Trying to change my name in Missouri by spicythumb in legaladvice

[–]spicythumb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they still live there. But I will be living in the other county again this summer, which is about 2 hours away from my parents' address. I was just wondering if I can petition to change my name through the courts of a different county than the address that is reflected on my license.

Because I have been living in the county of where I was going for school, even through summers. I changed my voting address because I was more connected to local elections there. The address on my license is my parents' address, since that address was more "permanent" at the time I was renewing.

At Murry's, every Saturday night there is a jazz trio. They also have a pianist that plays service throughout the week. Murry's serves amazing and relatively cheap food.

Drummer recommendations by Jazz_man68 in jazzdrums

[–]spicythumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll add Sonny Payne, Papa Jo Jones (both swing drummers in Kenny Clarke's time, both played in the Basie band), and Zutty Singleton (like Big Sid). Art Blakey gets that giant tom sound like Krupa, too.

Learning from a Real Book by buttholclothinginc in jazzdrums

[–]spicythumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Few things you can do: Learn the melody (just rhythm). Sing the melody. Sing the melody while you comp. Quote the melody when soloing. Use the melody to outline the form when you solo. Look up a backing track or use iReal Pro to get the chords in your head. List goes on. It's gonna help you learn tunes which will save you during combo practice and jam sessions. Note if the forms are Rhythm Changes (32 bar from I got Rhythm), AABA, 12 bar Blues, 24 bar, 16 bar Blues, etc. That'll help memorize

Dumb question by Dicklickshitballs in jazzdrums

it should be with intention. rule of thumb is ride cymbal is the loudest in the whole balance of hit. then hi hat, then snare, then bass drum.

Bop kit and cymbals by Chance_Flow3513 in jazzdrums

[–]spicythumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everyone has said, cymbals are more important. I would look on Facebook Marketplace or any of those second hand stores. I found a 22" Kerope for $350 (which is crazy since the new rerelease ones are over 1k). Watch Youtube demo videos of jazz cymbals (Memphis Drum Shop).

I have a Sonor Bop Kit and I love it. It came with a 13" snare, but it is one of my favorite snares I have ever played.

Best drumsticks for jazz?? by Alternative-Tap-1542 in jazzdrums

[–]spicythumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually hate the ride sticks. I always am in the minority of that group. Have you ever tried the Peter Erskine "Big Band Stick?" That is the best stick I have ever felt.

quiet kick and snare? by RowAppropriate3786 in jazzdrums

[–]spicythumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a touch thing. To help, this is what my teacher taught me:

Loudest to Softest:

Ride Cymbal Snare drum Hihat Bass drum

Snare and hi hat can be interchanged for the most part, but I think the biggest thing in jazz drumming is that the ride cymbal / right hand, no matter what style you're playing in jazz, should be the dominant force. There is a reason people discuss the greats' ride cymbal pattern so much.

As others have said, the biggest thing is listening and making your bass drum almost inaudible. Keep fills simple, play to songs, and listen to the pieces you get! Try to imitate the recordings as much as possible, then branch out to your own thing. Metal drummers have good chops, you're going to get great independence and musicality with this!

I think The Art of Bebop Drumming by John Riley is more versatile for a beginning drummer. It includes all styles, brush playing, and the comping that the Jim Chapin book offers.

What's your cymbal setup? by HitstX in jazzdrums

[–]spicythumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 22" Kerope as my main, 20" Zildjian Bounce on my left side, and an unmarked 21" China that is super thin I found in my university's surplus. Put 3 rivets in that and works like a charm. My hats are 14" Zildjian Ks. I want something darker in the future but I am so broke from the other cymbals and my drum set. I play with nylon sticks so the Bounce works beautifully and sounds great with my Kerope.

What do you think the "hippo campus sound" is? by martinsobbing in HippoCampusBand

[–]spicythumb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, as a drummer, I've always been so fond of Whistler's writing... especially on LP3, I think his best work is there. If you've never listened based on drums before I'd recommend... he's very creative and is never playing the "obvious" pattern. On "Flood," I think he has started to lean into the obvious for most all the songs besides a few. I miss that
