Solo 33 - All American Drummer (Charley Wilcoxon)

I find this solo particularly tricky! I finally filmed a decent play through for my practise diary, so thought I’d share it incase it helps someone else learn it.

No.54: “Herta With Added Kicks ”

This is an idea that I‘ve been playing around with for a little while now… Playing a Herta but filling the “gaps” with bass drum (or stepped hi-hat) to create a linear lick. Here I’m applying the idea to a 6/8 feel, see what you can come up with!

My drum chart for ”Bed and Breakfast Man” by Madness has just been uploaded. It was requested by one of my students. It's quite a good song for beginners to develop open hi-hat notes. Also a good introduction to reading the occasional 2/4 bar within a 4/4 song. ... See MoreSee Less

No.53: “Paradiddle-diddle Voicing”

This is a really simple way to voice a paradiddle-diddle on the kit, but it can sound very effective. I’ve been having fun incorporating it into some jazz swing improvisation.

No.52: “5-Stroke Roll Shuffle Lick”

Here’s a 5-stroke roll played as triplets, each accent lands on the swung up-beat 8ths. I get a lot of use out of this lick… Hopefully it’ll prove useful for you too.

Hi all! I just uploaded a brand new YouTube lesson this morning. It’s all about developing an up/down motion to add accents to your hi-hat 8ths. Then choosing whether accenting “on” or “off” the beat, or keeping your 8th notes consistent, will best suit a song.

No.51: “RRLR LLRL Fill”

This one bar fill was created by playing around with the RRLR LLRL inverted paradiddle sticking. See what you can come up with using that sticking or any of the other paradiddle inversions. Have fun!
