      Well, that sure is right. how are you? I know for me this whole quarantine thing just means more practice. Like seriously, when im at school, i have to be awake for five and a half hours without practice because they say it's gonna be helpful later in life when they're teaching us things that are 90% immaterial, and im driving my teacher crazy when i'm tapping rudiments on my desk, and im driving myself crazy when i don't practice, so i have this constant withdrawal. So now, the next week or so, no more unpracticing?! I don't know, i'm norwegian, who cares?! Anyway, Practice!

      @@microchrist6122 I don't own an acoustic kit so take this with a grain of salt, but I believe your heads might be the main cause of that rather than the actual drums. From what most other people say, the heads and tuning are the biggest factor in how your drums sound so you might need to mess around with that

  • @mcsequoia5107
    @mcsequoia5107 4 роки тому +8

    My fav part about playing fills on the snare is that almost any time you hit the rim, intentionally or not it sounds good as opposed to banging a rim on a tom only fill.
    Also, unless you're trying to play some epic drum fill such as 'In The Air Tonight' or one of Neil Peart's tom tom runs around the kit, almost all fills sound more dynamic and musical with some snare hits included.

    Young students almost always just play variations on a tom tom roll, because they're thinking about what to hit, not what rhythms they're playing. I have them work on fills using only the snare. Once they have some variety of snare fills going on, I suggest they try moving some notes to the toms or cymbals.

    I'm with the other guys for sure on, paying forward your gift to us veteran and beginner drummers like myself.
    I just really need to know how to do the most popular and basic fill there is, a military roll. I guess that's what it's called. The roll that sounds like a sizzle. Once I get that, I'll be ready to move on to all of your other videos. How in the world is that done. I'm left handed but, my set-up is like yours, hi hat on my left.

    • @DZNTZ
      @DZNTZ 4 роки тому +3

      You’re looking for ‘press roll’ aka ‘buzz roll’ aka ‘closed roll’. The differences in the terms are debatable, but searching them will get you the result you want.
      The secret to a good press roll - RELAX, and keep your strokes even (even height, even power, even speed). It’s not easy to create a smooth roll with no “pulsing”, it’s something I’ve been working on for years, so don’t be discouraged. And don’t let it stop you from moving forward.
      Experiment a little with the press, you can really feel/hear the difference from no pressure to little pressure to lots. Experiment with stick height, feel the difference. Watch players with great press rolls and learn from them - Stanton Moore comes to mind. Art Blakey was famous for the perfect buzz roll, unfortunately we don’t have him on video teaching it. Anyway, searching those terms will get you where you wanna go! You can do it!

    Hey Rob, thanks for the tip! I’m starting my practice today :)
    I was wondering if you would consider splitting the “how to” part into the difficulty levels. Either beginner/intermediate/advanced or first practice this, when you get better add that, finally when you’re an expert add that.
    I’m an advanced beginner and I find it challenging to follow on which beats you accents fall and what notes you are playing (although I appreciate it wasn’t the point of this technique, I like to copy someone first and then develop my style from there). Hope that helps :)

      @@terrencenbanbury5220 I prefer to work out something the band is doing and play to that. I am not a "drums must be noticed" kinda guy, and I am working on making that my thing. Moving away from fills and showy offy stuff, but I can tell the project i will be involved with soon will give some resistance. I just want to try something I don't hear very often. Mike Bordin comes to mind as an example

      I agree you have to play what the music wants, so to speak. It's not about filling space or showing chops. It's about being a musician. Every bit as much as every other instrumentalist is. I think you are on the right track.
