All Pro Drummers Should Be Able to Do These

Күн бұрын

In this Jazz Drummer Q-Tip of the Week drum set lesson, I break down 6 essential foot ostinatos that many pro drummers can’t do. Learning these 6 essential foot patterns will improve a drummer’s ability to solo. These foot ostinatos and patterns will improve every drummer’s coordination, independence and control. Many pro drummers can’t do this because they never worked on it not realizing how much it can enhance their playing.

Thank you Quincy that material is solid in the development independence or interdependence and the internal clock. When you said syncopation, in the 5/4 ostinato my mind went to Ted Reed and using any of the nine exercises you could take a bar and extend it to the first beat of the next bar, giving you a figure/melody to place over the ostinato.

And then take it to the next thing or the next level. This is very good advice for me.

Mr. Davis!!!!! First and foremost, I want to say I listened to you on Aaron Diehl’s Space, Time Continuum twice in a row today. I hear so much of everything you teach within your playing. Perfectly stylistic! Your performance on that record is a clinic in jazz drumming. Great album! Now for this video, yes I’ve practiced some of these and some other ostinatos, especially when I was checking out how Terry Bozzio originally started using ostinatos. Your suggestion of playing all the rudiments with the samba feet ostinato is the premise for the great teacher Alan Dawson’s workout “Rudimental Ritual”. You can find copies of that just by googling it. Great stuff! FP

I first saw a guy named Frank Briggs talking about the importance of foot osteanatos. Then Thomas Pridgen was practicing rudiments over a super quick Samba on Drumeo. I couldn't do ANY of it, and I had been playing for a while. It's still not my forte because I'm a rock drummer. I do think it's one of the quickest ways to clean up your rudiments because it forces them to have a specific note value. My double stroke roll was terrible until I started putting over a Samba...it really helped a lot! Thnx for the video. More patterns to practice. 😊

Right? I like teaching rote concept stuff too. Most popular music that kids listen to has no creative element like this. So, I'd be interested to see just how they understand this stuff. You being 80, and me 53. We have a lot of sight reading, listening, and theoretical knowledge to back it up. I have a student now who will read, but if I let him go he starts noodling. Noodling is ok, but he lacks the structure to even play rhythmically in time. I've relied on some ostinato patterns to give him time to figure out how to keep things organized.
