Drum n Bass / Breakbeat Posted by: Edwordless
Video duration: 175 seconds http://edwordless.go oglepages.com This is a short clip of some practice of up-tempo Drum n Bass / Breakbeat style drums. I modified the sticks with some zills for some stochastic sound, and generally play it free form. In the real world I would be using a metronome to keep things honest, but it gives you an idea of the styles I'm working on.

Improv Prepared Posted by: Edwordless
Video duration: 536 seconds Some practice from a few years back, exploring textures and sounds using a laptop generating ambient sound, a drum machine for short loops, and some alternative sounds on the drumset. One unique sound is a pair of two-way radios, one strapped to a mic about 6 feet from the speakers, the other in my hand. I can control the feedback as I push to talk.

Uptempo Odd Meter Posted by: Edwordless
Video duration: 179 seconds This is a practice session of some odd meter uptempo grooves. It's in 13-8 throughout, and I tend to count it using Indian tala. . . tha ka di mi - tha ki ta - tha ka - tha ka di mi. It's pretty busy, and is a mental and physical workout.

Drum Lesson:Speeding Up and Slowing Down in Time Posted by: Edwordless
Video duration: 165 seconds This is a short lesson on using varying subdivisions to speed up and slow down in time. 1/8 note=200bpm, using 2,3,4,5,6,7, and 8 hits per beat. This is a simple exercise on snare drum that helps develop the overall time feel that can then be applied in different settings. Good luck!

I Want You Baby Posted by: Edwordless
Video duration: 131 seconds I am a drummer; but, last year my 6 year old daughter began guitar lessons and I sat in on a few. I like to apply things, so she and I wrote this song together about my wife, her mom. There's no chords to speak of, but it's a sketch of a song that's kind of catchy.
