ELVIN JONES PHRASE - ANALYSIS AND DEMO

I recently got the new Blue Note release Elvin Jones Revival: Live at Pookie's Pub, and was inspired to make a quick video about one of Elvin's favorite , commonly used phrases. Hope you enjoy the demo. I highly recommend getting the afore-mentioned album, it's absolutely burning!
Thanks for watching and please subscribe!

I’m here…. I’m baffled by jazz drumming but I’m here…. Watching in awe at the skills on display…..

[@porgie66]

Slow and steady!! 😁

[@claesblomquist3510]

Some fantastic playing. It's amazing how many variations there are within the same phrase and how much you can do with just a 4 piece kit. Thanks.

Now we are talking. That is stuff I am looking for. And the explanation works so well for me. Big thank you for sharing and the quality content!

[@rowintettero1255]

My pleasure, thanks!

[@Ds_Drums]

Thanks George. That was a very cool drum lick, Elvin Jones is great. Nice solo work on that kit as well.

[@kevinturner5857]

Superb thanks 😊

[@darry_lavis]

Thank you Mr. Fludas! I’ve always wondered how he played this; really inspiring to see and hear how he used really simple rudimental ideas to create a such wall of sound. Genius! Well played

[@jasonbone7033]

Keep ‘em coming!

[@bubuotis]

Great playing and sound, Sir. I wonder how old is that Gretsch...regards

[@MarioCalzadaMusic]

Thank you for this video

[@CharlesBeauregard]

Well played, thanks for the lick ! Also good tuning and great sound. What microphone are you using ?

[@midnightraiin4035]

thats really great !

[@brandonkindt1205]

Happy to see the Elvin analysis. As a rock drummer, I've always found his style to be a bit baffling.

[@mrelduce]

3:50 hes human after all. thank you for this video, your playing is always inspiring.

[@porgie66]

Oh yeah!

[@secrecysmith5001]

snappy fat sound, great!!!! extra punch instead of soft boppy tiny sound! but still jazzy

[@richardstardust2355]

What you play 1st, Starting (with the R-accenting first note) Paradiddle-L isn't that a variation on the 5 stroke roll?

[@porgie66]

I'm not really sure because I'm not playing a double stroke in the left hand. But it is five strokes
