Phil Smith Groove Day 2024 Masterclass Rudimental Cheat Codes
This is my masterclass for Groove Day 2024 at South Plains College. I discuss logical and musical ways to learn and use rudiments.
I explain why I don't treat rudiments as drum set vocabulary but think of them as improvisational vocabulary. Other topics covered are musical ways to reframe and group rudiments to make them easier and more enjoyable to learn, synonym rudiments, metering rudiments, accent placement, active relaxation, and more.

Switching between Brushes and Sticks
Просмотров 2952 года назад
A smooth transition between brushes and sticks is a valuable technique that all drummers should master. There are numerous ways to accomplish this task. In this Two-Minute lesson, we'll discuss the most important aspects of this technique and the most common way to switch from brushes to sticks.
Tips for the Drummer As Music Director
Просмотров 472 года назад
In many professional situations, the drummer is often awarded the responsibility of music director. This job is unfamiliar territory for many drummers and often brings anxiety with the title! In this Two-Minute lesson, we discuss the best and worst traits of an MD and how you can maximize your ability to do a good job.
Do you play accents correctly?
Просмотров 712 года назад
Many drummers believe that by simply playing an accent louder, they are interpreting the music correctly. Not so fast. In this Two-Minute lesson, we discuss how accents are often misplayed and how to execute them with proper concept and technique.
Should Your Cymbals Cut or Blend?
Просмотров 2962 года назад
Unlike tuning drums, when you buy a cymbal, you have to live with the sound it produces. One of the sound characteristics we often look for is the ability to either cut through loud amplification or blend into the mix without distracting from the music. In this Two-Minute Lesson, we'll dive into how two disparate cymbals affect the same song.
Brushes in 3/4

This lesson was by request. In this video, I'll show you a different twist on playing brushes in 3/4. This pattern doesn't use brush taps like many others. Rather, its subtlety relies on smooth sweeps and thups.

Ride Cymbal Phrasing with the Pendulum Motion
I believe it was Ed Green on Sara smile. The fields are more rigid than Jim Gordon smooth style and yes, it was him on Summer breeze listen to the fills

You’ve got most everything right except it was Ed Green on Sarah smile listen to the Phils. They’re a lot more mechanical than Jim Gordon’s smooth touch.
Keltner was a much more dynamic and interesting drummer BY FAR! Gordon was a decent pocket drummer, but rarely found any textures in the music! If you listen to studio giant Hal Blaine, then you will figure out, who Gordon tried to mimic; which kept him employed!
I love Rod !!
Very cool! Amazing drummer 🔥
Nice overview. Dumbfounded how you don’t play his solo from Apostrophe as the sample, though. 😳 The fills he does on “Anyday” from Layla are amazing, never the same thing twice. Best of all, his playing on The Derek Live at the Fillmore blows me away-especially “Got To Get Better…” Thanks for putting this up.
I enjoyed this video very much. Roger's contributions influenced many drummers of my generation. One song I expose my students to is "When A Man Loves a Woman" by Percy Sledge. It was mentioned here. If one listens closely to bridge, the ride cymbal doubles into a 16th note triplet shuffle. The 16th note triplet shuffle pattern at that tempo is very difficult. Yet Roger does it flawlessly and in time. It is challenging and I recommend drummers to try and master it. Many Brazilian drummers do a similar pattern with eight notes at faster tempos. It requires relaxation and technique to pull off. Give it a shot and Roger's playing takes on a different level of technique and feel.
Please do a part 2 with Ted ! Thx
Please, all aspiring drummers in the Atlanta area, please do yourself a favor and study with Ted. I studied with Ted for around 2 years & learned so much. Ted is a great teacher,thx.
Most drummers have no concept of opening and closing the Hats on individual 16th notes while still keeping time- especially involving syncopation. David Garibaldi of the band 'Tower of Power' was a master of that technique, but only a few other drummers know how to do it. You should be able to open and close the Hats on any beat in virtually any groove! After doing it for decades, I'm still learning new techniques that I never hear anywhere!
Dude can straight up groove
Very helpful explanations. Reno show at GSR was incredible stuff. Thanks for being you.
Most explanations anywhere,including here on youtube or even in most well established musical school scenarios, fail to address this seemingly trivial topic as indept and as thoroughly as it is dealt with jere in this very video. I am a drummer of many years myself and with ample big band experience and ive nonproblem admitting here that ive never advised former students of mine nor personally addressed this topic and subsequent issue as well and properly as this drummer has in this video here! To be clearer, im impressed and I have reverted to being a student again myself. Perfectly explained and a rather important topic to discuss tor any drummer dealing with written chart figures and the philosophical approach to executing them. Bothe for the tune and the orchestra. Wholst id love to wax on about the challenging dynamic of achieving perfect off beat hit displacements against a band that has its own quarter note pulse understanding contrary to the drummers playing and indicating. The fact remains that the ideal execution is based on a standardised quarter that the drummer must hear and feel and as informed by knowledge of the piece form snd melody. My comductor likes my timing but the rest of the band isnt on yet on my nor the conductors time. Im in the amateurs though. This drum teacher explains the ideal and the rinviples perfectly. Im glad i watched and shamefully will steal the lesson i was taught her but in good conscience i will refernce my source(this guy, video and channel), and i will point my drum students who are learning chart interpretation to view this channel for further reference and learning. Great video, great job
Thank you!
Did Roger play on So Much Love by Percy Sledge?
Under rated humble drummer as if drumming wasn’t already a humble talent to be given by Christ Jesus !
Do you raise the front with one leg or both?
@@SticksReed both
@@DrummersWeeklyGroovecast Thanks
Really, REALLY great interview! How can you not love Sam! SO MUCH GROOVE!! 🔥🔥🔥
That Great Gretsch Sound. I’ve been fortunate enough to be playing Gretsch drums I was a child because my father was a Gretsch player from 1972 or 73. I am still playing that kit today. Since then I’ve purchased another USA Custom kit in 1999 ( Laquer natural maple). In 2014 I purchased a Brooklyn Kit in Vintage Cream Oyster. In addition to that I have owned at least 8 Gretsch snares. The ones remaining in my showcase are the Vinnie Colaiuta God Bless America singnature model from 2003 , A Harvey Mason Grand Old Flag signature model also from 2002 . A Harvey Mason Broadkaster in satin Ebony from 1998, and a Vinnie Signature Whitewash Laquer with Matte Black hoops and hardware, all of these drums are unplayed , untuned and placed right into the showcase. I am VERY Proud to own these drums. I had the pleasure of meeting Paul Cooper and the Gretsch family in NYC the Cutting Room for Gretsch’s 140th Anniversary celebration. Thanks for posting, Paul G
Jim was a dear friend for 20 years. I do not like this.
@@susanedrington4878 can you explain what you don't like?
I think this honoring the best studio drummer. What’s not to like?
Vacaville is a California Department of Corrections prison/ medical facility where Jim resided until his passing. What a great drummer he was . Glad I got to see/ hear him with Bonnie , Delaney & friends opening for Blind Faith in Santa Barbara many moons ago. 😎
That intro was EPIC. Blatt is One of The Greats 🥁🔥💯🏁Nice guy too.
Recently started lessons with Mr Bell after finding him on the internet and little did I know how lucky I am.
Summer breeze sounds like Guerin. Humming bird sounds like Gordon
Nope it was jim Gordon.. the sound of his drums gives it away
On summer breeze
I’ll try to confirm this with Ed Greene but I think he played drums on rich girl Gordon swings more his toms are tuned higher and they sustain
Yep, that's Jim on Rich Girl.
I agree. Eds fills are more staccato while Gordon’s are smoother. Ed is kind of known for his simple snare to Tom fills, where jim is more musical

He DOES PLAY ON RICH GIRL
❤ thank you so much

Yeah! Rosenblatt!
Great programme…….only knew Jim Gordon’s drumming from Layla……..and apostrophe…….thanks for the info🇮🇪👍
Jim Gordon did not have a "long running association" with Steely Dan. "Pretzel Logic" was the only album of theirs that he played on.
There's a different Jim Gordon who is a LA session horn player. His credits frequently get mistaken for drummer James Beck Gordon's (like on the Band's "Last Waltz" concert album, which people say is drummer Gordon when it's the other guy). They both made solo albums in the '60s, with horn player Jim Gordon's called "Jim Gordon Plays Heavy" while dummer Jim Gordon's was "Jimmy Gordon & His JazzNPops Band."
Glad you were at Berklee in 1973, your still a very tasteful player.
I would pay a semester's tuition just to attend a class like this! The history is presented in a way that is fascinating and keeps me wanting to hear more instead of being dry and boring. I am also reminded how much I loved the podcast. Thank you for sharing this. I can't believe it's an hour long, felt like 20 minutes because I was enjoying it so much.
Thanks, Larry! It's a lot of info packed into 60 minutes, and I just scratched the surface.
Rikki dont lose that number is a great drum part too.
5 lugs on the small toms is great, but why have 8 lugs on a 14" floor tom? Why not 7? Also, how old is this recording? DW isn't involved anymore.
Paul, I believe we visited back in 2017.
Fantastic content as usual!
Thank you, Larry!
Eric Clapton isn´t in the description/credits of the video??????
Sam is a badass
Im 72 yrs old and I agree. He was constantly drumming. Played on everybody's albums. I also read that he said...drumming helped keep the demons away. Plus that he didnt want to be released from prison. Alcohol, drugs and scitophinia...not a good combination.
It’s insane how close Sam lives to me, I’m not gonna say where exactly but I live about an hour away from him😭😭😭that is so crazy bc out of all place, he resides in north Georgia.I love Interpol so much, their music changed the entire trajectory of my life I wish I was exaggerating.They’re so freaking talented, no one is doing it like them. I saw them the 2nd of May, it was the most incredible experience of my life, I have never been so happy 😭I was on the verge of hyperventilating because I was freaking the fuck out🤣They deserve all the fame and recognition and words cannot describe how proud and happy I am for them, or the amount of I love for them.Shit i love them more than I love myself🤣and I hope to see them again on June 12 in Nashville❤️❤️❤️❤️LOVE YOU INTERPOL❤️❤️❤️
And Sonny was an alcoholic, which is sadly what led to his early death.
Sonny never used double bass. He would stand to get that ridiculous speed on the bass.
harika bir emek var. keyifle dinlemeye başladım. teşekkürler
What pedal and beaters are those?
Those are Axis pedals with custom beaters made for JR.
Zoro beater (square)
Danmar beaters. The Zoro and JR Models are square. This one is felt; if I’m not misstaken JR’s model was a wood version.
Nice snare
@@ronaldgenendlis6423Ludwig Black Beauty 6.5x14!
these are some great tips, thank you.
I watched the entire video and took away a ton of great information. I did have to pause the video and immediately run over to my brush pad to try that Bossa Nova sweep pattern. I've been searching for something like that for a situation I play in sometimes and it's perfect! Great content as always.
Thanks, Larry! I hope you are doing well.
Who was the asshole who decided to have another groove playing in the background while the cross stick was being demonstrated? 🤦♂️
Very beneficial, thanks a lot!
