Blushdas rule! I stole a bastardized version of Gregg Bissonette's blushda from his Private Lesson video back in the day. Since he didn't explain it in that video, I had to "fake" it since he executed them at the speed of light. His newest double DVD explains them in great detail. Lo and behold, I was doing them incorrectly (maybe that's why they didn't sound like Tony's? JK). At any rate, it was awesome seeing Steve's demonstration which further solidified that I had been doing them wrong all these years. Truth be told, the blushda brought me to HOD.

Oh NOOOOOooooooooooo! [Mr. Bill-lushda]

Looks like yet another unsuspecting tub-rattler succumbs to the demoniacal-beast...garlic won't work...a crucifix won't work...silver bullets won't stop it...dirty bombs...smart bombs...nuclear holocaust won't end it...
No one who enters & desecrates this un-wholly tomb will ever leave alive...MuwawHAHAHAHAAAAAHHHH

Da Curse O' Da [img]redface.gif[/img] -da [bless you]
[Or, AKA, the Beast-lushda That Would Not Die.]

Eh...*ahem.*
Sorry.

None of you mere mortals can ever hope to attain the pinnacle-level of blushda-notoriety that Gregg, Tony, Vince, SSmith, Novak, & HOLMES haven't already reached...& eclipsed, & peaked; like a long, white-bearded sage perched on top of the Himalayas...the Mr. Miyagi's of Blushda-san...meh...heh...heh...heh...

Maybe they'll play it as sparse and tastefully as Smith and Bissonette do [img]wink.gif[/img]

I'm not sure if you know it - it isn't clear in your post, but that lick you posted isn't a Blushda.

The Blushda starts with a flam and is followed by a drag. It usually has a sticking of rL rrl in a triplet rhythm. It can also be played lR llr and sounds similar to a flam drag but with a different sticking. Another common variation is to put the flam on the last partial of the triplet like rrl rL or llr lR.

The lick you've offered is a sextuplet pattern phrased as a 9-9-6 grouping. It's a cool lick too.

Hi Vdrummer, can you make a quick transcription of the Bmushda like you do generally for us so ?
