Anybody learning an instrument otr?

My best friend in grade school was the same. Marching band though I think.

On the jazz side, did you ever get down with brushes instead of sticks?

There was this touring jazz drummer in SLC a few years ago who was marketed as playing percussion as melody solo. Don't remember who... but is there anyone that stands out as a jazz drummer you recommend?

I never realized how old the peppers were until I heard a documentary about their early years and who was it, George Clinton or someone like that, I think produced an early album.

Did you ever try out the electronic kits they have, what do they call em? Pads? Or something like that

 

Haha story of my life

 

Blues seems like a fun rabbit hole to go down.

I've heard so many styles referenced, muddy, Chicago, Memphis, swamp, etc wheres a good place to start?

 

Haha wtf that reminds me of some royal guard from Robin Hood the cartoon with the fox

 

Louisiana where I picked my blues love at small place no one would of found older gentleman said I was a natural after only a few sessions. He mentioned when fishing or traveling in certain areas, you hear banjo, you best check yourself, you may be going to place you don't want to go lots of people disappear told me lots of moonshine made there too and your likely find a few places get you shot fishing rather legal or not and ain't no one gonna know when your alligator food...

 

My all time favorite drummer ever is Clyde Stubblefield . Best know as the drummer for James brown . Dude has some of the funkiest chops I ever witnessed . Used to try to play like him and never came close to ever catching his groove.. this record right here basically birthed early hip hop music. Clyde is the one playing the drums here. I used to be able to play this quite well but there's no way in hell I could catch that groove anymore


we would play with brushes every once in awhile when the work wasn't drum driven, and just laying back in background filling space. Electronic drums I never tried them out at all . Had a buddy that had them , but I was always a analog type of guy. I love making noise. Especially heavy metal music . I used to love beating the #### out of em

 

If you can play this on a harmonica you bad ###!

 

Train Train ?

Oops didn’t read first. lol.

 

Is he playing that with LR on hats , or fast R on the hats?

 

And the band played on,,,,
