Great job teaching this as a full lesson from beginning to full expert interpretation. You fully covered all aspects of this particular rudiment and taught how to use it. There's not a lot of videos out there that will stick with the user and show it from many angles. Great job, thank you for the quality.
I have been practising over a single sheet of syncopation exercises and the combinations are almost endless. You shed an insightful perspective on how to apply syncopation exercises in a musical context and it surely inspired me. Thank you!
Thanks, and yes it absolutely is! One suggestion that I would add is that once you feel like you have gotten the hang of "Syncopation" phrases, try doing the same thing with jazz melodies. It is amazing how slick jazz tunes are just from a rhythmic perspective.
Excellent lesson! This is very useful and the permutations are endless... right? Seriously I've had lessons with a teacher who never showed me this approach and it's such an organic way to build your own chops.. Thanks very much!
Ace lesson, I love the short long interpretation of the rhythms! Inverted works nicely too, long notes on snare and short notes on the toms 👌 Thanks for inspiring me to practice more!
Awesome, I am so glad you liked it! Once you get comfortable with Syncopation, try doing these same types of exercises with the rhythms of melodies. You will be amazed how much hip stuff you can come up with!
You are so welcome! This feedback means a lot to me, thanks for taking time to check out the video and to let me know that you liked it! I apologize that I haven't been able to produce more content like this for quite some time. I am really looking forward to the opportunity to more videos out in the future, so don't give up on me!
Awesome video...I've been playing drums for 17 years but only playing jazz for a year or so. It's been a real challenge to transition from backbeat style playing. I found your videos tonight. Very helpful way to use Syncopation! If you get a chance I have one jazz video on UA-cam. I'd certainly appreciate your feedback on what I could work on. Cheers!
Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it! I checked out your video, sounded great for just getting started with jazz! In terms of what to work on I would suggest that you tend to overcrash/accent with the bass drum in your comping. I can hear that you are trying to hit with the pianist, and that can be great but don't overdo it. I would suggest instead focusing on comping in the cracks of the soloists line. I have a video up about how to develop this if you want to check it out.
Ah a melodic drummer PRAISE the lord (well you may disagree with me at the end) . In the eternal battle for worlds greatest drummer of ALL times ( not specifying whet genre , what year)In most of these, Ringo Starr "may be" # 92. The reply is simple. Ringo was a melodic drummer. In fact I dont care what Ringo says he is a damn good percussinist. Very few drummer have a "Signature" Beat, roll, feel , intro, outro. With Ringo you know the song just by the drum intro "What you doing" 2 bars we know it is him, "Tomorrow never knows" Okey he plagirized himself but the beat SO alike and yet identifies the song.. She loves you " rocket fire roll NO count and you know what song it is. and so forth "A fay in a Life", Being for the benefit of Mr. Kay", "Rain" and lets not forgoget he WROTE tat clunky beat to "Love me do"Andy White recorded it but that was Ringo's groove which Allan had plenty of time to learn overnight. So .... MY question "Is Ringo Starr a melodic play/Percussionist (bongos, claves, tambourine, piano, timpani etc) Thanks.
Love you and want to be like you but please get a music stand. My kid who I am teaching said Dad why does he throw his good book on the floor? I don't know my boy? Don't you do it!!
This is one of the best lessons I've found on the internet.
This was an absolutely fantastic lesson in jazz. You’re an excellent teacher and would like to hear more of what you do.
as a self taught aspiring jazz drummer, your videos are the best man!

Thank you for your easy communication. You make learning jazz very understandable. And this is not an easy task at all!
Great lesson mate. You are a brilliant communicator. And I love your playing. Cheers - Marty (Perth, Australia)
Really excellent explanation and demonstration of Alan's concept on this, thank you so much:-)
Excellent lesson! This is very useful and the permutations are endless... right? Seriously I've had lessons with a teacher who never showed me this approach and it's such an organic way to build your own chops.. Thanks very much!
Thanks for checking it out, I am so happy to hear that!
This is truly inspiring. This gives me a foothold for my jazz studies.

Great lesson, Andrew. Easy to follow. So it's easy enough to get the doubles in but making it sound nice legato takes practice!
Wow. Fantastic lesson! Clear and helpful! Thank you so much!!!!

That was wonderful! Both your playing and the teaching.

I'm glad I could give you some ideas! This is really just the tip of the iceberg with that book.
Es muy interesante. Gracias por que me clarificas conceptos musicales básicos. Te seguiré. Gracias
Thanks Andrew! Have a good day.

I like how you use kitchen English to explain comping. Kitchen English is just simply keeping it simple.
Great job. There is some much depth to your lesson.
bravo e grazie dear Prof. Andrew
That was cool bro, I got the feel and I couldn't stop playing it. Thanks.

Clean and top quality lec-dem! Thanks for sharing and best wishes!
Well done Andrew !
+Tony Martucci Thanks Tony, I appreciate it!
Great lesson, Thank you so much for sharing this information
thanks a lot! i´ll try this exercise tomorrow!!
Great, let me know how it goes!
Great lessons! I haven't used the book that way in awhile. Thanks for the reminder! :)
The only thing I would teach differently would be to have my students start on pgs 10-11, then 30-31, before jumping to the more syncopated rhythms.
Andrew Tyler Hey Andrew, thanks for checking them out. I agree starting on the earlier pages would be a good intro.

Thanks! I don't think so, I listened back and didn't hear it. Why do you ask?
SUBBED.
Ha! That was a funny moment.
Love you and want to be like you but please get a music stand. My kid who I am teaching said Dad why does he throw his good book on the floor? I don't know my boy? Don't you do it!!
Terrible sound quality, good subject.
Thanks!
