Hi Steve,
I would like to known if you can explain on the song "Graphic", the groove and the sticking you use at 41". I think you play all strokes with your left hand (back beat and ghosts notes), but it's incredible!!!
Amazing groove.
Best regards!!!
Hey thanks man!
Yeah, all the stuff on the snare is left hand only. That groove is difficult for me to play over extended periods of time sometimes, so it's giving me something new to practice. I'm exploring different technical approaches to getting mulitple left hand strokes and it's really pushing me. I don't have it transcribed or anything, sorry. The first few times I actually don't like my BD placement, but it varies through out and I think the overall vibe of the groove comes through. It's kind of a Novaky kind of thing I was going for.
If someone posts a short excerpt of that section, I'll give a go at transcribing some of it.
V-Drum...guys like you AMAZE me! Both you and Joe B probably sit in a cabin on vacation with headset on widdilin away.
thanks steve,
i try to play this groove, but i don't have a good back beat on the first stroke. i' don't play traditionnal grip, so ...
Good CD, i like, better than the first i think...
Did you do a DVD as for the first recording?
Pocketplayer,
I love drumming and am always eager to learn a new groove, fill, etc. Transcribing is one of the best ways to pick up cool new things. I've spent a lot of time writing out music on my computer. I have over 2000 Finale files (though some are duplicate backup files). Some are a couple of measures long, some go on for many pages. I've done transcriptions, lessons for my students, exercises for myself, solo ideas, and very advanced concepts that aren't in many books yet (cyclic displacement, beat displacement, metric modulation, partial beat displacement, polyrhythmic grooves, etc). I may have OCPD, Obsessive Compulsive Percussive Disorder.
hey v-drummer,
you are a good man to offer do this for us. i have one here i would be happy to pay you to transcribe! i'm serious. great fill by aaron spears from the grammy's 2005. i've got to learn this bad ass fill! seriously, let me know if you have rates or whatever and maybe we can get in touch by regular e-mail or PM me?

Very tasty Steve!
The contrast between ghost notes and backbeats is what makes it sound so good...
Thanks, Steve. I've got a few things to do ahead of it, but I'll give it a shot as soon as I can.
