R.I.P. RALPHIE!!! I will never forget our childhood years in Pleasantville N.J.! We played together on the Little League team and "BOY", how Ralph was a beast on the trumpet in the jazz ensemble and the P.H.S. Band. GONE TOO SOON!!!
I remember being 18 in 2012 watching these videos for my audition to study music at Wits University as I really had no clue about jazz drumming. I really didn't get a lot of it at the time but I remember thinking this is probably the coolest drummer I've ever seen and I want to play like this man. I'll never forget "Stroke paradiddle-diddle stroke paradiddle-diddle stroke BASS." I never met him but he taught me well. R.i.p. Sir Ralph.
This fill is so Philly Joe Jones, Ralph, you are helping to take some of the confusion out of one of the great masters playing. By doing this, Philly will live on in the generations of drummers to come..Thanks so much for what you offer us all.
I love this! This is a great lesson in the advanced application of the rudiments in jazz drumming. This was the drumming vocabulary guys learned. I heard somewhere that Philly Joe worked out of the Charles Wilcoxen books. Great presentation by Ralph Petterson.
Ralph. You are a master. Philly Jo Was amazing. I just got a book with his solos. It's 350 pages long!!!! But i'm sure it only scratches the surface. What a legacy.
Memphis Drum Shop. memphisdrumshop.com/the-philly-joe-jones-solo-book-philly-joe-book I'd like to find an instructor as I am only so so at sight reading.
I don't know if you'll ever see this but you're a savage Ralph Peterson. My arthritis keeps me from playing much anymore, but I still love watching other players who know what they're doing. Thanks for these videos. Keep doing your thing. Much success and blessings in your future sir.
Thank you for Sharing your wisdom! Yes Philly Joe was profound, and you played that beautifully.. It's not every day you hear someone breaking down Philly Joe Jones. It seems like drummer's from that period had a lot of unique character. I also loved Sonny Payne's endings, I loved everything he did, but The way he played inside the Birdseye was really imaginative and worth mentioning.. Thanks Ralph, you sound great!
Did you notice the ring that this brilliant drummer got out of his drums. There's not a trace of damping anywhere. As soon as his sticks have connected with the head, they're straight off again. That's how drums should sound! By the way, it was a brilliant demonstration and description of how these effects are played.
This kat understands and can convey - not a combination that occurs often. Much respect, very clear. Inspirational instruction. Will support when I can for sure!
Thank you Mr. Peterson. I have been in a state of confusion for many years about those Philly fills. I look forward to thanking you in person some day,
i'm a novice at this ... man gotta tell ya each time i look at this guy it just painfully remind me of how far i got to go ... wow this stud is awesome with his shit
I liked that tremendously. The way you slowed it down, for us who haven't said the names of the rudiments out load while i'm playing them. I just think ahead and plan in my mind which rudiment is going to follow this phrais or slowly speed up into another rudiment or phraise. Very impressive teaching and/or clinic. Thank You Ralph i'm playing them. I just think ahead and plan in my mind which rudiment is going to follow this phraise or slowly speed up into another
I think the people who dislike this video do so for the following reasons: 1) his terminology does not match standard terminology, according to pas.org, wikipedia and ninjadrummist.com; for examples, a) what he calls a ‘three stroke ruff’ is normally called a ‘drag’ or a ‘ruff’; a ‘three stroke ruff’, according to other sources mentioned, is ‘r l R, l r L’, not ‘l l R, r r L’, nor ‘l l R, l l R’; b) what he calls a ‘single drag’ is actually a ‘single drag tap’; a ‘single drag’ is not a known rudiment but would probably be an alternate term for a ‘drag’, which, again, he calls a ‘three stroke ruff’ 2) he alternates between ‘l l R, l l R’ and ‘l l R, r r L’, with no explanation. 3) he is inverting the ‘drag paradiddle #1’ without explanation (it usually starts with the accented note; he is ending with the accented note). 4) his demonstration of the ‘single paradiddle-diddle’, (which he simply calls ‘paradiddle-diddle’) is so fast you can’t tell what he is doing, it seems to be more about showing off than teaching. 5) the editing is terrible; it often cuts at the exact moment he starts the phrases, so that it is very difficult to tell which hand he is starting with. In short, his technique and musicality are impressive but his explanation and the editing are horrible, making this video very confusing and downright misleading for beginners.
@@lukealberti5094 MMMM....First off this is NOT for beginners .... seems very fine to me and to any drummer who is seriously into Jazz History and tradition. Second a "label", a "different sticking" or a PAS "rule" does not define music my friend. I think you really need to do research about who Ralph Peterson Jr is..... If this guy was a bad teacher... ( I personally studied with him for years at Berklee) then I wonder how he taught and influenced SO well the majority of Drummers leading today's Jazz Scene and other styles as well i.e. Jonathan Blake, Rodney Green, Mark Whitfield Jr., Jonathan Barber, Matt Gartska, Lyndon Rochelle, Obed Calvaire, Justin Faulkner, Corey Fonville, Adam Arruda, Joey Dyson, Justin Tyson, Jonathan Pinson, Tyshawn Sorey etc..etc..etc...
You lost me Ralph, but I loved it just the same. I'm gonna try it with the community band Tuesday night. I love the pitched tone of your Mapex. Thanks...pl

For ME that is real drumming, real teaching, real fun.
Jazz drumming was never my realm but I like your knowledge and history lessons of the greats and how they applied their craft.kudos bro!

Excellent all the way and passionating subject.
Beautifully done
Awesome stuff!
Thank you Mr. Peterson you are great!
I saw Ralph at Scullers in January 1012. The set was awesome.
Strong feel and technique. I subscribed.
I liked that tremendously. The way you slowed it down, for us who haven't said the names of the rudiments out load while
