3:16 Ravel reference!

What drumsticks are you using?

Many thanks for teach us all this techniques for the Hi Hat, and you have all the reason when you say that the HI Hat is the more important element of the drums or something like this . . . !

Maybe ,Carmine and Rick will do a lesson duet !

I don’t even play drums, I just like sitting with your groove. I remember those Peavey drums!

I am so in love with that drum kit, the sound, of course the player, but man that kit ugh....

Great book. I teach my students out of that quite often. I'm just. Amazed that you have one of those peavy drumkits. Every time I see when I think of bobby rock

This was my first drum set book after going through Roy Burns’ elementary method with my teacher years ago. I remember how exhilarating it was progressing through this book. And I loved hearing Carmine’s accent on the included flexi records. This video was a joy to watch and makes me want to revisit these exercises!

nice!

Hi Rick, As always a massive thank you for inspiring me to keep going! Just a thought... Would it be possible to do a video on click tracks? It's always interesting to see what sounds people like, whether they go for 8ths, 16ths and so on. You may already have done such a video but just in case... All very best, Tom in England.

Wonderful playing! Inspiring to watch. The book is impossible to find though. I tried everywhere to get some years back but no luck anywhere

Cool stuff!

Amazing

What about the Pearl jupiter 14x5 COB?

Amazing!

Thank you so much ! I am and will much obliged to you for remind me of the carpen tunnal. my hand is strongly pain when i squeeze my hand and use more wrist. I will change that, in a nutshell, very very very thank the experienced teacher, performer and youtuber rickdior. very thank you

Lol!

Strange no one looking for ''first'', well uh.. leaving my sincere thanks, got inspired now to do a sick drum.

This is excellent!! What is your snare head btw? Has a great vintage sound

Hey Rick, if you could do an in depth video on intermediate to advanced variations with limbs on waltz/3/4 jazz playing? I’m finding it difficult to be creative with the groove and especially with the hihat placement. I feel like it’s such a static thing that a lot people struggle with. Thanks

Excellent guys...

You are awesome thank you so much!

Where is the book available from?

I would drive hours to see Rick Dior in the drivers seat, grooving live; brilliantly performing. Thank you for uploading.

But Peavey it,s a pa sound brand?

Rick you are a great Master ❤

Added to the list for tomorrow where I can listen over a better large audio system. Nice work.

That snare is cutting daisies.

I must be doing something wrong. Within a few months, my brushes' wires completely move out of the nice flat fan shape they were in when new. Is there a way to get the wires straight again?

Great video. Can expand on why you tune the bass drum to a paticular note. Here you say F. But what if you are in E major.

Listen to the great Klaus Doldinger Passport Records ...great playing Rick!

Nice! Thanks, Rick!

Great, thanks!

Great performance. That figure you catch with the piano @3:15! Only stellar musicians can nail this kind of stuff with only one run through.

Top level playing.

So good 👍 sounds great!

What a beautiful beat!

Been around percussionists most of my early years---many were just what we called "Bangers" -- Joe Morello is the Finest percussionist Technician I have ever heard.

Whats the chart song please

I got to work as crew for this show once, its so cool. I wish I could do sit-ins with pit orchestras more often, I love watching pit orchestras work but I don't play any instruments so its always a little awkward asking, but they are such lovely people

The monkey reveal and the release of the monkeys are always my favorite parts of the show, just a perfect confluence of the music, performers, costumes, lighting, everything just goes so hard

On the punchy Peaveys! I love that kit and those FAT hats. Tasty playing as always. :)

The Acrolite is the Les Paul Jr of drums -- made by cutting corners designed as a beginner/hobbyist instrument but actually sounds awesome.

Hi Master, Which seat or throne do yo use? Thanks a lot for your fabulous videos, they are best ever

This is amazing! If I had a second lifetime I think I would be a percussionist, its far and away my favorite part of an orchestra when I see and work shows

Yum

Wow! Great playing, man. Bass and keys got great time, too

Great stuff

Such a tight well balanced sound for two overheads and kick mic. The snare is very immediate and full.

All great stuff, Rick. I wonder if you could say a few words about how you adjust the hi-hat stand tilter and the trade-offs of how much space you allow when you tighten the clutch on the top cymbal.
