ANNOUNCEMENTS!
This weekend gone was a flying start
for Funk & Illusion Drumming!
We took the drums and all the recording / filming gear down
to the Great Ocean Rd for two days of fantastic filming.
Getting the computers etc down the cliff / rocks / narrow
path proved to be a bit of a mission at times, especially at
Artillery Rocks on the Sunday, but the Rockyhouse Media team
pulled through in fine form!
As you'll see in this Big Drum video on Gospel Beats
(including brand new Ezybeats with live music), the closed
miking audio sounds a lot better. |

On the Saturday we filmed the
very big Linear Drumming section.
The weather started out fine, then gradually
clouds of doom started appearing, and the waves started getting
pretty angry. Luckily I didn't get soaked and it didn't rain at all!
It provided a great backdrop though for the filming, real attitude!

On the
Sunday we filmed Gospel Beats, Soul Stomp, Disco
Variations, New Jack Swing, Split Beats, 32nd Note Beats and Odd
Accent Beats. Sunday was a picture perfect day! And a very nice
contrast to the Saturday. I found a nice rock to sit on, set the kit
around it, decorated the kit in seaweed and rolled tape.

SHOW!
Todays lesson is on Gospel Double Time Beats. The
footage is a small part of what is covered in the Gospel section of
Funk & Illusion Drumming. All notation and Ezybeats with live music
are in the video, enjoy!
