Dazed Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I know right š (joke!) Ā no seriously, Iāve always admired good drummers, wish Iād have realised it at a young age and learned to play them properly. Anyway the reason for this post is because of a 4 part programme on Sky Arts - The Art Of Dumming. The 2nd one is on now but itās probably on catch up. I caught the first one last night and Iād recommend watching it. Interviews and clips of themĀ playing fromĀ a wide spectrum ofĀ drummers, and the historiesĀ of common patterns and grooves and how they developed.Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikel Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I was a drummer, but i'm all right now. No, I mean I come from a drumming background and playing the bass was a real eye opener for me. It makes my understanding of drumming and bass playing, with regard to the rhythm section, so much better. Playing bass has improved my drumming.

AntLockyer Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Proving the theory that 'It's all about the hang' I've become the on call dep drummer for a band of pro musicians round here. I've not really played the drums for 10 years despite a kit being setup permanently in my studio. I need to get my hats back from our drummer and practice I suppose.
