Sick 7/8 grooves and a 7:08 video length 🤌
Woow super cool
Kudos to you for noticing this
🤌
Why did I click on that timestamp? 🙈
Creative Content Creator!
She rocks.
Emma, so glad I clicked on one of your shorts on the YT, which led me to the longer lessons. (and subscribing) Really happy your doing odd time signatures as my favorite musical genre is prog.
Best teacher on YT.
Oddly attractive which is just a bonus
Her personality is refreshing and highly attractive as is she.
However... did you say oddly attractive because most drummers are ogres? Or are you saying you find yourself attracted to her and it's odd because she isn't your normal type and you don't know why?
Seriously tho. Explains each & every detail 💗
You are the best drum teacher I have ever seen. ❤
Love you vids Emma. Your teachings are so easy to follow!! And girl, you groove!!
You're such a fun teacher! Haven't been playing much in a while but I'm enjoying watching your videos and it's getting me feeling like I should play again
For beginners don't count for "seven", that's two beats (two syllables) count as "sev". Don't make that a habit to say "seven"! It will screw you up 😂.
That's honestly how I just normally count to myself
Or sometimes I say "sept" because Canadian
@@decorativewingdingsI also say sept, or I just count it all in french.
Mine's more like accented grunting of sort of the middle of the syllables. You know, like a primate. Or drummer. lol
I don’t drum but I play in odd times every once in a while, I tend to sub divide into groups of 3 and 4 when counting to avoid the multiple syllable problem
Indian music has some crazy odd signatures. Eastern music is like normal breathing to them.
It’s the “twiddley diddleys” that get you every time 😂
I personally Loved that commentary! ❤ 😎
So smooth. So good. Absolutely love your teaching style
I don't even play drums but this is gold content, thank you for sharing
OMG!!!! I love #3!
Literally just "fell" into your channel. Brilliant !! Now subscribed based on this 7/8 tutorial alone. Great stuff thank you. So much to learn still .... even after 35 yrs playing theres still so many undiscovered shall we say, "little nuances" I've not thought of before. Looking forward to watching many more. Thank you for being there 👍
Incredible, you make it look so effortless.
Gonna take some practice this...
You are a godsend! I have never encountered odd time signatures explained so well ... breaking them down the way it is done by you, and I've been playing drums for a long time!
You are just one fun, great, teacher, Ms Emma! THANKS for all these vids!!! 🏆
Awesome. Learnt to play by ear naturally. Nice to see the breakdown.
First time I seen her this is great I like it I'll be watching her on a regular basis
It really helps to divide the beat as 4+3. One-two-three-four/one-two-three. Not sure why but it's just easier to phrase it in your head.
Yeah, I use to do that a lot when I encounter a 7/8 or a 9/8 for example. It's quite handy.
So for example
7/8: 1-2-3-4/1-2-3 or 1-2-3/1-2-3-4
9/8: 1-2-3-4/1-2/1-2-3 or 1-2-3-4/1-2-3/1-2
depends on the rhythm and melody/riff of the song :)
great drummer,excelent teacher,and beautifull as well.
Excellent drummer! Beautiful technique...wonderful finesse...solid and driving with fantastic meter. You are a total natural with your timing
The most simple 7/8: In Natural Sience from Rush: BD on 1 + 2, Snare on 3, Hi Hat on both BD-Beats 2, on Snare 3!
Amazing stuff Emma! Thank you 🙏
I love odd time. I like what you did to show the variation of beats you can use in 7/8.
Ive been playing bass and guitar for 40 years. Always love the drums. Always would play our drummers kit when he or she would allow me. I finally bought a nice 4 pc set of 72 Ludwig Strata's courtesy of Billy Baker @BakerDrums. Ive been just sitting behind them beating away wondering why after all these years nothing feels or sounds right. Your videos have helped me tremendously. All about the wrist. Ive been playing with my entire arm(s) in motion. Hard to keep good time that way : ) Thank you
I saw Rod Morganstein doing a drum clinic. He said to count 7/8 as, "One,Two,Three,
four,five,six,SEV,One,Two,etc". Otherwise you can find yourself counting it as "... Five, Six, Sev-en" and you're back in 4/4 again.
that’s very cool - why is seven the only single digit number with more than one syllable
I saw some of his drum clinics. The Master
A great tip I once got from a drummer is to not pronounce the whole word "seven" when counting seven. Just use the syllable "sev". Makes it easier to feel the one.
Thanks! Definitely going to practice these!
Very cool. Great sounds from an electronic kit too.
This is womnderful! I just stumbled upon your channel. Brilliant!
Thanks for sharing. Killer grooves and an easily digestable video!
I like to take a 4/4 "Rock Beat 1" (i.e. kick snare kick snare, 8ths on the hats), and just cut the end off for a kind of record skip: 1 and 2 and 3 and 4, 1 and 2 and 3 and 4....
Once you've got used to that weird "jump" feel, open the hi-hat on the 1. Combine the two and it sounds tasty and advanced, but it's pretty simple to do.
Wonderful video thank you so much. I can add a new time signature to my toolbelt.
Спасибо! Замечательный урок!
Instant subscribe. Beautiful playing, and very well explained.
Love it. That snare sounds like the phenomenal snare from Yes' 'Owner Of A Lonely Heart'.
Great grooves
Thanks for breaking it down so clearly
Happy to help! 😊
Awesome stuff, teacher✌🏼❤️
thanks great -- having to work, slowly , on the move from four to one,
Ohhh yeah that last one is awesome.
I already know how to do all these exercises, but after this video, I will definitely do these exercises MUCH easier, great video!!!!🎉🎉
I play bass and stumbled on your channel. You have an enthusiastic approach and the British accent makes your lessons fun to watch. Want some 7/8 ? Bill Bufords playing on Siberian Khatru from Yes. Back in the day, bruford and bass player, chris squire, were as solid as it gets.
Bloody brilliant, I say.
Excellent lesson. Thanks
Thank You🙏🏻🤘🏻🥁
what a great lesson...thank you...just subbed
2nd beat feels like faith no more- ashes to ashes was the one i was thinking of.
yeah that last one is fire
gavin harrison's groove from the sound of muzak is always a good one to learn
Great stuff! I'm currently practicing Séptimo día, a song by Argentinian rock band Soda Stereo. I managed to nail the rhythm but I'm struggling to add the fills and then come back to the base pattern 😅
Love it🎉🎉🎉🎉
02:23 “my name is mud”
A great groove in 7/8 is the post chorus riff section in The Warning's song Evolve.
awesome teacherskills!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great! Vielen Dank!
Hey if you really like percussion you should check out compound autonomy. The first groove note groupings in your video here is used inversed.
And *this* is why we use proper note names and not generalisations like "eighth note", "quarter note" etc. More often than not, they're not actually an 'eighth' or a 'quarter' of *anything*. Great lesson, especially that last pattern.
"Tasty"describes it perfectly
Excellent lessons. Your charisma and enthusiasm certainly helps. Sincerely, a Yank in Cambridgeshire.
What a MONSTER
The verses in "Them Bones" is probably the most recognizable 7 count beat and easiest to learn. For me, at least.
that one's more like 7/4 or 4/4 + 3/4, not 7/8
@@AggresssivePerfector the verses are 7/4, I believe. I'm no time signature expert but I know it's a 7 count riff. Then 4/4 in the chorus.
a "great place to start" would be a count off because that's how you play music
Very nice explain mam
I wasn't gonna learn anything today! Now I know a couple 5/4 grooves and a couple 7/8 grooves. Oh well. Veil of mystery (mostly) removed I guess. Great vids. Thank you.
I dont even play drums, just cant get enough of those facial expressions haha
Just listen to the instrumental section of Cinema Show by Genesis to hear what can be done with 7/8.
Toto : Jake to the bone, great song to discover 7/8.
Slint Spiderland. Ground breaking album.
The last beat is insanely tricky. First I tried just the left and right hand, without the accents, but I quickly lost track of the beat. I realized that if you really focus on playing the accents louder than the ghost notes it is very easy to keep track of the beat. Next I tried playing just the kick and snare, and this is easy enough. But I cannot put it all together. I did notice that adding the kick on only the 1 beat is pretty easy and is also helpful to keep track of the beat. But I cannot play all the kicks or I just lose it. Also not to mention I cannot play any of this at the speed she is doing in the video 😂
I don't really think about time signatures when I'm drumming, a lot of the time I don't even know what I'm playing. The most interesting thing about this video for me is that I already play the second two beats that you showed, but the first one actually seems trickier to me, even though I'm sure it's the easiest. 🤷♀️
You should check out the groove from The Cinematic Orchestra's Fite song, it is truly an amazing thing (in 7/8).
Was lucky enough to see them perform Flite live in Manchester recently, the drummer is just unbelievable
@@aquiatic Wow! That's great dude! Wish I could see them play it live some day
Sorry I meant at 6.01 onwards cheers
Do you have an example song which is in 7/8?
Wish You lived nearby so I could go to your studio and have some drum lessons :)
Interesteing that this to me is a variation on Take 5.
Awesome lesson
Can you teach the groove for
“2 Princes” by the
Spin Doctors??
6:50 ok that shit is juicy in some sort of Steely Dan 1970's funnel cake at Coney Island kinda way.
My name is Mud, not to… :-) then Lady in Red, this is beautiful. As a bassist lovin it
What is the drum kit and module you are using there please?
That beat sounds like Smooth Operator from Sade
Hi Emma great stuff ! I think you’re not playing the snare accent on 3e when you’re explaining it slowly at 6.07 mins but then you reintroduce it a couple of times thereafter - is that so ? Many thanks cheers from Sydney 😎
It doesn't matter that the 7/8 pattern is written in 8th notes. It's always the top number (the numerator) that is counted, regardless of the bottom number (the denominator).
Can you do a video of drum intros? I’ve been listening to the song “A History of Bad Men” by The Melvin’s and I’d love to do a drum intro like that!!
you should try the afghan 7/8 beat also known as mogholi
Listen to macchina del tempo di lucio battisti. It s in 7/8 metric
cool way to play in 7/8. But is it possible to have the transcription of the exercises?
Interesting video, can you do some beats in 6/8 time?
Just realized my name is mud is in thus time. The things you miss when your self taught.
Biosphere - Birds Fly By Flapping Their Wings I think has a 7/8 beat.
I think i need some context for these beats. Can anyone recommend some tunes i could listen to please?
When making music in 7/8 I liked to play a 6/8 rythm but in 7/8..
Or 6/8+9/8 (with a ghostnote thingy at 1 on the 7/8)... Did this make any sense? 😅
It sounded kinda cool/wreird though..
#coolweird
Weren't parts of "Money" by Pink Floyd in '7?
Superstar
6/8 would be a good focus I’m struggling to make it work 😳😳😳
I like how the video is 7:08 long
Spoonman!
COOL :D
❤
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
When I saw the sticks I couldn't help reminding myself it's leviOsa, not levioSA.
im cant play drums, i got no drums and no money (playing guitar) or space left either but this is interesting. cant be bad to know some odd patterns
Took me 30 minutes to watch this 7 minute video
I always Slow the YT Playback speed down to .75 so I can follow. Sometimes the verbage just goes Way too fast for me. THEN I click on Show Transcript to really get all the twiddly didleys that are so tasty... 😂
