Re: Some Chris Coleman
Chris Coleman has class. Plenty of chops, but he knows when to pull back and groove. Not my favourite kit sound, but it definitely works for him and his feel is excellent.

Re: Brushes Crush Roll
And finally (until I get my hands on some proper equipment...stop tittering at the back!), here's my third vid of the week - I must be on a roll! (pun intended, sadly):

Re: Brushes Crush Roll
It' just me having lost some touch with the brushes. I can make them sound good in a jazz setting but I can't figure out the right stroke for those songs in a concert environment, where some extra beefiness is needed. Sort of an acoustic jazzy country thing, that kind of fat backbeat. You're probab...

Re: Brushes Crush Roll
Another one from headband-cam:
It uses a 'tip-to-tip' technique to play doubles. Result is a lusher sound that doesn't rely on rebound (poor with many brushes). Once again, a full explanation available on my site.

Re: Brushes Crush Roll

Obviously I can't disclose the details, but a headband and a webcam are involved. I did think of inves...

Re: Brushes Crush Roll
For that "press roll" type sound I general do the hit the rim with the rubber part and let it flick into the head deal, or sideways scraping. I'm not sure who invented that rim technique, but somewhere on youtube is a really cool video of Buddy Rich using it - IIR, to play a double handed...

Brushes Crush Roll
I stuck a (very) short video on youtube showing how to play pseudo crush rolls with brushes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-yPVIhEiCY A full explanation is on my website (the Tips & Tricks section). Apologies for the quality (video, audio and playing!), but it's better than nothing... ________...

Re: Building Vocabulary- time frame?
A good habit to get into is mentally rehearsing stuff in your head when you're away from the kit. I do this last thing at night, instead of counting sheep. Things sink in really quickly that way (and I need all the help I can get because I'm in my 40s too!)
