HAND TO FOOT COMBINATIONS FOR DRUMS | Jazz Drummer Q-Tip of the Week

In this free drum set lesson, I show you several hand to foot combinations for drums that will make everything you play on the drum set much easier and expand your ideas for soloing and playing fills. If a drummer is not comfortable with various permutations of hand to food combinations for drums, it will make everything they attempt to play much harder. This is a fundamental skill that all drummers need to master to some degree. I think this lesson on hand to foot combinations for drums will help drummers feel more comfortable with this fundamental and necessary skill.

    Amazing info ! I love that workout format! During the lockdown I watched my girlfriend who is a dancer do "dance workouts" along videos and I thought that it would be awesome to have the same for the drums. I'm doing a lot of work on your 30min Ride workout. Have you considered doing a "Hands technique workout" to play along to? Have a nice day, Joel.

    Sandy Nelson was an LA pop drum star who recorded quite a few instrumental albums in the 50's and 60's.Not a jazz player, but the drums sounded great and he could swing with a good groove.Some of the stuff is pretty kitschy,but it can be pretty entertaining,kinda cool that the drums were front and center.Quincy,love that you are always flying the banner for musicianship and intent behind the drum kit,keep the videos coming.Thanks

    Magnificent Quincy!. It is precisely these concepts that from my point of view interest those who love the old school of jazz. That way of playing that gives a certain feeling of elusiveness or ethereal to the band. My congratulations once again. Hopefully soon I can focus and get to work with the teachings of your website. I hope so... Kind regards, ...you are great.👈🏽

    @dieterpapke88152 жыл бұрын

    Suggestion: Because in music the term “note” is traditionally used to define attributes of pitch (ie. cdefgabc) and time (ie. quarter, eight, sixteenth); perhaps you might consider using the term stroke (ie. used to describe hits in drum rudiments) to differentiate your foot/hand exercises. For example renaming one and two foot note exercises to one and two foot stroke exercises (e.g., single and double foot stroke). So doing is more in keeping with traditional music terminology.

  • @drumqtips

    @drumqtips

    2 жыл бұрын

    That's a very insightful observation Dieter. I think because I play piano and think of drumming on a wholistic music level, I tend to think of terms that are universal to any instrument, rather than drum specific terms. But I totally understand what you're saying and I will consider that for future videos. Thanks!

    Holiday greetings from Dublin Ireland Quincy. Great video once again. Hand to foot combinations would definitely be a weakness of mine and an area of my playing I'm working on in recent practice sessions. Do you have a preference with heel up or heel down? I can't seem to choose which approach to take at the moment. Thanks.

    For the bass room I mostly use heal down but if I have to play two notes quickly, or if I have to play really loudly on the bass drum then I will use heal up. For the hi hat, I use heal up mostly
