Hey Brandon! ahhh flams, you made that loook easy when also getting the kick involved & changing it around, man takes a lot of body co-ordination, definitely now on my practise list, thanks for that. Yea that Dave Grohl intro, short simple & sweet, he bacially taught me how to drum :) His intro to A Song For The Dead has a few nice flams. So where do chops fit into all this Brandon? Are rudiments & chops kinda related? I really want to master my chops but not sure how to go about it. Are they really just different combos of paradiddles? I've recently been watching Zach Grooves drum channel here on utube, as he's really popular for his chops, so that's been helping me get a start I guess. Thanks for the time you put in your videos.
Ahhhh yes...chops. You ask a great question. The first thing to do is define chops. Is it what Zack does? Is it what Dave Growl does? What I'm guessing you are asking here, it is what Zack does. In a nut shell, yes, he is just playing combinations of singles and doubles and some flams. Then linear patterns around the drum set at high rates and moving between subdivisions. And there are a lot of people on TH-cam that will show you combinations of stickings that will equate to "chops". What I would suggest is get really good at moving through your rudiments and then start applying them to the drum set. Also, like in my paradiddle video, practice playing them between your hands and feet. Once you master them, then increase the rate at which you play them. I would suggest, and this is something I talk with my students about as well, have a serious talk with yourself about what type of drummer do you want to be and what do you want to do. From there then start practicing for that thing.I will say this, I have never been hired because I can play a mean drum solo...I hope that helps! And thank you so much for being engaging and asking such great questions!
