like that quickly turns into chops as an end rather than a means, so I tend to tune it out.

chops as a means to a pair of leather pants

This may have been posted already, but I love this clip of Neil Peart at the Buddy Rich memorial show:

Somebody should show that to Joe Flaherty.

yeah, sheila e

Jordan, you didn't even say who else was on that youtube. Do you have that other lady's book?

I just watched that with the sound off and imagined what the 'shredder' guy would have done with it.

No jam block, no credibility.

re: neil peart, i don't know, i mean dude can play of course but he sounded kinda high school on the chart, and rockish at times on the solo.

no, she has a book?

The piano player. Rebeca Mauleón. She wrote The Salsa Guidebook for Piano & Ensemble. Check it out.

Peart does not swing.

I don't completely begrudge him for it - there are very few drummers who can both rock and swing - I think it's just the nature of developing the wrist/hand technique for one vs. the other.

It's the way you think about music.

i mean dude can play of course but he sounded kinda high school on the chart, and rockish at times on the solo.

Peart does not swing.

both OTM

It's the way you think about music.
Yeah, and if you think about jazz and listen to jazz you should probably be able to figure out how to swing a little bit.

Ken did you go see Sam Yahel Trio at Jazz Standard? B/C that was how I first heard of Mela, although I didn't actually go to the gig, just watched some Youtube clips.

Nice, that last clip made me look up a bunch of sick Conrad Herwig/Brian Lynch shit.

No, Hurting, I don't know from Sam Yahel, I just heard about Francisco M on another list, and then saw he was playing at Cachaça, so I went and checked him out. Maybe you should come with me one Sunday to see Chris Washburne at Smoke one Sunday, which is where I assume that last clip is from.

If you're in town, you can come too, Jordan, and compare notes with Chris about being a student of Richard Davis.

Still meaning to find a good Patato clip to post. I think there a few with him and Tito Puente, who is in every other clip on this thread.

Oh, nice! Wish I could go, but I probably won't be back in NYC for awhile. :(

It's every Sunday. They'll probably be playing next time you are around. .

That Steve Gadd/Giovanni Hidalgo clip...the hands and feet thing...so wonderful.

Got a gig in New Haven Sunday night. Ivy League poon.

Are you quoting one of your bandmates in an attempt to sound more like one of the boys?

Ha, in a sense. "Ivy League poon" is in fact a running band joke.

Now that I think of it, last time I saw Cristian Rivera and Chris Washburne they were playing with the Bobby Sanabria Big Band that Haikunym is always raving about on the salsa thread on the other board. Bobby gave Cristian the nod to take a solo and he was on fire. He kept on soloing and looking over at Bobby as if to say, "I'm in the groove, boss, I ain't gonna stop until you tell me the stop." Finally Bobby gave the signal and the rest of the band kicked back in.

This other guy in the next clip I happened to see the other day and I wasn't too into it. His band wasn't really locking in, and his own playing was kind of wanky. But see for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe15md7VFQQ. I wanted to stop around minute seven.

OK, I found a pretty good video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-_r1EvJ6q4&feature=related with the late, great Patato featuring Nicky Marrero on timbales.

Also check his Dua Lipa play through. Total charmer, that Chad Smith.

thx for sharing that ivy - love those drumeo vids

hate the drumeo channel and the losers who run it

ok! i have found them really helpful as someone who is mostly self-taught. they just did a "guess a drummer from their isolated drumtrack" thing and it was sooo fun

Also check his Dua Lipa play through. Total charmer, that Chad Smith.

These Chad Smith videos were awesome, made my day, thanks. I tend to agree with Jordan, although I might have said Flea was the only one I’ll really take, at least until today.

other drummers probably disagree but anytime I can play 4 on the floor I am doing that, it is the best thing to do with a bass drum

Ugh this guy is ridiculous. I've seen his videos but it's actually more impressive when he breaks it down. Nothing more humbling that keeping a simple ostinato going with the feet, see how much of your shit you can play then!

Always liked the syncopated 16th note bass drum fills (~14s-->), straight out of Bonham's "Kashmir" breakdown.

Walter Perkins playing the melody on a bendy ride cymbal @ 3:55

incredible

that's some of the earliest extended technique i've come across (but I'm no expert)

I guess it depends how you define that. Papa Jo Jones used to play with his hands and fingers and alter the drum pitch by pressing the head.

Only tangentially related but last week Greg saunier ended the deerhoof set by playing with his hands for the last 5 minutes or so. It looked very painful - he was thwapping the crap out of the kit

If I had to guess, what we call extended technique today is probably as old as the original vaudeville trap kits.

Yeah agreed, it was just deployed in more of a show biz entertainment capacity rather than serious free music sounds. Watching the likes of Papa Jo Jones & Sonny Payne it feels very playful and not beholden to the conventions of the drum kit (which is a truly ridiculous instrument anyway).

One of the purposes of the drum kit was to do live sound fx, so that called for all kinds of stuff beyond what we think of as standard playing today
