A fun, melodic tom pattern makes up this month’s phrase. Check out the two bar version featuring an over-the-barline option.

  • Louie, I really dig the experimentation with different setups. It’s real food for thought, but, you absolutely burn with hats on the left and 12, 13, 14, 16.

    • Hi Dave!

      Yes, it’s great to experiment. You learn a lot about you’re playing and a lot about music – what’s required, what’s really necessary and what isn’t. I still LOVE the setup I came up with with the hats on the right, BUT, while recording a pop tune last month it was fascinating to learn that my feel was much better with a traditional setup. I recorded several takes on both setups and my feel was a lot better with the hats on the left…even though I hate it!!!!
