You are hundred percent correct, all musicians need to keep time with the left foot. This was one of the first things I learned in band class in 6th grade, and I was playing French Horn. It helps anchor your counting. I will admit I'm not always good at doing this on the drums, self taught and I like to manipulate my hats a lot, so the left foot gets too busy. So I count. I practice counting in the car to music the same way you tap.
That's even better honestly! I should practice that as well. I also learned the importance of tapping your foot in the fourth grade learning the trombone.
Hi! That's a very good idea to make music lessons too! You never miss the point! As my name's Thomas Lafitte (my girlfriend laught... "leftfoot"), I must confess my left foot's my biggest problem! Thank's a lot for this lesson, it's usefull for me!
This is part of a big lesson my one of guitar teachers taught over a decade ago: tap your foot to keep time and always know where beat 1 of the measure is. And great video as always, Mario!
It's one of those pieces of advice that get's thrown around so much that I think people forget it's importance. I tell people constantly "practice with a metronome practice with a metronome practice with a metronome practice with a metronome!!" I know it goes in one ear and out the other unfortunately...sigh...
Kinda yes and kinda no. Most of the times the term 'ghost note' is used, particularly with drumming, you are still producing an audible sound just reduced in volume. More like an 'anti-accent' hit. Where as with this it's more like having no note played at all. If we were to translate this to the snare drum it's as if you are going to strike the drum but you never actually make contact with the drum head. You are merely mimicking the movement for timing purposes. so yes...and no...but also yes?

Ah I understand it now@@Mario_DiSanto and thank you! Based on your description, it's quite like air drumming in a way, and this is actually a technique I do when I practice (though my purpose is mainly to not annoy my neighbors).
Where do you position your tilt screw? I switched mine to the near side under where I strike the high hat so I get an overbite. My hi hat quit eating my sticks
I honestly never put too much thought into this. I am always more concerned with the tilt adjustment rather there where it is positioned. I didn't even think about it having an effect. I will have to mess around with this.
Quick question. Have you ever had a problem on your MS-16 with channels not playing in repro? All my tracks play in sync but 2 channels will not switch to repro. Can you hear a difference in sound quality between the sync and repro heads for mixing down? Thanks
@@rainbowmade1880 I can't hear a single difference in quality from the reproduce head to sync head playback. Then again I got pretty dull ears so maybe there is a difference. Sounds like your cards might need to be reseated. Try the two channels that are having issues. It's hard to get those buggers out by hand sometimes. Also sounds like a relay issue. There should be relays on the cards that control where the playback is coming from. Atleast I think....I have to look at the schematic if you need. Try reseating first
@@Mario_DiSanto already re-seated them all which actually fixed a ton of issues but not this. Maybe I can just mix in sync mode? I am really planning on recording drums and dumping them in the computer for sure. That still requires using either of the two heads. Definitely don’t need 16 tracks of drums🤓
@@Mario_DiSanto Oh, for some reason I thought you had a M520. How is the Tascam holding up? I did a full recap of my Allen Heath last year... Took over a month.

Way back when I played drums my teacher got me playing quarters and eighth notes while changing time signatures. Very good for the mind
Love your style, man!
I'm simple. I see A Must for Every Dummer, I click!

Hahah funny Thomas. Glad to hear from ya.
@@Mario_DiSanto let me tell you more... I'm goofy!
Because garage music is all about metronomic left feet. When chaos uses Excel.

@@Mario_DiSanto oh for real! Met so many people who ask why they aren't getting better, and it's because they're like a broken watch: can't keep time
8:21 Were you referring to "ghost notes?"
Nontheless, this lesson is a very relevant one!

I asked my friend (Brandon) to run your drum solo thru the ol 'tempo machine'.
...he said it was fine..."close enough for rock and roll" (lol)
I wanna play a real kit but don't want my neighbours to hear me.
never mind them

PUT DOWN THE CLICK, BRANDON!!!
DID YOU GET A NEW CONSOLE?
Nope same old. I did however just buy a second unit so I could get some parts from it.
