- In this video we break down some of the differences between the drumming style of the 1920s compared to later years and highlight some things to look out for if you find yourself needing to replicate playing in this vintage jazz era.
One for all vintage drummers that love early New Orleans jazz like Louis Armstrong, Sidney Bechet, King Oliver etc.
Played on a vintage 1920s Ludwig Drum Kit.

Literally can't hear you speak. Level your audio please.
As a drummer and drumming instructor, I thoroughly enjoyed your playing here. Most of all, I feel that you really have a fantastic facility to swing! And it's not just "mechanical" playing here. Through the clean, crisp technique, you can also hear a very soulful, kicking groove.
🤝🤝🤝
Awesome mate, thanks!!!!
Nice playing! You can do so much with so little
Yeah, man. Nicely explained and played. You sound authentic and totally are taking me there. 😃👉🏼🥁
Great Video, Thanks 👍
🎼🎯🎼
Thanks!
very specific and helpful! thank you
Thanks! 🎯
Great stuff.I am looking to learn.
🎯🎼🎯
This is excellent - really helpful and informative - I hope Jack does some more 'How to@" vids.
Martyn here. Probably a bit too busy! Check his personal channel for cool stuff!!
I’ve just ordered a set of drumsticks. Gotta start somewhere. Thanks for the video
Good luck!
@@JackAmblin thanks. At 70 I need it.
Jump right in! Hope you get to grooving right away. ✊🏼
Really interesting information! Excellent presentation too. Thanks!
Hope it helps!!
Thank you very much!
🎼🎯🎼
Thank you just got new kit
Cool!
Good video. Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks!!
Great stuff, Jack. Keep them coming! Some films about your favourite drummers perhaps?
Oh some films... Well the Sal Mineo is great to watch as Gene Krupa in The Gene Krupa story, though it's not a great film and exaggerates lots of things...
I'm not a fan of Whiplash, I think it's a terrible representation of Music College attitudes and life as a musician.
The Bird Man sound track is great if you want to hear some great drumming by Antonio Sanchez! It's just a drum score that reacts to what happens on the screen.
Hope that helps!
@@TheWashboardResonators I was thinking more of another of your videos but where you talk about the "less-discussed" drummers who have influenced your 20s/30s/40s drumming. My all time favourite drummer is Jo Jones, occasionally he gets a mention but he's well outside of the spotlight that Krupa and Rich occupy. I think you've mentioned Baby Dodds and there are a few videos on RUclips about him but who else and what are their specific influences on you. No pressure, it was just a thought!
I REALLY like your playing and tutorial very much. A must for anyone interested in how our "ancestors" used the "traps". Unfortunately, your explanation was a bit too soft for my "noise-damaged" rock drummer ears! A little louder explanation would be very helpful!
🎼🎼🎼
Way cool....really good for improving sticking on hand but also how to come up with beats between blocks and bells. This isn't easy for most drummers. Good job.
🎯
Great video, Jack - thanks! Question for you - where can I find a course in this style of drumming? I've bought a few of your transcripts but the live experience is something else entirely - that Zutty-style triplet pattern with the blocks at 5:50 being a case in point. There's a ton of material in this clip alone, but do you perhaps do online lessons? It's actually not for me but my son (9) who is totally engrossed with the early styles.
6:16 woo!
Do you think that is even remotely possible on an e-drum snare if you know anything about them? I'm looking at getting an e-kit in the future (2022, 2023) because I can't make too much noise. Cheers & great video
Absolutely. 🎯
I'm not watching this because I want to play it, I'm watching this because I want to notate something in this style.
It’s a great style to notate. 🎯
@@TheWashboardResonators That Chinese tom tom drum is beautiful.
Really cool sound, what are those sound absorbers on wall. Is it just a canvas pix frame or is there foam in it. Looks sorts Artsy , classy , Wife may put up with it more than putting foam on the wall
Martyn here. They’re diffusers. Wood frames, rock wool, fabric covering. Easy to google the principles or look on RUclips for videos about treating the acoustic environments of a studio / music room.
I don’t have a drum kit but, I do have a large National Wash Board!!🤔
Cool!
I sometimes play my washboard horizontally , on a snare drum stand using drum brushes, nice soft accompaniment.
My bass 'Drum' is an old typewriter case with bass drum pedal, (as the heavy old typewriter is still inside it doesn’t skid across the floor.)
@@JohnSmith-wk7rx Sounds like an interesting set up!
@@JackAmblin Not Vertically, senior angle moment
@@JohnSmith-wk7rx I understood it's ok!
Good point about the Chinese tom being used more like a sound effect than a "proper" drum as later became the case. Maybe if a tom drum had been meant back then to be used as a "proper" drum, they would have just used an extra snare drum with the snares disabled (tom).
By the way, is this a Ludwig kit?
Perhaps they might have tried a snare without wires yes. Though I think the issue would have been mounting it on to the bass drum or having a stand that worked at that height? Even so supposedly Krupa came up with the tom heads that were tuneable on the top and bottom in the mid 30s?
Yes it's a Ludwig kit! 1920s Super Ludwig Snare and a 1930s Universal Bass Drum.
Thanks for the comment
What kind of drum is that little red one? I see it is used as a tom.
They’re called ‘Chinese Toms’.
This is so livid,soulful and fun..when did jazz drumming turned into a circle of pretentious ,holier than thou jerks... same goes for the rest of jazz misicians.
Different strokes for different folks.
Rip it up 😂!!!!
You might want to re upload because your voice ans drums are all over the place
As I mentioned before: I like/love your demonstration BUT your MUMBLING makes it very difficult to follow your explanation - YES I've already put the Volume up as high as possible!
Why don't you re-check the volume of your speek?
Are you to shy? Or do you think your explanations are not worth understanding?
Martyn here. Jack doesn’t log in here often. We recorded these during covid lockdowns to share info but on a budget. Thanks for the feedback. We weren’t really trying to make pro videos and we’ve learned much since. The channel now focuses on our original material, blues music history and guitar lessons. All the best.
Incredibly Inaccurate but sure I guess you’re… close…
Incredibly inaccurate and close. At the same time. 🤣
@@TheWashboardResonators …yes… very inaccurate things were displayed but about 5% of it was pretty accurate I suppose. Oh well
