56 years old. Been playing skins since I was 6. Was guided into a "more reliable" career because becoming recognized was "such a long shot, not a question of just skill, but luck as well". I'm sorry I ever listened to them. I never learned to read and I regret that. Reading and understanding a sheet are essential. I will never be a student at Berklee, but I will always be a student of drumming, sound and exploration. The learning process is infinite. In the meantime I will continue to practice to my Weather Report and Bruford albums, and from people like you Larry. TY for this video, some really beautiful grooves going on. - Pat.
Don’t let this intimidate you! You can learn to read easily and play anything put in front of you. Take it all one beat, to one bar, to one
Line, to one sheet at a time. I was where you were many years ago. I spent hours on end to learn to read and so did. I never made a living in music full time but in Supply Chain Forecast and Analysis and I have no regrets.
Beautiful traditional grip
Beautiful overall playing
This guy is so good. Great chops and feel. Very souldful
oh my god every single note you played felt absolutely amazing
Zoinks. This guy's good. You can feel it.
Love this guy's passion.
I started studying rudiments at the age of 9 in drum corps. My mom bought me Cobham's Spectrum for my 11th and I had his parts figured out in no time. I notice whenever you mention rudiments most drummers lose their shit and attack you. a few years later when I was 15 Mr. Cobham came to one of our practices.
Larrys opening thoughts on the pursuit of employing rudiment patterns into ones groove work is quite simply apt! He reminds us that music is the foremost goal behind the formation of any drum performance and that the rudiments serve as means to articulate or express ones own individual musical expression with the music always being the reason for whats played in the forst place. Note his anology about arbitrarily imposing rudiment figures to form a groove figure as a means to include rudiments in ones playing is like trying to include extra letters in a spoken word. You can do it but it will sound as sensible as the word with the added letters. He suggests though , i m nterpreting though,allowing the rudiment to take shape by discovery and organically. The music informing the pattern build and choice rather than the method of super imposing a pre determined rudiment pattern atop of the music. If im off thats ok vut im impressed by all the nuggets this expert shares in explanation aswell as his demonstration
Larry is very cool with his ideas.
Great. Very helpful ... inspiring. Thank you, Larry.
This guy is great, love his playing.
The Ratamacue groove from 4:16 is killer.
amazing !!
Brilliant thank you for sharing!
Great great stuff!!
Super informative stuff!
Great Video Brother Thanks For Sharing.
Awesome video!!!
Thanks for sharing the lovely video. You are awesome!! I have subscribed to your great channel. Nice to meet you. Cheers and smiles!
Awesome!!
Very skillful. I use the para-diddle groove a lot when I'm trying to get stuff to sound a little more complex than straight fours. Also works between the bass foot and snare hand.
thanks a lot! :) we appreciate the support!
2:39 is fire.
i am already subscribed...

yessir!!!!
OMG! cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Larry it’s Vance, let’s catch up!
Goddamn it fucking awesome!
yeah!! please subscribe to support us! :)
what is the sticking for the drag five?
Does anyone know the sticking for that 'drag-5' thing he talks about at the end of the vid. It goes by too fast for my brain to process :) Is it just a drag before a 5-roll?
Yes, the fives are singles. So, tap/drag/single 5 stroke roll.
please, can anyone explain the foot/hand sticking beginning at 1:37? I mean the inverted paradiddle that he plays and it's amazingly funky/cool
alex dornelli I would actually suggest you use the slow down feature that RUclips has and you can hear it out for yourself
that "steve smith" lick is actually a version of tony williams lick known as "blushda"
great drummer, does he play in any band?
Jon Finn Group. No relation.
yeah man!! please subscribe to support us! :)
it should be a ratamacue! please subscribe to support us! :)
The rudiment @ 3:01 is a blushda. I guess it takes a teacher at Berklee to get it wrong and call it a flam-drag. Save your money kids. You can learn to be a great musician without moving to Boston. That said, the pizza across the street ant Supreme's is very good.
his voice kinda simmiliar to johnny rabb
See I feel like you can never be an expert at anything because the moment you get comfortable and think you know all there is to know, someone will always come and teach you something new or something different that you haven't tried.
I thought the same until I had the opportunity to play with one of my all time heroes (in a very minor supporting role), and although he was a whole universe better than me in every way, he still said to me; 'wow that riff was cool, do that again and show me'. and that made me realize we're all experts to some people - it's just some people are experts to 'more' people.
Whats louder the bass drum cymbals or squeeking drum throne seat
what kind of snare?
First Black and Asian Who isn't' kind that all in the first place
Share drum sounds awful.
Sounds like a big mess bro sorry I’m not impressed you are a teacher and Berkeley where all the spoiled rich kids go who’s mommies and daddies pay.
You are all over the play making no sense
Now I know for sure that Vinnie graduated from Berklee.
Unfortunately, I don't have $240,000 to complete a 4 year degree.
