- In Episode 22 we check out living legend Brian Blade and his use of triplet fills. When Brian plays these ideas they are dynamic, musical, and exciting. While they are technically fairly simply, playing them with consistent subdivision and musical shape is a challenge. Brian Blade!!
If you enjoy these free drum lessons, please shoot me an email and tell me what other topics on drumming and jazz drumming you'd like to see covered. Also private online lessons are available from me (not Brian :-). Thanks! Chris Smith
Love how many times you repeat the examples and the overall eloquent approach
My favourite drummer in the world of all time!!!
Brian is like watching Houdini, but it's all right in front of you and you still can't comprehend all his talent.
Wasn't gonna like until I heard your chops, great application and feel :)
what a talent you are man. as both musician and educator. bravo.
The second fill Brian played over a 3-feeling as you played it over a 4-feeling, and in the end it was cool to see the fill in both contexts actually! Thank you!
Thanks for taking note, and you are correct!
loved the style of the video, feels like practicing whit you
Very cool, thanks for sharing. Brian is one of my favorite drummers, and this is a great breakdown.
Blade is one of those guys who has HIS SOUND, looks like he shouldn't be pulling off what he does but ALWAYS pulls his fills and tasty comping off.
Mr. Blade is a Leo. His spirit is that of fire and it shows in his playing yet his demeanor off stage appears to confidently cool.... I've followed his work since I realized he was from Shreveport, La. My hometown is about an hour away in Mississippi. He inspires me beyond words as a drummer.... UNTOUCHABLE is He. Magnificent Video pal!!
Dude, you are amazing as well!!!
Great piece! Brian is fabulous, and you really get what all he brings to the music.
Thanks for this. I've been learning Jazz Crime's solo for about a year, and still struggle with these triplet fills. This will help tremendously! Cheers
Fantastic - I love every one of your Hangs. You've got me working on and listening to Billy Higgins a ton, and your Rub-A-Dub posts I've really incorporated into my big band drumming. I've listened to Mel for decades but your book gave my a totally new perspective on what I'm hearing. This one is one is so great - thank you Chris.
This has got to be the best jazz drum education channel on CZcams. By the way, my profile picture is Brian Blade’s set-up when I loaned him my drum kit for a gig. I was really surprised how LOW he sits at the drum set.
That's Ira! Make sure to check out www.jazzdrumhang.com for much much more!
what an excellent lesson. thank you for your wonderful work!
Outstanding job Chris, this was fun!
Hi Chris. Great video. Just a little observation. At 10:14 in you vid, Brian Blade is actually playing: hi-hat foot, snare, high tom, 2x floor tom, bass, floor tom, high tom, crash. What a phrase!
Good stuff Chris!
Thanks for always posting fabulous videos. You're a great musician with lots of knowledge, and insight! I read your book on the great Mel Lewis, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Please keep the great info coming as it is deeply appreciated. Thanks!!!
Awesome episode Chris!!!!! Thanks for shearing all this with us! 🙏
Great stuff as always, Chris. Thanks for breaking it down for us.
Bernard Purdie also does that with rack toms, so he mounts his smaller tom to the right before the floor tom. He describes why he does this on one of his videos.
Brian Blade is fantastic! keep making those great content !! Thank you👏👏👏👏
Thank you Everton!
What an incredible drummer, he should go far.
Thx a lot for this superb video!!! 👌
Fantastic Chris, thanks and thanks for doing this!
Just want to say this is amazing content! You explained WHY his triplet phrasing and expression is powerful and illustrated it. You've got a new subscriber :)
ML, thanks so much man! New videos coming soon. Spread the word.
Nice video!
Yeah Chris!! 🥁🥁🔥🔥
this is awesome man!
2:40 the lick
Heavy with the lick!
Here is the thing: I don't see Brian Blade as a "lick" player at all; it all seems to effortlessly flow out of him organically because of his year's of practice but more importantly, the spirit of joy and flow and zone he is in when he plays. :)
@@kevin2themystic Not talking about Brian. Check this out: czcams.com/video/krDxhnaKD7Q/video.html
Jesus, the rationalization of bullshit..
Great Chris! Thanks!
Great man! It is a real mix between Elvin Mitch and Bonzo. You play it well. I love your snare. Is it a Ludwig copper?
awesome!
nice video man! thanks for the info! i will check, for sure!
Good video. Informative. Brian's spirit is the other secret to his playing. He's always got that "amen corner" ebullience in his playing. The black church influence.
Bill excellent point. We are all a result of our experiences and that is very apparent in Brian's playing and feel. Soul and Spirit - Strong!
Your version is more difficult for me because and correct me if necessary _ the triplet is in groups of two i. e the rr ll... I won't be hurt if you correct me and perhaps others don't agree. Great stuff as always.
Drew, thanks for the feedback. You know my version might be more difficult for you and others, it might only be comfortable for me...we'll find out! Everybody is different and things lay different for everyone. When I play my triplet phrase I feel it like a 10 stroke roll, starts on the right cymbal and ends on the left. I can get those doubles to fly pretty fast and there is no bass drum involved as a separate voice (it's just doubling a hand note) so for me it's easier for now. To be honest I transcribed and worked out the Blade stuff yesterday for the video, so as WE all work on the stuff together maybe I will become more comfortable with the Blade licks and mine will become the slowest also :-) That would serve me right :-) Let me know how it progresses for you! Thanks for the message, and it's always okay to disagree here!
thanks, great video
He does that Elvin thing when the crash comes slightly after the bd 5.10
Very good again! But were is the presentation of the record of the week?
Luis, Good catch!!! I didn't realize that I forgot to add that clip into the overall video. Oh man. It was Joshua Redman Moodswing and I mentioned how much I listened to Brian on those Joshua Redman and Kenny Garrett albums from the 90s. Love Brian's drumming, especially the 90s stuff!
Awesome thank u
great vid, new sub
Blazing Blade
Nice focus on a technique.
Thanks Jay!
awesome vid dude!
Thanks Steven
ありがとう！！
I spot an Ed soph student a mile away
I never studied with Ed :-) went to Northern Illinois instead of North Texas. But I am an Ed fan.
thanks!
Brian finishes that phrase on the 1st beat not one the 4 and
Yeah you're right. Let's hear you play.
Man, does your snare sound absolutely incredible! How many strands do you have on the wires?
SIgge, it's a pure sound 20 stand wire. Nothing special.
Did you go to UNC???
I think he has played drums before
Ha, yup I think!
Where’s that first Brian blade clip from?
look up " wayne shorter quartet - aung san suu kyi " Wayne plays the Bird lick around 9:27
Uooooooooooowwwwwwww
What's the right side ride?? Thanks
It's a 20" Paiste Dark Ride!
The one that looks like a Traditional? thanks
