No matter what the drummer & bass player play there will always be a horn player complaining about it
Just finding a horn player who will play WITH you and not just noodle around, completely out of time, over the top can be difficult 😂
LOL.
@@joeyollie123All while telling you to “stay in time” lol
This was absolute gold. Hey @openstudio - could we get a whole course of these two just playing and talking?
Yea please!
Yes please!
Yes please
Yes!
plz
Great video. I'm a bassist who tends to play ahead of the beat at times. I've played with some excellent drummers who would accommodate and beautifully lay back a bit. Then before I knew it, they somehow managed to subtly recalibrate my push. Man, I love excellent drummers. A bass players brother in the groove.
Develop your own inner clock, stop leaning on the drummer. This is endemic in today's players. Check out Miles great quintet with Herbie, Ron and Tony. Nobody leaned on any body else. That's what made this group great.
@@victorparedes4863 I never said I didn't have an inner clock. When the adrenaline flows, I tend to push the beat a bit depending on the situation. And I have found that drummers who are great time keepers are able to make the adjustment to snap me right out of it. It goes both ways. I've righted drummers who are either lagging or a bit ahead of the beat also. It's called teamwork. Teammates pick each other up. A coach doesn't tell the player to just work on his end of it and let the rest of the players worry about their end of it. That's not what a team is, and that's not what a band does.
Love that!!@@mtp4430
Yep, yep, yessir. This is gold. Thank you!
Excellent! See, the groove isn't everybody playing the exact same thing - it's FEELING the same thing. That requires a deep understanding of these small differences in timing. Great discussion by two real pros.
As a drummer who’s played with bass players that push, this is absolute gold!
Thanks for the shout Chris!! This was golden. 🥇Chris, you jumped on that Lined!! 😂🔥It's all about listening and responding.
If Mingus is in the band, everybody follows Mingus. If Art Blakey is in the Band everybody follows Art Blakey.
Awesome insight, could listen to these two all day.
great discussion on "time". being a drummer i've heard too many times how I am the sole time keeper, but i see it more as the band is the time, everyone a touch ahead, behind or on the beat...then the bass and drums in their zone so the other layers can flow on top...thats what makes esp live music so cool....when the band is locked...thats when magic happens....
Exactly how I feel about it. If any of the other players lose the plot if the drums stop, they need to either up their game or be replaced. Everyone in the band should be able to retain the time in their head.
I wish I could find a drummer as good as this guy. He is so subtle, everything sounds beautiful. The amount of times I have to ask a drummer to tone it down on gigs. Do they not understand they play a LOUD instrument and that being a good drummer is not only about technique but also about control. Choosing the drums is like choosing a pit bull as a pet, not a bad thing per se, but if you don't train it properly it is going to f*** up the picnic!
This. Especially as a singer, your overtones (the sound quality) often get blocked by drummers playing too much rides or at the wrong moments. We and the audience need the high frequencies above singing range to always recalibrate not only the pitch (that should work on its own) but the expression too and we're only able to do that when the drummer leaves enough space. I don't care much what other instruments do (they can come in whenever they want) but I follow the base most and the drummer should listen to me, maybe even know my text and phrasing but also be in dialogue, pulling / pushing with the base. Leave some space goddammit :) If you can pull it off, you're awesome with brushes, hihat and snare alone :) you need the rides to control the lagging brass but not me :)
For a drummer the control comes with learning how to play at ppp. Just learning to touch the instrument.
I feel you, a good drummer is definitely hard to find, for sure
This was great. I got Greg's fundamentals class. I highly recommend it whether you're a novice or advanced. Just to hear from a pro. Also I want to say, the sound recording/mix on this video is stellar.
Yes those dynamite engineers! It is the open studio man come on
Excellent demonstration for all musicians. Thank you!!
That is really cool. Nothing can replace a classic. 2 guys. A drum set and a bass. A treat for the ears. Thanks.
Incredible video, could watch these two for hours
Thank you so much for putting these great teachers together and making them available to us. You are doing something important for the next generations of music
The production of this video is great! From the film quality to the animations that go along with the content. Great stuff!
Such a great insight into the magic of making Music together. Great stuff.
Such a great conversation and demonstration of real DnB!
Great content in this video, and an even greater attention to detail and production value by Open Studio. Keep this level of excellence and you'll...well...the sky will be the limit. A true pleasure.
I love his explanation of the concept or need to "recalibrate". That's a great way to explain the interplay and connection that needs to happen between them. Great video!
just gorgeous playing by both guys!
I could watch an hour long version of this!
Their chemistry and playing are both gold
Thank you for including examples. Makes watching this a pleasure instead of having to interupt this and look the clip up myself
I loved every second of this video. These two guys are amazing. Did you notice how casual and cool they sound while discussing truly profound timekeeping concepts? Masters!
I know a gold nugget when I see one, and this one is a keeper I’ll be coming back to again and again. Invaluable insight is what I take away. The musicianship skills these two guys bring to the table is where it’s at.
Guys, for real it's the third time I subscribe to your channel, and I don't remember ever unsubscribing at all
What a beautiful lesson
Superb Duo!! God Bless You!!
Priceless. I LOVE this.
Great lesson from 2 masters. Understanding the dynamics in jazz music is the key
This is the best teaser trailer I've ever seen in my life! I'm extremely hyped about this one!
Master craftsmen at work. Brilliant.
Great conversation!
i keep coming back to this. so much precious info
I was taught by a former big band drummer that the Bass always carries the tempo. I used that knowledge to form a trio of 2 guitars and a bass and it works well. Great post
This was great!! More please!🎼🎵👍💪
that drum kit LOOKS like it sounds amazing. Beautiful kit and more importantly, these massive players. love this
I could listen to you fellas all day!
An extremely helpful video! Thanks!
This was fantastic! Thanks, guys!
I LOVE Both Y'ALL. And you know I do. I'm desperately trying to teach this all over the world. Musicians looking at me crazy when I explain I need y'all to play RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. Period because I'm phrasing around the TEMPO. Now days I just send them these type RUclips Clips. Thanks for this one. I'm all up on here looking for teaching tools. I don't play base or drums, but I sung with BOTH you guys so I know what tempo spoze to be like. LOL
Once again, you guys are telling it like it is. Thanks.
Amazing video. Thanks guys
Great discussion! Great to keep in mind no matter what instrument you play: channel your inner McBride and Hutch.
GREAT, WE WANT MORE! Thank you!
Hutch is a top notch instructor and drummer. World class
this is incredible! Thank you!!
As a drummer--for 55 years--the first place anyone in the band looks for a time issue is the drummer. This is in rock, jazz, any genre. But when playing jazz, I always tried to lock-in with bass player by placing the ride cymbals pattern a nano-second behind the bass player's "walk'. I was taught this is what creates that great swing tension. Been doing that since I learned it and it was a revelation. But I will struggle playing something like Jeep's Blues, which is so behind the beat it is like from last week...:) Great site, great job, great post. Thanks!
Cool! I appreciate your input!
I need a lot more of these two talking and playing. Pure gold.
Wow ! Hutchinson on the drums and McBride on the bass !!! Rhythm section Royalty right here !!!
This is beautiful!
What a gem of a drummer one we all one day hope and dream to find like the level of awareness and consideration of this man in music is where its at
Wonderful information !
Such a helpful video! The point is drummer should keep feel, not exactly keep time like a metronome. More kind of this videos please!!
This is the best jazz channel on RUclips. Period.
This was great. Thank you.
we need more content like this!
Awesome lesson/video!!!!
Yeah, this good right here. Damn good! Thanks y’all! ❤️🔥✊
I would love to hear Christian talk about the difference between playing with Hutch and playing with Brian
I will pay for that shit :)
why not to ask for it?
Legendary Episode!
I need more of this!
You guys are great!
What a great video!
A treat to the soul ! Flawless …
Greg has always been a serious and well-rounded force behind the kit not just swing rhythms, but his hip-hop approach played a major part in today's drumming low-key
Just gold!!!!
Just beautiful.
This is a delight. Bottom line is there are many different ways to groove between drums and bass (or different rhythm section configurations) the most important thing is to get on the same page with whomever you're playing with; sometimes that means literally talking thru it, and analyzing your groove together. You also have to have an awareness of your own feel in relation to the metronome.
Great…learned a lot, thank you!
two masters!
Greg Hutchinson I hope do more videos with Christian McBride, because it helps me as a bass player how to play with a drummer. You Christian go through the great duos like Paul Chambers and Philly Jones, and etc.
So what im getting from this... it seems that the bass is more dictating the subdivisions and how much swing there is as opposed to the actual downbeat.
Great vid by the way! Love the way you guys play.
I saw a vid recently of a producer talking about the wave forms of drum and bass sounds and how different producer line them up different ways on the millisecond level. Its like wether or not to line up the beginning of the sound or its first volume peak with the other instruments in the mix in relation to the down beat. Either way i think the subtle discrepancies of perfect-imperfect rhythm are super important for all musicians and seldom talked about.
Great job again!
Excellent!
I am not English native but this video both conversation and music is so interesting to me. It looks n sounds indicating something very much important . Great video!
Good combination👍
Whoah! That was nice!
Couldn't possibly love anything more.
Next level stuff, guys 😄
Such a Gem!
incredible stuff right here, what a privilege
"We're not talking about drill music, I'm talking real swing here" - classic.
Guys are awesome !
Next level!
Very interesting topic for a drummer 👍
this is beautiful talk
wonderful!
love it!!
The point at 4:00 is phenomenal, and important to understand. When the drummer does that rapid walk with the high hats, it makes the bassist accelerate, sometimes to the point where the bass remains awkwardly ahead of the drums, and you end up with 1.5 rhythm sections, instead of exactly 1.0 rhythm section. Philosophically, I believe in having only one rhythm section, but that’s just me, because there’s no way to confuse the soloist. Giving me a fresh breath with crash cymbal, and centering me, is exactly what I want my drummer doing.
Awesome👏🏻
Has to be the sweetest thing I've heard today.. Maybe ever!! -zl, pno..
I can't believe almost 10 min went by that quick! These cats are great to listen too!
So nice and professional! Gregory is even in "Generation S" ❤
love it!
Great questions. Hopefully everyone had good time.
Sensacional!!!
Great minds
Amazing to be right at genius. What a time.
Acoustic Sound !!
The bass, which is not overly electrically amplified, naturally decays the sound produced by the air vibrations inside its wooden body.
The drums, which are not excessively muted, spread not only the attack sound of hitting head but also the sustaining sound into the space.
Many drummers these days play with large drum sets with an excessive number of tom-toms, but for me, this simple 3-piece set is just enough and there is nothing short of it.
