Drum Practice Track #10 Drum Practice Track #10
Posted by: 17drums

Video duration: 320 seconds

Intra-kit interplay (intricate wordplay?) with some 4/4 Swing Funk. From KJ Record's "Jazz Practice Tracks, Vol. 1". Music minus the drums CDs are GREAT tools for practicing with. Did I overplay? Absolutely! But it's a PRACTICE track. If you can't overplay and experiment during practice, then when? (FUNK entry for video resume).

King Porter Stomp by Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich King Porter Stomp by Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich
Posted by: 17drums

Video duration: 249 seconds

Having fun with some drum battles within a song. Picking out solos by ANY drummer is tough, but especially so when it's two of the world's greatest drummers. So naturally, it's not perfect. Gene's parts are played on the right snare and Buddy's on the left. (JAZZ entry for video resume).
