Collapsing Rolls In Grooves
Here's an approach to playing grooves where we substitute the backbeat for a "collapsing" roll.
I've done a whole video on collapsing rolls that you can watch here:

I've also written a pdf to accompany this video which you can download here:

I think it's important to remind students and those who want to break into the music scene, that the best music agent could be the very person they're learning from. I'm keen to hear of your own careers and what part your teacher played in getting into the music scene. Leave your comments below.

More Extended Paradiddle-diddles
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.5 месяцев назад
So here's yet another approach to extending the paradiddle-diddle but this time by adding doubles. We get some great sounding odd-time patterns with the addition of an orchestration approach I haven't shared till now. There are a couple in this series. You can watch them here.

Odd Groupings Using Two Paradiddles

Here's a simple but effective concept for creating odd groupings using paradiddles. To create the odd groupings we will be using just two different paradiddles: The Single Paradiddle and The Paradiddle.

How I Learn Music For A Gig
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.10 месяцев назад
A part of our job as musicians - and admittedly, a job I don't aways enjoy - is having to learn music for a gig. In this video I discuss my approaches for a couple of different scenarios that I often find myself in. At the end of the day we have to play it like we really know it (and love it!). I'm also keen to know what methods you use and what works for you, so feel free to leave comments in ...
Anti-Flamitory Exercises For Jazz Drummers

As a follow-on from last week's video, this video looks at 'Anti-Flamitory" exercises related to jazz drumming. These exercises will not only tidy up any flams between the left hand and right foot, but can also be developed as a hip "comping" approach.

Anti-Flamitory Exercises

I talk about this a lot. It's what I call "the weak relationship" and specifically - if you're a right handed/right footed drummer - the weak relationship is that between the left hand and right foot, especially when it comes to playing unisons between those two limbs. Here I present some simple (but difficult!) exercises to expose and remedy this issue. These are exercises I practise and pass ...

Soloing: AAAB Phrases
Просмотров 5 тыс.11 месяцев назад
In this video I discuss and demonstrate a way of phrasing in solos that has its origins in jazz but can also be applied to contemporary playing. Steve Gadd is a prime example of this approach. Repetition in solos is a great way to ensure musicality in your phrasing as it connects your brain to what is being played, rather than playing licks and patterns purely from muscle memory. Here's the lin...

    I just tap them gently on the side of my head, the tone is very clear. I use it to match a pair for playing as I won’t have a set of scales at a gig. I’m not worried it being exact, just close enough so that one isn’t very high and other very low. Can normally find two sticks that are within about a semitone within a minute though so isn’t a hardship. I also give them a quick roll to make sure they’re straight as do get some bananas sometimes. This is all assuming I have time, if not I just grab two sticks, but I do notice the difference so prefer to pick them pre-gig if I can. If I was organised I would pair them and label them at home before, but I’m not. Some guys do weigh them and label them though, I’ve seen that. Or can try and keep them in pairs from the start but that would be too sensible!

I am 65 and I have been playing since age 14. I too love those little tasteful flourishes and touches that mark the player as a person to watch and listen to. A great drum sound too! Understatement and style is something I admire greatly in all musicianship and our case, in drumming. I look forward to exploring more of your videos, thank you, Michael

    I don't care how you call this "lick" - it's just aSIXTUPLET (R L L R R L ) or vice versa! Steve Gadd uses this "lick" in various ways: hands on two sounds (HiHat/Snare, or divided between Snare/Bass-Drum)

    • @darrynfarrugia9904
      @darrynfarrugia9904 3 месяца назад

      This is definitely NOT a sextuplet. These are 32nd notes played as doubles RRLLRRLL etc. Also, I don't refer to this as a "lick" in this video.

  • @MrDominiclynch
    @MrDominiclynch 3 месяца назад

    G'day Darryn, Thanks so much for releasing all of your highly informative and useful content. Regarding Collapsing Rolls,these require alot of finesse when one plays a rimshot followed by a ghost note on the same hand. Are you able to comment on ways one can gain this type of control when the tempo gets brisk and whilst attempting to excecute double strokes in 32nd note form? Thanks again mate, Dom.

  • @MinkSoda
    @MinkSoda 3 месяца назад

    I grew up as a rock drummer playing matched grip. My question involves use of the left hand for example At 12::20 you are playing a 3 bar lick using snare; kicl; mounted tom and floor tom. When your right hand accents on the toms your left hand is filling in all the spaces. When I try to do something similar it sounds like RLL RLL RLL and it has a staccato sound. when you play it it sounds like the left hand is doing more than just two Ghost Notes and you make it sound silky smooth and I love that. what can I do to make my left hand act like that when my right hand goes off to play accents on the rest of the drum set to make it sound smooth like that? you've got a new subscriber😁 thanks so much

    • @darrynfarrugia9904
      @darrynfarrugia9904 3 месяца назад

      For me the "secret sauce" is in the dynamics. I generally don't play more than a double in either hand when I'm playing like this so I would suggest that in order to smooth out your sound and have it less staccato, work on getting those double very quiet. Aim for a low rebound height of about 2" or 5cm. Paradiddles are good exercises for this. check out this video that I did which may help ruclips.net/video/Ah3-vnPWTqU/видео.html&ab_channel=DarrynFarrugia or you can check this out too ruclips.net/video/NT_0DW-Sko0/видео.html&ab_channel=DarrynFarrugia

    • @MinkSoda
      @MinkSoda 3 месяца назад

      Ah I see...if there was more than a double l would notice in the timing even by watching your sticks its like there isnt space to do much more than a double with the left anyway its the dynamics😮 thanks so much for your insight😊 now off to check out that link. Many thanks

    Thanks Darryn. Just checking - the collapsing role still starts with a double stroke? So it's RRLLR, with the accent on the first beat? Is this difficult to achieve if you're accenting with a rim shot?

      @darrynfarrugia9904 3 месяца назад

      That's correct. It's actually a double i.e. RRLLRRLL etc with an accent played on the first note. Nailing the rimshot does take a bit of practise. Stick with it and you'll get it.
