    That's one gnarly rhythm section! How do you construct grooves when you're jamming?

      @TearsOfDecember Band holy shit man. Cool story, but have you ever heard of a period?

      @TearsOfDecember Band I get what you're saying but periods help people save time when reading. To an outsider, it takes way more effort and time to decide where one idea starts and the other begins.
      Spaces between paragraphs might help, if you don't want to use punctuation.
      I agree that the best way to write is with someone you can trust, "read" and get to know, instead of someone you can just plan stuff with or have a preset style in mind. It becomes way more personal and rewarding. That takes being around positive creative humble people which is who I'm trying to surround myself with.

      @TearsOfDecember Band a lot of sentences and paragraphs are easier to navigate with punctuation used for example which is harder to read this paragraph or the next one don’t you feel like you’re running out of breath reading in your head also you spelt aren’t wrong now let’s move on to the second paragraph
      this is a lot easier to navigate, i can take pauses and figure out when one thing, moves on to the next. periods break up all of this otherwise “wall of text” mess and make it easier for native, and non native english speakers alike to read. imagine reading a book in one breath, that’s how it feels reading your comment.

      The way we construct grooves depends on which one of us started playing first. Generally if I start a drum groove first, my bass player will listen for a few measures and start putting the basics out for a main riff, and then start adding in some accents with the drums I'm hitting. If he starts first, I'll just listen for the timing and keep a super simple beat going until I get comfortable with it and then start adding in the extra bass notes/ tom hits/ fills/ etc.

      true, ive personally always said one of the most important parts of being a drummer is being able to play bass.

  • @johannjohann6523
    @johannjohann6523 Рік тому +4

    Ray has been in my top 10 Fav drummers from way back when he played with Dave. And as time goes by, and I see him play, he keeps creeping up that list. The guy never ceases to amaze with complex yet groove oriented playing that somehow doesn't seem like "overplaying". Something many modern drummers seem to do. Plus growing up on a farm as a kid in Pennsylvania has kept him humble even with all the fame. A real down to earth, appreciative guy realizing it's not always talent, but also some luck that gets you into a successful music career. Especially one at the top.
