    John Riley talks about a concept called headroom. That is exactly what this is about. If you have the ability to play anything that comes into your head everything becomes very easy. These are just exercises that free your limbs to play whatever you choose. It may sound like rubbish to some but this is some badass shit. Dafnis is truly a master of rhythm.

      His independence is off the charts ,I am a beginner of sorts ,I have not touched a drum set in 30 years ,I played hard from 18-20 years old then stopped ,all these years later I realized that I have zero independence ,my hands are still quite skilled and coordinated but , when I try to get all 4 limbs going in different directions ,I fail miserably ,I will get this if it takes forever ! Watching skilled guys like Dafnis will definitely help ,I had no teachers when I was younger ,now the whole world of drumming is right in front of me with a push of a button ,thanks to you all ,take care.

    I'll sum this up in one sentence: Watch this from the beginning to 4:40 and see some of the greatest creative improvisation and independence of four limbs and time signature ever seen in the percussion world. Truly an absolute legend...

    I love how he ended his final solo with the same kind of thing which he used in the very beginning of his opening solo, so the whole lesson feels like one big perfomance, like a story, like something in context - simply beautiful. Brilliant musician without a doubt.

  • @jastrub
    @jastrub Před 9 lety +19

    So important, so informative. Dafnis has revolutionized the way I subdivide time and consider polymetric grooves in a jazz context. Not even a drummer but this is still super helpful as a writer. Seen him 3 times and he always blows me away.

    For some reason I´ve kept coming back to this Drumeo lesson since it´s was put out. Now I think I´ve figured out why, and that is because I feel there is a lot of sincerity in the way Mr. Dafnis plays. He really means it when he talks about conveying a musical attitude while playing theses exercises. In his own way, he´s telling the truth, as the jazz masters would say.

    One of the greatest and most brilliant drummers on the planet. I saw Si O Si live, and saw Dafnis up close, and he is just mind-blowing. His technical prowess (Antonio Sanchez has it too) is perfect, and most Latin drummer have freakish independence. He is also the sweetest, coolest guy you could know. His love for people and all music just glows out of him. His Proverb Trio is totally different from Si O Si. I put his autographed photo on my snare drum to see if just a smidgen of his genius could sink into my arms and brain!

    out of all the drummers drumeo has had, i'd say this was the most enjoyable and impressive, the rhythms are so complex and require so much independence, it was a delight to the ears, I'd like to see Buddy Rich or Vinnie C. tackle this type of playing, Weckl could probably handle it, latin drumming is in a class of its own, just amazing !

  • @MaxSenitt
    @MaxSenitt Před 10 lety +1

I recently saw his proverb Trio play and also bought their album. Amazing!!!!
