This video kind of reminds me of one of the Gary Chaffee dvd's (I can't remember which one), where Gary mentions Hand Motions in drumming - Parallel Motion: Both hands move in the same direction. Contrary Motion : Both hands move in opposite directions. Oblique Motion: One hand stays on one sound source, while the other hand moves around to other sound sources of the drum kit.
Yep, it was something he mentioned to me in a 20 minute lesson back in 1973 prior to writing his Patterns series. In that short lesson he revealed pretty much his entire concept which was based on a single phrase..."exhaust the possibilities." Everything was about taking some rhythmic phrase, accent pattern or a sticking and using all manner of creative thought to come up with different ways to apply it to the whole kit. He stressed creating a personal improvisatory vocabulary that included these "motion studies" and adding dynamic phrasing. It's all stuff you can come up with on your own without a book or use whatever study materials you have that you like that you can expand by simply "exhausting the possibilities." I've actually been going back to these motion ideas with certain sticking and accent patterns, incorporating these and other motions ("X" patterns, for instance such as RH first between SD and Ride then Hi Tom to Low Tom, then reversing them...LH between SD-Hi Tom, Cr Cym -Floor etc, etc, etc). Oh, and don't forget "fun" with doubles between adjacent voices! There are virtually unlimited possibilities. Understand though, that these are simply foundational facility exercises designed to get your mind and body in sync with what is possible to allow you the freedom to express with fewer physical hindrances and some are practical and useful while others can be next to impossible and frustrating. But keep trying with the latter even if it's at an excruciatingly slow tempo. You might be surprised after a little repetition.
hey! this is my lick called the eggbeater. it's great to see someone else do it as buddy rich was the only other person i've seen so far after discovering it five years ago on a 5 pc kit.
Considering how many people have taught this... They must be running out of material. Didn't they have some old lady marching corps person teaching paradiddles? How many times are they going to teach the paradiddle? They need help.
This video truly inspires me to practice this! I want to blast it at warp speed during a big ending of a song while playing with my working cover band!
LOVED the lesson... These lessons REALLY help us students grow as drummers. Fluidity around the drum kit is something a lot of people ignore to gain brute speed (that's a term I made up) and regret later on. This lesson really helps avoid such mishaps. And can anyone please suggest me some exercises or lessons to build better kick control? I always end up messing the groove because of my kick falling a semiquaver early or late. No matter what I do or how I practise, this always tends to happen... Can someone please help me out?
Look up Right foot indepindence exercises also the basic 3 4 polyrhthm with either the 3 or 4 on kick the other on hands then can also throw a back beat on the snare to make it groove
Yessir its basically a groove danny carey uses in schism and other songs but deffinitely opened my drumming up and improved that right foot indepindence
Love the sound of those drums

@@garydonnelly100 Thanks for expanding on that :-)

Excellent! A true window for coordination and creativity.
Scott P is the man!! I love this lesson!
That kit is gorgeous. I love my Concept Maple.
Very cool. My goodness those drums sound so darn good.
Beautiful exercise, thanks for posting.
Fun Exercise :)
Good lesson!!
this has helped me a lot thanks

damien gonzalez John Bonham’s “Bonham triplets” are pretty similar, you can see him play them really fast in any live version of dazed and confused
Valuable lesson... Thanks for posting..
It's a Billy Cobham idea which became very popular back in the days
That's a good one. That's a mind bender.
Gavin Harrison taught this on Drumeo, who in turn said was inspired by Bill Bruford afaik.
I love Gavin Harrison
And Mark Giuliani did some version of this as well but with polyrythms
Considering how many people have taught this... They must be running out of material. Didn't they have some old lady marching corps person teaching paradiddles? How many times are they going to teach the paradiddle? They need help.
@@andysimmons311 yes, and I love Bill Bruford
Also Billy Cobham did something similar
Paul great job on explaining this concept Billy Cobham made this concept famous I'm glad your bring it back to a fresh perspective
Paul who? his name is Scott.
My drumteacher was teaching me that back in the 70ths,i don't know how many times i throwed my sticks away.Very good exercise.
Very nice 👍
Great job thank you 🙏
Luv it ❤

turn these in to triplets withe kick after the LR sticking you got a classic Bonzo fill. Going incorporate this in my practice.
So cool.
Nice cymbalssss
Mr. Miyagi aproves.
Very cool exercise..so our brains got crazy to learn how to coordinate the two arms...but the exercise sound very good
Sounds like a kung fu movie soundtrack
Seems like what Buddy Rich did in his solo.
Is that a PDP kit? Those toms are like bass drums with hoops and claws. Sounds good.
Yep it’s a pdp concept classic
Scott Pellegrom vs The World
I learned this as a kid it was called “round the world”
Basically an exercise you’d do in drumline with Tenors but adapted to the drumkit.

Metranome practice and lots of it IMHO
@@iloveNgany I already do that😢😢

@@xcodychaosx Okay... I'll make sure to do that. Thank You.

Hello jazz, I'm coming for you
What s thename of the guy?
Meh. I've been waxing my car for 30 years and I still don't know karate.
😂deserves more likes
You'd think I'd be a better drummer from all the waxing off I do. Pretty good forearm strength though.
get that dude some water already!
Brian Albus good lord all I can hear now hahaha
😭🤯🤯🤯🤯😱
I lost it at about 3 mins
Is it me or does he looks like Michael Keaton ??
It’s you
Luisito comunica on drums
Some people wax off all of the time.
