Click & Timing – Altitude Drumming Vol.6 - Free Pdf and Video Excerpt
Drummers who are really good at playing time, and can do that musically and with feel, are pretty rare, and obviously in great demand.
Like with any other skill, if we want to master it, we need to go deep.
In this free excerpt we are going to focus on the difference between Timing, Groove and Feel, and a couple of ideas to deal with imperfections and reinforce our inner pulse.
We are also going to work on a dozen exercises picked from the 50+ studies included in the method.
Music is a language, and wherever there's communication, there's also a story being told. This story can be more or less interesting based on what happens in it: tension and release, a plot twist, a surprise.
Like in a good movie or book, even in music mixing these ingredients wisely will contribute to the emotions being created.
And the use of dynamics is very effective in this direction.
