    As a bass player, nothing feels better than a drummer and bassist straight up grooving. Nothing complicated, nothing special, just a fat groove. Communication with a drummer is key. Less is more. We can dance together and be more free.
    Great stuff, Raghav.

    I used to jack up the groove all the time by over complicating it and not simply being in the pocket with the rest of the band. "Dont play the drums, play the song" is the philosophy that helped me.

      Dan Beitzel I still do. This video is pretty enlightening. Part of the problem is wanting to use all those chops we work on. But playing what the music asks for is really what is key. I have to learn to throw those busy things in selectively...or maybe not at all, if that’s what the piece asks for.

    Your maturity will always show in your playing, there's immature drumming that's completely different from amateur drumming. This is a perfect example of how to separate mature drumming from immature drumming. Kudos to you

    It's great to see a young man that's already learned the basic principles of playing drums and how it relates to everybody else in the band he's obviously been coached properly so all you drummers out there listen to this young man because he's right we tend to over play our drums

    Am I the only one who didn’t mind the greyed-our grooves in the beginning? Lol. Both grooves could have worked depending on the song. Not every groove has to be laid-back and relaxed to be musically valid

      ehoc42 if you’re playing a band then keep it simple if you’re grieving alone or for like a drum cover overplaying and showing off will be fine

    • @ehoc42
      @ehoc42 5 років тому +1

      THE REAL SEVEN it depends on the band. For a pop band I agree. But for example tell Danny Carrey and Billy Cobham in their respective bands to keep it simple :p

    • @sevenorys
      @sevenorys 5 років тому

      It’s also about timing if the piece is transistioning sections eg chorus to verse then you can do fills or when other instruments play less n you have a drum solo

The drum intro to Led Zeppelin's When The Levee Breaks wouldn't sound anywhere near as good if every drum was played smack bang on the beat with the same velocity each time.

    SO MANY PRECONCEIVED IDEAS: TYPICAL TOO YOUNG POINT OF VIEW.
    YOU WILL CHANGE YOUR MIND WHEN YOU WILL BE MORE OLD BECAUSE YOU WILL BE BORED OF ALL YOUR SIMPLISTIC PRINCIPLES HERE.
    ART AND TECHNIQUE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. GREAT ART AND SEDUCTION OF THE IGNORANT MASSES, TOO.
    THERE ARE THOUSAND DIFFERENT QUALITIES AND CRITERIAS THAT YOU CAN FIND IN A WORK OF ART WHICH OFTEN "CLASHING" EACHOTHERS LIKE YOU SAY FOR BASS GUITAR AND BASS DRUM BUT EVEN OPPOSES SOMETIMES (LIKE HARMONY AND SURPRISE, FOR EXAMPLE).
    IN TRADITIONAL AFRICAN, AFRO CUBAN AND ESPECIALLY AFRO BRAZILIAN MUSIC YOU CAN HAVE COUNTLESS OF VOICES CLASHING EACHOTHERS IN IMPROVISATION AND STILL GIVE AN AWESOME BEAUTIFUL "GROOVING" DANCING RESULT (THAT'S ITS PRUPOSE: IT IS CARNIVAL MUSIC!). THIS PERCEPTION CHANGES WITH EXPERIENCE IN LISTENING.
    WHAT YOU DESCRIBE HERE IS ONLY A NAIVE POPULAR NEO ACADEMISM OF MODERN ART. MODERN DRUMSET HIMSELF IS BASED ON CLASHING POLYRYTHMIC VOICES! THINK OF IT!
    FINALLY, WHY A DRUMSET PART COULDN'T ALSO INSPIRE A GUITAR PART INSTEAD ALWAYS REVERSE?
    GOOD DRUM TECHNIQUE, POOR PHILOSOPHY OF DRUMSET HERE. I EXCUSE YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE YOUNG BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE YOUNG YOU SHOULD ALSO BE MORE HUMBLE AND NOT JUDGE SO DARINGLY EVERYTHING. ALSO KNOW THAT VERY DIFFERENT SCENES AND TASTES EXIST IN THE WORLD, LIKE DIFERENT COLORS, SPICIES OR RECIPES, OR EVEN CULTURES, OR ONLY MOODS FOR ONE PERSON! PERSONALLY I CAN APPRECIATE IN DIFFERENT TIMES JS BACH AS METALLICA OR MILES DAVIS (AND EVEN THEM GOT VERY DIFFERENT STYLES OF MUSIC IN THEIR REPERTOIRE). BUT BE SURE THAT LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXISTING IN THE WORLD WHO CAN'T SIMPLY STAND THE ONE TWO FORTISSIMO KICK SNARE YOU SEEM ALWAYS QUOTE AS BEST CHOICE AND WHICH ARE THE MOST BRUTAL AND SIMPLE COMPOSITION YOU CAN IMAGINE (IT DOESN'T EXIST IN EUROPEAN CLASSICAL MUSIC OR AFRICAN TRADITION)!
    BY THE WAY, I LIKE PERSONALLY ALL YOUR COUNTER EXAMPLES, THEY DON'T CONFUSE ME AT ALL BECAUSE MY EAR AND BRAIN ARE TRAINED! NOTE THAT I AM NOT THE LESS SCHOLARED DRUMSET TEACHER, BEING AUTHOR OF AWARDED 500 HUNDRED PAGES METHODS RECOMMENDED BY SOME OF THE BEST DRUMMERS IN HISTORY.
    YOU REALLY SHOULD READ THEM, NOTABLY THE PHILOSOPHICAL AND HITORICAL PART.
    GOOD CONTINUATION.
