Michael Nesi
Добавлен 11 окт 2015
Welcome to my RUclips channel. I'm Michael Nesi and and I've had the great fortune to study with a lot of amazing drummers over the years. I wanted to create a community where I can not only share things passed on to me but also my own ideas. Since I was young, I have taken musical assignments well beyond what was asked of me. A simple assignment in many cases has turned into lifelong pursuits, for example I have hundreds of Alan Dawson like systems that I have developed to assist me in learning a particular topic or area and I think these may also be found useful to others.

Elvin Jones Ari Hoenig System Snare Buzzed
Hi, apart from the snare/toms alternating, and the snare/hh/bd thing, are you following a particular phrasing on that one? thanks
Yes, there is a detailed explanation on this video. ruclips.net/video/DUdlM98RMZE/видео.html
I am using top line from melody 8 in Ari Hoenig's book.
@@michaelnesi0827 Thank you

@@littledoodle5689 thank you!
Awesome I played this song with my band for a concert
@@micahhill7103 thank you!
Its like a puzzle that must be put together...WHAT JAZZ IS THIS?!
It is just a way I practice. If I am working on a solo, Pot Luck is pretty Fast, both are 12 bar blues so I loop the Pot Luck solo against this and other slower tunes like "Blues for Elvin", a lot of fun.
Clean, cool & timeless ☺️👌🏻
Thanks for watching!
Jammer dat er geen notatie is pdf
It an exercise from his book.
Nice work. Are you primarily interested in jazz drumming? If so, what prompted you to use match grip? I played a lot of rock and enjoyed attempting prog rock and fusion so match just seemed logical. Also, I play open handed on a righty kit. Just wondered
@@jivadaya6439 I am also an open handed player, everything I play I can also play left hand lead. I have skills playing traditional but the open handed playing (because I am nuts), forced me to have to practice traditional grip both righty and lefty. So I decided to focus on match, I also play a lot of genres.
@@michaelnesi0827 Thanks for the response. Once again, I enjoy watching you play, my hat is off to you, sir

Nice syncopation.

How to create such an idea on syncopation?😮
Bill Stewart played it at one of the Modern Drummer festivals. I just reversed what he did in addition.
Groove 👍 👍
@@ramsingivargis6616 thanks
Awesome rhythm! Is that from a book?
@@ravestar_supreme I am using the book Syncopation Melody 2. There is a pdf in the details.

Too bright on the snare, Chie
I am in agreement, I have changed my snare tuning since then.
Thanks for watching.
Stumbled on this video. Lovely playing. Nice homage to Elvin. Respect from the UK.

Thanks very much! He is playing RLRF(4),RLRLF(5),RLRF(4),RLRLF(5), RLRF(4),RL (24 Notes, two measures of 1/8 note triplets). You can get the transcription from Kevin Oshea Video, I will put link in details.

Very nice tuning!

Good morning Michael. Loved the subtle bass drum accents and the left hand doubles, very nice. More homework for me.
@@cyberceil thanks very much!
Nice Michel.like every thing you do. The hi hat and snare very tasty. My turn 😊
@@cyberceil thank you!
sounds really cool!
@@martinmitt6265 thank you!
this twisted my mind lol it helped to think of the ride cymbal as straight time, no triplets. it seems that's how you are playing it? the parts that i cant fully grasp are the bars where there are triplets w/the kick/snare, while the ride is in straight time w/the dotted 16ths. are they happening same time, triplet and straight time? i slowed your stuff way way down and it seems you sometimes place the snare/kick triplet stuff on the same time as the ride (in effect expanding the triplet feel to the ride), BUT sometimes it appears you are doing a true triplet with the kick/snare while the ride stays with straight time. for me, to combine this feels super hard, but haven't quite practiced it. i could be wrong, just trying to make sense! any thoughts you have on this i'll take! If i am thinking about it wrong, or whatever. regardless what you are doing it all sounds and feels very good! Thank you!
Thanks for watching. This is super tricky because it has 1/16, 1/8, and 1/8 note triplets all in the solo. I reduced to it 50% and I am counting the triplets on the ride. When I encounter triplets in the solo they should align with the ride, 1/8, and 1/16 should not. No easy to do! I have a recording of Jim playing it with a bas layer, I will out a link in the details soon.
@@michaelnesi0827 got it, i think... so you ARE doing a triplet feel with the ride, AND you are layering that at certain bars with 1/8 or 1/16 notes w/various snare/BD patterns. in effect mixing triplet and straight time among different pieces of the kit am i understanding right? thank you for taking the time!
@@mcstivi yes, for the time keeping and the soloing I am reading and playing as notated. This is a page from Jim’s book the last page solo 2.
Wow so clean! Great clip! 😃 I have a technical question if you don’t mind me asking. I tried going through this book many many years ago. But what always confused me was the implied / instructed swing interpretation of the 16th notes, but then having (I think?) straight 16th comping notes under the swinging ride cymbal. From your demonstration it looks/sounds like the comping limbs when notated as 16th notes are meant to be played like a 3 over 4 phrasing at times? (Apologies if this is a silly question, back in the day when i looked at these exercises RUclips didn’t exist 😅)
Thank you for the kind words. I was lucky to have studied with Jim when I was young. Many of the exercises are based on songs. I have other Jim Chapin based videos where you can download a list of them. Jim always sung when he played. There were audio recordings of Jim playing the exercises but were not included it was written in 1948. I believe he recorded them in the 60’s. I have some older LPs that are considered bootleg, they came with a version of the book as well, then they added them to the book purchase in recent years. Many of the early jazz books were written in 1/16 notes, Dom Famularo told me why specific to Jim’s, but I don’t recall. I may have an audio recording of his explanation. Anyway, the final exercise has 1/8, 1/8 note triplets, and 1/16 note notation. I try and keep the ride on 1/8 note triplets and play the 1/16 and 1/8 notes straight since triplets are also present. You could potentially swing everything at a slower tempo. The accents are another challenge. I practiced the book many ways, as written, and swung in certain examples. You can also play the 16ths as an up-tempo version converting them to 1/8 notes. The funk solo I did is essentially that. Hope this helps it is a complicated topic.
@@michaelnesi0827 wow thanks for the thorough reply! And how cool to have studied with Jim too!! I’ll have to get my copy of this book out and have another read through to apply / contextualise what you’ve just written. Thank you again! :))
beautiful work, what is the bass drum notation on mambo swing?
Thanks very much! It is 3/4 and a two measure groove. most of the time, it is on beat one in measure 1, and in measure two, the third note of the triplet on beat 2. It is a beautiful pattern the way the hi hat and bass drum compliment one another.
this is incredible. one of the most interesting jazz lines ive heard. can you post a pic of that transcript? thank you!
Thanks very much. Added to the comments.

@@constantkiffer7924 thank you!
Could you break down what you're doing before moving to the toms? I see your markings in the book but I'm struggling to put together exactly how it works in relation to the comping.
@@giantpunchprojects I play 8 measures of comping then use the top line of Syncopation ex, 1 and 2 which equates to 8 measures. I am thinking of the syncopation measure in terms of Jazz notation. The triplets are RFR, LFL, F=BD. Orchestration is based on long and short notes. Short notes on high tom, long on floor tom.
@@michaelnesi0827 The comping is improvised? That's some killer playing. Thank you for the explanation.
@@giantpunchprojects yes, thanks very much!
Incredible playing. What cymbals are you using?
Thank you! I am using Istanbul Agop 30th Anniversary Series, 22" Ride on Right, 20" Ride on Left. 14 " HH on left, 12" on the right. I love them.
