I love this comment. You're so right!

Still waiting

Yeah. They'll act all creative! Ha!

Thanks George - there is a real cool poster that goes with this series. Send me the address to the shop, and I'll have VF send a bunch out to you - for your teaching rooms, etc.

Thanks a million Daniel! Always love your material. I'd love the posters too. Address is: InnerBeat Drum School, 1368 Tennessee Ave, Pittsburgh, Pa, 15216

Absolutely true. If you check out my Century Project DVD (upon which this video series is based), I talk much more about this subject in greater detail. This KZfaq series just scratches the surface compared to what's in the DVD.

@@DanielGlassDrums is there old recordings in your dvd ? I'm searching but I don't find any of the first marching bands

i agree

Cool, thx for the reference.

You're welcome. The left hand does hold the traditional grip ... unless you are a left handed drummer (which I am), in which case it's the other way around.

Hallelujah👑🎉

Hey Pachuko by Royal Crown Revue

Open collar look like what's on the DVD cover was already popular in the 1940s/50s.

you're kidding right? the part with a number after it doesn't give you a clue?

those weren't there when I asked

Many parts. The drum set evolved throughout the country, although its first use in jazz was in New Orleans. Watch the next few episodes to learn more about that.

1920s Ludwig and Ludwig. Pretty sure the dimensions are 26 x 14.

@@DanielGlassDrums thank you very much!!

Andris Ērglis Hey Pachuco

It's the drum solo video from this series. You can find it on dw drums' channel

I think it is "Hey Pachuco" by Royal Crown Revue (Daniel play drums in the band)

MagZ1905 was it daniel or mark stern..of youth brigade...mark was in the movie the mask but i dont know if he was the drummer on the recording

eeeee macarena

Called "East Side Rumble," based on Royal Crown Revue's "Hey Pachuco." You can hear the entire song, as well learn much more about the history of the drum set on the "Century Project" DVD.

Yes he is, which is why he plays a left-handed setup as well (snare on the right) :)

Joe Hillmeyer Definitely a contentious statement. Blues wasn't commercially accessible, hadn't been formalized, not until sometime between 1900 and 1910. But it did exist, in a sense, as work songs and hollers and spirituals. If one includes those types of song in the blues category, blues has been in the U.S. since slavers first brought African/African-American slaves to the U.S.. But if you're a stickler about blues form (12 bars, I-IV-V progression, &c.) and publication/standardization, blues didn't exist until 1900-1910. But that's also a troublesome argument to make; it'd be to say that anthropologists, composers, and publishers of Western European descent defined what blues "really" is. I dunno. Hard to say how to look at it, at least for me. I'm no expert, just an enthusiast. How about you, Joe?

+Joe Hillmeyer and Aaronson Bell. Thanks for your thoughts on this segment. The question I pose in the video is "What was the most POPULAR kind of music in America in 1865?" When I say there "was no blues, to speak of," it's because blues as an identifiable music style did not yet exist. Certainly, the elements that would come to define blues field hollers, work songs, spirituals and the "ring shouts" of Congo Square - were already in practice, but no one was documenting them in any way, and they were not on the radar screen of the vast majority of Americans. The first official "blues" song was not actually produced as sheet music until about 1909, and an identifiable style of music called "blues" (using the 12-bar format, etc) did not become widely popular in the US until the 1920s.

+Aaronson Bell Well blues was around. So was jazz. The majority of the country (white folk) didn't enjoy listening to this type of music until the 1900's when the Harlem Renaissance started up in New York.

In Africa before that

I believe it was Africa

​@@johnbensinger4931 Every ancient culture had drums

Yes, absolutely.

Absolutely!

Well to be fair...i believe you're thinking of the 1900s. Jazz and blues really weren't around until the LATE 1800s/early 1900s. Around the time he's speaking of (1865), 'bands' as we think of them today were not as common; we had marching bands, military bands, orchestras, etc. Nearly all popular music was in the form of marches, orchestral pieces, etc. And of course, different countries had different native styles of music at the time, but jazz and blues STILL were not prevalent until the late 1800s or so

No popular music before 1865..religious music? No dance music provided by the slaves and indentured servants for the the plantation owners' parties which included classical pieces by visiting artistes, quadrilles, polkas etc. There are examples of popular music - even written down from the 1830s, Daddy Rice, Jim Crow Blues etc.There's an interesting site at www.americanmusicpreservation.com/Americanmusictimeline.htm#17thcentury. The history of the banjo is also instructive..en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banjo.. Best wishes,

Bob Jones He's said in another comment, he's referring to POPULARIZED blues/jazz, in america; which there was basically none of.

Sure there wasn't jazz as we understand it today, but the roots were there, to start the piece to say there was no popular music apart from marching bands ( which weren't necessarily popular depending who's side you were on), is ahistorical.

The music that is referred to as jazz, and that was originally called jass, developed during the 1910s out of several genres, mainly early blues, marching bands and ragtime. Blues as a style of music developed in the late 1800s but didn't sound like what we call music today until the early 1900s. So 1865, there was definitely no jazz or blues. YES there were precursors, but since one of them was marching bands, and that's where drumming was developed in those days, this documentary clearly makes sense to focus on that, while your comment makes no sense at all.

Drums were used before 1865 just not in a drum kit. This is the history of the drum kit, not drums.

No, but he used a type of overhang drum pedal visible in a photo.

The blues certainly existed in the 1800s, but was not written down or "named" as such until the early 20th century and did not become a popular "style" until the 1920s.

@@DanielGlassDrums But the way it was phrased was saying, "No Blues to speak of". Yes, Blues existed even then whether it was considered popular or not.

@@BluesCat1980 If it wasn’t named “the blues” until the 20th century, then no one could have spoken of it in that term in the 19th century. Hence my use of the phrase “so to speak.“ Regardless, your point is taken, and I’ll do my best to be clearer in future.

@@DanielGlassDrums I myself am a Blues historian. I am involved with the Blues Foundation and teach kids about Blues in schools. I guess I'm just a huge fan of Blues and the history of it from its very humble beginnings to a worldwide phenomenon.

@@BluesCat1980 - Fantastic! Checked out some of your KZfaq videos and you are a very accomplished musician - great stuff. Love the T-bone Walker style on guitar! Hit me up via the email on my website, danielglass.com, and we can chat further! Peace, and all the best to you and yours.

Gaston Hernandez no mms wey

How rude of you to criticize the American company Vic Firth for making a free instructional video in the language of of the country in which they are headquartered. Spanish isn't the unique language of the world either, so maybe tell your Spanish speaking people to make world-class drumstick companies that make the best damn sticks on the planet, and then they can make the video in Spanish.

I can hire a translator for spanigh subtitles if you send me the money
