That’s a fact!!

@@MarkFeldman I've been a fan of Vinnie Colaiuta for some time. I'm most blown away by his time with Frank Zappa.

his time w Zappa was incredible!

@@HarryMorgan-j5m thank you Harry!!🙏🏼🙏🏼

@@rayboreham2648 thank you Ray!

@@rayboreham2648 thank you so much, Ray!!

you're welcome!!!

you're welcome!

yes! What would Ringo do is a good way to think of this.

@Enzo-M_D thank you!

Ha ha ha! Baloney is the secret password. So to answer your question, the way to work on any of this stuff is to write it out first, and then play it very slowly while counting the mnemonics out loud. that will solve all the problems of getting used to a pattern, understanding how it sits within the time and knowing where you are in the phrase and the time while maintaining the “weird” pattern.

ha ha!!! Yes, the inside joke works!!! thank you. hee hey

Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

You could very well be right about that, James! That is an album that I've listened to soooooo many times.

Oops Sicily is on Friends, such a wonderful album!

@@jamesreinking7378it is. And another one that I’ve listened to a billion times!

thanks Bobby!!!

Yes! Whatever works for you my friend!!

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching, my friend!

Hi Ray -thank you. I can’t take credit for the idea…. The great Clark Terry is where I learned it…. But it is a powerful concept!

Hi. Sorry about that. Noted. I will watch out for that in the future…..

Hey Nick! Thanks. In Wilcoxin's book, Modern Rudimental Swing Solos, he calls it : "Single Drag Version #2"

Thank you Ray! Enjoy! I'd love to hear about your thoughts once you dig into these!! -MF

Thank you!

yes. I was playing a little bigger kit recently and when I switched back to just four drums last week, I was happier!! thanks for watching, 🙏

It's always possible to just orchestrate the rhythms of very specific fills in different ways....you can assign the notes to different drums. If I want to replicate the vibe of a fill that has a lot of toms on a four piece kit, I might just work the bass drum in. For a fill like "in the air tonight," I might play : RLF RLF RLF RLF RFLF or something like that and use mostly toms. That being said, if you were going to be in a Phil Colins cover band for example, you'd probably have to add the toms and replicate his set up. Ditto for Rush or Zeppelin or anything else where you have to be "truthful" to original artist's voice.... I hope that helps.

YES!!! Do it. I can't wait to hear it. Thanks for the kind words and for watching my stuff. 🙏🤓🥁

You are mistaken. I can't tell you how I know you're mistaken because that might give something away, but I know for a fact that you could not have chosen the jack of spades

Well you asked me to pick a card and that was my choice, how can you guarantee a singular card when there are 5 to choose from?

@@richardworaker8090 I shall not debate with you my friend. But I do appreciate you watching the video 🙏🏼

hmmmmm...... Those are the same cards in the whole video. I didn't switch them out for any other cards... if you watch the video you'll see that the cards are always in view and there are no edits

If I somehow switched the cards that would be magic! (I didn’t though) 🪄🧞‍♂️

I will never tell 😉

@stefanolondi6143 - Thank you, Stefano. Much appreciated. 🙏

sure sounds like you're spamming me here

Thank YOU!!! 🙏

Yes, the crash is on the following “one.” I’m so glad you found this helpful. How is the “pro sounding drum fills” course coming?

@@MarkFeldman Hey there - well just figuring that ONE thing out has made the WORLD of difference for me. I supposed I should have figured it out already, but it kept on confusing me. It would completely throw the count off for me. I've gone over this video many many times (and embarrassingly number of times), playing along with it, and I think the penny has finally dropped for me!!!! Yeah. I had kind of lost the plot re: the "pro sounding drum fills" course - but I think I'm back in the saddle now. Many thanks!!!!

CB - I’m so glad this is helped you!

@@cindyburnes8226 By the way, if you have questions re the Fills course, feel free to email me.... 🤓

@@MarkFeldman Will do. I just need to log back on and get started again. This short video has really helped me understand some things. So now I'm going to look back over those videos. AND, of course, I did recognize a few of the fills here 🙂

Thank you Charlie!!!

Thanks Laurence! I’m really glad you found it helpful. Please subscribe to the channel ! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hey @GeoffGillDrums ... Thank you so much for your kind words. When you say 3/3 are you talking about right hand/left foot/left hand/right foot? Yeah that’s a killer killer lick much overlooked difficult to play clearly the coordination is sort of strange at first. Anyway thanks 🎉man I really appreciate your opinions!

Interesting… I don’t use that technique but whatever makes those two fast notes comfortable …you use…

thanks Max

Thank you 😋

Thank you Charlie!!

Thank you CD! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thanks 🙏🏼

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Mike - I can't tell you how happy this made me. Thank you so much, man!

Hey Thanks for checking it out. My school is called BANG! The Drum School

yes! Soooooo many possibilities with this!

Get lost

@@MarkFeldman I'm sorry dude I didn't mean to call you old, u actually do got some good talent

Ok, thanks I think

@@MarkFeldman can u solve it? I actually learned 3 months ago and can do it in 22 seconds!

I can’t do it that fast-- I’m at about 4 minutes! 22 seconds--that’s fast!

Philly Joe -the quintessential jazz drummer of his era. Definitely hugely influential for me.
