I love the flam plus extras warm ups . Very cool. Ginger Baker included a varied selection of flammed quintruplets ( his name) , which have some similarities with windmill flams and no surprise here (!) , some sound very much like African drumming. Thank you.
Hi Dennis! Wow I didn't know that about Ginger. Thanks you for hipping me to that. I am very happy you enjoyed the video! I might have to make a separate video for this warm up because many people are liking it. Thanks for writing buddy! Peace
When I used to wrist all my strokes as a young drummer, I ran right into the proverbial wall. I could only move my wrists so fast, after that I couldn't go any faster, so how could I play the things I saw other drummers play? The answer was right in front of me, but I couldn't see it at the time. One day on a gig at church, I let go of the sticks just a tad, for a few seconds, and the sticks seemed to take on a life of their own. This was my "accidental" meeting of the rebound stroke. Since that day I loosened up my grip, and now I've fully embraced the pure rebound stroke as a foundational part of my playing. Thanks Phil, for putting together all the lessons on this hot topic here on YT and your official lessons site!
hey bratha! Thats a great story! I think we all run into this somehow. If one has the great gift of the will and calling to play one makes these kinds of discoveries. It's a beautiful day when something like that happens!
I love the concept of a ball of energy around the drum, right where the stick, fingers, wrists, arms all dance around. I can picture it! I also love the thought of improving your technique by not thinking about your technique. Some zen stuff. Thank you Phil.
Yes it's amazing isn't it? All this stuff related to drumming is very Zen like and has incredible pull in the human being. Drumming is something very special innately in our DNA it seems! haha
He was one of the great hand masters in LA. Basically what I am showing in this series is what I learned from him and others of that generation of players. Thanks for writing in :-)
Im an irish man that lived abroad it sounds crazy but if you wear long sleeve black it cools you down your sweat creates a cold vortex. Love the video btw.
@@kimseniorb even at low tuning the rebound stroke is an integral part in playing relaxed and accesing vocabulary. Your snare is also so low tuned that its like a loe floor tom?
Thanks for your presentation ,you clearly have great technique and play very well ,but I couldn't take anything away that I could really work on . No offence meant .
Hi Nick! Thanks for writing in! Like I say on the video...it's a concept. All improvement starts with understanding of how things work. The mechanics, the minutia. I have found that...To understand the elements at play in drumming at many levels is the beginning of any great work on the instrument. Many greetings to you from Bali :-)
@@philmaturanodrums many thanks for your reply ,there's just so so many very subtle nuances involved with hand wrists fingers and rebound ,it's a massive subject ,but I think I understand your emphasis on allowing the sticks to rebound naturally without choking them with too much grip or tension ,thanks.
Hi friend! Actually I am not good at that technique and hardly ever use it. You might want to look into Ramon Montagnar or Victor Bub. Those cats really have it nailed! Here is Victors thing.. ruclips.net/video/Kcb6kM0vE88/видео.html Check it out 13:15 on that video

You convicted me, I’d like to spend an hour with feedback from you. Thanks for the videos.
Awesome! Drop me a line and we will set it up. phil@philmaturano.com

Thanks for your greats advices from France... You are a constant inspiration for mind and hands...🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for the kind words my bro! Many hugs from Bali Indonesia :-)
I've not heard anyone mention Richard Wilson.
I'm very curious about his approach to technique.

Thank you bro! You cold be right because that's what my Indonesian friends say too! Maybe I have to try it haha. :-)
You always impart info that challenges me to partake and digest. Much appreciated. Now go jump in that pool and chill. 🥁😎
Hahaha. Will do :)
I play low tunings where rebound is not as effective. I don’t really need this speed though. so its probably the only way to muscle out each hit

Hey, what’s the name of that soundtrack? I kinda like it

@@nickturnbull4105 you got it Nick! Stay in touch here!
Phil can you teach the push-pull technique for use in authentic samba at higher tempos (e.g. here: ruclips.net/video/JCXy-ykap5E/видео.html)?

@@philmaturanodrums That right there is the response of a great teacher. Kudos to you brother.
@@elvislegg8634 TY bratha!
not so much the bead as the weight.
Did you see the part about mallets? Beads have a lot to do with sound and the rest. Thats why stick companies have so many models to choose from :-)
Let me guess, you're right handed?
