Love Erskine’s tuning! He’s got the bass drum sounding like a hidden tom - he plays it with that smooth foot of his and you’re like ‘WTF... that guys got 3 hands!’ When he does those triplet rolls with the kick, it sounds almost impossible. He’s a legend, just gets cooler as he gets older. Thanks for breaking this down, appreciated.

yeah, i always thought his drums sounded difficult to play. like the way he has them tuned, you really have to be precise with your note placement cause you can hear every mistake.

Efskine is probably one of the most sophisticated and deep drummers ever lived. He always serves the music in such elegant and/or powerful way without showing off licks. He is a music master.

The drums have been my joy instrument since I was nine. I’m a professional trumpet player but I’ve been a diehard buddy retired since the 70s and Peter is way high on my short list of other drummers who really impacted me. Peter did his homework and helped bring a lot of the techniques of the swing drummers into The modern vocabulary. What you shared here is something he taught me Through listening very long time ago. But. Hey, I’m old.. sorta.

I was once at a jam nite at a club on Rt. 51 near Pittsburg back in the late 80s. As I sat in the audience getting ready to get onstage and jam.... I noticed the Peter Erskine was sitting a few tables away. U fortunately...... He went up before I did and I didn't get a chance to play with him......Another one of my brushes with greatness.....A night I'll never forget

Wow! I still have that video on VHS! "Everything Is Timekeeping" I remember my high school band director playing this video for some of the drummers. My band director also had other cool DCI videos from Steve Gadd and Jaco Pastorious which had Kenwood Dennard on drums and John Scofield, I think, on guitar. He played the Jaco tape for us shortly after he died. I couldn't really appreciate that Jaco video, at least not at that time. I was 14. A few years later however, I bought Heavy Weather, and I've been a big fan ever since. Thanks for posting!!!

Helpful tip for the doubles concept on lower or looser tuned toms. Work hard and slow on doing doubles on the floor tom over and over and over. CLEAN. You will NEED to learn the push and pull method to pump them out like nothing on the kit, especially toms. I can do it easily now but it took many weeks of practicing it slow first. You have to really force those two hits and let the stick come up and do it's job from the natural rebound then just grasp the 2nd hit with your fingers. Great video man, great teacher as well.
@apeanuts
7 жыл бұрын
It also helps if you practice accenting the second note of the double stroke. It eliminates the possibility to use the rebound completely and forces you to really play the notes with your fingers and wrists! I found it super helpful.

Definitely. Years, or decades, ago I practiced my double-stroke rolls on a pillow. A big fat floppy pillow. If you can play 5-stroke rolls, 9-stroke rolls, or one long double-stroke (open) roll on a pillow, then playing a roll on a loose drumhead should be no problem. That was a good way for me to learn how to let my fingers do the work. It made my hands that much stronger and it paid off a few years later when I was playing in a college percussion ensemble and I had to play an open roll on a concert bass drum using two soft bass drum mallets. Whew!

Like some of the other comments, I enjoyed the "Mmmmm" when you played the examples from Erskine. The pleasure conveyed in watching the master hit those fills was awesome! And I really like how you break down into simplicity something that could be quite complicated, even noting how the tuning of the kit affects the execution. That's an important idea that most of us might not get at first glance.

I LOVE the sound of your cymbals, they're as good as "Istanbul-Mehmet's". I wonder who's really making them. Knowing that all of today's Turkish cymbal makers are apprentices of Mr Tamdeger makes it even more miracoulous.

I want to add that the little section where you talk about doubling up when you are playing the simple hand to hand triplets is also a great way to learn, and improve, your double stroke roll. It makes practicing the double stroke roll much more fun and interesting. I have a video on it here on YT. If you type in "daniel casher" and then look for the video drum lesson on the double stroke roll, you can see the whole lesson.

Hi Austin A bit of backgound to provide some context. I have a degree in percussion from Indiana University. In fact, studied with Peter when he was there - in between his Stan Kenton and Maynard gigs. I was never great at playing the "set", more classically trained here. I have been out of the music business for 30+ years and am focused for the next few years on getting my chops together - and start gigin' again. Man, how percussion has changed! I need to purchase a practice kit - one that is similar to a real kit (thinking of the electronic type of kit) May I ask your recommendation as to what to purchase. I might use the electronic kit one some gigs, but will of course purchase a regular kit when I get my stuff together. Many Thanks. Gary
