No.46: “Stepped Hi-Hat Groove”
This groove incorporates a three note linear sticking in the middle, played twice, featuring stepped hi-hats. Once I start getting to grips with a tricky groove, I like to break away and improvise a fill. Checking that I can then comfortably return to the groove.

I was up at the The UK Drum Show in Manchester recently and got an amazing price on some Istanbul Mehmet Traditional Cymbals! Thanks to Drum Shop. I've been playing and recording them over the last few days and figured I'd put together a little product demo...

No.44: “Another quasi-linear beat"
This groove mainly came about while working on my ability to insert hi-hat foot notes into linear patterns. To make the groove a little easier to feel, notice that counts “1” & “2” in the first bar and “3” in the second are a paradiddle sticking.

No.43: “paradiddle over baião"
This time I’m playing a paradiddle, voiced between ride bell, snare & toms, over a baião style foot ostinato. It’s a fun little coordination workout, and sounds pretty effective too.

No.42: “Doubles ‘n’ Flams"
It was the opening double stroke roll that inspired this fill. It’s played between the snare & hi-hat, with bass under each hi-hat note. From there the fill makes it’s way down the kit incorporating flams between two sound sources and some ghost notes. Enjoy!

No.41: “Metric Modulation Ex. 2 of 2"
1. Start with a basic groove.
2. Imply a new time feel with the ride bell & hi-hat pedal (by changing the division of 8th notes).
3. Change up the kick & snare to match the ride & hat, creating a new time feel.
4. Move the ride & hat to imply the original pulse against the new feel.
5. Finally move the kick & snare to arrive back at the original groove that you started with. ... See MoreSee Less

No.38: “Linear Lead Switch"
Since last April I’ve been developing an open-handed approach. Playing right or left lead, to avoid crossing hands. During the ongoing process I’ve found that patterns involving certain stickings or linear combinations are most challenging. This video shows one example that I remember being tricky.

This is the cowbell groove that I’ve been playing during my drum solo on the recent Kris Barras Band tour. It’s based on a simple eight note sticking:
