Techniques and Tips

Development of the Two Sound Levels with the Hands

he HH, SD and BD are the three basic drum set components used in the funk drumming style. Understanding how these voices interact is an important key to building a powerful vocabulary. This graph illustrates the dynamic distances among these three voices.

Snare Drum Accent/Rim shot

These levels are always controlled by the overall dynamic level of the music being played. In a normal playing situation, the rimshot may or may not be forte (f ). This is determined by the situation. The graph illustrates the differences in the two levels and is not meant to be interpreted literally. Most recordings will reect what is seen in this graph.

Practice and Performance Tips

Two sound levels should be used in all exercises, grooves, and lls. Accented notes = mf /f (8" 12") Non-accented notes (ghosted) = p /ppp (1/2")

The rim shot is an important part of the funk sound. The stick strikes the rim and center of the drumhead simultaneously. Striking the center of the drumhead produces the biggest sound. Additional rim shot sounds can be produced by using other areas of the drum. The dynamic contrast in these two sounds should be that of a whisper to a shout.

The LF/HH should be played with the heel up, as this produces a shorter and much more dened chick sound than with the heel down on the footboard. To build endurance and groovability, you should strive to be able to play each pattern, sustaining intensity for ve minutes without stopping.

In the initial stages of development, practice the patterns slowly. This technique allows you to watch each note as it goes by and then make any adjustments necessary for accurate execution.

This composition revolves around two basic grooves: Ex. 1-The verses:

Ex. 2-The choruses:

With the exception of the twists and turns of the arrangement, I stayed with these basic parts throughout the songa very simple approach with very little improvisation until the choruses Choruses at the end. Choruses

The concept here is to suspend the sound across the bar line, following the length of the gure, while keeping the momentum of the groove going forward. The initial gure (meas. 81) is played with crash cymbal and bass drum. After that (meas. 93 to end), either a snare drum with crash cymbal, or snare drum with open hi-hat is used. Ex. 6-Choruses 7 and 8 include all three interpretations.
