Drum geek sick chops youtube thread

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.

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
