With Gary Ponder

gary ponder

With drum witch Gary Ponder, NAMM 2013. We met twenty years ago. Back then he turned me on to Gary Chester’s The New Breed, and gave me a cool three-bar exercise I’ve carried with me through the years. Play eighth-note triplets, with displaced accents. Accent the first triplet in the first bar, then the second triplet in the second bar, then the third triplet in the third bar. Repeat many times:

RLR LRL RLR LRL |
RLR LRL RLR LRL |
RLR LRL RLR LRL ||

This week he turned me on to paradiddles with displaced accents. Also check out his sticking idea for Hot for Teacher.
