Drum Percussion

When Gary told us about his childhood, we had a little talk about tap dancing.

Having a look on Joe Locke's agenda, I saw that he will be performing at Jazz Baltica (Germany) in July, with young tap dancer Maurice Chestnut and a few other percussionists. The title of the performance is : "Percussion Discussion".

Whao!! I'd love to be a little mouse and attend!… But who knows, maybe there will be some video on Youtube…

I'm fasinated by lines so today I studied opening licks. I put them down in a Finale doc and thought I'd post them.

I sat and listened to them until I could pretty much play them, then I went over to the hunk of metal and tried to slowly play the lick without messing up. Then I sped it up and put it through all the keys.

You guys should try it. Licks are attached.

Here James puts all the drums together.

Unbelievable! His hands, the rolls. He's incredible. I'm moving to Thailand. Later!
