#MondayGrooves No. 32.

In this two-bar-groove, the sticking remains the same in both bars.
The main differences are:
#1 The bass drum figure: Instead of playing on beat "1" in bar 2, I moved this bass drum to the "4a" of the previous bar.
#2 The placement of the snare accents.

New groove next Monday!

A little bit of soloing after all these grooves, haha 🍁🇨🇦😊

Welcome to #MondayGrooves No. 31.
A nice little one bar groove where the right hand hits the rim right before the snare accent on "4".
Oh.....and it's shuffled.

So nervous........I was so nervous when it was time to hit the stage at my first big, international drum festival in Montreal 10 (!!) years ago.
Before it was my turn, I remember talking to the great @paulwertico and he asked: "Why are we even doing this?".
-- Apparently, he was nervous too 😊

Nevertheless, when I went on stage it felt great!
I mean, the audience, the theatre. What a festival.

At the beginning of my show, my playback stopped because the drum riser was shaking like crazy (real hard drives in computers cause real problems).
Even though this might seem like a nightmare, it didn’t bug me at all. I just played a solo instead.
I guess my good preparation paid off.

Btw: Paul Wertico gave the answer to his rhetorical question: "Because we love the intensity."

Thank you to @ralphangelillo for inviting me to play and @groovechart & Thomas Barth (Sonor) for making it happen!!

Welcome to #MondayGrooves No. 30.
The only difference between bars one and two is the hi-hat opening on "4+".
The second half of each bar might seem displaced - that is intended 😊
Also, the very last bar of the video is in fact displaced by a 16th note.
New groove next Monday!

A lot of you asked about that fill at 01:12 in my last post.
Here it is. Many call this a Blushda & I am guilty of playing it all the time & I am fine with that, haha 😊
Here it starts on "2" .
It doesn't have to. It can start anywhere.
There are plenty of fills in my #FillBook.
But what's WAY more important: In my Fill Book the rhythmical concepts are explained, so that you can use them with different figures AND come up with your own material.

Welcome to #MondayGrooves No. 29.
I tuned my snare quite high but didn't use any dampening for this groove.
The right hand plays the rim of the snare and the toms while the left hand plays snare and hi-hat.

Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be showing a new groove every Monday.
