Tony use the timpani position (not only) and you can look on the videos - he hit the skin with the maximum power he can - maybe a lot of drummer can go faster than him, but they don't hit as strong as Tony , and have half of his sound - the SOUND ! You dont have the sound ! only the timpani position can make this sound so loud .

I studied a total of 14 years with Mr. Adler over a 30 year period, usually with weekly lessons. I wonder why you did not mention the all important arch between the thumb and the forefinger and the also important turn of the wrist which rotates. The arch is vital to the strength of the fulcrum and the wrist turn causes the stick to have a curved path instead of straight up and down. All great technical drummers, such as Buddy Rich, Louie Bellson, and Billy Cobham play this way, where the arch is very noticeable and never collapses.

Pretty cool!

Man! You are effing great dude! Your ride cymbal pattern is crazy, where did you get that from? Did you steal that from Tony Williams and the greats? I was in awe just now!!!

Thanks for being awesome 😎 and I wanted to say that when an artist dies like Tony little or Lady Joplin Hendrix Cobain etc .. the magic of the music they gave us echoes through eternity as the best examples of what human kind ever made or played... All hail the brave and the clever who fell from the realm of mortals and became one with eternity 🤘

yes!

Aquarian is nuts to have stopped making these... :(

I miss buddy rich so much there was only one buddy rich

FANTASTIC

Good video….no talking just demonstration 👈

Wow, that sounds exactly like Tony Williams!

Nice work Greg!

I can do them in that fashion and clean

I have recently discovered your channel and just wanted to say thank you for acknowledging Mr. Henry Adler. Like you say, he is (Unfortunately) a forgotten teacher and his system for hand development technique is the best. I did not study with Henry, but I was taught his methods by one of his students. It completely changed my approach to drumming and I am forever grateful. Fortunately, I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Adler a few times even though he wasn't my teacher directly. Thanks again for the videos. Great channel!

wow, that sound like sh*t

is it possible to hear you play with other musicians?

Nice Ride technique! Henry Adler told me to open up my ride cymbal beats like triplets to swing…..played para diddle diddle cymbal and snare…..worked….

More stories of your upbringing pls!

You should have given the eulogy at his funeral

yes all wrists, stick one with the hand -close to the drums -amazing results-excellent lesson thanks

Henry would be proud…

You are amazing bro. Wish we could have become much better friend. SHS 1979🥁🥁🥁🥁🤗😎

Love those hi hats

That was cool. I like the ghost notes on your left hand. Sounds like a jazz drummer from the 30s in a speakeasy playing jazz for people drinking their cocktails.

Even after talking lessons with one of Henry's students I still had a little bit of trouble with the brushes. Finally one day it came to me. But Greg, your brush work looks really good. Thank you!

Always inspirational thanks Greg..😎

La familia

I agree! Terrific intro Greg.. just awesome totally fantastic dude. You've got scary chops! Cool share.

As a drummer I've always found accents tough to execute. Also, the way your drums are tuned it sounds like the late great Tony Williams the way he did it. Thanks for that Greg.

great stuff . Thanks !

Great video. I am looking to get one too. But as a new drummer, which size should I buy?

Nice!!

wow

Always so inventive, amazing style, exciting work !

This sounds so "GOOD" on my smartphone. Smooth relaxing jazz! O'ya 🙂

That's so cool...!!!

As a young drummer I used to haunt Ginger Baker when he eas with the Graham Bond Organisation , he was lethal and brought jazz into RnB.Loved Elvin and Roach too.

Very cool. You really have this technique down to an incredible speed. I was always impressed how Steve Gadd would work this triplet pattern into a lot of his solos and swing time in general. I am going to keep working on it and try and get it up to tempo

I've been a huge Jim Gordon fan since I was a teenager back in the '60s, and I didn't even know it till years later. His drums were on so many big albums and major hits of the day, but I never knew his name until I first learned about him in the Joe Cocker-- Derek and the Dominoes--- Delaney and Bonnie era. All these years later, I've done a lot of personal searching to seek out his recordings. Going right back to the early '60s as a teenager with the Everly Brothers, and then becoming the Number 2 session drummer in LA after Hal Blaine..... His legacy is incredible. Thanks to UA-cam I can hear a huge amount of his work. Jim could play any style of music with any artist, and his time and his groove are incomparable. His mental illness is a real tragedy, but this can never take away from his awesome, God-given musical talent.

... Great demo, Greg! ... Robby says AMAZING! ... Best wishes, man ...

Wrists... forearms... you kill me each time i'm watching you playin !!!

Do you know a place Defemios in yonkers ?
