Collapsing Rolls In Grooves
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:

I've also written a pdf to accompany this video which you can download here:

who's your agent
Переглядів 1,6 тис.5 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 2,3 тис.5 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 3,6 тис.7 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...

A Steve Gadd Inspired Idea

How I Learn Music For A Gig
Переглядів 2,2 тис.11 місяців 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 2,4 тис.11 місяців 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. If you missed last week's lesson on Anti-Flamitory Exercises, you can watch it by clicking on this link: ua-cam.com/video/_IqVxWow1lg/v-deo.html...
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 ...

Soloing: AAAB Phrases
Переглядів 5 тис.Рік тому
In this video I discuss and demonstrate a way of phrasing in solos that has its origins in jazz but can also be applied to contemporary playing. Steve Gadd is a prime example of this approach. Repetition in solos is a great way to ensure musicality in your phrasing as it connects your brain to what is being played, rather than playing licks and patterns purely from muscle memory. Here's the lin...

    Great stuff! Reminds me of a Stanton Moore video a few days ago. He seems to have a less mathematical approach to this, as in around 7:46 of this video ua-cam.com/video/xOtPlIuNrpM/v-deo.htmlsi=wOeK99ejvPBnnA-J

      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

    Linear grooves always sound better slowed down which would leave space for other musicians to create better than at faster tempos which is something I can't stand about speed metal

    I don't care how you call this "lick" - it's just aSIXTUPLET (R L L R R L ) or vice versa! Steve Gadd uses this "lick" in various ways: hands on two sounds (HiHat/Snare, or divided between Snare/Bass-Drum)

    • @darrynfarrugia9904
      @darrynfarrugia9904 4 місяці тому

      This is definitely NOT a sextuplet. These are 32nd notes played as doubles RRLLRRLL etc. Also, I don't refer to this as a "lick" in this video.

  • @MrDominiclynch

    G'day Darryn, Thanks so much for releasing all of your highly informative and useful content. Regarding Collapsing Rolls,these require alot of finesse when one plays a rimshot followed by a ghost note on the same hand. Are you able to comment on ways one can gain this type of control when the tempo gets brisk and whilst attempting to excecute double strokes in 32nd note form? Thanks again mate, Dom.
