  • In this free drum set lesson, "Drummers You Should Do This With Every Song You Want to Learn," I break down and demonstrate 6 essential steps to learning any song, with a specific focus on mastering bebop melodies. Using the bebop tunes Oleo and Dexterity, I show you how to approach and conquer these challenging melodies on the drums. This is a song routine I have all of my students go through and I know it will work for anyone else interested in mastering a song. This lesson, "Drummers You Should Do This With Every Song You Want to Learn" - is a foolproof method for learning any song you want to learn.

    Funny - I remember doing almost this exact exercise my freshman year with "Au Privave" in our Jazz Performance Techniques class. Our instructor was also the drum instructor and he would bring elements of that class into our lessons. That was many years ago and looking back on it, I wish I had been more humble and willing to take those lessons more to heart. Now I'm much older and very grateful to have these lessons from you!

    Hey Quincy, 🫵🏻 you smacked this lesson out of the park. My own issue has been practicing endless syncopation page 33-38 singing short and longs along with jazz ride pattern with feet, multiple ways with hands and feet. But they are just independence exercises and really doesn’t relate to any music. So now what ?? You open the skies up for me with this lesson. Now i understand the of the Real book for drummers 👏👏🙏

    Great lesson! I'd love to hear more about how you approach less beboppy material. I feel like a lot of the rhythms and phrasings of bebop tunes lend themselves very well to the drums, but sometimes I'm at a loss playing less rhythmic melodies. Just for example, I can think of fun ways to play the melody of Think of One all day, but honestly not sure how to make Autumn Leaves sound interesting on the drums.

      I know exactly what you're saying, been there myself. The one thing that came as an epiphany to me was something Vinnie Colaiuta said: "Thinking is the Enemy of Flow". When I play with the flow of the music, and not thinking about my next riff, the ideas come easier.

    • @drumqtips
      @drumqtips  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have a video on tuning actually. But the most important thing is to tune the drums to your liking but also to a tone that the drums are "happy". Well built drums with good quality wood are the easiest to do this with.

    I’m just wondering if you ever watch the “Ask Jeff Willams” Gold Mining channel; I ask because he also does the exact same “Let’s Goooo!!!!” Schtick on the front of many of his videos and as I am a jazz drummer who happens to find gold panning vids entertaining, I can’t help but compare you two guys doing the schtick the way I’d compare Kenny and Philly playing Oleo :-) What a meaningless comment, sorry about that Mr. Davis!!! I totally dug the lesson and I always “try” (operative word) to play the tune within my solos. And if I wasn’t already subbed, I’d do it right now! Cheers from Tokyo!

      Btw, on the topic of humility, I was lucky enough to meet Dennis Chambers for the first time as a grown man two weeks ago in Philly at the Ardmore theater. He was with my favorite drummer of my generation, Adam Deitch, and I just wanna mention for everybody reading this that both of these world-class drummers were beyond humble and amazing human beings. For those of the younger kids reading this that aren’t aware that Dennis Chambers is technically and rhythmically one of the greatest drummers of all time now you know. I met him at the modern Drummer festival when I was about 14 in the early 90s but it’s different as a grown man and really talking face-to-face and I could not have been more impressed with how amazingly kind, cool, and relaxed Dennis was. Adam was just the same! And Adam is one of the baddest cats on planet earth! With that said, there are professional players out there that are total idiots and lack any type of humility. It says a lot to be around the greatest players in the world and to be treated so well, and that’s what music is about!

    I’m sure you are concentrating very much while you’re playing but you make it sound so effortless. I’ve been wondering if you have done a video on set up? Things as far as angles of cymbals and drums, seat height, maybe pedal tension, and the reasons why. Thanks FP

      I’m definitely concentrating but I’m also trying to make sure I enjoy what I’m playing. Otherwise it’s just not fun to play even if it sounds decent. That’s a great lesson idea Frankie. I might try to do one in the next couple weeks.

    • @drumqtips
      @drumqtips  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The better you know the melody the harder it is for you not to hear it no matter what you’re doing. So even when you’re playing along with soloist and interacting with them that melody that you know so deeply and so well is ever present so I would recommend spending more time with melodies you are learning and I think that will help.
