Freddy Dave Allen and Blaise playing jazz at the Luis Hernandez Art Salon (Delray Beach), on Sunday, September 21, 2008... You can see the band at approx. 2 minutes into the video, and then again at approx. 5 minutes into it... Check out my drum stick spinning moves ... haha
Phil and Friends, featuring Dave on vocals, playing "Miss You" by the Rolling Stones on Saturday, January 3, at Johnny Fuci-Fino's Restaurant Bar and Grill, in Oakland Park, FL.
RLL -- A very important hand pattern! Right left left , so simple yet so important. Watch the video for some good evidence! Then go practice it -- RLL RLL RLL RLL repeat....
Thanks, from Dave Moadel
Here is a good drum warm-up involving displaced double strokes:
RRLLRRLLRRLLRRLL (repeat)
RLLRRLLRRLLRRLLR (repeat)
LLRRLLRRLLRRLLRR (repeat)
LRRLLRRLLRRLLRRL (repeat)
I am playing these as sixteenth notes, at a tempo of quarter note equals 120 beats per minute.
Thank you, from Dave Moadel
Here's an interesting paradiddlediddle warm-up. It consists entirely of paradiddlediddles (RLRRLL): 8th notes, followed by 8th-note triplets, followed by 16th notes, followed by 16th-note triplets. I'm playing this at quarter-note equals 100 beats per minute.
It's Dave's super-cheesy drum stick spin move, set to Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix. A quick clip of me doing a goofball stick twirl move. Kids please don't try this one, it's not cool at all.
