1
Now this isn't one of the three things I'm going to show you today
2
but it is something I'm practicing a lot right now which is basically just sitting down on the kit and improvising
3
because I've got the Meinl drum festival coming up in about three weeks
4
and a big part of festivals and drum clinics in general is improvising.
5
And it's not always that you set out to do a solo,
6
it's just that maybe there's a Q&A that says hey that thing that you always do with your left foot,
7
what is that?
8
And it's like, oh, it's,
9
you know, I just kind of add in a chick and then all of a sudden you're just going...
10
So you have to have your improv chops ready for those moments.
11
Now let's get into this lesson,
12
three things that I practice every day.
13
The first thing I do when I sit down on any kit,
14
especially because I've got a kit at home with some practice pads on it.
15
Then I've got my private lesson room that has a kit that I play on a lot.
16
They're all the same size,
17
but they're slightly different angles.
18
And then I've got this kit.
19
The first thing I do is I try to get acquainted with the drum set and especially the pedal tension.
20
And the reason I say pedal tension is because I've never adjusted any of my pedals.
21
However DW sends them, I take them out of the box.
22
I put, I mean, unless they were extremely loose or extremely tight,
23
I've never adjusted any of them.
24
I put them on the kit and I just allow my foot to get used to them.
25
So this exercise is really simple.
26
Sixteenth notes around the drum set.
27
Let's assume we're dealing with a four piece kit here.
28
We've got one E and a,
29
two E and a, three E and a, four E and a.
30
The orchestration isn't that important but I'm trying to get used to the position of the drums,
31
try to eliminate rim hits and things like that.
32
But on 3E and a 4E
33
and a I put a bass drum between every note so it essentially becomes thirty second notes.
34
So we have 1E and a 2E and a 3E
35
and a 3E and a 4E and a 4E and a 1E
36
and a 2E and a Let's give it a shot with a click.
37
Link in the description.
38
Whoa!
39
Singles between hand and foot,
40
it's honestly something that's been frustrating me since I was a kid.
41
I can never get it clean enough.
42
I can never get it quite to
43
that Vinnie Cagliotta level on the Buddy Rich Memorial Scholarship concert where he does it
44
while he's pushing up his glasses looking at Dave.
45
It's the best.
46
It's just the best moment ever and I always think like,
47
oh, I'll do that and then I go,
48
yeah, I'm not going to do that.
49
So you might be asking though,
50
why not just do just singles?
51
And I definitely do that quite a bit for endurance,
52
but the thing with that is you're getting used to this rhythm.
53
You're just staying there the whole time and your foot kind of adapts to that.
54
What I like about this exercise is that your foot is stagnant and it has to jump in and be on time.
55
So that not being used,
56
then being used, not being used,
57
I think that's much more practical.
58
Because if you think about a groove like this.
59
Those three hits, that's what we're doing here.
60
So having that, if you're good at playing singles in between your hands,
61
you're going to be good at doing it like this.
62
In a groove.
63
Not that you would ever have to do this for very long.
64
At least I hope you don't.
65
But that's what this exercise is all about
66
and like I said it gets me acquainted with the position of the drums as well as the tension of the pedal.
67
Moving on to number two.
68
So every day I pick a new groove environment to improvise inside of and to explore.
69
Obviously in this instance it's the Gadsden Groove,
70
single handed 16th note groove.
71
And I just sit in that pocket,
72
I sit in that tempo,
73
in that feel and start exploring things.
74
Doing some 30 second notes.
75
Is that too busy?
76
Probably.
77
Ooh, could I interject some triplet stuff going on here?
78
And can I mess around with little hints of different subdivisions other than the straight 16th notes on the hi-hat?
79
Also, I'm trying to find how far can I explore this thing without losing the actual groove itself.
80
Naturally, sometimes I go too far,
81
then I have to rein it back in,
82
and sometimes I think I'm being a little too safe,
83
and I need to explore a little bit more.
84
But the goal here is to pick a groove,
85
any groove, and just start to explore it a little bit more,
86
and learn how to feel a little bit more free,
87
so you're not so trapped inside that groove that groove.
88
And finally number three this might be a bit torturous for some of you
89
but trust me you will grow so much from it and it is soloing with a restriction.
90
So that restriction could be a foot ostinato you could have a oh maybe like a little splash close close.
91
So you're soloing over this.
92
Oh I wish I could actually play that instead of just say that.
93
No way I can play that.
94
I'm trying.
95
Woo!
96
Come on biscuits and buttercups.
97
Anyways, like I was saying, soloing over a restriction.
98
So the restriction in this instance,
99
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.

日常沟通的五个常用短语
- 我每天都会练习。
- 不管环境如何,我都要适应。
- 这个练习真的很简单。
- 我试着避免多余的音效。
- 我总是想要达到更高的水平。
逐步跟读指南
通过“shadowing”技巧,你可以有效地提高英语口语和发音。以下是根据视频内容的逐步指南:
- 选择合适的材料:根据你自己的学习目标选择视频,比如鼓的练习视频。在这个例子中,可以选择讲者的鼓练习,以此获取发音和语调的示范。
- 逐句跟读:聆听后,尝试跟随讲者的语音。这种“shadow speech”可以帮助你掌握语调和节奏。在听的过程中,模仿讲者的口气和情感表达,确保你不仅关注发音,还要关注交流的自然度。
- 重点短语练习:每天重复练习上述的短语,比如“我每天都会练习”,并尝试在不同的上下文中运用这些表达。这将对你的雅思口语练习非常有帮助。
- 录音与回放:自己录制跟读的声音,回放并与原声对比。关注你的发音如何与讲者的发音相符,以便发现需要改进的地方。
- 反复练习:坚持每日练习,随着时间的推移,你的发音自然会有所提高。将这种shadowing练习变成你日常的一部分,能更快地提升你的英语水平。
通过这些步骤,你不仅能提高英语发音,还能增强整体口语能力。无论你的学习目标是什么,记得保持练习的频率,以达到最佳效果。
视频中的语法
说话人最常用的结构,并附上视频中的原话:
| 结构 | 视频中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 条件句 if + 从句,will/would + 动词 — 条件及其结果 | If I had it down I would just · If not, I will just |
| 现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事 | I've never adjusted |
什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
