The Sly Hat by Taylor Friesth, is a book focused on how to have the hi-hat foot to be an addition to your everyday drumming. Taylor will guide you through the very basics of how to use the hi-hat all the way to the advanced concepts of incorporating the hi-hat foot. All of this with the intent to not only serve the music but also to make drumming more efficient, and to allow for new sounds out of the drum kit..
Geared toward beginning band and orchestra students, HAL LEONARD SNARE DRUM METHOD is a modern, musical approach to learning snare drum.
Oggi vorrei parlare dei gruppi regolari e irregolari che a mio avviso ritengo importantissimi nello studio della musica in generale e soprattutto nella batteria.
Chris Coleman ha pubblicato un DVD con la Hudson Music dal titolo “Playing with precision and power” (2008) ed è da qui che, dopo un nostro incontro, gli abbiamo chiesto di buttare giù un esercizio “autografo” per tutti gli amici di Planet Drum.
Rhythmic Imagination: Brazilian Rhythms Coordination Studies, by Ramon Montagner, seeks to help students develop the aptitude for the execution of rhythms, and ascend some steps further in the sense of rhythmic independence.
The method is based on his extensive use and experimentation of his own material with students for over a decade, inspired by the systems used by Gary Chester, Alan Dawson, and John Ramsay, as well as Marvin Dahlgren, Elliot Fine, and Norman Grossman.
Drummer Aquiles Priester has just released the first official teaser for his new DVD and Blu-ray, “All Access To Aquiles Priester’s Drumming”.
Recorded in the studios of the Harman Experience Center in Los Angeles, CA, in August 2018 “All Access to Aquiles Priester’s Drumming” brings, besides the institutional lesson, themes that the drummer registered on Hangar’s last album, “Stronger than Ever”, tracks from the three albums he recorded with Noturnall and the two new compositions by Edu Falaschi executed by the same musicians of his solo tour “Rebirth of Shadows Tour”. It was shot by Foggy Films with 12 cameras, designed by producers Junior Carelli and Rudge Campos, in partnership with Adair Daufembach, who took care of the recording, mixing and mastering.
Double Stroke Roll
Salve a tutti amici di Planet Drum, e benvenuti ad un altro appuntammo con questa mia rubrica didattica.
Oggi vorrei parlare di uno dei rudimenti più importanti e a mio avviso più complicati da velocizzare, il Double Stroke Roll cioè il rullo a colpi doppi RRLL. Negli ultimi anni per esigenze di lavoro ed espressive ho impiegato molto del mio tempo nel passaggio dalla traditional grip alla matched grip ed ho dovuto rieducare da zero la mia mano sinistra, sicuramente più avvezza ai singoli con la presa simmetrica e particolarmente allenata ai doppi con l’impostazione tradizionale. Ho ancora molto lavoro da fare, ma ho così riscoperto cosa vuol dire allenare da zero questo rudimento. Ho cercato di capire ad esempio quali movimenti potevo copiare dalla mano destra, riscontrando dunque l’importanza dell’utilizzo corretto delle dita e dell’evitare che la bacchetta sia lasciata a se stessa e priva di controllo all’interno della mano. In ogni caso ci sono diverse gestioni di ogni rudimento che variano a seconda dei volumi e soprattutto a seconda delle velocità.
