Now this isn't one of the three things I'm going to show you today

but it is something I'm practicing a lot right now which is basically just sitting down on the kit and improvising

because I've got the Meinl drum festival coming up in about three weeks

and a big part of festivals and drum clinics in general is improvising.

And it's not always that you set out to do a solo,

it's just that maybe there's a Q&A that says hey that thing that you always do with your left foot,

what is that?

And it's like, oh, it's,

you know, I just kind of add in a chick and then all of a sudden you're just going...

So you have to have your improv chops ready for those moments.

Now let's get into this lesson,

three things that I practice every day.

The first thing I do when I sit down on any kit,

especially because I've got a kit at home with some practice pads on it.

Then I've got my private lesson room that has a kit that I play on a lot.

They're all the same size,

but they're slightly different angles.

And then I've got this kit.

The first thing I do is I try to get acquainted with the drum set and especially the pedal tension.

And the reason I say pedal tension is because I've never adjusted any of my pedals.

However DW sends them, I take them out of the box.

I put, I mean, unless they were extremely loose or extremely tight,

I've never adjusted any of them.

I put them on the kit and I just allow my foot to get used to them.

So this exercise is really simple.

Sixteenth notes around the drum set.

Let's assume we're dealing with a four piece kit here.

We've got one E and a,

two E and a, three E and a, four E and a.

The orchestration isn't that important but I'm trying to get used to the position of the drums,

try to eliminate rim hits and things like that.

But on 3E and a 4E

and a I put a bass drum between every note so it essentially becomes thirty second notes.

So we have 1E and a 2E and a 3E

and a 3E and a 4E and a 4E and a 1E

and a 2E and a Let's give it a shot with a click.

Link in the description.

Whoa!

Singles between hand and foot,

it's honestly something that's been frustrating me since I was a kid.

I can never get it clean enough.

I can never get it quite to

that Vinnie Cagliotta level on the Buddy Rich Memorial Scholarship concert where he does it

while he's pushing up his glasses looking at Dave.

It's the best.

It's just the best moment ever and I always think like,

oh, I'll do that and then I go,

yeah, I'm not going to do that.

So you might be asking though,

why not just do just singles?

And I definitely do that quite a bit for endurance,

but the thing with that is you're getting used to this rhythm.

You're just staying there the whole time and your foot kind of adapts to that.

What I like about this exercise is that your foot is stagnant and it has to jump in and be on time.

So that not being used,

then being used, not being used,

I think that's much more practical.

Because if you think about a groove like this.

Those three hits, that's what we're doing here.

So having that, if you're good at playing singles in between your hands,

you're going to be good at doing it like this.

In a groove.

Not that you would ever have to do this for very long.

At least I hope you don't.

But that's what this exercise is all about

and like I said it gets me acquainted with the position of the drums as well as the tension of the pedal.

Moving on to number two.

So every day I pick a new groove environment to improvise inside of and to explore.

Obviously in this instance it's the Gadsden Groove,

single handed 16th note groove.

And I just sit in that pocket,

I sit in that tempo,

in that feel and start exploring things.

Doing some 30 second notes.

Is that too busy?

Probably.

Ooh, could I interject some triplet stuff going on here?

And can I mess around with little hints of different subdivisions other than the straight 16th notes on the hi-hat?

Also, I'm trying to find how far can I explore this thing without losing the actual groove itself.

Naturally, sometimes I go too far,

then I have to rein it back in,

and sometimes I think I'm being a little too safe,

and I need to explore a little bit more.

But the goal here is to pick a groove,

any groove, and just start to explore it a little bit more,

and learn how to feel a little bit more free,

so you're not so trapped inside that groove that groove.

And finally number three this might be a bit torturous for some of you

but trust me you will grow so much from it and it is soloing with a restriction.

So that restriction could be a foot ostinato you could have a oh maybe like a little splash close close.

So you're soloing over this.

Oh I wish I could actually play that instead of just say that.

No way I can play that.

I'm trying.

Woo!

Come on biscuits and buttercups.

Anyways, like I was saying, soloing over a restriction.

So the restriction in this instance,

quarter note challenge, but a little bit different than how I showed it in the Meinl videos a few years ago.

100

In this case, I'm just working on a specific part of the skills that I feel like I'm lacking in.

101

By the way, I got this idea from a solo that Terry Angoli did with Christian McBride.

102

So I did not make this up.

103

I saw him do a solo,

104

and I just thought, that'd be easy.

105

And then I went, yeah, I think we're good.

106

So I had to practice it.

107

Now where I feel like I'm lacking is right hand and bass drum together on the hi-hat against this.

108

So you can think of like what could you do?

109

You can do in between.

110

Maybe some odd groupings.

111

What would fives sound like against this?

112

Cool.

113

Some polyrhythmic stuff.

114

Things like that.

115

So I'm just working on that.

116

It sounds like this.

117

Ah, come on!

118

So as you can tell,

119

I'm still working on it.

120

And that's what I'm trying to tell you is I'm practicing these every day because I don't have them down.

121

If I had it down I would just nail a solo out for you and go like,

122

Yep, still working on it.

123

It's like, are you?

124

Or are you just making yourself feel better by playing things you can already play?

125

I don't have this down yet.

126

I'm trying things.

127

I'm going for them.

128

And I'm physically not able to do that.

129

Those threes?

130

Ah, I want those threes!

131

And they're within reach, right?

132

Like, you know what it's like to have something within reach where you're like,

133

I can think of it and I'm so close to do it,

134

but I just can't.

135

So what's it going to take?

136

Oh yeah, practice.

137

So, YouTubers, I hope you got something out of seeing a little bit of the process,

138

seeing what I'm working on right now,

139

every single day, chipping away at it one note at a time,

140

not getting disgusted with myself,

141

not thinking, oh, I'm the worst drummer ever.

142

It's like, it's just going to take time.

143

I'm going to have to chip away at this stuff,

144

and so will you for whatever it is you're working on.

145

Hope you enjoyed this.

146

Please like, subscribe, all that good stuff.

147

And if you're going to the Meinl Drum Festival,

148

I will see you there.

149

If you're going to the UK Drum Show,

150

I will see you there.

151

I've got my own room this year called the Mike Johnson Education Room.

152

It'll be me, Richard Spaven,

153

Carter McLean, and Matt Griner from August Burns Red.

154

So I'm very excited about that.

155

So hopefully I'll see you there.

156

If not, I will just talk to you in the comments below.

157

Oh yeah, and check the description.

158

Everyone asks about notation and like this metronome, all this stuff.

159

All the information you could ever need is in the description below.

160

But until next time, go practice.

背景與上下文

在這段影片中，講者分享了他每天練習鼓的三件事情。儘管這段講話主要圍繞著鼓技，但是其中的一些概念同樣適用於學習其他技能，比如提高英語口語。講者提到即興演奏的重要性，這使得他在即席問答中能夠自如應對。這一過程不僅需要技巧，還需要適應不同的環境。

日常溝通的五個常用短語

我每天都會練習。
不管環境如何，我都要適應。
這個練習真的很簡單。
我試著避免多餘的音效。
我總是想要達到更高的水平。

逐步跟讀指南

通過“shadowing”技巧，你可以有效地提高英語口語和發音。以下是根據影片內容的逐步指南：

選擇合適的材料：根據你自己的學習目標選擇影片，比如鼓的練習影片。在這個例子中，可以選擇講者的鼓練習，以此獲取發音和語調的示範。
逐句跟讀：聆聽後，嘗試跟隨講者的語音。這種“shadow speech”可以幫助你掌握語調和節奏。在聽的過程中，模仿講者的口氣和情感表達，確保你不僅關注發音，還要關注交流的自然度。
重點短語練習：每天重複練習上述的短語，比如“我每天都會練習”，並嘗試在不同的上下文中運用這些表達。這將對你的雅思口語練習非常有幫助。
錄音與回放：自己錄製跟讀的聲音，回放並與原聲對比。關注你的發音如何與講者的發音相符，以便發現需要改進的地方。
反覆練習：堅持每日練習，隨著時間的推移，你的發音自然會有所提高。將這種shadowing練習變成你日常的一部分，能更快地提升你的英語水平。

通過這些步驟，你不僅能提高英語發音，還能增強整體口語能力。無論你的學習目標是什麼，記得保持練習的頻率，以達到最佳效果。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
條件句 if + 從句，will/would + 動詞 — 條件及其結果	If I had it down I would just · If not, I will just
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	I've never adjusted

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
