Right now I’m working on a couple of very wordy pieces, and since I view words primarily as vectors for self-embarrassment, it’s taking me a long time to finish them. In the mean time, you should check out these posts:
Four On The Floor — Ed Shaughnessy drum clinic handouts
Jon McCaslin has for us several pages from a 1992ish clinic by Shaughnessy. At the left is his handout with his a unique explanation for his unique way of playing the ride cymbal. You sense with these that you’re missing a good deal, absent his verbal explanation, but that’s OK; I’m in favor of working with partial information.
Bang! The Drum School blog — Philly Joe Jones drum clinic audio
Mark Feldman links to some rare audio from a 1979 clinic by Jones— who was a drummer, not an educator, and the useful information is not instantly digestible. But it’s Philly Joe. You have to listen.
I am happy to help you with any of the materials on the site, and with anything else drumming related— contact me for private lessons, online world wide, or in person in Portland, Oregon. All levels of players, and all people, are welcome.
