So I had to start it in realtime listening to tape doing sound-on-sound recording kind of.Īnd one take I did, I was a bit late starting it - so bass in that sequence were on up-beats instead of down-beats. I had a tiny sequencer in there, but no midi. Remember from the 80's having Casio VL-tone before I could afford a sequencer. Then to break new ground - this is another matter. Interesting enough, Jeff never did notation on his tuts, his brother Joe did, transcibing from lessons and what he did there. So yes, Porcaro have a sea of experience in his head - but building on what he teach you can get there quicker what is already known. And he also explains very well what he is doing playing triplets 1st and 3d and how things begin to swing. But looking at some tutorials of Jeff Porcaro he explained how much experimenting there is to find what fits a song. When trying to learn to play drums I also felt that there would be an encyclopedia of all known rhythms. This is a really good foundation to build on - knowing a couple of basics. Getting the patterns for typical styles and listen to them - you know what is in your head, or some resemblance thereof.Įspecially since signatures are different when going more into funk style, with triplets and such. Then there are good and worse ways to teach - is another matter.

It's a bit like saying you should not educate yourself - just do things. But it is more work that way.Ĭan't say I agree much - that a book would be hinderance to anything. But if you work it out yourself, you will always remember, because you build those connections.

When you drive someone home, and they tell you "turn left here, and right now etc." you usually will never remember how to get there again, if you don't know the neighbourhood. Then you will just be copying the book as well.

Now you have to go through the book, and try a bunch of things in the book, before you get to the stage of beginning to experience programming, and trial and error. There is no way around that.įor me, a book just adds an extra step.


That's what makes the connection between the experience and the name, or definition, or shape, or setting, or what have you. The truth is, what really gets you there, is grinding it out, and putting the time in. Reading about compressors, or EQ won't help you there, either. Just like a book of guitar chords won't really help you play guitar, and a book of words, won't help you speak a language. The difficult part about going from what's in your head into reality, is understanding what the names/definitions of the things in your head are, and how to materialize them.Ī book of beats won't be able to do that for you.

I'm kind of academic that way, plus my other motivation is to help my kids with their music studies, too.Īlso, thanks to Nip for the download links. I agree with those who say 'play what's in your head' (which I do) and 'analyze the loops' but I was hoping to get my head around the core structures of these styles in a consistent and clear way so that when I have it in my head I will have a better idea of what it is so I can get it out faster. I'm going with stratman and ordering the Drummer's Bible. Thanks for the thoughts and the wisecracks, too!
