How I Learned to Play Very Fast Jazz Ride Cymbal Patterns
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июл 2024
- Here is an updated version of a video I did about 4 years ago on playing up-tempo Jazz and how, as a teenager, I learned to do it. I have done some editing and fixed the low volume of my speaking voice.
other videos I have done that feature fast tempos are here:
• Blazing Fast Big Band ...
• Developing The Jazz Ri...
The drums in this video are 1982 Gretsch Centennial with calf heads.
The cymbals are original Constantinople K's
21" on the right and 18" on the left with a 20" Paiste traditional flat ride and a 20" Paiste 602 flat ride (for close ups)
the hi hats are old K 15".
The microphone is a vintage AKG C24. I am only using this one overhead stereo overhead microphone to give you a realistic sound of the kit.

i love how you casually drop the most outstanding solos at the start of your videos and then just move on. actual legend
One of THE best instructional drum channels on RUclips. Great lesson!
Best instructional ever and I been drumming for 20 years. Explained so well
If I heard a cat playing like the intro in a club? I would be going nuts; waving a towel over my head; “Bringing the smoke!”.
…. Now you know why I quit drinking.
boy that ride sounds incredible
Great Lesson. I Love how you are telling a story with the drums.
Rickdior is leaving us a legacy of inspirational lessons. This one is unique.
i truly think that rick is what drumming is all about, he is one of the most comprehensive and skilled percussive minds out there. i also think often how lucky we are that he has left such a great legacy behind with his lessons, books, and instructional videos.
100%

Best lesson on fast jazz I’ve ever seen!
Fantastic stuff. You own stories are inspiring & helpful .

You have an incredible touch!

Gotta love a cheeky 30k overhead mic! Ha ha
Lovely, as always. Thank you very much :)
Great lesson! Thank you !!
thank you for this fantastic video!!!! You are amazing musician!!!!
This was brilliant!
Thank you so very much :)
Great info rick keep it coming
This is definitely for very advanced drummers but, damn, people are lucky nowadays to have such incredible informations and feedback for free on youtube. Thanks a lot man for this kind of videos... this is so motivating. Your playing is wonderfull and your advices are priceless.
Just came across this channel and subscribed. Thanks for this. I have been working on my ride cymbal technique for quite some time and have never really felt that it’s becoming “second nature”. It’s so easy to practice a mistake and yet so hard to fix it.
Thanks for breaking it down and giving us sort of a “back up and regroup”. Sometimes we forget to go back to basics and work everything back up to par.
Eric
U r not just an incredible player but a marvelous teacher, reasoning and explaining the why.
great lession! thanks
Great lesson, thanks!
Hmm. Pb snare solo competition scoring demerit points for wrist turning. As I got faster my right wrist just naturally started twisting. Instructor would comment ‘wow, sounds great fast’ then tell me, ‘ stop doing that ‘. Ha. The irony. Magnificent playing, Rick.
Along with a great tutorial on playing the ride this is also a great tutorial on how to play Jazz.
Fantastic. Thank you.
Hey Rick, thanks for the lesson
thanks rick, great lesson !!!
Rick what a gem of help you are mate 🙏
So glad I could help you.
Very difficult, I”ll keep trying! Thanks Rick!
This video is a treasure trove. Thank you so much for it!
You're very welcome!
Another good one👍
Master Class! Thanks. Subscribed.
beautiful playing sir
Geat video. Your channel shows drummers a way of playing this instrument in a way they didn't know was possible. I think it has been forgotten that the drum set is a fine instrument, similar to a violin (i.e. riding the wave of the soft cymbal). When I first discovered this channel years ago, I was humbled.
Thank you, that's very kind.
fantastic video
Top vidéo. Tks you very much !
Heard the first 10 seconds of the video and subscribed right away. You can really feel when someone just plays so fluently. Amazing man!
Yeah I did as well.
You can tell when someone understand something, they aren't as wordy.
Brilliant🤩
Im addicted to this video!
Your channel is just fantastic--it is both instructional and inspirational.
Thank you Steven
Nice!
Wow, you make it look so damn easy. I have even trying to get this motion down for years. I still try but have resided to the fact, I have a limit to it.
Great lesson btw. I am sure other drummers will get this down with your teaching here.
Great player....great teacher🎶🏆🥁
Fantastic lesson! Definitely saved for later when I'm behind a kit
Nice work
The closing solo!💯
Wow ! Thank you sir.
Awesome! I recently heard Taylor, great drumming!
I love your playing sir ive never been the reader I am the player. Been playing for 40 years this year and I totally dig how u explain things at all levels. Keep up the Good educational vids and i hope for your continued success. Tim Gayne from Central Maine!!
Thanks Tim
I love Maine.
I asked my wife to marry me in Ogunquit!
Excellent lesson! In all my years I have never had confirmation of my thought process of playing jazz with all four limbs, I only felt I should do this. This confirms many of my thoughts which gives me incredible confidence and an urge to keep exploring.
I'm so glad I was able to help you.
Incredible
amazing!
Thanks Sabastian
It was Buddy Rich’s “Time Check” that made me want to learn the fast ride. I decided I would try out for the high school jazz band when I could play that. I eventually tried out anyway and had a great time. You’ve got a new subscriber!
Ha! Love that subtle punch line!
Really good!
Thanks Ed
Hope you and the family are well.
Doing fine, Rick, thanks. Hope the same for you. All the best!@@rickdior
Recording yourself was such an under-utilized tool for those of us who are now in our 30s-50s. I remember hearing Wayne Krantz talk about that years ago and thinking “naww, I can listen to myself objectively while I play”…WRONG…luckily I fell into it as I moved into my twenties. Silver lining, though…I’ve noticed that my younger students are *much better* with this than we were. Say what you want about stuff like tik tok and social media. My more serious students in their teens and 20s are recording themselves with much greater frequency…which means they’re watching and listening (somewhat) objectively like I wasn’t at their age. The optimist in me believes that will make them better players than we were and really…what’s the point in working with young people if the ultimate goal isn’t for some of them to surpass you…
Your fast swing is delicious. A great lesson.
Such a tasty intro
thank you very much
Amazing
nice man tnx
Thank you!
Excellent video. Thanks!
I find that I can play a fast ride at times, but throw in an attempt to comp with my left hand… well, the train derails rather quickly
I’ll get it one day maybe!
Sick!
These commenters are not kidding. This is the best internet video I've ever seen. Except for that King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard monster, but that's a different breed of "best.". Thank you for this Rick - absolutely inspiring.
cool to hear how with the old cymbals you compare it to “riding the wave.” i would bet that’s exactly where the name of the ride cymbal came from, its all about riding that wave while you play. great playing rick, thank you always for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks Russ
Exceptional lessons.. One ( or the ) best drum teacher today .. Thanks.❤ Mario 87 yrs old amateur Jazz drummer..
Thanks Mario
So glad you are still drumming at 87...
Fantastic!
Appreciate your reply Rick.. Merci..I live in Milano and via our 1960 /1970 s recording studio there we were extremely lucky to spend time personally with greats like the Duke and some of his musicians, Ray Brown , Herb Ellis, Ed Thigpen, Sarah Vaughan etc ..Rufus Jones, Duke’s drummer told me that with only the HiHat and a ride cymbal you could swing the whole band !! In one session he proved it by playing for almost one minute so.. Unfortunately thousands of ‘jazz oral history’ is lost forever..At least we are lucky to have some recordings..Wish you success in your
Profession.. Good luck and Keep Swinging.. Mario
You are really good!
Thank you Keith
Wow! Why I have not come across this channel until now!? This is exactly what I’m missing!
I studied drums for years in London with some excellent jazz tutors of this calibre, listening to this video was like being back in class, I miss this kind of talk, philosophy and discussion with other drummers on a regular basis!
Due to starting a Family and moving house several times across three countries I haven’t had much time for drums in many years so I’ve lost a lot of skill I worked hard to achieve. I fully intend to get that skill back and surpass my previous peak skill level! This channel will definitely help me!
Aaaahhh how refreshing listening to this after having just come from an angry Tommy EGO video where he’s ranting about politics and bullying and censoring other people for having a different opinion! 😂 All I want is serious quality drum education and calm mellow people! It looks like I’ve found that here! Excellent! Thank you! Keep up the good work!
Greetings from Aberdeen Scotland! 🏴
Liked, subbed and shared!
Ironic; I was just thinking about how Rick feels like the polar opposite of Tommy.
Thanks for making this!
You know what I think is funny? Every time a good drummer talks to me (a two-year beginner) about how they developed their skills, there’s some story like “well, here’s what I did that helped me, but I’m crazy,” followed by a story of spending many hours on a r single motion. So I had to laugh when you said it might sound strange that you spend an hour each day on one stroke!
Hi Theresa
I don't think it's crazy at all. Repetition is the key to developing anything that is physically and mentally challenging.
@@rickdior alright, it’s time for me to get started! Thanks again
Finally getting my comping at speed better. Thinking that fast is just difficult to get used to. My right hand actually got used to the technique rather quickly, likely because I had previously used an open close type technique when I was into death metal in high school. Haha the right hand speed was one of the few things to carry over. Now I get to mess with my band mates by calling Cherokee or impressions etc. pretty comfortable and relaxed for me up to around 330 bpm but my comping barely keeps up haha thanks for the video
Hi Kai
Comping can be difficult at those speeds and requires a good bit of endurance..
It's kind of a community effort between your limbs. You can see me doing a version of that here.

@@rickdior I love that video, definitely something I strive for. Right now it is a bit of creativity for me and a bit of holding on for dear life with the max roach pattern 3-3-3-3-2 for comping like he does through parts of Cherokee with Clifford brown
Master of Drums
Thank you Boris
Great playing Rick and what a unbelievable ride cymbal ! A K i guess ??
Hi
The cymbals are listed in the video description if you click on those.
Thx, för undervisningen. Låter väldigt svängit.
I love "twisted" LOL
Me too!
Beautifuuul intro
