    Every time I think of checking out a new drum technique, I end up back at, "Ok, let's see what Rob Brown says and plays." Haha

    Great lesson, Rob! This is actually how the old school gentlemen taught, I believe. The late, great Chuck Flores asked me to play "some jazz time"... after a minute, he went "ok, too much Chapin book". He proceeded to give me two comping phrases per week, similar to these. Didn't want to hear anything else. After a couple of months, playing in an ensemble with a pianist who hated jamming with me, he actually went "hey men, that felt good - you've been working on your Swing?". Chapin's and similar methods must be regarded as "Coordination Books", period. Once again, great lesson as always.

    Very nice lesson; Rob’s teaching style is very practical, relaxed, and unpretentious...

    I've been playing jazz for years and I think the approach on this lesson actually works pretty well as an introduction for a beginning or intermediate player. Sure there's a lot more going on in jazz if you dig deeper into it, but amazingly enough you actually can do a credible job of comping with just these three licks. Simple but not simplistic. Hopefully it gives people some confidence in playing so they feel comfortable going on further with it, hitting some books like John Riley's "Art of Bebop Drumming".

    • @JonathanFosa
      @JonathanFosa 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Indeed a great approach from Rob. But if you want to learn all the types of combinations of comping including the "traditional swing" on the ride like we all learn in the beginning. (So not the eight note "basic swing" as Rob is playing here). Than you actually do need to invest time in the "stickings". Cause Comping in one way or another does request learning sticking patterns. In particular where the snare meets the dotted sixteen note in the swing. Very tricky in the beginning...

    Rob, great lesson. First time seeing you, I will view all your videos. I've been playing rock for 40 years. Trying to learn Jazz for my later years. I like your concept.

    The paradiddle-diddle is a very handy pattern when played as 8th note triplets for comping the jazz groove, starting with either beat 2 or 4. (right hand on ride, left on snare.
    Thanks for the lesson Rob

      @stephenmahlstedt8533 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I just tried this and I love it. I found myself repeating the same patterns often when comping, and the paradiddle-diddle mixes it up a little for me. Thanks!

  • @Domokoso
    @Domokoso 7 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    Very good lesson In my case i was pretty lost with the left hand at the beginning until i realised that it operates a lot like playing piano,
    where the ride was playing melody and the left was playing and accenting chords. You move that concept to the drums and it works perfectly. I also realised that the left hand was to support some specific notes improvised by the soloist. Cheers!

    Great relaxed coaching, no ego tripping getting in the way ! Great drum skills ! Wish I had a teach like you when I started in the late 60's . I mistakenly didn't take lessons, but practiced insatiably . Ten years later I was a sought after drummer for rock and blues , but couldn't figure out be bop even though I got pretty good at trad jazz . Get lessons and learn to sight read , I've lost a lot of gig money by not doing that !

    I started playing drums in late 50tes my main drum partner was Chico Hamilton he would come once or twice a year so far everything I'm seeing u do is exactly what I'd did to learn to play from the pad to the towels pillows tape Chico helped me make a carrier of it u in my view r so on point I will recommend u 2 every drummer I know what I'm seeing is exactly what I did to learn to play it brings back so many mimries

    That last one you show (third one) if you play a paradiddle-diddle starting on the 2 or 4 sounds just like that but with the swung ride pattern. In other words right hand plays the ride swing pattern while left hand fills the gaps.

    Hey man. First off all, thanks for this video, it has helped me a lot in the path of comping, this tools made a lot smoother my jazz playing. I was wondering if you have any other video where you go deeper in this subject or that you teach some more intricate tips and comping excercises. If not, it would be really cool if you made another video that goes around this subject.

    Comping figures are also based upon rhythmic motifs within the melody. Check out Haynes, Philly Joe, Higgins, Al Foster, etc. There's nothing random about it if you're playing the music, not just playing filler. You expand your comping vocabulary by practicing tunes,
