Did you know that there are unique musical ideas modern drummers are “cooking up”, which could help add variety and flavor to your ideas today…
…that most drummers probably don’t know about?
I’m not talking about faster chops.
Nor am I talking about “Dilla everything”, or stacks, though both have their place.
I’m talking about some really unique approaches to the drums that aren’t hard to do - they’re just stuff you wouldn’t necessarily think of if you weren’t looking.
And they can be very musical - when used wisely.
For this video, we’ll draw from drummers from Xavier Ware (of thumbnail fame) to Adam Deitch, to Cleon Edwards and Dana Hawkins.
We’ll talk about what makes these 4 approaches unique - i.e. why it isn’t just the same old thing you’ve already seen - we’ll show you some basic examples, then we’ll show them in context and demonstrate some of the musical things you can do with them.
If you’ve seen some of the “non-chop”/”non-dilla” flavors of modern playing and wondered how to get some of that, or reached a “plateau” with your existing ideas, and need an injection of inspo, maybe one of these approaches is for you.
Hope you enjoy!
