The Pataflafla Samba: Part 1
Here's a fun way to play a great sounding Samba using a "Pataflafla". The Pataflafla is a flam rudiment from
the Swiss family of rudiments and works really well in this context.

Collapsing Rolls In Grooves
Переглядів 11 тис.5 місяців тому
Here's an approach to playing grooves where we substitute the backbeat for a "collapsing" roll. I've done a whole video on collapsing rolls that you can watch here: ua-cam.com/video/RoNBkzyf7PQ/v-deo.html&ab_channel=DarrynFarrugia I've also written a pdf to accompany this video which you can download here: www.darrynfarrugia.com/product-page/collapsing-rolls-in-grooves-pdf-download
who's your agent
Переглядів 1,6 тис.6 місяців тому
I think it's important to remind students and those who want to break into the music scene, that the best music agent could be the very person they're learning from. I'm keen to hear of your own careers and what part your teacher played in getting into the music scene. Leave your comments below. Anyway, greetings from this beautiful village in the south of France called Sarlat. Daz
More Extended Paradiddle-diddles
Переглядів 2,4 тис.7 місяців тому
So here's yet another approach to extending the paradiddle-diddle but this time by adding doubles. We get some great sounding odd-time patterns with the addition of an orchestration approach I haven't shared till now. There are a couple in this series. You can watch them here.

Learn This Crazy Groove

Here's an odd sounding groove which is based on a nine note paradiddle and played across two bars of 4/4. The pattern I use comes from my previous video called Odd Groupings Using Two Paradiddles. Here's the link for you to check it out: ua-cam.com/video/70thKJl7EbM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=DarrynFarrugia There's a PDF that accompanies this lesson.

Odd Groupings Using Two Paradiddles
Переглядів 3,7 тис.9 місяців тому
Here's a simple but effective concept for creating odd groupings using paradiddles. To create the odd groupings we will be using just two different paradiddles: The Single Paradiddle and The Paradiddle. Here are two videos I've made on Odd Time Paradiddles: Part One: ua-cam.com/video/-fSzHr3PfpI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=DarrynFarrugia Part Two: ua-cam.com/video/WTo-mIaAbuQ/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Da...

How I Learn Music For A Gig
Переглядів 2,2 тис.Рік тому
A part of our job as musicians - and admittedly, a job I don't aways enjoy - is having to learn music for a gig. In this video I discuss my approaches for a couple of different scenarios that I often find myself in. At the end of the day we have to play it like we really know it (and love it!). I'm also keen to know what methods you use and what works for you, so feel free to leave comments in ...
Anti-Flamitory Exercises For Jazz Drummers
Переглядів 2,5 тис.Рік тому
As a follow-on from last week's video, this video looks at 'Anti-Flamitory" exercises related to jazz drumming. These exercises will not only tidy up any flams between the left hand and right foot, but can also be developed as a hip "comping" approach.

Anti-Flamitory Exercises
Переглядів 2 тис.Рік тому
I talk about this a lot. It's what I call "the weak relationship" and specifically - if you're a right handed/right footed drummer - the weak relationship is that between the left hand and right foot, especially when it comes to playing unisons between those two limbs. Here I present some simple (but difficult!) exercises to expose and remedy this issue. These are exercises I practise and pass ...

    This is great, thanks Darryn! I’ve been working to cop the fills from their song Pamela and I think this might also be showing up on this track too!!?

    Hey mate. Thanks for sharing your UA-cam lessons. I’ve really been getting a lot out of them. I have a question which is unrelated to this video. I wasn’t sure how to message you. I’ve noticed I’m not great at picking up phrasing and arrangements quickly. Seems there’s a million videos on fills and everything but. I’m wondering if you have any lessons that may help. I’m concentrating on jazz. I’ve been Playing along to songs I need to learn and realising I really suck at remembering accents and brass phrases. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    i had came up with this exact samba about 2 years ago and i love it, its comes natural to play this with a Brazilian samba swing. their native samba doesnt feel like its perfectly straight 16ths so i try to emulate them. fun to improvise over this framework with other flam rudiments as well. great video, much love from turkey.

    The most complicated thing in life is to achieve simplicity. As our great host points out and I lack any technical knowledge, SPACE. Space gives a person time to think and focus. Filled sound, like Spector introduced, allows for mistakes, lack of solid music, etc. Ringo's style allowed the other parts of a song to be heard. He played to the song, not overplaying to take away from the song. I appreciate George Hrab's excellent presentation and explanation. Thank you..

    • @chiao1370
      @chiao1370 Місяць тому

      That being said I admire both ideas. And I just noticed Stanton’s way of doing this phrase in 5 keeps the right hand in 4/4; while Vinnie’s and yours allow emphasis on the flamed accented notes

    I just tap them gently on the side of my head, the tone is very clear. I use it to match a pair for playing as I won’t have a set of scales at a gig. I’m not worried it being exact, just close enough so that one isn’t very high and other very low. Can normally find two sticks that are within about a semitone within a minute though so isn’t a hardship. I also give them a quick roll to make sure they’re straight as do get some bananas sometimes. This is all assuming I have time, if not I just grab two sticks, but I do notice the difference so prefer to pick them pre-gig if I can. If I was organised I would pair them and label them at home before, but I’m not. Some guys do weigh them and label them though, I’ve seen that. Or can try and keep them in pairs from the start but that would be too sensible!

    Hello, I only discovered this channel now. Such a pleasure to watch this video delivered in a calm and relaxed manner. Such a relief to not be addressed with "What's up"! I am 65 and I have been playing since age 14. I too love those little tasteful flourishes and touches that mark the player as a person to watch and listen to. A great drum sound too! Understatement and style is something I admire greatly in all musicianship and our case, in drumming. I look forward to exploring more of your videos, thank you, Michael
