Lick of the Month – May 2017


Inspired by Keith Carlock, this phrase uses a 5-stroke roll sticking but starts in an unusual place.

  • I remember you mentioning that great players play simple things at a very high level of execution.
    This is one of those licks — simple, but sounds great up to speed right out of the box.

    Do you ever play the doubles on toms, Louie? And if not.. why not?

    • Hi Mike! That’s true about the simple things played well. Sometimes I’ll play doubles on the toms. With this particular phrase, probably not. But I have been trying to play more doubles generally and sometimes I play phrases that use doubles on the first rack tom for example. Doubles do tend to get a bit lost on the toms though, particularly the bigger drums.
