David Garibaldi Ex. 1 from DG'z Notebook - My Path To The Groove - Ideas From A Beat Collector

Demonstrating a method I use with students to help them visualize disorienting rhythmic ideas using DG'z Notebook ex. 1

Damn these videos! The thoroughness is seriously impressive. Drum playing is immaculate, accurate to a T, authentic, wholly uncontrived and expressive.

Excellent!

Nice to HEAR the groove before attempting to play. I agree! Does DG's Notebook have a link to each exercise?

[@cymbalspecialist]

Excellent strategy for internalizing the melodic aspects of rhythmic patterns - using the voice to sing each groove and variation. I'm curious if you ask students to learn to sing the pattern first, before being able to execute it on the instrument, or the other way around. Maybe it depends on the student, and perhaps the two interpretations are learned - vocally and physically - simultaneously. Thank you!

I usually employ the “if you can say it, you can play it” philosophy in many instances

@@Rogersdrumvideos agree

[@jameswaddell3348]

Have you studied the Gary Chester "New Breed" method of drum teachings? He also implemented the vocalization why'll playing patterns

[@Rogersdrumvideos]

Yes
Not a huge fan of the system.
