- Here is part 8 of a video series on playing and practicing Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer by Jim Chapin.
This lesson covers Section 4 Part D, pages 44-51 which is the Hand/Foot 16th note rhythms section as well as the bebop fill-ins and the two final etudes.
In this series I will play through most of the exercises and solos in the book chapter by chapter so you can get a feel for what it should sound like.
This classic book was the first of it's kind back in the late 1940's and the subject was jazz coordination. The book teaches coordination in the swing and early be-bop styles which was what was being created in those days.
Like most of you this was the first jazz coordination book I worked on starting at 11 years old. At that time I thought it was impossible to play but I managed to get through it slowly with the guidance of a great teacher.
Today the book is slightly dated with much more modern approaches available. It is however still very relevant, fun, and challenging to play and I use it with students to supplement other texts that I employ.
In this part 1 of the series I give a brief introduction to the book as well as my history with it. I also cover the first chapter which contains shuffle rhythms.
The drums used in the video are Gretsch Centennial from 1983.
The sizes of these drums are: 18"x14" bass,10",12",14" toms and a 14"x 6.5" snare.
The cymbals in this video are all 1940's- 1960's K Zildjian except for a Paiste 22" swish.
Cymbal sizes
21" ride
18"crash/ride w/rivets
16" crash
15" Hi Hats
22" Paiste swish/china with rivets
The drum heads are all calf skin.
Microphones are a AKG C24 stereo overhead and an Shure Beta 52 on the Bass drum.
Fantastic Rick. Your playing and the teachings in your videos are gold.
Great Rick, no one else does this!!
Amazing stuff! This kind of exercises reminds me to Philly Jo's playing in Blue Train and Jimmy Cobb's in Bye Bye Blackbird. They kept on swinging in primary time with the ride and they played in double time with the hi hat and snare. In this case you keep on time with the ride and hats and your playing in between the snare and bass drum seems Coltrane's or Cannonball's phrasing, really cool! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful exercises!
Excellent. Thanks! Looking forward to your videos and teaching “Volume 2, The Open End “ .
Possible? :-)
Very beautiful!
Thank you very much Rick
Thanks Rick. Really great to hear how this is played and how it sounds in faster tempos. ❤️
You make it look so easy. Left hand of the gods.
I wish I’d watched you many many years ago as I myself sat with the Chapin book....but sadly there was not the tech! You make it so musical and that’s a fact. All I did was panick at the turn if each page. It takes a musical approach and that’s what you give by the bucket full!
Greatful, Rick, you offered us this splendid drum- video !🤗🙋🏻♂️
I am having trouble finding your books where can I find them.would like to purchase them.
