I mean, seriously, wtf mate?

And I'm in one of those moods. It's good B-)

Haha I just wanted to start a thread on the Organissimo board about Death Metal.

You know what I really like? Death Metal. I really like Death Metal. Sue me. But there is no other music with that pure onslaught of harsh tones, noisey expression, and edgy emotion over a big fat groove. I mean...I like the music...the whole scene is pretty dumb; I don't pay attention to the whole gore blablabla stuff or any of that. But I like Cryptopsy and Grimfist! But I also like Sonny Stitt and Weather Report. I guess I'm just schizo. Or crazy. On that note, I really like Sonny Stitt. -->

Sounds like everyone got helped from this topic more than I even did. Thanks a lot for the links, and as a matter of fact I once knew a guy who carried a trinome. It was fun, it had a cool little bell that rang every time it hit the "one." I've been working with my private instructor about it some too, with the polyrhythmic kind of stuff, and what he's trying to get me to do is he'll clap time and I'll keep it on a cymbal and snare or something and he'll call out a number like 13! or 7! and I try and fit that many counts into the 10 evenly with my foot. Grueling. (sp?) Anyway, that seems to be helping me get more comfortable with the different kinds of rhythmic stuff going on between your time and your clave or whatever. If anyone wants to try I mean But you might want to take a deep breath first.

Haha and the worst part is, we can't win with this kind of snob. I guarantee that if someone tried to explain to him that he doesn't know what he's talking about, he'd call them a typical elitist jazz fan.

Haha jazz forum troll. Shocking. Go outside man.

I voted Freddie Freeloader because it's a good goddam tune.

Poor Freddie Hubbard.

Psh, you write me off as a fool. Naw, I've been crawling with this stuff, really. It's just more or less physical coordination exercises that I'm looking for. Something to send me down the right track. The rest of your post, however, really did help, thanks! mikeweil - Thanks a lot too. Good stuff. I'm gonna try and pick up that book this afternoon if I can get it at Sam Ash, but knowing them I might have to order it. Haha, yea, I had to remind myself that I'm not that terrible when I was watching these videos of El Negro and Antonio Sanchez, I know what you mean.

So I've been getting down the road of more advanced independence, beyond that of swing and some basic bossa nova etc etc, and I was wondering if any other drummers on here who work on this type of playing a lot have any "special" kind of tips or secrets? I'm learning that it's no crystal stair trying to lay down improv over 7/8 claves with both feet! But just to help out a beginner/slightly-more-advanced player in this department, what can you tell me? A big problem I've had is separating my feet, as well as using my feet to play beats outside of the clave that that foot is already playing...like for instance, if I hit a cowbell with my left foot on say 2 and the and of 3 every bar, it's damn hard to play counts on other beats to integrate with the improv my hands might be doing. I know it's kind of dark here...but I'm struggling! ANYthing at all would be great.

My last name is Hammond... Guess I better start learning to play organ.

WHEEE WAYNE SHORTER: Db13, Db13, Ab13, C#13, 13 13 13 13 13 13......7..... 13

Ah okay, thanks for the Three Blind Mice, I actually knew about the Ugetsu Ping Pong but I forgot Thanks a lot

What are other recordings of the Jazz Messengers doing Ping Pong besides on Roots and Herbs? Any help would be appreciated, I'm sure there's tons but I can't seem to find it.

I want to go to Venezuela.

I saw Nathaniel Townsley do a thing with drums, bass and organ trio and whoo baby. NT is the man.

I recently came across a CD of The Rosenberg Trio, called Sueños Gitanos. The songs are great, with some great percussion. Especially their arangement of Moonflower. Does anyone know anything more about this group, especially choice discography? Let me know. By the way, I guess I might as well announce myself in here as I just joined...my name's Matt, I'm only 16, I play drums, piano, and vibes, and I love music. B-)
