  • This lesson walks you through the process I went through to get slick ghost-notey phrasing between accents over 16th note triplets. Fun stuff.
    The basic sticking for the first fill is R l l R l l R l R l l F over 16th note triplets.
    For the gear heads:
    Drums are YAMAHA PHX: 22, 10, 12, 16.
    Snare is a Dunnet Titanium with re-enforcement hoops inside.
    Cymbals are Zildjian; 20" K Custom Dry Light Ride, 13" hats (1980's new beat top, modern K bottom), A Custom and K Crashes,
    Mics are AKG/Shure through a Presonus 1818vsl recorded with Garage Band on a Macbook Air.

    I’ve been playing drums forever and taken thousands of lessons, but have never seen a more complete break down of a simple phrase, making it sound complicated and musical at the same time. I’ve had drum teachers, where you go through the routine of running through the books, do some stick exercises for an hour and never leave the pad , which teaches you absolutely nothing about applying it to the drums. I can’t believe I’ve never seen you before …Great stuff,

    In all of my years playing, I'd never made a conscious effort to take out a single stroke and insert a kick drum note in the middle of a diddle phrase or a long roll. That's a cool little nugget. Thanks, Steve.

I realized real fast, I gotta really get relaxed before I start fellin' it.

    @steve Holmes man you are a natural true educator. Thank you so much for giving me some nice extra ammo to work with. I already play in that style where I use lots of triplets ( what do you expect I am 61😎)but your break down of this phrase can be sooooooo useful in creating so much more to work with in musical contexts. Thanks a million. I have subscribed and already shared with my close drummer network. Respect ✊

    I went to a Steve Houghton clinic in 2010 or so and he broke down this right hand lead method of playing through the Ted reed book (swinging the 8ths of course, ghosting the left hand triplets). It opened up a lot for me and it’s become a staple for my more motivated students. Adding the bass drum in a systematic way like this is awesome and definitely not something I was able to come up w organically. That’s why we look to the greats like Mr. Steve Holmes here. What a slick player and teacher
