it's important to take the time and listen to dilla try and actually play what you hear, it's harder than it sounds. Listen to the mix and how the snare and the hats sounds in unison for the texture instead of breaking them up. Also having an understanding of "independence" or what we know as "interdependence" in order to really fill out the textures (flying lotus/madlib).
Great lesson! Let's get some more on these. Building a ladder & Molasses are such dope tracks! His drumming & that band are so dope. Another good mention with Dilla is the classic Pharcyde production.
LA’s 2 Dilla feel lesson and his hip hop shuffle aka “all about the Benjamin’s beat” technique were amazing. He broke that down so you could understand what was going on perfectly straight/swung feel “Strung” as LA called it. I found your video on this be very helpful as well. You went deeper into the concepts and I very much enjoyed your take on it. I love the move how you sneak your left hand up to the hi hat for the groove in beginning of video. It’s take me awhile to master it and get it down to where it sounds good
I don't want to distract from this great tutorial, but I want to point out that, like Nate, and other drummers I've watched over the years, I do that same "repeatedly reach over and toy with your hi-hat wing nut" thing while talking from behind the kit. At practice, if I'm talking to the fellas in between runs, I reach over and fondle that wing nut. I don't even adjust it, just caress and release. I think it's the physical equivalent of the verbal crutch, but I'm neither a doctor nor speech pathologist. Finally, Nate's tutorials have helped me improve my drumming. Thank you!
Hey good day drummer!! I want to know the name of the song that you play at the beginning, also I would like to listen and watch you play the whole song, Can you? Please.
dodgy eyes while talking, but when he's drumming, that unflinching straight-into-camera stare! it's kinda awesome; only comfortable when you're doing what you love.
Good job with the brief history - I was going to say that they all kinda came out of Chris Dave. Thanks for dropping the names cause I will go check them out - Hiatus is interesting. Very Euro sounding combined with Neo Soul. The label for their web site is hilarious.
Dude, I can't believe I just saw this. You used a photo from my recently sold rehearsal studio "Soundhouse" in Vancouver Canada for your thumbnail. LOL.. The internet is weird. It's changed quite a bit now and I don't really mind, just pointing that out. Where in the world are you located?
that would have been my former assistant, Sean, who's now - and I'm not making this up - an investor. I assume he was just image searching cool looking backgrounds ;) I'm in NYC btw.
1. Install Reason. 2. Create a standard 4:4 beat in Redrum. 3. Turn the Shuffle knob in small increments to experience varying degrees of shuffle. 4. Automate this knob to vary based on a curve, over time. 5. Duh.
@@UNOwen-nr1pg Uh yep. I think my point was that people who make beats are not uncomfortable with the topic of moving the beat around within a bar. You can create examples of these kinds of beats using a drum sequencer, so anyone who makes beats is very aware of these kinds of feels. However, they do humanize them by unlocking the grid and moving notes by hand. But if you're a musical luddite who has avoided learning anything about MIDI, you might think that "it's all just quantized." That is totally true of a lot of pop music, but not the best hip hop beats (which is the topic here). Bottom line: Learn about making beats, and you will be able to play said beats on the drums.
Disregarding the o.k. of vocal volume at times this a Sick video.. Fuck yeh. I've got my work cut out, but it'll be fun. Cheers, Nate, you're a master. Peace and Funk
Displacements are usually related to moving notes by a straight value. For instance, instead of doing the snare on 2 and 4, you may displace the 4 to the upbeat (&) of 4.
Love your videos but I’m honestly not worthy ... you speak in English but I really have no idea what your talking about ... I realize this is my shortcoming because of my lack understanding rhythm vocabulary... but still love your stuff ... hopeful over time it might sound less like adults talking in a Charlie Brown cartoon )
John Reder : sadly, he also said "he was famous in the 90s and early 2000s".... Apparently this dude doesnt know how legendary Dilla was and will forever be(rip)... Not to mention, infamous... Still, i gotta give dude some credit for recognizing(be it, seemingly not much) Dillas talent and mark left in the musical universe...
I realize dilla beats take skill and practice, and they're all the rage... but listening to it makes me physically uncomfortable. I don't get why a drummer would intentionally play in such a (in my opinion) disruptive way.
It was worth losing my ability to hear above 8k.
This guy hahaha
See? That's what I'm goddamn talking about ;)
Perrin's best beat is in the bridge or turnaround in "The World It Softly Lulls". Feels like a broken drum machine in the best way.
Thank you for bleeding ears.
You got it

one does not simply watch this without adding a sample in your head
You drop this little aside about "Drawing with the right side of the brain." This is an incredible book. Stravinsky upside down!

Could you not scream unnecessarily?
watching this video at 2 am was a bad idea... thanks for waking up my baby
Will you forgive me if I send you a pair of earbuds for Christmas?
I feel like you’re the type person who immediately went to 0:20 just to see what he meant by the title.

I just love your lessons! Your tangents are always interesting and easy to follow. Seriously one of the better drum resource on youtube.
Hey good day drummer!! I want to know the name of the song that you play at the beginning, also I would like to listen and watch you play the whole song, Can you? Please.
Nate PLLLEASE
This is gold.
dodgy eyes, making me nervous! jesus.
he's hiding something!
A body under his house
I dont like this guy because of this. touching my nerve....Great work on so many “how to play like..” series though.
lol

Its funny hearing that MEAT AND POTATOES beat in the background at 8:50 in contrast to your subtle playing examples. lol

Cool, Thanks for the quick reply! @@8020drummer
Amazing lesson, thank you !
A lesson on the movements of all the limbs from a martial arts or ballet viewpoint. Your videos always interesting.
Thank You. I like anybody..who likes Jay Dee aka J Dilla
I can do all of these except the one at 9:45. Any tips?
1. Install Reason.
2. Create a standard 4:4 beat in Redrum.
3. Turn the Shuffle knob in small increments to experience varying degrees of shuffle.
4. Automate this knob to vary based on a curve, over time.
5. Duh.

Another amazing lesson Nate! I would love a lesson on Tyshawn Sorey, still also gonna bug you about that Morgan Agren vid ;)
man that intro is better then Pennywise jumpscares
hello. what hi hats (top and bottom) are you using and sizes? cheers
Huge fan, thanks for the lesson Nate!
Daaaamn... The start of this lesson gave me such a fright!
So how would one note this, like in triplets or something, trying to understand it so I'll know where i can place snare and bassdrum notes.
TheZooNinjaS just not
This is awesome. I love how much he loves the same music I do for the same reasons
Thanks for the vid m8 it gave me a way better idea of how to pull off these beats
where is the link for the hiatus live recording-song....
I don't know - would you like a pony too? Damn. ;)
Here: czcams.com/video/yRHUXhp0JbY/video.html
ahh my pony....
arrived
Can you please list the tunes referenced?
Depends - can u help me out of a legal jam? Jk;)
Hey, pls your HH is 16" or 18" ? THX .. good drumming
very cool, well described
thanx for the lesson
fucking love hiatus!
is this an example of a basic "displacement"? sorry I'm new to these concepts
Displacements are usually related to moving notes by a straight value.
For instance, instead of doing the snare on 2 and 4, you may displace the 4 to the upbeat (&) of 4.
Thanks Nate
just what I needed. so helpful--thank you.
btw, bleeding ears? people: it's okay to turn down!!!
Neva knew sheldon Cooper played drums ..nice
at 6:24 you missed the hihat and your sticks collided
Awesome video!!!
Hey man, what hi-hat are you using?
Take a look at the "The Question I get asked the most" video! ;)
The 80/20 Drummer or you coulda just answered
Thank you, man!
Any music on this one?
Whomever is his dealer, I want that phone number.
Ty for this
The first and fourth beat of quintuplets. Like if you play rllrl in quintuplets and accent the right.
@6:50
Your'e awesome brother. thanks for that 8)
It'd be comedy to have the other drummer that's always in the background help you on a lesson.
czcams.com/video/-m916JAK9_E/video.html
Don't think I got an email with this one....
:(
cool topicccccccc!! kul lessooooon!
What cymbals do you use?
didnt get that brandon scott thing
He covered Molasses
Sounds like a Chris Dave sound
Sun Dance Do you guys even watch the video or you just ask random questions that he actually addresses in the video?
You made me shit my pants
WHAT IS DILLA?
OH THERE IS EXPLAINATION
Yeeeeaahaah! Thanx
yeaahhh
Saying the skip to 20 seconds if sensitive I thought he was going to say something that sensitive people would find offensive lol
Great stuff but the other person drumming in the background is a bit distracting
I'm not sure you're fully appreciating the Power;)
gg swing
Love your videos but I’m honestly not worthy ... you speak in English but I really have no idea what your talking about ... I realize this is my shortcoming because of my lack understanding rhythm vocabulary... but still love your stuff ... hopeful over time it might sound less like adults talking in a Charlie Brown cartoon )
Jon bellion
8:25 😂
please don t shout like that it saturates the speakers lol
the scream ruined everything on this video. fuck it
WHYYYY would you scream like that during the intro??? Bro.. know your shit...
Great tutorial though... Love the beat.
I am so glad I did not use my earbuds s!!!!!!
screaming annoys af
Did he really say that dilla was rnb broducer?
John Reder : sadly, he also said "he was famous in the 90s and early 2000s"....
Apparently this dude doesnt know how legendary Dilla was and will forever be(rip)...
Not to mention, infamous...
Still, i gotta give dude some credit for recognizing(be it, seemingly not much) Dillas talent and mark left in the musical universe...
bernard wallace I wouldn’t say infamous tho
Bilal, D'Angelo, Lucy Pearl, Janet Jackson, Erykah Badu...
dumbythewise yes there is handful of rnb artists he had work with. That doesn’t make him rnb producer
That's why the guy said hip hop and r&b producer
I realize dilla beats take skill and practice, and they're all the rage... but listening to it makes me physically uncomfortable. I don't get why a drummer would intentionally play in such a (in my opinion) disruptive way.
Dude, your lack of eye contact is so distracting.
Lol. Yea
