I started working with a new drum student a month ago. He’s very talented, hungry, ready to practice, and already studying out of my college freshman textbook. He’s a freshman too: in\u00a0high school.\u00a0<\/em>Anyway, I asked him a series of questions about what he’s learned from Youtube. Youtube is, in the words of my former pastor, free music lessons for people who can’t take music lessons. And that sorta is right. There’s lots on Youtube for us to learn. My student has learned a lot from Youtube, since he hasn’t been able to me challenged as much as he’d like from teachers around here. (Incidentally, I think I’m going to be another such teacher; I don’t think I have the chops to teach him much. I’ll probably learn more from him than he does from me.)<\/p>\n

Anyway, one of the questions I asked him was “What Youtube video inspired you to practice a particular lick\/feel\/groove\/fill\/system, and that you worked on so much you actually learned it?” Here’s my answer…<\/p>\n

I’ve posted before about Steve Gadd’s “Crazy Army” solo<\/a>. The video of Vinny Colitua and Dave Weckl displaying their drum polyrhythm madness, and then how Steve plays a solo based on a drum corps marching beat. Well, I loved that video so much, I found the music for “Crazy Army.” And, based on some videos I watched on Youtube<\/a>, I learned how to play it.<\/p>\n

So now, music type person, what video on Youtube got you to get into the practice room, learn something new, and now you have mastered that particular lesson? Post a link in the comments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
