Techniques and Tips Development of the Two Sound Levels with the Hands he HH, SD and BD are the three basic drum set components used in the funk drumming style. Understanding how these voices interact is an important key to Tbuilding a powerful vocabulary. This graph illustrates the dynamic distances among these three voices. fff f Snare Drum Accent/Rim shot Bass Drum Accent HH Accent/Shoulder of Stick mf Hi Hat Accent HH Non-accent p SD Ghost Note/Tap ppp Graph by Roland Henkel. These levels are always controlled by the overall dynamic level of the music being played. In aSAMPLEnormal playing situation, the rimshot may or may not be forte (f). This is determined by the situation. The graph illustrates the differences in the two levels and is not meant to be interpreteHUDSONMUSIC.COMd literally. Most recordings will reflect what is seen in this graph. Excerpted from the Hudson Music book “The Code of Funk”, by David Garibaldi. 8 © 2006 Hudson Music LLC. International copyright secured.

Garibaldi_bk_proof7.indd 8 5/9/06 8:40:27 AM Practice and Performance Tips • Two sound levels should be used in all exercises, grooves, and fills. Accented notes = mf/f (8" – 12") Non-accented notes (ghosted) = p/ppp (1/2") • The rim shot is an important part of the funk sound. The stick strikes the rim and center of the drumhead simultaneously. Striking the center of the drumhead produces the biggest sound. Additional rim shot sounds can be produced by using other areas of the drum. • The dynamic contrast in these two sounds should be that of a whisper to a shout. • The LF/HH should be played with the heel up, as this produces a shorter and much more defined “chick” sound than with the heel down on the footboard. • To build endurance and “groovability”, you should strive to be able to play each pattern, sustaining intensity for five minutes without stopping. • In the initial stages of development, practice the patterns slowly. This technique allows you to watch each note as it goes by and then make any adjustments neces- sary for accurate execution.
