Im looking to meet nice people who use their brain for constructive purposes, not violence. Im a talker...talk, talk, talk, and Anyone that can keep interesting conversation is a plus! Im also looking to network with other drummers, of course.
Heres a quick video of me taking a simple sticking idea, and recycling it to get some different feels out of it. Its important to do this with all the stickings and articulations that you know, because you never know what you may discover! ....
Heres the famous drum lick from "Chuck E's in Love". I know this lick never dies, so I wanted to post it for all who may not know how to play it.Its linear in fashion, and the sticking is FLLRRLLF RLLRRLLF, with the right hand coming over to the snare for 2 & 4. These notes are played as 32nd notes, against a moderately slow beat.As usual, my video camera is lousy and wont pick up any subtle playing, but in reality the lick is played with softer grace notes than Im playing here, and a little bit slower.I start the video off playing it REAL slow, so you can hopefully grasp how the sticking falls, then I bring it up to a workable speed.
