Monday Drumday: Learning a solo

I have been doing more messing around on the drums lately, but needed to find something to actually learn for today. There are tons of drum lessons on Youtube and I found this one from Jeff Randall. I do not think I have done one of his before. He has a Patreon page where subscribers get access to extra material, but I just took the drum tab from the video.

Jeff teaches us a brief solo that uses a call and response pattern with the first half being the same each time and the responses getting steadily more complex. I found it tricky as it is not a straight 4/4 beat and the bass wanders a bit. I was getting fairly close by my final take, but I am probably playing it at less than half his full speed. I can keep working on it. I had the usual recording issues where either sound does not work or gets out of sync. I can work with my Linux setup, but can be frustrating.I did not do any fancy editing this time.

We had a contribution to the Drums community from Hive account@iyedrumz who shows us how to really play as he backs up his band. I can dream of playing so naturally. I know it takes years of practice.

Rock on!
