  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.พ. 2015
  • The second edition of the best-selling original Groove Essentials™ features a DVD with 53 brand new grooves and over 100 variations for intermediate to advanced players! Students will learn the difference between ghost and grace notes (while being encouraged to experiment with both in all six groove "families") as well as important "go-to" grooves, like the Train and Bo-Diddley beats. For more advanced players and professionals, GE 2.0 introduces the concepts of groove construction, interpretation and manipulation- training drummers to think like musicians in order to maximize their full potential.

    Tommy is one of the best drummers alive. He should get more attention in the drumming world I feel. Everyone is so hung up on certain guys and I feel like Tommy slips through the cracks, meanwhile when it comes to playing music he's on another level.

    With the hi-hat going a mile a minute, doesn't your left foot get tired at all?? Or do you stop the hi-hat and just use the ride, snare and bass?

    • @ivanpetrov4206
      @ivanpetrov4206 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      As I understand, the full secret in that to learn a little variants сliche of coordination for successfully imitation. For a start, do try to playing and concentrating on a movement left-foot (or right, if you lefthander) on a hi-hat. Thus you should play a wide movement (quarter) on "upbeat", not swing or move leg from side to side all eight notes.

  • @gw8278
    @gw8278 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Yes, relax. His main point of course. What he doesn't talk about is stick/finger/bounce control and the 5000 hrs of reps to get to that point. It's almost disingenuous to make a simplified point like this when there's a boat load of honest work to get to those tempos. But to relax is an opposing mindset, as he says.

    • @kirjian
      @kirjian 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      He's also not explicitly talking to beginners. With more experienced players, sometimes the key to playing better is a different perspective, a new approach, so that all the practice you *already* put in comes together nicely

    • @JoaquinCorreaDrums
      @JoaquinCorreaDrums 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      He also doesn't mention that at first you should just isolate the right hand, then slowly add the foot hi hat and finally the comping on snare and bass drum. It's totally disingenuous the way he tackled the topic. In fact one could say he avoid it completely.

      @jamarathonpolygon7735 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Swing can be different from a triplet feel, certainly at fast tempos but also at any tempo. The skip note can be placed almost anywhere between straight eighths and straight sixteenths as long as you are consistent in that feeling.
