What's Included In Euro Tour Drum Lessons...

MODULE 1

Funk Groove - Paris, France

Paradiddle funk groove very much in the style of Steve Gadd:

  • Perfect for 70's Funk tunes or 90's Acid Jazz
  • 2 sound level concept; rimshots on snare plus ghost notes
  • Add 5 and 7 stroke rolls at the end as 32nd notes double stroke rolls
MODULE 2

16th Snare Groove - Positano & Sorrento, Italy

With an underlying 4 on the floor feel on bass drum, this groove uses accents within 16ths and 32nd notes:

  • 7 stroke 32nd note roll to begin, with accented 16th pattern to follow
  • 2 sound level concept, accents as rimshots on snare, non accents as ghost notes
  • Add flam strokes on the accents for variation, including the famous Blushda fill
MODULE 3

Odd Accent Groove - Ruta, Italy

Odd accent funk groove very much in the style of David Garibaldi:

  • Interesting use of 5 stroke 32nd note hihat rolls to start the groove
  • Unusual placement of syncopated hihat glisses throughout
  • Variations that include flams, and extra 5 stroke 32nd note rolls
MODULE 4

One Drop Beat - Rhine River, Germany

Jamaican Reggae style groove using 16th notes and 32nd notes:

  • Interesting use of 5 stroke 32nd note hihat rolls to start the groove
  • Unusual placement of syncopated hihat glisses throughout
  • Variations that include flams, and extra 5 stroke 32nd note rolls
MODULE 5

Shuffle Groove - random windmill, Holland

Triplet style shuffle beat great for Blues and other shuffle time feels:

  • Unique single stroke approach to playing the shuffle, for more of a syncopated or polyrhythmic feel
  • The importance of dynamic contrast and light and shade when playing grooves like this that are busy
  • Polyrhythmic variation that sounds almost like an implied metric modulation
MODULE 6

Triple Stroke Beat - St Wolfgang, Austria

Half time 16th feel, using the triple stroke on the hihats:

  • Detailed explanation on how to make any halftime groove, feel right
  • How to use the triple stroke in either hand - RH on the hihats, or LH on the snare, within a half time groove
  • How to play unusual accents on the 4th 16th, straight after the triple stroke, for contrast

This Course Is For You If...
