"At some point you might want to go the opposite way." That's actually so relieving to hear. It's so easy to fall into "must check off practice list" mode, so thanks man for encouraging us in another direction!
Another great lesson Nate! Thanks so much for all the content, always very informational. Been here awhile now learning from you, a great privilege. Keep it up, glad to stick a long for the ride, and watch your channel grow.
agh... stumbled upon you at just the right time.....you're speaking religious truth to me....how to practice, get out of the doldrums...how to improve at a faster rate......
Hey. In your video you talk about a lot of drummers, and it seems they are great influences to you and also that you take a lot of what you learn just by listening to them and feeling their vibe. Is there any way you could reply me with a list of, give or take, 7 of those influences? It would be great, i really want to hear some underground "jazzy" sick drum players and learn also by listening. Thanks for your videos, greetings from Chile.
Hemeola sounds like a terrible blood disease. It will not get out of my head because I've got a visual image of it now and it ain't pretty. .. This is still one of your crucial jazz teachings. I'm really learning a lot from you. Thanks! I have a nickname for you but I'll just use the initials. Ciao SxyD.
+Jean Antoine Hey dude it's an original track from my friend Teriver over at TeriverCheung.com . I'd recommend hitting him up to see if he still has it, and if he's cool with you using it, if maybe he wants you to kick him $25 for the rights, etc:)
The phrase that "I know it backwards, forwards, inside and out". Think this through. Four Bars forward, same four bars backwards, four bars starting inside to out, four bars starting outside and in. One Two Three Four, Four Three Two One. Two One Three Four, Four Three One Two. Your Head May Explode.
Just a question, when you play a jazz groove, and you combine grips, is that because using modern grip with both hands would be equivalent to eating Asian noodles with a fork instead of chopsticks, meaning doable but it would look wrong?
A Hemiola is, in fact, groupings of 2 in triple time, ie, crotchets in 6/8 or minims in 3/4. You can't have a hemiola in 4/4. Not that your point isn't valid, it's great, but you shouldn't call it that 😜
I'm not a very good drummer. But it seems this video is trying to teach people to be creative. I always feel the urge to try something new with everything I start to learn and that's really a problem for me, because I don't get the basics right because I'm bored of them so fast...
What I'm trying to say is, that I'm more impressed by your quality of playing than the ideas you have. I never count while I play. I'll probably never be this good -_-
Thank you for saying that. I think having the rudiments is the most important thing to make your creativity a real thing (sorry not a native speaker here) I personally lack the rudiments a lot, but I've only played for about 16 months now, so I got time to learn that. I just started playing swing and bossanova stuff and recently I learned a decent press roll and double stroke roll. I'm glad these youtube guides exist, because I can't afford that much teaching :) and stuff like this really helps me out.
Cazaq "Cotton balls at a tom" would've been funnier. Always down for a little well-intentioned "ball" breaking, in the tradition of Louis CK and Patrice O'Neil;)
Check out Elvin Jones' kick drum or any other jazz drummer's kick. They're supposed to have that low tom tone. It's a good voicing for bop drumming, but not so much for Big Band.

I thought a hemiola was basically a word for a 3:2 polyrhytmic phrase... Like for example when you play 3 half note triplets over a bar of 4/4, that would be a hemiola. No? I guess it could sound close to what is described in the video, but mathematicaly it is not the same as, say, groups of 6, 6 and 4 sixteenth notes over a 4/4 bar. I should say that other than that, I enjoyed the video :)
No. He's wrong on this one. Any source will tell you the same. It's an honest mistake. What he's talking about here are groupings, not a hemiola. www.educationscotland.gov.uk/nqmusic/advancedhigher/hemiola.asp
I never heard the term before so I searched for it and it actually seems to mean a shift from a 4/4 to a 3/4 signature in a polyrhythmic manner like you are saying. My first language is Italian and I always heard the term "DUINA" to define such a thing but I noticed that wikipedia doesn't even have an English version of the article explaining it so I can tell you the French for it "DUOLET" or the Spanish "DOSILLO" but I'm not quite sure how an English speaker would define it. I also now noticed that the German article to which wikipedia redirects you ( from Italian duina) is more generically about note values and in the part that the word "DUOLE" appears it is in comparison to the term hemiole. (but I can't really read German)
"At some point you might want to go the opposite way." That's actually so relieving to hear. It's so easy to fall into "must check off practice list" mode, so thanks man for encouraging us in another direction!
Love how he opens up a jazz lesson with a FAT hip hop groove.
LOVE everything you're doing! Great info and insight as well - nice job of getting our creative sides in gear!!
When you play, your eyes reflect a sense of naughtiness and childish joy when playing. Haha... love it. Great video. Subbed today as well.
Another great lesson Nate! Thanks so much for all the content, always very informational. Been here awhile now learning from you, a great privilege. Keep it up, glad to stick a long for the ride, and watch your channel grow.
Beautiful: creativity, technique, vocabulary building, where to find memes to work on, all while practicing. I love it.
fantastic lesson. This is hugely helpful.
Fantastic as always.
Amazing! thanks for the lesson. The original phrase is like the tip of the icerberg, but there's an entire new world if you can look under the sea
Has anyone else noticed the continually changing motifs on his left bicep? Intriguing.
Thank you for posting!
DUUUUUUUUUDE Thank you sooooooooo much. I need it to really understand the Hemiola Concept
awesome instruction; love your class.....other than the oddness of never seeing you blink lol, i enjoyed it.
12:15 on is SO classic and a really cool man. Tank you!
Great Lesson! Will help my students greatly at American One Productions in NJ. Thanks for sharing... Troy
That was really good, gave a lot of ideas for practising.
:)
Al Hemiola? He one of my favorite guitarists!
Awesome video.
I do paradiddle-diddles on the ride and and snare in double time on the snare while keeping the Hihat and kick in time with the bass
Thanks for sharing.
Cool love it
Such fucking awesome lessons!
Smooth as Hell !!!!
Please don't call them 'hacks'. Call them 'tips'. They're not hacks, they're genuinely good pieces of instruction
synonyms
They mean the same thing, but the term “hacks” is just a more trendy way of saying it.
Godwhacker but clickbait tho
Exactly - - hate that Hacks word.
Only hacks call them hacks 😂 jk
Thanks!
You're the man. If you're ever down in Australia, I wanna tee up a shed with you
:)
Your bass drum sounds like a double bass :) Thank you for the lesson!
agh... stumbled upon you at just the right time.....you're speaking religious truth to me....how to practice, get out of the doldrums...how to improve at a faster rate......
You fucking rule. Great lesson, been using a lot of your ideas, not only in jazz, they seem to fit any style! Thank you, for real.
Very enjoyable! What is the great sounding ride you're playing?

I didn't know Sheldon from Big Bang Theory drummed so well

Intro Song?
what sticks are you using?
chords on the intro ??
the lick is a Jimmy Cobb thing and adding the diddle is a Joe Morello thing..
I ordered the 80/20 and says 0 downloads available. Also didn’t get the email to subscribe.
What is that ride?
I love jazz drumming, though I used to use my hi-hats more...
Not exactly related to the lesson, sorry to hijack, but wich ride is this? (As I`m a cymbalholic I hope you understand and indulge me...) All the best
Hey man, is the theme song you're using for all your videos on youtube? If so, would you be so kind as to link me up bro?
+Jean Antoine Hey dude it's an original track from my friend Teriver over at TeriverCheung.com . I'd recommend hitting him up to see if he still has it, and if he's cool with you using it, if maybe he wants you to kick him $25 for the rights, etc:)

I get some Madlib drumming vibess
What was the song at the beginning he played along to?
Sheldon Lee!
Who were the drummers you mentioned?
I swear that John Medeski has played that piano.
Whoooooa deep cut. My big band director/composition teacher in undergrad was besties with John, Chris Wood, and Bob Moses. Love those guys (and Billy)
What sticks are those? I feel like I'm using those same ones now but I cant make out what stick it is. I use Vater super jazz
Yup. I also use New Orleans Jazz for the big kit. They're essentially the hickory version:)
+The 80/20 Drummer Love those sticks
Just a question, when you play a jazz groove, and you combine grips, is that because using modern grip with both hands would be equivalent to eating Asian noodles with a fork instead of chopsticks, meaning doable but it would look wrong?
not necessarily. But trad feels different, and it's worth experimenting with so you can feel the kit the same way the jazz greats did
Thanks for the fun lessons, sir. Please stop saying "hack", if you would. :-)
A Hemiola is, in fact, groupings of 2 in triple time, ie, crotchets in 6/8 or minims in 3/4. You can't have a hemiola in 4/4. Not that your point isn't valid, it's great, but you shouldn't call it that 😜
15:01 LOL dude get off my head :)
Do you know the weight of that Istanbul ride??
Depends how many hours it's been on my back;)
Giuliana. ...more...
bananaknee! :)
You're actually playing ruff in four hack.

+Jonathan Graber I think that's a valid critique. I've got miles of room for improvement in breaking down concepts for people!
Thank you for saying that.

A what phrase??
Old Man from Scene Twenty Four Homogenized
Love the ideas but man, do something about that kick.
It sounds like you're throwing ghost notes at a tom.
Cazaq "Cotton balls at a tom" would've been funnier.
Always down for a little well-intentioned "ball" breaking, in the tradition of Louis CK and Patrice O'Neil;)
Just mentioning Patrice would usually earn you some extra points but that kick sound....
Jokes aside, thanks for taking the time to do these videos.
+The 80/20 Drummer Oh I like the bass drum, very old school. love it. :)
+Cazaq Well, the kick drum is supposed to be quiet in Jazz drumming.
Check out Elvin Jones' kick drum or any other jazz drummer's kick. They're supposed to have that low tom tone. It's a good voicing for bop drumming, but not so much for Big Band.
All his videos are link gimmicks. He’s obsessed with the hemiola thing.
