LOL! Thanks for the kind words and for watching! No vocal lessons from this guy. I do like to scat sing though. Keep swinging my friend 🤙

It was originally a kind of somber ballad. The singer I perform with Yuka Aso, really likes to turn songs on their head. I love the fast Latinish groove much better. Here's the original: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fLiYac-Qmr_GfKc.htmlsi=7eOClVrDJMKQ6hbc

Great story and I've got so much respect for Chapin. I worked out of his book like millions of others. 🤙

Thanks Steve for sharing your knowledge and thoughts on traditional grip! I love traditional and matched grips. For Jazz I feel the asymmetry of my hands with traditional grip makes me more creative. For brushes, I feel it really makes a difference to be more musical. Keep swinging my friend 🤙

Mike thanks for sharing your knowledge here! Actually, the owner of the shop went to the Istanbul factory after I made this video. I believe they have more of those cymbals now. Perhaps it's time for another trip to the store! Keep swinging my friend 🤙

Thanks for sharing your experience and double stroke roll practice tip! I remember doing that back on the high-school band drum line. That's a great way to "roll"! Keep swinging my friend 🤙

Yes absolutely. I even use aluminum sticks to warm up. Amazing switching back to sticks 👍

@@rondeangelis7384 Wow! So they're heavier?

Alex thanks so much for the kind comment and for watching! Keep swinging my friend 🤙

Thanks for watching and for sharing your drumming experience. I understand where you are coming from. That's why I created Jazz Drum School. I want to make Jazz drumming accessible for every drummer. Jazz drumming is actually World drumming because we learn to play drum beats from many genres across the globe like Samba, Bossa Nova, Mambo, Bolero, Songo, Hip-Hop, Calypso, pop and a whole lot more. Over the years, Jazz has really become a melting pot of music. Jazz Swing feel is also unique and so fun to play. If you ever need a hand with your Jazz drumming, I'd love to help you out at Jazz Drum School: jazzdrumschool.com/ This Jazz classic "Kind of Blue" is a great place to start for your Jazz listening if you haven't already checked it out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rKqhiK93us2ac40.htmlsi=CdnMyvtRg39K8tau I hope all that helps and keep swinging my friend 🤙

Thanks so much for watching and for your request. Please see my comment above with some videos of full songs I've uploaded to my channel. I'll be putting up more in the future. Keep swinging 🤙

Thanks always for the kind words and for watching 🤙

Thanks Ron! It's a great exercise for me too! I hope you enjoy it. I'm planning to roll out a Rudiments Course later this year and will include an expanded version of this exercise in there. Hope you're having a swinging great day my friend 🤙

@jazzdrumschool wow Von, that will be interesting. What would really be cool, rudiments with brushes (not as Alan Dawsons using stick strokes) but brush motions (sweeps, etc)

Thanks Ron for the suggestion! Actually, if you take any rudiment and play it laterally (from the side) you can get a softer and more "brushy" sound with any rudiment!

@jazzdrumschool yes von that’s it. I couldn’t find the correct term to use. 👌
