I like how he says one too you know what to do

Honestly...that was the greatest "human" lesson I've ever seen via my phone. It felt like I was in the room with Greg. Thank you so much for this

no need for quotation but if it were necessary you would close them after 'lesson'. Anyway, I agree with you; feels like an old-school DVD lesson.

Yes, this was an amazing seminar for all musicians, dancers and teachers. I would like to hear his ideas on right hand stick holds.

"Walk The Dog" I just learned, is a upgrade for me from "Spang A Lang." Thanks and Blessings Greg!

Fantastic lessons! I "walked the dog" and now I have to pick up the........ 👍👍

I love jazz. Play piano and alto sax but love the technical lessons of other instruments. You get a holistic feel.

Great lesson! It lays out the swing pattern musically, and emotively. Walk the dog not only captures the pattern, it captures the mindset when playing the pattern in a welcoming manner. Bravo, Greg!

I really appreciated all the different camera angles. Very informative. That one of Greg's arm from the side surprised me with how still his arm actually was; so controlled while so relaxed.

Probably the best lesson I found about this. So simple and clear, thank you so much Greg and everyone involved with the channel.

Beautiful!! Hutch gave a perfectly simple explanation of conceptually playing the ride cymbal. . It's all attitude, feel, spacing, and most of all, SWING!! 🙏🏾🎶

Greg Hutchinson is anOutstanding instructor

Marvelous drummer and teacher!

I always recognized that drumming is a form of language and how you “pronounce”, “tell the story” via instrument is all what it is about. It’s like reciting a poem. You can tell it flat, or you can have listeners follow you. But I never linked specific patterns to specific phrases. Thank You Greg. This is huge lesson

One of my favourite drummers -- and what a teacher. Love it

Learning it as a Para Diddle Diddle triplet helped articulate it for me. RLR RLL. Right hand on the ride. Left hand ghosts on the snare. Para Diddle Diddle. R (L) RR (LL). Walk (ra)the Dog (diddle) RLR RLL

This was so helpful and so educational. I feel like I can communicate everything he said to my students and improve their overall playing but most importantly, their feel. Thank you!

This guy makes a student excited about learning.....he's a natural.

If you listen to the album "Live at the Loa" by Ray Brown Trio, you'll hear someone shouting "walk that dog!!!" to Jeff Hamilton throughout the album. Wonder if that was Ray Brown or Gene Harris shouting that?

What a beautiful ride cymbal

Ahhhh...those Paiste Masters look beautiful

Outstanding lesson. Simple and informative. Thank you.

Love this video ~ my drum teacher taught me this when I was a teen who wanted to play like Phil Rudd .. my teacher was a Charlie Watts / Steve Gadd / Dave Weckl fan and thankfully taught me foundations .. Ian Oddy ~ thank you ~ I’m a big fan of Jazz at this stage in my life .. 🙏🏼🎶🇦🇺 🥁

I got so into this that I forgot to literally walk my dog...

Thanks Greg and Open Studio!

Listening to your video took me back to my teens. Specifically playing one of the first song I learned, “I Hear A Symphony” by the Supremes … that song walks the dog all day long! Lol Thanks for the memory! 😎👍🏻

Greg, thank you. So good, so generous with your teaching. 👍

Nicely done, Greg! Thank you...

Perfect lesson. Thank you! Love the left hand too. The way you break up the comping pattern under the ride pattern. Gotta work on that!

I walked a lot of dogs today

This lesson kicks ass but damn, your ride is the stuff of dreams. Thank you and have an awesome day, man.

So many great lessons going on here. Thanks

I picked up a trick from the great Billy Cobham the five stroke roll is "walk the dog" as far as the right hand is concerned (left) if your a lefty, the five stroke is a very handy tool around the kit many thanks Greg

These Open Studio lessons are great.

Bam. Presentation by a great instructor. Thank you. A+ teaching.

Okay, just before this video from Greg I watched a video from Peter Erskine, exactly on the same topic. And there Peter emphasises that he does not play the jazz ride pattern as "a three-note grouping". So, forget 'walk-the-dog', forget 'spang-a-lane'. And here we have Greg, teaching just that. I am convinced by Peter on this one. The walk-the-dog doesn't actually teach us the rythmic structure of a swung eighth note bar. The actual bar is: 'walk, walk-the-dog, walk-the', which in proper counting corresponds to, 1, 2, and3, 4, and. The off-beat notes (last notes of the triplet) of 1 and 3 are silent, but they can be played. Walk-the-dog doesn't give that rythmic awareness of what you actually playing. Greg in demonstrating the technique actually starts from 2, leaving the note 1 out, so he plays 2 and3, 4 and1. And that's exactly the problem with walk-the-dog. Peter advises to start with even quarter notes and then add the off-beats as pick-up notes leading to the next quarter note. Start even but you can acent 2 and 4, or the offbeat notes, Elvin Jones style. So, forget walk-the-dog. I am suprised why Greg teaches that, being a fantastic drummer.

Interesting observation. I agree it doesn't really demonstrate rhythmic structure very well but I feel like the point of this clip is more about demonstrating how it should feel.

maybe the best explanation I've heard, and I've heard a bunch!

Wonderful. Thank you

Incredible teacher

Good too see you again online Greg!

Excellent lesson. Using phrases to time beats and fills is a powerful tool. In India, they teach the beats as chants.

Thank you for the lesson! From a beginner drummer here!

Immediately connecting with the walk the dog phrase. I was never really taught this phonetically, it was always the specific rhythm of the thing, or listening to examples. At most, maybe we heard a "tang, tanga tang" Very interesting stuff!!!!!

Thanx, Greg🌹🌹🌹😎

Thank You Greg I like that, it is right. To go alongside in movement to be affable to dance ❤

nice man!...good teacher..

Listen to that ride cymbal on Henry Mancini's Pink Panther theme. That's a great lesson in how to swing!

Great lesson, the explanations and the vibes are so cool and easy. I have one question , from Walk the dog, you may think that Walk is the first note of the bar, yet when you play it, with notes, it seems that Dog is the first note of the bar!

Excellent!

Amazing!

great technique and extremely well executed. i'm not a jazz player and don't really aspire to be, but this is good for understanding the concept. i would only say that there is nothing whatsoever to do with 'in' when referring to a fulcrum. the fulcrum is the pivot point about which the stick rotates. somewhere near the area between your thumb and index finger.

"Walk-dog" pronounced as long as possible. Only add the "the" - the bump - occasionally.

love it!!

Sweeeet! Thank you.

Superb lesson, where did the comping transcription come from... So jazzy I love it 👍🤔👀

Thank you!

that ride cymbal is godly

Excelent tips.

I think the most important lesson of this that is not explained is that THE/DOG is a double that he is playing as a down wrist stroke followed by an up finger stroke. (learn this from double stroke rolls)

Very helpful

Very nice Greg. Thank you.

yeah i agree with most of the comments here, this is a great tutorial!

Superb...

Love it

Bravissimo.

Dude… nice… thanks!

EPIC!

Hi Greg very enjoyable video. I would like to know what size and model your Paiste ride cymbal is your playing sounds nice. Thanks

Marvelous :)))..... its like ...leng speng a leng speng a leng....

I can't unhear it lol
