An instructional Book/Video from Hudson Music and Mark Colenburg.
With a focus on legendary hip-hop producer J Dilla and his unique way of combining styles and creating rhythms, Mark looks at specific aspects of drumming technique, groove, and creativity. These include warm-ups, beat patterns, musical swag, performance concepts, improvisation, and chops. He then puts everything together and demonstrates his own signature beats that are an amalgamation of all these aspects.
âThe goal I had in mind was to demystify Dilla and other hip-hop producersâ concepts as basic beats and show how intricate they are, âsays Colenburg, âAnd then show that it can have great applications in playing live drums.â
