Michael Carvin quickly becoming one of my favorite drummers/drumming instructors. Really embodied the feel of Papa Jo without having to explain any of his techniques.
"The reason why all the other drummers adapted me was because I dressed so slick, that even when I gave a lesson, I wore a tie and jacket." True story.
I remember hearing how Charlie Parker professed a liking for country music and his jazz colleagues were mystified at his interest in this primitive form and challenged him on it. He reputedly responded - "It's the stories, man". Well funnily enough that is one of the big draws to jazz for me. It's the stories, man.
I only discovered this channel a few days ago and already it's given me some of the best and most entertaining musical education videos I've ever seen. Thanks for that!
+frederic1000001 "All programs are subject to change at any given time". I believe what Papa Jo meant by this, and someone can correct me if I'm wrong, is that it's just life advice: You can plan for how you want things to turn out and things may happen they way you want them to, but nothing is certain in life and you have to embrace the beauty in that you don't know is around the corner. That's what I'm taking from it anyway.
In order words, all set lists are subject to change at any given time. AWESOME lesson to always stay alert and on point.
The whole Micheal Carvin series is excellent! Well done!
+Geordie Van Der Bosch Thanks! We're big fans of him
We need a lot more people on the planet like this. Especially leaders. You can tell he cares, and is no-nonsense, but still likes to have fun.
