Teacher to drum greats such as Vinnie Colaiuta, Jonathan Mover, JR Robinson, and Kenwood Dennard, as well as performer with the likes of Pat Metheny, Dave Samuels, Jaco Pastorius, Mike Stern, and Bill Frisell, Gary Chaffee has earned the respect of musicians worldwide.
The lessons in this section come from the material presented in his two videos, "Phrasing and Motion" and "Sticking Time, Linear Time, Rhythm and Meter".
This information contained in the two videos is based on the innovative teaching techniques developed by Gary Chaffee during his tenure at the Berklee College of Music (1972-1976) and more recently at the New England Conservatory of Music.
Listen to the examples, first with and without the accompaniement, and then 'have a go' at becoming the next Vinnie Colaiuta or Steve Smith.
Remember... you can slow down and speed up the exercises to match your ability and you can mute and solo the drums so you can 'become the drummer' as you play along with the rhythm section.
