Drums are only there to keep time and Make a song sound Badass Then Whiplash (the movie) got me interested in Jazz and Drums I Listened to the Dire Straits - Sultans of swing The Vinyl Recording, and how the drums interact with the Guitar Chords. Then i started to listen to Dave Brubeck's Take Five, especially the drum solo. Then i listened to Julien Lage (Nocturne, I'll be seeing you. Live in LA) and how the drums work with the "Main Attraction". Now i Love Jazz Drums. Because they do what they are supposed to do (Keep time) and also complement the Music (Harmonically, like chords) and are capable of Solos. All at the same time. It doesn't matter what you do. But when you listen to a Shit ton of Music. You'll eventually end up at Jazz.

As a beatboxer, I'm always singing along in my head but it's always so much fun to bust out the vocal trumpet noise or sing with the basses. I'm glad drum players can "sing" along with the melody too!

This turned out to be a very well produced video, with a killer drummer showing the concepts. Really well done!

My gosh Allison Miller is IN-SANE!

This is so interesting. I built a set of drum triggers myself recently and have been developing a patch utilizing Max/MSP and Ableton to trigger melodic phrases on synths via a trigger to CV to MIDI conversion. This is seriously the next step for drummers and it is amazing to see all the other drum artists utilizing these same technological possibilities to create melody on percussion. We are making the future, not waiting for it. I am so glad to be alive right now!

the single-drum sidestick stuff rocked my world. instant horizon expansion, thank you!

Amazing Explanation...

When people say Drums can be played “melodically” and literally play a melody, I think that’s only one level of it. But the idea of playing melodically on Drums to me is just playing with melody in mind. Meaning, don’t just learn the Drum part and “keep time”, learn the melody, sing along to the melody as you play. This will make you play more “melodically”. it’s everyone’s job in a group to be time keepers, it’s not the drummers job. If that was the case, why not just use a backing looped Drum track? Because Drums serve as an equal tonal contrast against the other instruments.

Not only that...(Hi, Abhishek ! Daisy here.)...a quick synopsis of the rhythmical /melodic range that you find in Indian classical music: tablas and the North Indian AND South Indian drums have beautiful traditional tonal contrasts in the various strokes on the drums. Also, just to speak about tabla, which is only ONE percussion instrument set..there are many different traditions, schools and styles of tabla. If you look at the field of tabla literature as a whole--that is to say, all the different compositions by many different masters of many different schools over the past few centuries...you find a range of literature that is at least as wide, extensive and varied as say, piano/harpsichord literature or violin/viola/cello literature. AND on top of that, the level of mathematical complexity and organization in tabla literature is far above the level found in Western classical music and somewhat more developed than jazz. What you won't get much in of Indian music is harmony. Melody is far more developed in Indian music, but harmony, nope. Hey, enough is enough !

NickN2 all closed/half closed strokes on kit are collectively called 'rimshots" by many people. Just like comedy rimshots does not refer to something specific. Yes, a snare rimshot is a specific half closed stroke, but the collective term for all rimshots, rimclicks, and crossticks are "rimshots". If you have a better generic term, let's hear it. This is the term most pro drummers know.

yes, but what is the collective name for all rimshots, rim clicks, and crosssticks. words sometimes have more than one meaning, it's allabout context.

You have missed it. Other than keeping time, the drummer is contributing emotionally to the music by controlling the tension and release. The different sounds are different tensions - not melodies. When a drummer solos - the emotion of the tension has taken over the song. He is not creating a melody. That said, there are some songs that match a tuned drum to a melodic note. That is rare.

@Timon-IrishFolk

6 жыл бұрын

“Rare“ is very subjective. I myself dont know jazz that much so I cant say anything about that but look to irish music (specifically Bodhràn playing) and you find loads of people tuning their drum to D as must tunes are traditionally played in D, for the whistle players. Jim Higgins for example plays extremely melodic on the drum. I know this is not the thing you are actually talking about but it might still be interesting

If we didn't hear the song first there's a good chance most people couldn't identify the title. Even the drummer in this video is not very confident if it was heard. If that melody was played by a trumpet or something like in "Name that Tune" most would guess it fairly quickly. Maybe it would sound clearer on drums which are actually tuned, like bongos or steel drums. Doesn't sound like much on standard drum kit because that's not what they were designed for, as is clear in this video. It's just an extra thing discovered on this instrument, just as people find many additional techniques for playing other instruments.

If you listen closely while looking at the different part of the drums she's hitting, you would realize not a single standard MIDI trigger can do this. Finally, notice that those sensor are plugged with XLR plugs instead of jack... light-years ahead of a piezo "on/off - softer/harder" sensitivity. But I guess you're the expert in the house :P

also 'whales' is a term with both general and specific meaning. dolphins and porpoises are technically whales, but the 'true whales' are baleen whales. oh how the intricacies of language elude you. probably all the pent up emotion an ocd. don't allow yourself to be triggered so easily, grasshopper. not a good look.

Do you still not get the fact that a rimshot is different to a rim click? When someone says rimshot, they are referring to the specific action (rimshot), not the generic (hitting the rim in some form). The same way that crashing and riding on a cymbal are different, but both are hitting a cymbal. Intricacy does not equal confusion and double meanings. oh how the intricacies of language elude you. Probably don't lecture someone about the intricacies of language at the same time as forgetting to capitalise and missing out letters. not a good look.

Immediately triggered. THOSE ARE NOT RIMSHOTS.

*So it's like a fingerstyle in guitar and talking drum in a drum, that's cool!*

jazz is everything

I don’t think she understands how vibrations and percussion works. When a drum is hit, a sound is made without a particular note that can be made out. When a guitar string rings it plays a near infinite amounts of notes, however the note you hear is the strongest one out of the multiple notes interwoven into that sound. If you play a note on an instrument and then analyze it in the frequency domain you will see that what sounds like an E is actually multiple other notes within it, however you will find a large spike around frequencies that correlate with the note that E note. Now what gives a drum sound a “drum sound” is that there is no large spike under one particular frequency, all the notes are of equal magnitudes. Therefore the perceived note is nothing, just a beat or percussive sound. That’s why you don’t need to tune your drums to a particular key to match the key on the song that’s played. There is no melody played when she hits the drums, it’s just you’re expecting to hear the melody and you correlate the two together in your mind. The drums are not a viable instrument to conduct melodies with.

Yes and no. Drums are a block of sound, especially snares. But thats if you buy rock drums. Tamtams are basically a toned instrument if you tune em sharp enough. A snare without the beads has a pretty sharp sound depending on how you tone it. Cymbals are blocky depending on type and if they shake but hitting the dome on most cymbals gives a very pure sound. Basically if you tone it like a classical percussion instrument its going to sound like that. Regular drum sets are hard to tone to a scale so mostly you imitate the melody. But its very possible to tune them to a specific note and play on them like a toned instrument. Hell classical percussionist have a timpani which can be toned on the go with your foot and they retone it mid performance.

You give alot of interesting info (and alot of opinion too) but drums/percussion can absolutely be melodic. I have even played a drumset with the floor tom tuned to A and the others tuned to harmonize with it. There are lots ways drums/percussion can be melodic.

Drums actually have fundamental frequencies for each head. You have to precisely tune your heads in such a way that the tension matches around the rim of the head and creates a single fundamental with upper harmonics. If you look at a frequency analysis of a drum hit you can actually see the spikes at different harmonics of the fundamental. Drums absolutely have a note within each hit, it's just not the primary thing that we hear when a drum is hit and most of the time people don't tune their drums to specific notes. While the note within each drum is not dominant in what we hear, it exists and is especially noticable with softer hits.

not sure what they had to do with the female part, males didn't decide to dominate the industry with their big evil plan, males just gravitate more towards it.

The correct answer is, who gives a crap. You ideologically possessed person. She's is in this video because she's the one doing the exploration. Try to look at people as individuals, not genders, for a change. I'm so sick of identity politics and the lazy people that bear them to save themselves having to think. Why am I sick of it? Because it leads to Communism and tyranny.

you could look at people as individuals if they were not opressed as groups. The offbalance of famous male/female musicians is huge and no, @jzonkel its probably not an elaborated big evil plan, but it's clearly a cultural fucked up shit. Unless you can justify genetically a "bigger gravitation towards music" in males than in females it's a cultural problem. And a huge part of cultural problems such as these are lack of references; and precisely what this video is doing (having a female drummer) is giving this reference to 47k people who have watched it so far. So I don't think there's anything wrong about Wul's comment.

Incredible, crisp video. Subscribed!

veeeery nice, amazing. wonderful and beautiful.

WOW that was super cool

what a drummer! wow!

Awesome video! Very inspiring for us young musicians :D :)

I really like the look of those sample triggers. Whether for jazz or not, I reckon I could have good fun with those, without making my drum kit pointlessly huge.

Yo! During the 2018 University of Montana Jazz Festival in March, you were my jazz band's clinition, Allison! You also killed it on the drums during the end of the day when everyone went and saw the masters of each instrument (with you on drums of course) come together. Fun times.

This is so good!!!

Awesome video. Never seen this Channel before. Great stuff

Wonderful !!!

She is sooo talented, perfect pitch

I'm so happy I found the first women on drums, who is playing so good and musical, and things I like. Amazing. Finaaaaallly!!!
