How to Drum Creatively

Hello my name is James Colonna from Cherry Hills Studios on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip we'll be talking about advance drumming what is advanced drumming, advance drumming is advanced thinking is being able to do is put yourself outside of the box, and not think so much as this is the way that's written, this is the way it needs to be done, this is how it needs to be thought about. When your playing anything it doesn't matter whether it's a paradiddle, or a flam, I don't care everything needs to be thought of and as many different ways as possible. So if your just doing a paradiddle you can start to realize what is one hand doing. You can focus more on that and you can think about that so instead of thinking in terms of I'm playing a right paradiddle and then a left paradiddle where your actually doing as playing this and that covers both right and left, so you can focus more on your right hand. And you basically go from a 4 fill to a 2 fill this is one example of advance drumming and thinking outside of the box.
