That K is raging . Sooo cool . That you use & explain these techniques with musical goals is something often lost on the internet. Thanks too for referencing the great Mr Williams .
Great playing man, wow. I think I just needed some reassurance to spend extra time on that push-pull shuffle ride pattern. There is so much room for growth in the right hand, everyone should see this video. Cheers!
I really need to practice that push pull more. that technique has always been an extreme challenge for me. Super inspiring when I see someone do it well.
Man, you are so... effortless! Amazing. I've been working on this technique pretty hard for over a year now, and it's really hard to get it over a certain tempo. And then, I can do it by itself, but holding it down while playing a groove, that's a whole 'nuther challenge! Good demo, great technique, thanks!
It’s worth mentioning that many metal drummers use push-pull for consistent and stupid fast ride and snare patterns. Like 300 bpm 16th note patterns. With that aside, *what a beautiful drum set, truly just stunning in every way. The lush sounds, the ornate yet not over stated shells. hardware, and cymbals.* Just a sight to behold.
Great video. Thanks again for the tip to buy jumper cable bags for tambourine and it looks like so many other drumset or percussion items. Got mine from Menards today for $4.44 a bag. Tony liked those high pitched drums. Wish I could find those Roy Haynes small hand cranked timpani he used.
Excellent as ever, Rick. Promise I will be in touch soon for more lessons. Work has been crazy for months but I have been practicing. Catch up soon mate.
That sounds fantastic. How lose is your left traditional grip. It looks as if the stick is almost coming off of the fingers yet very stable. Thank you for great demonstration on the push pull technique.
@@rickdior 🤣... Absolutely, there was only one Joe Morello and there will never be another one... It seems we came from similar schools; I also used to play in orchestras back in the day. I really enjoy your videos. All the best!
Do you suspect Tony Williams used this technique on the song "Fred" from the "Believe It" record? If not then how could he have kept that much stamina and power so effortlessly?
Tony used lots of fingers and had tremendous hand strength. I never saw him use this type of push pull but that does not mean he didn't. As to power and stamina...It's TONY WILLIAMS!!!
I thought your Tony Williams impression was great! Tony seemed to advocate holding the stick in the back fingers of the hand. Did he open/close with that grip? That would seem very loose, but could also explain how he got those really open, resonant sounds.
Hi Patrick His technique changed quite a bit in the later years after he started the Jazz Fusion movement. He was playing much louder in this period. You can see him using his finger technique on some later videos with his own Jazz group. I saw him many times in New York and he did indeed play with a looser grip with small groups that were not as loud. His ride cymbal playing was a beautiful thing to behold.
@@rickdior Thanks, Rick! Man, to have seen Tony live, esp in a club must've really been something! I devour everything I can find with him on it and listen in awe.
Hi Nicola Yes, they are all original K's from the 1940's, 50's and 60's You can see them all in this video th-cam.com/video/OzeqNjWtb6M/w-d-xo.html Thanks
We still have "LPs" of this...in fact the LPs sell better. ..I thought it was a pretty good impression of Tony on fire. Great lesson brother love listening to you play.
The best teacher on TH-cam. Nothing gets better than this
agreed..

Great video ! Thxs.!👍🏻🤗

Very loose and relaxed. It's in in the bounce.
Thank you, Rick; this is very clarifying. Superb technique! (Were we students of the same teacher, Joe Morello?)
Hi Gustavo
There was only one Joe Morello so I am sure we were.
@@rickdior 🤣... Absolutely, there was only one Joe Morello and there will never be another one... It seems we came from similar schools; I also used to play in orchestras back in the day. I really enjoy your videos. All the best!
Impeccable
I heard that Big Sid quote in there 😉
Yes...that's in the book and I know you know it!

Great video, thank you!
What kind of sticks did you use?
Wow! A rare kit from Gretsch. What year Is that badge? Anyone can reply if Rick is too busy. Thanks Rick !
Hi Brian
It's a 1983 Gretsch Centennial set. There are more details in the video description.
Thanks

George Coleman, not Wayne Shorter..
Yes that's right
Thanks for the correction
