Your a really good teacher man! I struggle sometimes explaining rhythms to my bass students & getting them to develop there feel! So what I do is get them to make a shaker with a bottle & some rice & get them playing some shaker grooves & after about a week I really notice a difference in there playing!!! Awesome videos & keep them coming!!! Thanks, Grant...
The train sound can be illustrated on Michael Babatunji Olatunji's Drums of Passion album on the piece entitled "Akiwowo" (the chant to the train conductor.) The Album hit these shores back in 1959. The clave is the bell in the Ghanaian "dance of freedom" or Kpanlogo. Dr Olatunji, originally from Nigeria, introduced African Music to these shores and travelled throughout the world teaching and performing with his dance company. Also, in his later years collaborated with Micky Hart. Note that Mongo Santa Maria, the great Cuban percussionist and composer noted for his contributions to jazz, was another person of African origins who contributed authentic African folklore elements to the wealth of American music. The best illustration of this is Mr Santamaria's album Drums and Chants. I love this music!
Thank you so much. I sing in a band do back up and harmonies as well as lead. Trying to learn tambourine when doing back up you are a wonderful teacher
Breaking down timestamps for myself (Feel free to use!) General Genres: Samba, rock reggae Straight feel: 01:18 Pushed Feel: 03:07 slow version: 03:37 General Genres: Salsa, Rumba, Funk, Arab Anticipated/Push feel (pull to the side) Clave (bomba rhythm): 04:55, mix: 05:12 Rolling eights: 08:13 09:22 11:10 *Play dynamic, not the same volume, and play with the spacing - like a egg rolling down the mountain Clave rhythm: Son Clave: 13:57, 17:00 Rumba Clave: 15:06 , 17:07
The rolling eights feel is basically a Brazilian samba groove but slower. In some instruments it's called carreteiro which translates in English as "carter". I suppose it's because it feels like a cart with wonky wheels (or something like that). Interestingly, tamborim (brazilian drum) technique practically makes it impossible not to play with this groove.
easy easy to follow and enjoyable teaching! most amazing --- good demo and great voice and vibe... and I quickly identify the rhythm I like a lot - clave is amazing and not that easy to learn.... will explore the club membership now.
Great video. I have really never known the names of the rhythms I just feel them. It's strange that I hear the music and I automatically feel the rhythms. Will be doing the membership as I want to improve and hone up on my drumming. I basically play middle eastern music.
Hi. I'm a new subscriber from Taiwan. Your teaching really helps me a lot on music expression. It's easy to learn and fun(but hard to play well XD). Love your content!!!
At least on my computer the audio is off slightly. Slightly late. On my iPhone it's fine. Other then that your videos a great. I'd like to see much more djembe rhythms.
I've always wondered why they don't have a slide button on YT so you can advance or retard the sound. This would be so helpful when videos are out of sync or when using bluetooth speakers.
I donno if you have a video covering these different beat naming terms and what they are associated with. As soon as you started the pushed feel I got interested, immediately heard the clave reference and then despite it looking like maybe an Irish or Native drum, sounded African soon thereafter. 1-e-and-uh etc is neutral. Tucky Tah (jazz song title) seems to refer to the South INdian beat counting system. (or is it all Indian - I dk). Then when you bring in Doom, we're talking doumbek all of a sudden. Be interested to hear your exploration and interrelation of these and more. Those are just the ones I know of. Probably other important ones. And I donno much, either, about these ones. Edit: And I've only watched a third of the video before posting - weird, I know - maybe this IS that video!

Tension and release. I’m surprised I heard no mention of the shuffle. Excellent advanced concept presentation. Thank you.
This needs more views.

Excelent class. I listen and learn. Its diferentes from other sights where you listen and forget. Thank you.
I've noticed the audio sync issues on many RUclips videos. I think it's on their side, but it's good to know the iPhone is working better.

Yes - I think that's a RUclips thing. Hopefully it gets better.
