Working Your Internal Metronome Like a Drummer - for Lindy Hop and Swing Dance

Support my channel by visiting / lauraglaess
I like watching vlogs by musicians, because they are good at music and I want to be good at music, too! This is a drumming drill for improving the internal metronome by Nick (link below). I found it VERY challenging and incredibly revealing. I rush a lot (not shocking) and unless my ideas are simple or perfectly formed, my transitions are RAGGED! Definitely a drill I'll be doing more in the future. Enjoy it!

[@collectinggiraffes]

Very cool Laura! This looks like a good dancing by myself in my kitchen exercise.

[@LauraGlaess]

Bingo. Kitchen floors should have good auditory feedback, too ;)

[@JamesFarrand]

Btw.. I’ve been absorbing Lindy Hop slowly over last couple years.. your vids have been so freagin helpful. Thanks many bunches of many times.

[@LauraGlaess]

It means so much that these are helpful for you

[@sindred3530]

Holy Moly, that was some good dancing to watch :O

Hi Laura! A person on my class asked: "How do you know which beat is 1"? I didn't know the answer - I just feel it. It's intuitive for me. But I cannot explain it. Sometime the melody starts on 1 but sometimes on 8. Sometimes the snare hits on even beats. But they can hit sometimes on odd beats, too (like drum fills or solos). Do you have a good answer? Thanks :)

[@LauraGlaess]

This is so hard. I'm looking for a good answer, but I don't have a good answer yet. My best advice is to just keep listening and searching for it. A friend of my couldn't hear the beat when he started, so he would go out dancing and rock step when he saw other people rock stepping. Sounds impossible, but eventually, he got it and became a really good dancer!

How often do you have to refinish your floors?

[@LauraGlaess]

Probably bad, but I haven't since I moved in.

[@JamesFarrand]

Nerd alert.. ‘Woking’?

Preciate you!!
