  • Chris attempts to learn the BD 18 snare break from Of Dreams and Nighthawks, but it's a little more challenging that he expected...

    Hi Chris... The "pug-a-das" like you called them are:... the line came up with the name "Echo's" It's something I messed around with in some solo work... The line liked them so I put them in the book... The line originally wanted to call them "Scojo's Squirts) I said NO !!! :-)

Complimented my playing as a fellow drummer. Made me feel honored hearing him say that to me when later I found out who he was. His band’s name is “Droll” check em out when you can🔥😼

Sometimes if something seems hard I at first think I can’t do this but then by breaking it down I start to get the hang of it. You really make learning and breaking down DCI Drumline music a really fun and humble experience for all percussionist from beginners to experts

    I like hearing your thought process as you work through these lines. You learn kind of the same way I do (only much faster!) 1. Determine the "feel" of the section (accents, dynamics, and sticking without worrying about flams, diddles, etc.), 2. Scope out any rudiments (so you can put those parts on autopilot and not have to think about them), 3. break down anything with complicated timing, and then 4. focus on the stuff in-between. Does that sound about right?
