Billy Cobham is from the rudimental school, here he demonstrates how to play ratamacues around the drums. Unlike many other rudiments, ratamacues have a softer beginning that crescendo fast, it's a surprising effect when applied musically around the drums.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192944594038279448.post-88139263497972227352010-02-13T13:23:00.000-08:002010-02-13T13:24:40.151-08:00Fast Rolls and Dirty Eights<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/umv5mBmOs2M&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/umv5mBmOs2M&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /> This technique is designed for anyone who wants to learn the effortless fast roll. Hold on to your sticks with all fingers, lock your wrists, rotate from the elbows, and your hands move straight up and down. Eight on a hand from the elbow, hitting two notes instead of one is what I call "Dirty Eights". Fast Rolls are the same thing as Dirty Eights just add the other hand. The roll pattern I demonstrate is in five/ four it's two tap five rolls and a tap drag.

Play a triplet based eight on a hand exercise with one hand and eighth note accents and taps with the other hand in a two against three feel. <br />If you want to play one handed singled flam drags play triplets accented on the first note with one hand and low eighth notes with the other hand. <br />This works well as a drum line warm up or for moving around on the drum set.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192944594038279448.post-88880922358630969972010-01-26T18:50:00.000-08:002010-01-28T21:21:03.492-08:00Tu-Cha-Cha-a<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/olOeGcm0RzA&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/olOeGcm0RzA&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />Tu-Cha-Cha-a (rllr,lrrl) is a hybrid rudiment relative to the Tu-Cha-Chada (rlll/lrrr).Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192944594038279448.post-77608949462294903712010-01-24T20:21:00.000-08:002010-01-28T21:19:31.599-08:00Flam Five Variations<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RrsCCKj9xjI&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RrsCCKj9xjI&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />Try playing flam fives with these stickings:<br />(rrllr/llrrl)<br />(rrrlr/lllrl)<br />(rllrl/lrrlr)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
