Which section hits harder for you? 👀

Starting slow… then gradually pushing the ride flow into that classic up tempo swing energy 🥁🔥

Double strokes, triplets, ride movement and nonstop motion inspired by the legendary Buddy Rich style & his famous "Rotten Kid" masterpiece 🎶

Which part do you prefer?
😌 Smooth swing vs ⚡ Full speed chaos

Just exploring some "Buddy Rich" inspired hi-hat phrasing, swing textures, accents and rhythmic dimensions 🥁✨

📌 Left Hand ✋🏻 is under the Hi-Hat, index ☝🏻 finger gives the finger control, speed and dynamics whilst thumb 👍🏻 finger gives the control and light touch on the Hi-Hat, and lastly the rest of the fingers are together as with the traditional grip.

Only Hi-Hat. Only feel. Only groove.
The beauty of swing is in the details 👌🏻

Starting with a basic Salsa groove… and taking it somewhere else 🥁🔥

Started with a simple ride cymbal + cross stick pattern…
Then slowly opened it up using the toms while keeping the core Salsa pulse alive.

This is where it gets fun — not just playing a groove, but developing it into something musical.
Latin ideas, textures, and a bit of improvisation along the way.

How far do you usually take a groove?

Some songs never lose their meaning…
“I Want to Know What Love Is” by Foreigner ❤️🎶

Let me know how this one makes you feel 👇🏻

Inspired by Ben Paterson’s Golden Lady — keeping it simple, expressive, and all about the ride cymbal feel 🥁✨

Channeling that deep swing feel 🙌🏻

No overplaying. Just time, touch, and tone.
Sometimes the magic is in how you sit on the groove… not what you add on top.

Brazilian Samba with brushes 🇧🇷🥁

Mid-groove… my rack tom dampening ring popped off. Had to fix it without losing time 😅

That’s the reality of playing —
Things might go wrong, but the groove stays.
If you can keep the feel no matter what…
you’re doing it right.
