    Honestly...that was the greatest "human" lesson I've ever seen via my phone. It felt like I was in the room with Greg. Thank you so much for this

      no need for quotation but if it were necessary you would close them after 'lesson'. Anyway, I agree with you; feels like an old-school DVD lesson.

    "Walk The Dog" I just learned, is a upgrade for me from "Spang A Lang." Thanks and Blessings Greg!

    Great lesson! It lays out the swing pattern musically, and emotively. Walk the dog not only captures the pattern, it captures the mindset when playing the pattern in a welcoming manner. Bravo, Greg!

    I really appreciated all the different camera angles. Very informative. That one of Greg's arm from the side surprised me with how still his arm actually was; so controlled while so relaxed.

    If you listen to the album "Live at the Loa" by Ray Brown Trio, you'll hear someone shouting "walk that dog!!!" to Jeff Hamilton throughout the album. Wonder if that was Ray Brown or Gene Harris shouting that?

    I always recognized that drumming is a form of language and how you “pronounce”, “tell the story” via instrument is all what it is about. It’s like reciting a poem. You can tell it flat, or you can have listeners follow you.
    But I never linked specific patterns to specific phrases. Thank You Greg. This is huge lesson

  • @neonrecording

    Immediately connecting with the walk the dog phrase.
    I was never really taught this phonetically, it was always the specific rhythm of the thing, or listening to examples.
    At most, maybe we heard a "tang, tanga tang"
    Very interesting stuff!!!!!

  • @Mobby74

    Okay, just before this video from Greg I watched a video from Peter Erskine, exactly on the same topic. And there Peter emphasises that he does not play the jazz ride pattern as "a three-note grouping". So, forget 'walk-the-dog', forget 'spang-a-lane'. And here we have Greg, teaching just that. I am convinced by Peter on this one. The walk-the-dog doesn't actually teach us the rythmic structure of a swung eighth note bar. The actual bar is: 'walk, walk-the-dog, walk-the', which in proper counting corresponds to, 1, 2, and3, 4, and. The off-beat notes (last notes of the triplet) of 1 and 3 are silent, but they can be played. Walk-the-dog doesn't give that rythmic awareness of what you actually playing. Greg in demonstrating the technique actually starts from 2, leaving the note 1 out, so he plays 2 and3, 4 and1. And that's exactly the problem with walk-the-dog. Peter advises to start with even quarter notes and then add the off-beats as pick-up notes leading to the next quarter note. Start even but you can acent 2 and 4, or the offbeat notes, Elvin Jones style. So, forget walk-the-dog. I am suprised why Greg teaches that, being a fantastic drummer.

    • @thibodaux3424
      @thibodaux3424 Рік тому +1

      Interesting observation. I agree it doesn't really demonstrate rhythmic structure very well but I feel like the point of this clip is more about demonstrating how it should feel.

    Great lesson, the explanations and the vibes are so cool and easy.
    I have one question , from Walk the dog, you may think that Walk is the first note of the bar, yet when you play it, with notes, it seems that Dog is the first note of the bar!
