    I'm not even a drummer but keep coming back to your videos as you offer such clear and deep concepts of rhythm. I've never played Swing or had a desire too, but am now gonna take that dog for a walk, regularly. Thank you!

    I’m playing for over 50 years but really enjoying your videos. I’m always looking for great ideas about how to teach and show students of all levels the magic of traditional jazz drumming and the keys to the Kingdom of Swing

    Love it. When I first learned to swing with brushes my teacher called it "making mash potatoes" and so of course that's what I call it today. HEY, WTF are you doing? Making mashed potatoes dude!

    Hi Greg - did your mom once work for the Blinn Health/Beauty Company in Brooklyn /Queens area about 35 years ago? If so,she once introduced me to you .She said you were eager to pursue playing drums or you had already started. I am a drummer,too..still playing ..met and took several lessons from the great Idris Muhammad,and grew up heavily influenced by Steve Gadd and Harvey Mason...I also attended Drummers Collective in N.Y.C.around 1977-1979...hope all is well with you/yours...looking forward to your response....Best,Mike.

    @christianscott6963 2 года назад +1

    This great!! Two things that one needs to play brushes:1) pair of brushes, 2) coated heads!!
    And if your gonna walk the dog you don't need a dog, in this case ;)
    For reals though: get some fresh snare heads... That's where the volume is too! The textured heads amplify the scratch and "white noise/crashing wave sound"

  • @LeakyJAZZ
    @LeakyJAZZ 2 года назад

    I’ve learned to brush by necessity, and I’ve learned to imply that basic “walk the dog” pattern just by how I brush the head, without really lifting the brush. When I see these videos, I always see drummers taping the head, and when I try it, it sounds dumb, or not as cool as the way I do it. I’m inclined to believe that this drummer knows a lot more than me, but obviously I’m missing something.

    • @josephs5587
      @josephs5587 2 года назад +2

      I’ve always heard from many amazing drummers that with brushes, you should just imitate what you hear, not necessarily what you see. The sound is what matters the most, and if you’re able to get a satisfying sound using whatever technique is comfortable for you, then you’re doing it right.

      Just the regular Remo Ambassador or Evans G1 .. but the Evans calftone heads are especially nice for brushes

    I've always found "walk the dog" to be misleading. A more accurate phonetic representation would be "Dog, the walk" right?

    • @rhythmfield
      @rhythmfield 2 года назад +2

      No. But what would make more sense is:
      DOG-walk-the dog-walk-the
      1 2 and 3 4 and
      - starting on “walk“ starts you on beat FOUR
      - for a beginner or new, start on beat ONE.
