about Steve's patented drum phrase pronunciation

I'd like to learn some of this lingo. I was quite impressed by the accuracy of that drum fill that you immitated with gibberish off of your studio video clip. It went something like "da-datch datch dago be-ohhhh goughsssh baaaah"...

Just how can I learn this mystical talent? Maybe it's time for a new HOD lesson...

Kidding... Just being a dork at 1:30, don't know what else to say.

I am digging the new stuff! You got a killer snare sound going on in that video clip, what are you using? In fact, all of those recording customs are singing like crazy! The tones you are getting sound like late 80's/early 90's RC's which IMO are some of the best drums ever made. Also, I am especially digging the metric modulation teasers on that vid. That stuff is so much fun to play.


Anyway, good stuff and I can't wait to hear the final product.

Thanks man, glad you liked the vid.
The snare is a Dunnet Titanium, with wood interior hoops. You're right about the Yamahas; Recording customs purchased in the late 80's. I was enjoying the sound of my drums today at rehearsal, and got a compliment on them at a bar in Santa Monica recently as well from the sound guy.
I've always been a fan of the singing drum stuff. Sometimes I find myself doing it and suddenly realize there are non-musicians around who must think I'm nuts.

Then I remember that I am. [img]wink.gif[/img]

The formidable Will Kennedy addresses this phenom in his segment on the MDF WkEnd '98 Sat vid...

"Rrrroll your R's" from hi-to-lo pitch & alternate between increasing & decreasing the volume [dynamics] for those Boomer/TBoz down-the-toms fills...& back up again...[same for those 80s metal-gtr shredfest scales/arpeggios, except use "L's"]... ;cp

He's a "Tobacco Drummer"...yeah, that's right; "ta-Bacca-da-bacca-da-bacca-da-bacca" [fastly] [triplets] [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img]

"Ba-DUM - Tsshh!"

And let's not forget Steve's "Gadd lick" - "stuckada-dum-spa stuckada-dum-spa stuckada-dum, stuckada-dum-spa stuckada-dum-spa stuckada-dum" ...

we have our own UK versions....

'is it a cheque? is it a cheque? CASH!!!'

Big rock ballad fill: (1, 2) 'flats in Dagenham'!!

Pop intro fill: (1,2,3) 'hot popadom'

...and what about Jeff Porcaro's trademark hi-hat fill: 'badakiss badakiss, badakiss kiss kiss?!!

[img]wink.gif[/img]

Hey Dazz'

I like the "badakiss"'s thing !!!
I think that Jeff used this one because his love for Purdie...

Peace.

Not to be a "Jazz Nazi" regarding the official "language" of Jazz, but I think Steve actually pronounced it as

""Ge dat schadt schdack O be O gosh bAAAAAA!!!".

I looked it up in the official "Jazz Language" dictionary...... yup!!! Or maybe that was the part around 4:08?? [img]wink.gif[/img]

Aren't outakes the greatest!!??

I totally agree!! Steve's playing and drums sound is just SUUWWWEEETTTT!!!

Just watched the new greg Bissonett DVD and it is GREAT!!! Lot's of those kinda outakes!! You gotta see him do his Rodney (RIP) impersonation and his Vaudvillian "schtick".

"Bucket-O-Fish.....BAAAA!!!" "Fruit-O-The-loom......BAAAA!!!"

Time to go "chop some wood". [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Out of curiousity, which of the many vid-clips is this referring to?

G.A.M.

I'm referring to Omnidrums 1st post on this thread. The "link" that Steve posted in an earlier thread regarding his new DVD with Altered.

I think it's titled "Altered in the studio (with Video)"

Can anyone guess this one?

"Burdadagack gack goh!"

It's a short intro fill with just drums.

From the the Bissonette DVD comes:
PatBoone DebbieBoone (and Agnes Morehead)

CAREful, Clint...that 1st homegrown one of yours can also be perilously confused w LU's trip/sext/proTOOL DB beat/fill from "One"...
[img]tongue.gif[/img]

Howzabout this one:
"Brackeda-tageda-tat, budalaDUMP-budalaDUMP-budalaDUMP-eduh Bsszhhh..."

[hint: it's the opening fill leading into a 4/4-sext-or-triplet feel intro section of a rock song from the early 80s...the one-&-a-half bar fill itself comprised of 6 quarters, staring on the 3 of the 1/4-note count in...or on the 1 after a 6 quarters ct-in, if you wish...confusing?! Naahh...]

Who made "hugad hugada hugada" famous?

I always thought it was "bucket'o shit"? Well, when I do it anyway.

DugaChakaDuDun-digidudun. <= Intro fill to City Nights on Holdsworths' Secrets.

How about 'CHABA-ABA-OMG-YAKY-YAKY-BANG-OOF'

Actually, that was the sound of me once falling into my drumkit when I was drunk.
