Scams, Flams, & Paradiddles




Frank Rosaly plows through Wilcoxon solo #1. Another drummer says:


part one of Chad Taylor's beautiful suggestions:
Hey Frank. It is really hard to see your left hand because The high-hat cymbal is in the way. Your right hand looks really tight. Try loosening up your grip a little. Practice at about half that speed. Drop the accents, now try running it down with just playing with your fingers then just your wrists. Then combine the two.

Try playing it down where all the accents are done with your wrists and every thing else is down with your fingers. Then go back to using your arms, with incorporating everything else. Also it would be nice to hear that bad boy on the kit using the Dawson technique. (right hand accent floor tom, left hand accents mount tom, everything else on the snare. bass drum with the accents. Then move it up to the cymbals.
) Chad

Another other drummer, Ed Clery, runs the same solo down:



Then, live, of course, it sounds like grits and greasy chicken:
