How about starting out with the all time best selling jazz record, Kind of Blue by Miles Davis. The tunes are highly approachable for a jazz initiate, and the personnel on that record are jazz giants in their own right: "Cannonball" Adderley, Paul Chambers, Jimmy Cobb, John Coltrane, Bill Evans...

Here's my latest pie, the now discontinued HBTL ride (gotta love Zildjian's cymbal naming...) http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m5UBLFfAMbk

I thought I'd record short samples of all of my rides. I'll start the project with my lovely DLR... http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qsvMNMUY_GY

Here's an exercise which was inspired by both John Riley's and Andrew Hare's works. It lends itself nicely to really mastering longer rhythms, drawing more ideas from your rhythmic vocabulary and getting familiar with phrases that flow over the barlines.

Here's one for rudimental scholars. The Solo No. 42 introduces inverted drag taps as dotted sixteenths and 32nd notes at bar 8. I was wondering what is the proper (traditional) way of phrasing them. So far I've ended up with two possibilities: either play them tight or loose (well duh!). It...

Our band, Seed Husk, recorded seven original tunes a while back. I did my parts in a bit of a haste, but overall it sounds pretty good. Take a listen and tell me what you think! http://www.mikseri.net/artists/seedhusk.137805.php I used a Kumu four piece (14"x5,5", 12"x9", 14"x12", 20"x17")...

...it's about the drummer. Benny Greb shows how it's done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SziF4mesPA

As the title titillatingly insinuates, here's a recent clip from the basement... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkEGJi2xHi0 Aydee, I played that bass drum triple stroke just for you!

Have a listen to them here. The page is en Finnois, but I gather you can locate the "play" buttons. PS. I found out it's rather difficult to play rock convincingly if you're mainly a jazz guy...

Googling would've yielded an answer far quicker. Anyway, to show my 1337 g00g1ing 5ki112, here's a quote from Wikipedia dot org: The entire article can be found here. Check out my insane hyperlinking skillz, too!

I can be a 1337 h4x0r t00.

At first I totally missed the gloves because I was distracted by THE AMAZING LEVITATING BASS PLAYER MAN!

I use gloves whenever I play an outside venue in the winter. It never happens.

Re: Good Band Documentaries This is Spinal Tap.

Re: the moler technique Two snare drum passages; the first is single-height, forte all the way, and the second is a two-height passage played with alternating hands. I marked the strokes one should use when playing the second example: Down strokes, Taps and Up strokes. If you don't pre-empt...

Sound clips ohoy! Here's some shoddy playing after a week's break. The cymbals are the same as in the pictures, plus a Meinl Byzance 16" Thin crash and a Paiste Signature 10" splash. I used just an SM57 to record the whole kit, and added some reverb for some color.

They're here! My good ol' snare was finally joined by the rest of his family: The pictures don't really do justice to the real thing, but trust me when I say they are utterly and entirely beautiful works of art! Snare 14" x 5,5" Tom-tom 10" x 8" Floor tom 14" x 12" Bass drum 20" x...
