01:44So, Josh, I'm a first-year drum student.
01:48I mean, you probably couldn't tell from my pleather jacket and microphone clip,
01:51but I really have no idea what I'm doing behind the drums.
01:54What are accents?
01:56That's a great question, me sitting across the room on the floor in front of a trash can
02:00with somebody else's fake leather jacket holding a microphone clip.
02:03Well, an accent is a note that is played louder than other notes.
02:08That's the simplest definition.
02:11This lick uses accents and ghost notes,
02:14and ghost notes are typically quieter than every other note,
02:18and typical notes lie in between accents and ghost notes.
02:23The accent patterns I usually use in this lick,
02:27I really only stick to two of them.
02:29The first one, the accent, is on the first and third note of the phrase,
02:34so it's both right-hand hits.
02:36So it's like right-left, right-left, left-kick.
02:48At speed, that sounds like this.
02:57And the second accent pattern I usually play is the first three notes are accented,
03:03so right-left, right-left, left-kick.
03:15It's really important to have a dynamic contrast between the two.
03:19It really helps the accents pop,
03:21and really quiet ghost notes just sound really good,
03:25and a lot of other people think it's really cool if you could bust out quite controlled ghost notes.
03:31So, the second accent pattern, up to speed, sounds like this.
03:55So, now I'll show you a few ways to orchestrate this lick around the drum set,
03:59and you may ask yourself, what is orchestration?
04:02It's a very simple term.
04:04It's basically just which drums you decide to hit.
04:07You know, where you place each beat of the lick.
04:10For orchestration, we'll start by moving the right hand around
04:14onto different drums and cymbals,
04:17and it really changes the color of the lick,
04:20and it almost sounds completely different depending on how you orchestrate it.
04:36Now, some of those examples played a little faster.
04:46And those examples played up to speed.
04:52Now, some of those examples played a little faster.
04:58So, those were a few examples of orchestrating your right hand differently,
05:02but you could also orchestrate your left hand differently,
05:05and that opens up an entirely new realm of possibilities with this lick.
05:09So, I'll show you some kind of slow.
05:21And then some a little faster.
05:49So, it's a quick recap.
05:50We now know what the lick is, which is a really good place to start.
05:55We know a few different ways to apply it to the drum set,
05:58and we know a few different ways to orchestrate the lick,
06:01and the whole concept of orchestration as a whole.
06:04So, where do you go from there?
06:05Well, you could take this lick and expand it.
06:08And to me, expanding on a lick is kind of the difference
06:10between inventing something and innovating something.
06:13Expansion is just finding different ways to do the same thing,
06:19if that makes sense.
06:21There are a few different ways to expand.
06:23You could extend the lick by adding beads to it.
06:26You could even reduce the lick, or take pieces of the lick,
06:31and from that, you could create new patterns.
06:34That's for a different topic entirely.
06:37But you could also displace accents.
06:40You could displace the orchestration.
06:44You could play some, you know, this is a very triplet kind of sounding lick.
06:49You could place them in a straight 16th or 32nd note context.
06:53It gives it an entirely different feel.
06:56And you could also turn the lick into a groove.
06:59So, I'll show you how to do all those things.
07:02Let's start by extending the lick a couple beats.
07:09So, to add some beats, you know, since it's a really triplet-y kind of lick,
07:14we'll start by just adding three more notes to the end of it.
07:19Just right, left, left.
07:21Tack that on to the very end of the pattern.
07:24And then you have a nine-beat phrase.
07:26And that sounds like this.
07:37Here's that same thing slower.
07:55Now, oddly enough, you could expand a lick by taking things away.
08:02And that kind of, you know, sounds very counterintuitive.
08:06But if you just take the last four notes of that lick,
08:10just the right, left, left kick,
08:13that's a really good phrase on its own.
08:16And up to speed, that sounds like this.
08:25Really slow, that sounds like this.
08:39Another thing you could do is start the lick on a different beat.
08:45For example, you could start with the kick drum.
08:48And then that way, you could come out of the lick
08:51just with your right hand on a kick
08:53without having to do a double kick at the end.
08:57And real slow, that sounds like this.
09:09And up to speed, sounds like this.
09:18And it's also cool to, you know, start with the lick as it is
09:22and then displace it
09:24and then kind of get back into the lick.
09:27And doing something like that would sound like this.
09:41Now, we've been really playing this lick only in triplets,
09:44but it also sounds really good in straight 16th notes.
09:48However, it won't line up on the one every measure
09:53if you're in 4-4.
09:55So you kind of have to add, just,
09:57if you're playing 16th notes,
09:596 beat phrase, 16 16th notes in a bar of 4-4.
10:03You could play the lick twice
10:04and then you'll have 4 16th notes left over.
10:07So, you know, you could do whatever the heck you want there.
10:11Just right, left, right, left.
10:13Or you could take the last 4 of that lick,
10:16the right, left, left kick.
10:18That sounds really good.
10:20In fact, it sounds like this.
10:29I'll slow that down for you.
10:48Now, depending on how you orchestrate this lick,
10:51remember that word.
10:52Don't forget that word!
10:53But, depending on how you do it,
10:55you could turn this lick into a groove on its own,
10:58particularly in triplets.
11:01And I'll show you exactly what I mean.
11:04Here's what I'm talking about up to speed.
11:15Slowed way down.
11:16Slowed way down.

12:14Gracias por ver el video
12:44Gracias por ver el video
13:14Gracias por ver el video
13:21Now, it's just the same exact lick
13:24It's been the same lick pretty much the entire time
13:27So, hopefully this gives you an idea
13:31Of the possibilities that just these six notes have
13:35And, you know, apply these concepts to pretty much any lick you know
13:39And you'll be really surprised at what you come up with
13:43Study diligently
13:44And practice a lot
13:45Or I'm gonna find you
13:48And maybe I'll, like, take you to dinner or something
13:50And we could talk about drumming
13:52Because I really like talking about drums
13:56Thank you so much for watching
13:58I'm Josh Merhar
13:59And now I'm just gonna kinda go crazy
14:02With this lick
14:04And other licks that are similar to it
14:06And variations of it
14:07Just to show you some of the things that are possible
14:09When you really have it internalized
14:12And you own it
14:13And that's the important thing here
14:15Own this lick
14:16Make it yours
14:17And here we go
14:20And here we go
14:50And here we go
14:54And here we go
