This 2022 Santa Clara Vanguard Drumline Reaction Can Teach You Something
Просмотров 23 тыс.Год назад
The original idea was to compare 2022 Bluecoats Drumline versus 2022 Santa Clara Vanguard Drumline to see who was better. But man, I picked an interesting recording of SCV and it inspired me to ditch the comparison in favor of a teaching moment. I hope you enjoy this unorthodox take on a drumline reaction video. #reaction #drumline #vanguard Featured Vids: ruclips.net/video/RtWG2TjXZjU/видео.ht...

Perfect Drum Rolls - Human VS Computer
Просмотров 1 тыс.Год назад
A lot of people recommend practicing accenting the second note of a diddle in order to achieve a stronger diddle. The idea is that we do this to try and get every note to sound EXACTLY the same. Is it worth it to do this? Do we actually want every note to sound exactly the same when playing double stroke rolls? I'm sure we all agree that good timing is one thing, but do I really want every note...

YES! It is possible to achieve a good rebound with a drumstick without relying solely on "the fulcrum"! It just takes a little bit of patience and experimentation, and it'll pay off in the long run. #drumlessons #drums #hitadrum

How to Hold Drumsticks (It's Really Easy)
Просмотров 8132 года назад
Holding drumsticks is easy! Your grip should support the idea that you're using your body to create music, and that's what I'm teaching in this video. Don't overthink it, and don't let people overthink it for you. Keep it simple and relaxed. Contact without pressure is the name of the game! #drumlessons #drumline #drumset
Beetle has these back in stock for the holidays. I didn’t hesitate and picked one up. Can’t wait till it’s here!
YESSSSSS! Such a great pad!
I need one
Do it, do it, do it, DOOO IT!
Rcp active snare pad. My favorite and has a really good rim.
Ah yes.. I've heard of these! I should give it a....shot? Lolololololol, man I'm old. #dadjokes
I luv that baseball cap!
Thanks! It's a custom hat from Sandlot Goods. I don't know if they're doing customs right now.. 🫤
how long did it take you to get it shipped to you?
I honestly don't remember ... BUT, I don't remember it taking too terribly long.
Xymox
Perhaps I'll roll the dice on them.. lol
Definitely recommend RamPad. I have one and you can absolutely feel the difference between a shot and a miss.
RamPad is for sure on my list! Can't wait to get back to making videos!
This video is invaluable to me. I’ve been constantly evaluating and refining my technique since my last formal instruction over 10 years ago. Your advice has allowed me to give myself permission to ditch the fulcrum-centric approach and keep the butt of the stick from flying away from my palm. Would you say this approach is reflective of Rennick’s? I’ve always admired the technique of the groups he instructs.
I did spend a good amount of my formative years playing in his lines.. 🤔 I like the way you put it: "fulcrum-centric". For me, the fulcrum isn't the starting point, but it is a valuable tool. I found that when I make it the starting point for beginners, they latch onto it so much that it becomes the foundation of their grip. To me, making the fulcrum the foundation of the grip is a bit like walking around on your tiptoes all day. While that's great for sprinting, I'm not sure it's as good for every day walking around. Use it when you need it. I'm delighted that the video helped! Don't forget; nothing's black and white, and get a local private teacher if you don't already have one! Happy drumming! 🥁
@@paddric_ryan I love the analogy! Thank you for the content and your response. Any recommendations on instructors who might exemplify the Rennick approach, even if virtual? 😎
@@nbctheoffice oh, that's tough. Lol, it could be just about anyone! At the end of the day, what really matters is playing musically and developing your ears.
Rudimental Control practice pad might achieve the feel that you are looking for
Oooh, I'll add it to my list!
👏
Sounds like maybe a long bus ride
For sure! They're out for blood this year and it warms my heart!
Just picked one of these up. Love it. Had kind of a cheaper pad before this and this is the 1st pad I have really spent decent money on. Now I feel like I have some "pad hands" going on though lol. Just not used to the response and I feel like my sticks sorta get away from me. Kinda sucks lol. Thems the breaks I guess.
Thems the breaks, indeed. The snare breaks!!
@@paddric_ryan Oh yeeea🤘
Found this video while patiently waiting for my practice pad to arrive after the Memorial Day sale. Can’t wait to receive my pad after watching your review!
This is still my favorite pad! Enjoy it!
I wonder if there are gonna be any vets at all for 24 cause isn't there a ruling against coming back to a corps after a year break?
I'm certain there are vets. 🙃
I was debating on getting either this pad or an off world invader v3 VML, but they changed the V3 design so it no longer has the dark matter on the bottom. Which one do you think is more worth getting?
Right now, at this very moment (03 May 2024 lol), I'd go with the Invader. They're on sale! Even though I have no idea what the other side feels or sounds like, you're getting more pad for your money! Remember, you can take the VML off and put it back on. The IP pad only has one intended playing surface.
@@paddric_ryan lol, I didn’t know you could take the vml off! That definitely helps. Now they have like the same kind of material on the bottom that the ip pad has so I want very sure how much different the pads are. Thank you!
@@joshlozano2732 I thought the new bottom was more of a recycled tire rubber, like what Beetle pads have... 🤔 The IP is mouse pad material and it doesn't give me the impression they want you to play on it - it's just to keep it from sliding around on table tops.
@@paddric_ryan ohhhh, that makes more sense. I thought the bottom was just like the ip pads. I see that now
Two cardinal rules,. Sticks up Shut up, and Don’t Drum On The Way!. I’ll never forget. Tom Float and Paul Rennick together at VK. In 1994. Just the best times in my life. I found this genius site last night. What took me so long? 😂 Maaan just hearing these words and concepts make me feel at home. Thank you @paddric Ryan. Thank you.
Wow! I totally forgot about not drumming on the way! Thank YOU for reaching into my mental archives and pulling THAT one out!
One of my friends has this pad and let me try it and i love it Also green is my favorite color I need to get this at some point
It is decided. Buy it. Buy it NOW. This is the way.
1:09 Ha phantom 03 snare break. Can’t believe I could actually recognize it. The snare breaks in that show were so fire, so sad to see how little coverage there is on the internet.
Good ear! Yeah, it breaks my heart how little there is of us. I have a few audio recordings from random folks who had mini disc recorders in the lot. In fact, out of the few videos of us from that year, the best ones are from when the Vic Forth team came out. They're relatively short clips, but the audio quality is really good. Fun fact: Phantom Regiment still had a year left on a contract with Vic Forth, so we struck a deal to use their stuff in the battery and IP in the pit. It was weird using Hardimons 🤣
Is this similar to "playing from the back of the hand" thingy? Where the fulcrum is in the wrist instead of the front?
Quite similar! This video is meant to be a high-level overview of a starting point. This is usually where I start my students. Later on, when I teach other parts of the grip and how to use them, the "front" fulcrum becomes more of a tool and less of the main focus of technique.
👍🏻
Word. Drummers are stick-dribblers. The very first moment I have with a new student is us in my driveway with a basketball thinking about the physics of dribbling that thing. 👍🏻 Finger-dribbling vid. ruclips.net/video/adh7n3DtaHU/видео.htmlsi=2nv5yx1IeGg02ujI
Creating the energy is the easy part.. guiding it effectively is the trick!
Laminate or no laminate? What should I get lol
Get it with the laminate.. that way, you can take it off and put it back on whenever you want. 🤓
Drummers like Kiichi and Keelan has clean rolls. Yet, they still sounds as a human and not computer(Man, those guys are absolute beasts)
It's certainly a fine line, isn't it? This video is a bit of a thought experiment and I'm so glad people are taking a moment to consider their practice goals and what sounds they create. Thanks for watching!
What years did you march with scv
I was in the 2002 Crown snareline, 2002 UNT PASIC snareline, 2003 and 2004 Phantom Regiment snareline. Thanks for thinking I'm young enough to have marched since he's been at SCV. 🙃
its so interesting to hear you talking about the struggle at 19:50 or something like that, especially after have marching this past 2023 season. i understand what it feels like to be pushing through a performance.
It always blew my mind how we spend so much time thinking about how to hit the drum to only get to the point where we have to just let go and trust. THEN start to manage our thoughts. I wish more people knew just how difficult the activity actually is.
🔥🫶
The trough metaphor might as well be a zen koan.
Truly unlocked my brain to the idea that words are more than their dictionary definitions. I'm so thankful for that experience at such a (relatively) young age.
Hey Paddric, Colts 1994 snare line Age out here, I see what you see, SCV is always an incredible line, what went on with the line that day I have no clue but it was painful to watch. Totally not the normal SCV line I know. We had a kid in our line that had marched for years, he was like a 2nd year member when I was a rook in 1991, we knew he was home sick, didn't want to march that year but his low energy drug all 8 of us down all Corn Field and Midwest tours. Soon as he quit and left, our energy went through the roof the rest of the season man. I'm willing to bet that's close to what was going on.
It's a topic close to my heart. I had some battles to deal with when I matched, and I know that the mental game is crucial to success in the activity. I just wanted to shine a light on how hard these kids work - down to their souls. Thanks for sharing your story. I'm delighted that this video resonates with so many people!
YOO dude this is a super super solid video ! Keep em coming !!!
I've got a few in the works - thanks for the support!
awesome. as a fellow creative I enjoy your style @@paddric_ryan
Been playing them for 10+ years, brilliant pads!!
They're so friggin S O L I D
Amazing review! 👍 I just wanted to ask, how would i contact Steve Weiss to order a matching pair of sticks? I’ve ordered from their store in the past but i never knew how i could request for a matching pair.
Thank you! If I remember correctly, there was a comment box during check out where I could leave a message. To be clear, I only requested that they try and grab the highest pitched pairs (I ordered two pairs). In my experience, IP does a good job at matching sticks, you just have to sometimes hunt for ones that are high pitched. I expected each pair to match themselves, but what I didn't expect was that the pairs would match each other. Lol, so now I have four sticks that are all the same high pitch, which is great!
Really great discussion on the mental game within the game. This stuff isn't talked about enough. I marched open class with 7th Regiment in '12/'13 (snare/quads). The mental infections definitely spread for sure, especially to rookies, for better and for worse. Our whole '12 line (loaded with rookies, including me) fought numerous mental battles that summer, but then returned as vets in '13. I switched from snare to join the 3-man quadline as their 4th. The quad vets I had joined were silent in rehearsal but led by example; they had laser-focus every rep, which had spread to me (trying to emulate their focus). A "good" disease in that case. The snareline in '13 was a different story - basically half-vets/half-rookies, and when someone had a bad day (especially a vet), the rookies succumbed to the disease hard and would start ticking reps all day. It was tough to see, and they definitely heard it all from the staff. Especially the vets got reamed for not setting the example. Feedback to us (quads) from staff was simple: "Keep setting the example, and keep demonstrating what can be achieved. They [snares] will catch on. Don't let off the gas pedal." Ultimately the snares did catch up to us, but it took some time. I think the snare rookies' confidence levels dropped mid-summer when they saw snare vets losing focus in rehearsal in the heat. I'm glad they turned around. Some of those snares were outstanding and went on to march World Class. I aged out that season.
It's endlessly fascinating to me, and that's one of the biggest lessons I learned under Paul and Sandi; your mental state matters a TON. I constantly tell my students that I'm a brain teacher, not a drum teacher. Lol
Hi Paddric. Excellent instruction from your cool vids: grateful! Question? Can you explain the white wrap on the shoulder of the sticks? Is that for a visual effect or to protect wood from rimshots, maybe both? Just curious. I’ve never played in a marching band (only drumset), so I have no clue. Cheers..
Great question! It's both. It helps the sticks contrast against most marching band uniforms with the benefit of adding a bit more durability. I still do it so that my sticks are more visible while teaching, and I like them to be a little more front heavy. Now you've got me curious just how much weight I'm adding.. lol
Hey sir. Can you do a video about Wrist, Forearms and Fingers(how or when should we use them when we play a certain strokes)?
It's funny, I was just talking about this last week with a student. I definitely have some thoughts, and I need to come up with a way to present that in a video because I think it's really important. Lol, so.. thanks for the reminder!
Would you recommend the German Grip or the American Grip?
I tend to lean towards American.
Can you test the off world BYOsphere perchance? They changed the design in 2022 but I haven’t seen any reviews on it
It's definitely on my list!
Im gonna pop the big question is this the best marching snare pad on the market today, If not, what is?
Of the ones I own, this is my favorite.
In final thought. would u recomend the V3 or the IP???
I think you get more bang for your buck with Offworld.
Hey, do you know if there is a difference in the one with the VML and without the VML????
I think they're exactly the same. Seems like the move is to get the one with the VML since you can take it off and put it back on whenever you like.
@@paddric_ryan thank a bunch man. i apreciate it
Dude I love your style of content. The different motifs and references you cover in your videos just make me smile and are so cool to listen to. Definitely deserve more views. Keep it up!
Comments like this are the BEST! Thank you so much! Yes, it would be great to monetize, but THIS is why I make videos! I'm gearing up to make more - life's just been in slightly in the way. Lol
Number one thing the Hebron director gave us as a band was our motto. All In All The Time. Practice how you’ll play and leave it all on the field and great things will come from it
I was lucky enough to get 2018 Vanguard bass 3 Mr Koch as my percussion instructor along with center snare Mr Gardener to tech and confidence was one of the biggest things they taught us
It really counts for more than people think, and it takes practice to fully wield that power!
This gonna drive me crazy what are those white sticks ive been searching Fs pr for an hour now can I get a link please 🙏
My dumbass finally figured it out mb
🤣 I'm glad!
the most durable pad in the market
Oh yeah, the thing is a TANK.
I was looking at the Galapagos pad by The Turtle Pad and I don't know how good of a pad it is so it would be cool if you reviewed it.
Yeah, I just heard about them not too long ago and I added them to my list! Lol
Glad SCV is coming out again next season. They were sorely missed.
Oh I know... They're gonna be HUNGRY. I can't wait!
I loved how the background battery audio synced up so well with the background music. That just made my day.
Thanks for noticing! I try to do stuff like that in every video.. little timing easter eggs. Lol
you are doing so freaking well!!! so proud of you! great videos 🎉
Yay! Thank you! 🥰
Fantastic video! I'm in the process of writing a percussion manual for the students/staff where I teach, and you've given me a lot of ideas of what to include. In this video and in others. Cheers!
Excellent! I love hearing from other educators! I'm a bit tied up with life right now, hoping to get some free time to make more videos.. I've got quite a few ideas brewing! Thanks for the support!
I marched the corps in 2019, but in the hornline. One thing I notice is that the affective aspect of the performance is a lot more subdued on the percussion side. We were encouraged to put in every ounce of big, overdrawn performance energy we had in us, but it's a lot more subtle on the drumline side. It's taken me a few years of teaching to be able to see it because Jonz always seemed so calm and put together to me. I appreciate you talking about the mental aspect because especially in a group like SCV, at least in my own experience, it's something we were encouraged to just flat out ignore. If you had a good day, perform. If you had a bad day, perform. If your tour crush turned you down, perform. If you're sick, perform. If you're hurting, perform. If you're tired, perform. If you're angry, perform. Not in so many words, but we were encouraged not to hold space for what kind of day anyone was having, and that's something I really don't want to pass on to my own students.
Paul and Sandi Rennick are masters at reading their players and guiding them through the season - I know from personal experience. It's truly one of the main reasons the players are so loyal to them. The "easy" answer is to try and tamp daily stressors down and just perform. The educator's job is to know their players well enough to create the space to overcome and sometimes teach them the tools. I got to speak with a few key people related to this video and man, they had a large emotional mountain to climb that day. I can't wait to see them next summer - I guarantee they're all stronger and have learned a lot. It's going to be fantastic!
@@paddric_ryan Me too, I'm excited to see them back!
