Metric Modulation for the Drum Set

Here is a long requested video on Metric Modulation which is a rhythmic device that is used to make a smooth transition from one tempo to another.
Metric modulation takes a note value from a primary tempo and transitions that note value into a new tempo . This could be poly-rhythmic note values like 1/4 note triplets or even dotted notes from the original tempo. You can do cycles of many modulations in a row and eventually come back to the original tempo. I cover several types of basic modulations in this video and show you how to apply them on the drum set.
The equipment I am using for this series consists of:
Doc Sweeney Stave Drums in African Olivewood
20"x 16" Bass Drum
Toms: 8"x 8", 10"x 8", 14"x 14 flloor tom"
14"x 6.5" Snare Drum
Cymbals are:
Sabian Jack DeJohnette 20" Ride
Wuhan 20" Lion Cymbal
Paiste Traditional 16" and 17" thin crashes
Sabian HH 13" Regular Hi-Hats
Sabian 12" AA Mini Hats
Heads on toms are Remo Pinstripes on toms
Bass drum is an Aquarian Power stroke 1 head.
Snare is a Aquarian coated head
Microphones are a AKG C24 stereo overhead and an Shure Beta 52 on the Bass drum
