Hey man, thanks for your comment. I love JP and think he’s an amazing player and teacher. But, I think Steve Gadd and Weckl may have been playing these ideas before JP was born. I, also, think it’s really unhealthy to think you can’t play stuff because it’s been played before. I used to play with an artist who wrote great songs but was too scared to put them out because he thought they sounded like other songs. Additionally, on this train of thought, you wouldn’t be able to play the basic rock beat because you would be copying someone else. That kind of thinking isn’t helpful and doesn’t add to the development of the craft. Finally, I think the core aspect of JP’s teaching on this is RllKRL. So, not the same pattern and most likely taught in a different way. Nonetheless, thank you for your comment and not to detract at all from what JP is doing. I’ve met him personally and think he’s a great player.
@@ferggriffindrums Playing KRL and Rll, mixing it up and looping it in triplet around the kit always sounds great anyway... As an exercise I looped Rll which is challenging for the weak hand, I noticed I use too much wirst with the left hand compared to Lrr where I use kinda push pull technique which makes it smooth and effortless, now I'm going to copy and paste my right hand to my left hand till it's also smooth and effortless (I might do a lot of Rll lol) Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
Thanks so much, Martin, appreciate your support. And, I know exactly what's happening with that left hand, I remember going through that phase well. One thing to say, using the wrists for doubles is good at slow tempos. You will have more control than relying on the bounce for pull stroke. But, as you increase the tempo, you'll need to start 'pinching in' with the fingers and getting that snapback stroke. Try Rll for ages as you say, and change it up by sprinkling Six Stroke Rolls in there too; this'll make it more interesting so you can do it for longer periods of time. You can also practice Rll in straight time too (16ths or 32nds), sprinkled in with RllRllRl as a group of 8. Rll, Rll, Rll, Rll, RllK is another good exercise for this. Even Rlll on repeat can help get that left hand going. Hope this helps!
@@ferggriffindrums Thanks for the tips, the past years I already worked a lot on my left hand which is good enough to play a nice and clean diddle even at fast speed, the first diddle is played with the wirst, the second with the fingers while the stick is going up, but I recently noticed if I want to do RllRllRllRll etc. after two left diddle my wrist starts to be out of sync and shaking for nothing which is not comfortable, my right hand is so much better, my left hand has to catch up the right hand, and it will 😉
Update, I noticed my hands are equally good when I do rrllrrll etc. from there I took the same move to do RllRllRllRll etc. and almost instantly I have no more issue with the left hand, that was not a physical issue but a psychological issue ! The brain is weird sometimes !
