jz, hast du sound bei dem video?
bei mir ist ton dabei, halt nicht besonders laut, aber man kann ganz gut hören was passiert.
übrigends hat jojo ein paar zeilen zu diesen techniken auf seiner website geschrieben. Die matched grip technik hat er scheinbar gar nicht von buddy.
Zitatcheck out the 2nd volume of the DCI Buddy Rich video tape (60' &70'). He plays a solo almost entirely on his cymbals. At some point he beautifully displays the left hand finger thing. It's the only footage i know showing him doin'it. Get it!
I think his secret , besides tha fact that he was totally relaxed while doing it, was that he could compleately isolate the finger movement from the rest of the hand. Almost no wrist action.That's cruical to get the speed: less mass = more agility /speed. I've been working on this finger isolation on my left hand for quite a while now but, athough closer, i'm still not (and maybe never will be) at Buddys level. That guy was something...
BUT- I am able to do this with my right hand ! The "thumb thing" (as i call it) that i demonstrate on the MD fest video was showed to me by a french drummer in the early 80'. I forgot his name (too bad). the secret ? same thing :Isolation!
Another hint : Check out Steve Gadd on DCI "in session" Tape. He does a similar thing with his left hand while playing a samba pattern. A student of mine uses this technique and he's incredibly fast with it.
As a matter of fact, i ve seen many other drummers using various hybrids of that basic concept (Jeff Hamilton, Kenwood Dennard, Vinnie). I think the main thing is to figure out what works for YOU. Just be creative. Use Your immagination. I took a thing i saw Han Bennink (a great Free Jazz drummer from Holland) do a few years ago. as i played around with his idea, I eventually developped that "tilting" thing I'm doing on the MD festival on the far left snare drum.Experiment!
übrigends ist die technik ne nette fingerübung, wie ich gerade wieder feststellen muss.
