To quote you from another video, because it's such an important piece of advice... "If you're not counting, you're guessing."

@JeffBowders 4 ай бұрын

Absolutely! Especially with this fill. Counting is essential when you're playing phrases and orchestrations that are a bit "outside" the norm. Thanks for the reminder!

Hi Jeff! Saw u play a few times during your paul gilbert days! One was at guitar center LA for a PG clinic in 2009 and i came up to you and shoke your hands and said "good show man!" , you totally rocked the show and like your drum work on racer X with pg! Hope you are doing well and hope to see u play live somwday!

Love Virgil!! Met him twice. Super nice guy. I have a number of his albums with Derek Sherinian/Planet X, Semantic Saturation, Nili Brosh, Kiko Loureiro, Agah Bahari, Bunny Brunel, CAB (featuring Tony on guitar), Devils Slingshot (again w/Tony) Soul Sirkus (2 versions; 1 w/Virgil the other with Deen C.) and Beyond Turbines.

16th note triplet less common than 8th note triplets? in fills on the drums? cough cough .. gospel chops ;)

@JeffBowders 4 ай бұрын

Haha! Yes, definitely a lot of 16th Note Triplets happening in that world. But we do learn and count and feel less notes per beat than we typically do with more.

Check out (and maybe a great fill to break down) Brandon Fields "Aggressive Tranquility off his album, The Other Side of the Story w/Gregg Bissonette on drums. The fill done at 1:38 is one on the smoothest coolest double bass fills recorded IMO. Not super hard but smooth and just about perfect.

@JeffBowders 4 ай бұрын

Of course you would suggest a fill from Master Bissonette! Love this whole album and this fill in particular. I will absolutely to a breakdown of it. Thanks, Mike!

There was a transcription in Modern Drummer back in 1988 with that drum break. There were a couple of examples off that Brandon Fields album provided on a floppy 45. I ended up buying the vinyl. It's a great fusion record. I ended up stealing some of those licks and still use them today.

@cheezruff 4 ай бұрын

Really cool fill. Great breakdown and demo! Virgil fan from way back here, I never knew this CD existed! There are so many incredible double bass grooves and figures in his discography. Gotta mention 2 songs: Apocolypse 1470 BC from Derek Sherinian and Dragon Bones from Serious Young Insects. Some wacky double kick figures that seem very Meshuggah-inspired.

@JeffBowders 4 ай бұрын

Yeah, it's a great album. Marco Minnemann also plays a few tracks on it as well. I couldn't agree more that first Sherinian album and Serious Young Insects were game-changing albums for sure! A new double bass standard was set.
