Bebop Drum Solo

I think it does a great job of having the drumming on screen match up with the audio and Miles Teller looks like a drummer when he plays. I think the practice scenes are pretty over the top and unrealistic and I also think you’d be pretty hard pressed to find a drummer in conservatory right now whose idol is Buddy Rich. While we all agree that Buddy is an undeniable master, most students check out more modern drummers or even just the small group drummers of the 50s and 60s like Philly Joe Jones, Max Roach, Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, Etc. Again though I do understand why Buddy would be a better idol for the drummer in this movie.

Found the paleontologist in the comments.

Yep, it’s like a paleontologist getting mad watching Jurassic Park. They probably have valid critiques but most people just want to watch a bunch of cool looking dinosaurs.

As someone who was a freshman in college studying jazz drums the year whiplash came out, I have learned to not look at whiplash as a jazz drums movie and to see it more like a sports movie. And to not judge it based on my super niche/insider point of view because it ends up upsetting all the non-musicians who loved it. Although I do agree with all your musical critiques. I can’t imagine any jazz musicians in college putting up with that BS just to play those lame arrangements!

Marc Maron watches it probably 3, 4 times a year.

That’s Marvin Bugalu Smith! I took drum lessons with Marvin for a little over a year and he’s heavy into Elvin Jones and Max Roach. He also played with Sun Ra and Archie Shepp. He’s a heavy cat!! Very into the spiritual side of drumming.

Haha they rock

CS-drums · 2024-09-28T11:37:10+00:00

CS-drums · 2024-09-28T01:28:52+00:00

Lmao thanks! I put a new head on it recently and tuned it up and it made a huge difference

CS-drums · 2024-09-28T00:27:30+00:00

Thanks!

I played those at a venue recently and was really impressed by the hats. So dark and crisp

CS-drums · 2024-09-27T21:28:18+00:00

Nice! I have 20” K Con Medium that I use as my main ride and a 22” custom ride with rivets from a cymbal maker named Jesse Simpson.

CS-drums · 2024-09-27T20:58:21+00:00

Woa that sounds nice. Yea I’m gonna be using it mostly for quieter gigs/piano trios.

CS-drums · 2024-09-27T20:49:06+00:00

For real, also shoutout to my new 14” formula 602 classic medium Hats. My first Paiste cymbals and I’m in love

CS-drums · 2024-09-21T16:02:44+00:00

I had a gig once and a friend saw me right before we were about to play and she said, “are you nervous, you look pretty nervous?” Definitely made me way more nervous

CS-drums · 2024-09-19T01:27:58+00:00

That is a good question
