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.

 

Work mode …although I am smiling.  I am blessed at times to be around some insane talent.

Chris Carroll Drum Solo

When I was young, my parents asked me what instrument I wanted to play….I said "DRUMS!!!" — then they bought me a violin </3

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.
