Advanced Odd Meters 1 feat Chris Paprota

Nate Smith December 15, 2015

I’m pretty excited for this one. When you watch it I think you’ll understand why. Chris Paprota has inspired me for the last six months with his head-turning videos on Facebook. I heard he was looking to get into video lessons, I was looking for badass drummers to collaborate with, and the rest is history.

I should say this lesson has a lot of Me, and relatively less of Chris. We didn’t plan it that way, but that’s how it shook out. Given that we were edging past 20 minutes, we elected to post in installments. Hence, Chris’ response to my last video will be in Part Two.

Ok - odd meters. In this lesson we attempt to wrap our minds around the Sweet Science of math-rock/jazz/pop, choosing, as our primary target, one of its most ingenious purveyors: Tigran Hamasyan.

Anyway, I know why all ya’all are here...

GIT ITTT!

And for those of you still reading, I still have a few Early Bird tickets left for my LA clinic, where I’ll discuss how mortals like us can learn Gospel Chops. Get in here.

See you soon killaz,
