Clinic Video
Ive been quiet because I’ve had a very strong desire to dedicate most of my practice and free time to playing and working on tabla.
This is a clip from a college clinic I did recently in Utah.

Iambic Rhythm’s On Drum Set with Chris Carroll
Iambic Rhythm’s On Drum Set
Iambic is a Greek term that describes a motion in there old poetic system. In this FREE lesson I show how I think about some ways to use this motion on drum set. This was filmed thru my phone so sorry for the low audio fidelity. Hopefully you can take some information here for yourself. Also when I say tonic , I meant to say a Dominant motion.

Galaxy Drums Promo featuring a reduction/expansion
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am happy to share a video I create for Space Cabin Audio’s “Galaxy Drums” Samples. In this video, I explain how I use a custom set of E-drums to trigger high quality drum samples, using my pads thru an audio rig in real time.
In the composition, I created a reduction/expansion going from 9 beats to 1 then reversing back using a long pulse (3beats) as my theme. Within this theme, I cut up the time in duple, triple, 4:3 and then finaly trying to cut the long pulses into groups of 5 and 8. Very challenging and creative for me!
Galaxy drums is having a black friday sale now till monday.
