Also touring acts are charging a premium to play since their costs have gone up. Corporate venues will pay them but the independent venues are having a tougher time affording it all on top of their overhead increases.
Not going to lie, they sound wonderful.
Awesome 🙌🏼
It is called PLAYING music after all, keep on havinn fun sir!
Not many small venues left in Ottawa, Canada. Though a nearby place opened a few years back called THE RED BIRD that is cozy and books bands. They also give lessons and have two open mic nights.
Looks as though they copied Slingerland on most everything, so why didn’t they take it across the finish line with the Slingerland style muffler
Sure I can place an internal muffler on request. No problem. But I took the decision not putting it standard on the replica snares. Gert
@@Apachelarry51659 probably to save some money
Very nice Sir
Keep it up bud, love to see it
@@jerodbosh7630 thanks for the encouragement
these hats are the Steve Jordan 17in Paiste set
Keep growing
Hello there gram's
Don't know their weights they are the Steve Jordan Paiste 17in hats
As a RH drummer, I start this and similar exercises with LH. 👍
@@peterburge9973 i usually do this drill twice a day one set i lead with right and 2nd set lead with left hand
My favourite drum fills is Touumm-rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRATATOM BOOM/CRASH, in septuplets... (Rllrrll R L R R)
Sonor.
All those drums sound wonderful, especially the snare. Love the drumming too.
Yes very happy with snare i am probably going to buy one of their oak snares when i save a bit more money
Keep it up. This is very helpful for beginners
@@Ihadthismate yep there are a lot of advanced drumming videos out there so i try to support the beginner a lot
How smooth is that Trevor. This presents a new twist to your drumming. My wife's sister Kat sings this same style in the Al Fenton big band in Connecticut. Love it!
@@edwardkaminsky8142 thats cool yep i love jump blues
American maple? Ahahaha….. no, local Belgian Maple.
@@drs-Rigo-Reus i believe it is American maple they wanted to make it as close as possible to the original radio kings which used American maple for their other maple snare drums they use french maple
I was told American hard maple on his radio kings and he uses European maple on standard models
Fine,, but why are you not indicating the Note values ? It’s almost as if YOU DON’T KNOW THEM. FYI-the singles you’re playing are eighth notes, the doubles are 16ths- why don’t U KNOW THIS TREVOR???
No need for note values to do this exercise in my opinion and yes i do know note values thank you
The notes i am playing of course can be counted as 1&2& 3er&r 4er&r making it one 4/4 bar made up of 4 eights notes and 8 sixteenths
Hello. Which is your favorite? Thank you.
@@camerondean6804 all the canopus if i had to choose one i would say the Canopus ash but i like all of them really
@@trevorgollagherdrums4610 Thank you.
Gretch are absolutely one of the best Trevor. 51 years at the throne certainly is a badge of honor few of us have in our resume. With the likes of Charlie, Cindy, and Phil playing these gorgeous shells, how could one go wrong with Gretch. Originally from Brooklyn N.Y. in 1883. I read DW makes the shells for Gretch now. Chris Lombardi CEO. DW drums The shell's definitely have that woody tone to them. I find that in birch shells with Emporer vintage coated on top and Emporer vintage clears on the bottom toms. Ambassador's... bass and snare!
@@edwardkaminsky8142 thanks for your comment i believe DW and a share in gretsch but fred still controls the company I was led to believe that the gretsch shells were still made at gretsch in ridgeland but please do correct me if wrong I personally dont like DW drums so i hope they are not getting involved in gretsch production
Can barely hear you
Iwill look into it thanks for letting me know
Just checked it and it seems okay must be your end
Turn it up
You can also do 10 mins of each roll
Do you use finger technique at abnormally slow speed, i have large hands (at age 16) and therefore i feel like my fingers don’t coordinate as good as anyone else, as well as that i feel like my left hand holds my drumstick different to the right hand, any advice on that?
@@Xclass_ClownX thanks for your message in regards to how you hold drumsticks it is a good idea to play on a practice pad in front of a mirror to correct any differences in how you hold sticks Yes i mainly use fingers but not always it depends what i am playing with slow drills you should be able to correct any coordination between hands - slow accurate playing and eventually your hands should play well together but it requires lots of practice and repetition Always practice slow and accurate not fast Hope this has helped i would also recommend to go see a good drum teacher in your area to make sure you are holding your sticks correctly
respect ill try it
awesome
Your a champion Trevor,a guy teaching on you tube that can actually play themselves ,so many want to teach but their useless at practical.
@@colinhamilton156 thanks for your kind words
Do you literally count 100 bars while counting each 1/4 too? How do you know when you hit 100? really counting to 100?
@@s4lroachclip metronome app it counts bars for me My app is called pro metronome
@@trevorgollagherdrums4610 Very helpful thank you
Sounds really good. Warm and articulate. Nice playing too!
@@jobrothberg4679 thanks for your feedback
Great lesson, wonderful example also for my beginner Students, thanks for sharing !!
Thanks for your kind words
I use the double stroke and the single stroke as well
The snare is actually 5.5in not 5 as mentioned in video
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
I use a gel pad to build strength and I use marching sticks, it helps a lot even after about 10 mins per day, I then pick up my 5B sticks and do my full session. Can't beat (pun) simple.
When I was young, I used to use a pillow instead of a practice pad no bounce at all that was good for the hands too Thanks for your input
Out of synch
Looks okay my end
@@trevorgollagherdrums4610 its obvious at 0.25x at 2:15. Image is coming before sound. Kind regards, Clement
@@trevorgollagherdrums4610no ok it’s my mistake
You mention not having to play fast. I am learning slowing down helps keep the focus on keeping the technique relaxed and the same as my right. Where did this ratamacues originate? I mean it is a marching drum thing, but what reason would they play this march? Returning home, going to war? Funeral? victory?
The origin of snare drum rudiments can be traced back to Swiss mercenaries armed with long polearms. The use of pikes in close formation required a great deal of coordination. The sound of the tabor was used to set the tempo and communicate commands with distinct drumming patterns. These drumming patterns became the basis of the snare drum rudiments.
@@trevorgollagherdrums4610 Thanks for answering. What I am asking is this rudiment or pattern had a meaning behind it. We know drums communicated farther than we can with our voices, but If this was played, what was the message being sent specifically. It is maybe unknown, but it is a question worth asking isn't it. Movies, misrepresent it all the time so I do not trust information from Hollywood to be accurate. It is my guess this was a victory march also used to announce royalty, even though I last saw it used in a movie upon surrendering. I mean using the patterns in our playing is one thing but to me understanding what they communicate is as important. For example west African drums were communication that was as elaborate as the spoken word, universally, villages spoke the language and understood the message. Coming of age celebrations, marriage or coupling, all have their unique patterns. The knowledge of the language and what you are speaking is important to me, otherwise playing is like a baby just making noise.
@@s4lroachclip dont know sorry
Great points. I at 57 play in several bands, so I'm constantly on the kit running through songs. Typically three, four days a week for an hour to two hours. Still loving it. Agree with your points. Just play!!
You seem like a cool dude and a badass drummer. Do you do any hand drumming? I'm looking for guidance with my djembe.
I dont own a djembe anymore the only hand drum i own is a middle eastern tar frame drum
Absolutely, playing with a band is way more beneficial than hitting the pad,thanks for the advice
Thanks for commenting much appreciated
Learnt the same way..wasn’t till quite a few years after starting that I got into the rudiments etc... which I must say was very beneficial... I always chuckle when I hear drummers say you don’t need them....
@@scottapthorpe6172 you absolutely need a good rudimental foundation
my 4th fav roll is a salad roll bwaaahaaa
I have a 14", 16", 18" 26". Ludwig I use a Tune Bot gig drum tuner. F, D, B, F
I never use tools to tune i always use my ears
@@trevorgollagherdrums4610 I used to say the same thing.
How big is that bass drum?
24x14
About 3/4 way through i give tunings and head selection
Ok Trevor I just subscribed to your channel now I know you are a talented drummer teacher I need your expertise and help please show me some buddy rich routines and exercises to work on I detest rock drumming please show me buddy rich exercises
The best buddy rich exercise i would suggest and really general exercises for all playing is. Regularly practice your rudiments buddy’s playing was heavy rudimentary based a good book to start with is stick control George stone the key to playing and improving is enjoy and do your best to play relaxed
So basically...your bouncing strokes
Not bouncing all fingers
Audio and video are out of sync. Can you fix that?
I will have s look and see what i can do thanks for letting me know
The sync is fine here
Looks fine for me too
It was out of sync to start but aligns correctly about a third of the way into the video
Bass drum has a bonham esq type sound..
Yep that is the direction I am heading
I am using same heads as bonham
Interesting sound and blend
sounds great sir!
Thanks Trevor, these lessons help me "work smarter" at each practice session.😮😊
Glad they are a help
