Absolutely love this! Great band great dynamics great playing and of course it’s Dr Steve Gadd!

iH Ken!! Its been almost a year since you left us. Miss the lessons you gave me. Still have the first sheet you gave me and to this day I Still work with it! Still playing with the big band you saw me with. Kicking it hard as I can(even with getting a minor stroke). I hope very much you and Jim Chapin worked out your differences. May You both RIP. God Bless. Best, Victor 🥁🏊‍♂️

Thank you for capturing all of this with Ken and posting it. If people were to really look and listen and be willing to accept that there are other valuable ideas than the ones in their minds, you’d see how far ahead Ken was in many areas of the activity.

Great work, wonderful book also for my advanced Students, thanks for sharing !

He's got a very clear picture of how the activity has gone down. Agree 100%

Hi Ken, thanks for these insights. I am in Australia and it is difficult to find good information about these styles.

Oh Ken...may You RIP. Had the Extreme pleasure of taking lessons from both. I don't see Ken's reason for attacking Jim Chapin out of nowhere 🤔. Did Jim break into Ken's house? Both were Great teachers! Ken had his style so did Jim. Did Ken ever sit down and have a lengthy chat about their individual techniques? Maybe in Heaven🤔 I said my peace. God Bless them!

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong. Mazur is painfully clueless and absurdly over-opinionated. He embarrasses himself with his ignorance, especially on this particular topic.

So typical of Mazur. He literally has no idea WTF he's even talking about.

Judges are trained to think and act serious🤤

Could've used this back in jr high jazz band!

Tämä mun piti laittaa.

Paras kuulemani versio tähän asti

Thank you for uploading all these. It’s so hard to find information on the techniques established before the 80s. Obviously things have changed a lot, but there’s a lot to get out of this.

Contrived...like George Washington's smile

Constipated sound...

Music? He said music? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Dinosaur drumming that lacks sophistication. The antithesis of Joe Morello.

Garbage.

That roll didn't sound good at all. Started with torpedoes and as it accelerated, it became unarticulated, uneven on the second note, weak, and sloppy. Fast...yes. Clean...no.

Olihan tämä kylän kovin :) legendaarinen Säily rummuissa.

Tämä kyllä toimii. Treenasin vielä silleen että ensin sama määrä RLrl rl vuoroa esim. 32iskua & perään 32 iskua rudimentteina 4*8 ja kaks tuntia siihen tyyliin vuorotteli, niin johan väänty asennot ja tempo nousi peräti 10btm, kiitti hyvästä neuvosta👍, tosi vaikea saada asentovirheitä korjattua, 😮

If "it's all about money" is the premise of any point you're making about drum corps, you've got no point

He used to throw sticks at ten year olds if he was not satisfied. Liked to drum on a Bible.

You still got it!!

Upeeta :)

This is a total strawman of what the Moeller technique is and what can be used for. I would highly recommend studying some videos of Jim Chapin explaining how the technique works before dismissing it as merely "wasted motion". It's absolutely anything but that if you know what you're doing.

The raised eyebrows. The exaggerated blinking. The near-total absence of social skills. The obsessive focus on historical minutae. It all makes you wonder if there isn't some Asperger's Syndrome going on here. And as far as Mazur's playing itself goes, I don't think you even need to play drums to see how tense it is. It might take some drumming experience to HEAR how tense it is, but the guy's body language alone speaks volumes about his drumming. And none of the extra stuff that he does -- all of the weird lifting of the sticks up to his forehead, etc -- will ever change the fact that his playing sounds tense, sloppy, choked-off and unrefined. Music is about sounds, and the sounds that this guy makes are, in my view, bordering on third-rate. Bummer to find out that after decades of this man's cursing, ranting, denigrating, belittling, and trashing some of the greatest rudimental drummers in the world, while simultaneously promoting himself as the keeper of some superior drumming wisdom that only old, dead drummers from the 14th century can comprehend, his playing is actually pretty fucking bad.

If one has not spent much time personally studying with a teacher of a technique, one doesn't know all of the facets of it. Moeller did not just teach wave strokes, He taught piston strokes like George L. Stone and he also taught pull-outs with a lifting motion to help quality of sound. He also taught various principles used by William Gladstone. The technique of employing motion and freer stick motion were some of these facets that Jim Chapin knew, learned from Moeller, and utilized. It is obvious that you are not aware of this. William Andrews of the Moeller drum lines and George Carroll are other students of Moeller who were expert players of the Moeller style. Again, many modern players in the drum corps scene and in the drum set circles use aspects of the Moeller technique. It is a significant help to many players and has nothing to do with mediocrity. Speed, coordination, strength and quality of sound are all enhanced tremendously for any rudiment pattern as well as musical patterns on any percussion instrument. When I interviewed Elderich Arsenault and Eric Perilloux and discussed Moeller with them, they were more than complimentary of his technique.

Your comments on the Moeller technique are unfortunate and completely off the truth. Many of the world's best drummers including rudimental drummers use parts of the Moeller technique in various ways. To say that it is the dumbing down of drumming is completely ridiculous and offensive. Jim Chapin had some of the greatest hands in drumming of any style in history while playing rudiments and applying them to the drum set.. Watching you break down rudiments with the tension that you use explains to me your comments. The Moeller technique is about many things including developing great coordination, flexibility, speed, and smoothness allowing one to apply these concepts to any percussion instrument in any setting. Sorry to hear with your experience that you make these claims about one of the best techniques in any art form.

GREAT FEELING, STEVE GADD WONDERFULL, AMAZING CONGRATULATIONS !!! URUGUAY MONTEVIDEO MANGA🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾

Kiitos mielenkiintoisesta luennosta.

Kehityksen junasta pudonneena ja Maestron iässä epäilin, että en jaksa luentoa kuunnella. 2 tuntia meni peruuttaen... onneksi taisin ymmärtää, vaikken tässä elämässä tuota esitteyä saa haltuun. Kivasti myös vilahti 80-luvun tyylisuuntaa ja Matti Oiling tuli mieleen... niin... jäin odottamaan häämarssin demostraatiota 😎

Who is the creepy guy whispering "yeah" in the background. Blah. Great chops still though, for sure

I'd be interested in buying all these cymbals if they are for sale. Thanks.

After all that greatness, that little nod at the very end just slays me - "Hm. Not bad." Nope. Not bad at all, Mr. Godd - I mean Gadd.

Any interest in selling the 20"?

Olin toisessa illassa 70-luvulla vanhassa oopperatalossa. Tiettävästi setäni aloitti ensi-iltanäytöksen loppu- aploodeissa virren "Herraa hyvää kiittäkää ...".

Loistava analyysi ja hyviä vinkkejä joilla fiksailla omaa soundia. Meillä yliopiston big bandin kanssa työn alla juuri tää Basically Blues, vähän reippaampi tempo tosin :D Laitan tubekanavalleni videoita koulun kokoonpanoista ja muilta keikoilta sitä mukaa kun niitä tulee.

Onnistunut ja vakuuttava esittely. Tässä ollaan jo American levelillä. Suomen jazz-osasto nousee. Itse en tässä elämässä tälle levelille pääse, joten suosittelen valoa lahjakkaammille 👍

What do you think the rough weight is for the 22?

Sinuhun turvaan, Jumala, mua häpeästä säästä. Sä kuule heikon huutoa, sen korvihis suo päästä. Ah armoinen, sua rukoilen, mua kuule Kristuksessa, sä linnani ja turvani, mua auta taistellessa. Ken hyvyyttäsi milloinkaan vois mitata maan päällä! Mun muistaa suo se ainiaan, jo kiittää siitä täällä. Sun hyvyytes ja totuutes mun sydämeeni paina, niin että myös sun armotyös mä ilmitoisin aina. Sun voimaas tahdon julistaa ja kiittää armoasi, niin että lastenlapset saa myös nähdä kunniasi. Mun pelastat ja uudistat rauenneen toivon mulle, siis sieluni ja mieleni tuo kiitoksensa sulle.

I would love to hear what Ken has to say about Virgil Donati's technique. Thank you.

There's something very, very right about the shout chorus.

Brutally honest and skill

This is some dog shit

Mr.Mazur played on that cardboard box like it was nothing, and it sounded beautiful with perfect control, execution, and power he has monster skills and chops... and lotsa knowledge ......Awesome!!!!!!
