    Play 8th notes at a very low volume with all four limbs in four different sound sources at the same time (hh w/foot, Bd, snare and ride for instance). try to avoid flaming and increase up and down one limb at time while keeping the other at low volume. Great exercise for Dynamic Independence.

      @@CHRISDRMS27 yeah I believe it's an older video because the one rack tom setup is more of his current setup but all he did was replace it with a 20 inch bass drum aka gong drum mounted on floor tom legs which is pretty cool though. I like the sound of big fat sounding floor toms but dynamically I still wished he just play his original two rack tom setup with the addition of the 20 inch gong drum. Now that would be a killer setup for him too play in my opinion and I hope he does it in the future✌

  • @Vigilant_Guardian
    @Vigilant_Guardian 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    there are four pillars of music
    melody, harmony, rhythm, and dynamics...
    0:59 ... and a fifth
    - intensions -
    what are you trying to say?
    as drummers we can play melodic and harmonic
    your intensions could bring in the harmony and melody
    and create an entire work without other instruments...
    example Neil Peart solo's studied, expanded, emulated...what he studied
    like Hal Blaine you can be a hundred different people
    but you must find yourself in there somewhere and expression is what separates decisions .

  • @Amigaudio
    @Amigaudio 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Too bad your audio engineer did not understood how important a dynamic sounding drumset was for this lesson, and his crushed dynamics (compressors) made ghost notes and hard hits sound pretty much at the same volume. They where distinguishable only due to their different characteristical tone, but volume wise, it all sounded the same.
