Chris Pennie Hollywood Squares (2:30)

Here is  a longer solo section from Hollywood Squares performed by The Dillinger Escape Plan with Mike Patton.

So many cool things here.

There are few places where two limbs play simultaneously but I consider this a nice example of linear drumming. 

Chris Pennie has a ferocious technique and a creative approach to voicing rudiments around the drums.

Here is a 5 stroke roll with the bass drum added to create a cool motive that he repeats throughout the section...

Then there's this...

Pennie breaks up the sextuplet flow by starting in the middle of the phrase...that is why there are three 16th notes on either side of the measure.  The 32nd note diddles fit aided by dropping a 16th note on the bass drum...that is why there are only five bass drums in a row.  Incredibly difficult to say the least...

Enjoy!

Zach Hill - Biblical Violence (1:08)

This example begins with a flam snare/bass sextuplet that forcefully grabs your attention.  It also has an awesome "call and response" phrasing that utilizes Zach Hill trademark bass drum patterns and a quick left hand. Very challenging to play up to tempo but full of ideas to incorporate into your playing. 

Enjoy!
