Hi guys, could those of you who are jazz drummers point me to some good advanced level technique videos for the basic jazz ride pattern on YouTube?
Basically, I can play it at a beginner level, but it's not quite right. My instructor tells me that I play it as a 6 note pattern, instead of as a quarter note groove with an occasional triplet added (or something like that, I may be paraphrasing incorrectly).
He has already shown me twice how it should be done, broken down by strokes - with the empasis on the quarter notes and a de-empasized rebound on the triplet and I can feel and hear the difference, but when I try this at home, I revert to the 'beginner style' 6 beat hits on the ride... Which sounds pretty bad... Needless to say, beginning to feel a bit stupid...
Have tried watching Peter Erskine's Timekeeping is everything - but the one I found on YouTube only has a few seconds of the basic ride pattern.
A you tube search on this turned up 100s of vids, and hard to tell which ones are good.
Any advice, links to what videos to watch from those of you who really know jazz would be very much appreciated. Cheers.
