- Here is a tune I did for www.bobbysbacki.... This is Miles Davis' tune "All Blues". Just an awesome tune!! Swing in 3/4! Great way to get the swing chops out of the closet and dust them off! I really need to start playing more swing!
I have a feeling I will get raked over the coals for this one!! It is pretty far out of the box of the original!! WAY LEFT of the original. Traditional Jazz cats will let me have it pretty good on this!
Hope you enjoy!
Here is a list of my gear:
Drums: Sonor Force 2007 in Natural Lacquer.
Sizes: 8x7, 10x8, 12x9, 14x11, 16x16 Floor, 22x17.5 Kick.
Sticks: Vic Firth American Heritage (maple) 5A
Heads: Remo clear Ambassadors on the tops of all the toms and bottoms of all toms except the 8" and 10" toms. Clear Diplomats on the bottoms of the 8" and 10" toms. Coated Ambassador on the snare with an ambassador medium snare side hazy on the bottom. Clear Powerstroke 3 on the kick drum.
Microphones: Audix Fusion Series Drum Mics
I am very serious about the art of drumming and choose to use the gear that I consider to be the BEST IN THE BUSINESS:
Sonor Drums
Remo Drum Heads
Vic Firth Sticks
Audix Microphones
The Kelly Shu
I enjoyed this track. I felt the playing was quite tasteful, and I enjoyed your chops as well. Some of those fills were quite impressive in their speed and dynamics.
As a "traditional Jazz cat" I have to say this was great! Enjoy most of your videos. Nice selection of music, good recording, and excellent drumming. The toms sound a little bubbly/rounded for this type of music, I prefer them edgier, but that's probably just a personal preference.
Great touch! Been enjoying jamming with you on Bobbys tracks.
it's pretty entertaining to play along with your video!great drumming!
great loose rolls and wonderful sound and dynamics man! A+ work you have done here
Hey Fran,
I think what you did here is super cool.

Really good work, currently covering all blues in improvisation class and will find this really useful :).
It's amazing! I wanna be like you when I grow up. HAHA :D
I hate to appear as if I'm giving advice to an accomplished drummer so please take this more as an opinion: have you transcribed Cobb's comping from the original? He compliments the music in a beautiful way with a quarter of the notes. Sometimes less is more. I can appreciate if you were just using the track to practise your swing/3 chops, if so ignore this comment.
FUUUULLLL FILING.....YEAH......
Do you know a fellow drummer named Richie Barsh'e? He teaches in West Hartford. (I'm not sure how to spell his last name)
is that the pre-aged ride? Nice touch on the snare too! Great dynamics!
Hey Fran. How can one get in touch with you? I've tried unsuccessfully sending you a message to your TH-cam mailbox. I never get a response.
is it me or i just never hear the change to C on the 5th bar until about the 2:30 ??
