Welcome to my channel! I'm Andi Rohde, drummer, sports scientist and music teacher. This channel is all about effective learning, health, motivation and personal development through learning a musical instrument. Of course there are also some videos about drumming, but most of them are aimed at all musicians who are a little more serious and like to think outside the box.

    Great description, only on the last couple years have I started using the hi hat with my foot, I never really used the hi hat stand due to having double pedals and it being too far away due to many Tom’s for playing metal. got a relatable pearl hi hat stand and set up the hi hat pedal travel same as my bass pedal travel and it make a world of a difference for timing and feel on the feet, dial in roughly same spring tension and it’s awesome. The way you taught and explained everything was perfect, especially about the tilt and tight was of the hats/stands, it makes all the difference. Keep those vids coming! I need cameras to start doing the stuff I wanna do! Hope to see more from you!

    Andi, I started playing late in life (18) I would join in with friends bands and they always wanted me to play AC/DC songs with them. Honestly I hated it. I felt I did not have the ability to play a steady 4/4 without infusing a ton of fills. But I must have been somewhat good at it after being nicknamed "solid". After listening to your mindful observations, I now know that I understood the how without the why, if that makes sense. (playing the HH off the Kick)I guess what I'm saying is thanks for making me feel good about my journey.

    I only have 59 seconds to explain this technique and cannot go deeper into the relationship to other techniques and explain how this corresponds to the Moeller technique. Because this is NOT the Moeller technique. It is related to it, but the Moeller technique involves a control stroke, which this technique does not.

    Hope I’m not saying too much but also besides the click another thing that was extremely helpful was to record myself and listen back when I started doing that immediately. I got closer to the groove but it never really came until my technique was up to snuff so it took a lot of practice, many many repetitions of holding the stick correctly balance posture assertiveness on the kick, heal up, relaxation, etc. but listening back was extremely important that with the click!

    We call that playing in the pocket here in the states! It definitely requires many repetitions of concentration to develop your technique, relaxation and balance. Everything has to align almost like the universe has to align to play a groove. If I have a hard workday, come home and sit down on the drums it ain’t happening. The mind isn’t there. It’s a pretty elusive thing to achieve over and over and when you need it but when it comes, it’s like magic I get it almost every time I sit down now, and I really do notice when the kicks are crisp and clean with my heels up with the same velocity , it’s cool! Keep rocking man doesn’t matter how fancy you get or how progressive you can play if you’re in the pocket there’s nothing else like it. Rock on. 💪🏻🥁

    You've got swing in your hands too, Andi! Awesome feel just like Phil! Everyone in ACDC played like a drummer on their instrument. The band had pocket on every tune and I believe when they were writing most of their material, it started with a nice big easy dance beat. And that formula always worked. I watch the River Plate '09 concert over and over just to hear that incredible groove and Phil Rudd's snare drum thud. Nice video Andi - all good stuff - Thx

    Dear Andrew, I myself have never tried the app. I just know of its existence. But I guess such an app is constantly evolving and might be very helpful, especially if you can adjust the parameters. I still think there is a merit in the work of writing your own sheet music and not looking at a screen even more than we do already. But just try it :-)

Years back I had the opportunity to meet a famous artist/illustrator, his name Renato Casaro, he asked to see my work, given his world renowned reputation I was a little reluctant but took my work along all the same. He looked through each rendition with a fine tooth comb and eventually looking up to give me his verdict! He said that my work was the best he'd seen to that point, but there was a but!! He asked why I'd not taken as much care to execute the painting of a solitary hand as the rest of the inclusions??? I thought the guy has to be taking the piss!!

    The key to Phil's groove is Malcolm, Cliff, and him. It is a pocket of three rhythm musicians, not a separate technique. This magic connection is commonly understood by R&B, funk, reggae, and jazz fusion players as they are intentionally trying to lock into a dance groove to make people move. Rock musicians can only understand such when they are part of a pocket that is meant to sound like ONE instrument. This doesn't happen with just any players. This can be seen as certain "groove" groups are only successful when certain players are present just as the only ACDC performances that sound "correct" involve Phil. Even though all the other drummers for ACDC were excellent, the magic only happened with the classic lineup of Malcolm, Cliff, and Phil....This magic is also seen quite clearly in jazz as certain recordings are considered superior because of the specific lineup during the recording or live show... Thus, Phil would probably not sound good with other musicians since the "magic" was with Malcolm and Cliff...

    Phil does not hold his sticks upside down- they are handle thickness the whole length - I've known him for years, you're observation about his kick is almost there. I was lucky enough to live in his recording studio in Tauranga ,NZ for a few years. The main room was built around his kick drum . Bricks, size, height etc. He came by one day and showed me exactly where to put the kick- every thing else followed. Ive also been lucky enough very recently to stand next to him when he let loose on Shoot to Thrill. Unbelievable. So much power from such a little guy.

    Phil sets the dynamics and timing of each hit and then locks that in throughout the whole song and that ain't easy. Also his job is to add the pulse that allowed two of the greatest rock guitar players in history to add their own rhythm on top of that. Phil was the foundation, Malcolm was the framing and drywall and Angus was the paint and trim package. So its essential that every beat in that foundation be consistent or the entire framework collapses above it.

    I watched a video about the Eurythmics. It said that their big break-out hit was "Sweet Dreams Are Made of This." The odd thing about the story was thata they were using a new musical instrument machine, that provided rythm, but it was wonky, and did the backbeat on the first beat. They were going to fix it, but Annie Lennox said, "No! Leave it in!" And thus was created the signature sound that blew people's minds in that song. And I saw that, and said, "What's a backbeat, and why is it so odd to have it on the 1?" Thanks for teaching me! I understand more, now!

    It is hard to say without seeing you play. You might sit too low, too close or too far behind. Also, if you are a beginner, but practice for long stretches already, it might be completely normal. keep reflecting and maybe take a lesson or just ask a drummer you know to take a look at your posture, setup and technique.
