yah, kay bob gatzen po. sounds like ting-ting-tining-ting-ting-tining... pero paginaaply ko na ayos naman, diba swing po ang basic nun? then high-hats paisaisa lang tpos bassdrum pitik lang,, pero paano po ang snare? naguguluhan ako pati sa traditional gripping! hehe!
usually, ung hi-hat ay sa 2 at 4 siya, while ung ride cymbal does the triplet swing (without the second note). tama si sir aya, ung snare does the comping thing. pati ung bass drum minsan puwede rin. pero you might want to start out with the four on floor thing - bass drum does quarter notes. parang sinasabayan ung walking bass pattern ng bass guitar. at siyempre wag kalimutan ang dynamics, very clear dapat mga cymbal patterns, ung snare ay hindi gumagawa ng backbeat so wag masyadong malakas, at ung bass drum kapag four on floor dapat very soft. sabi nila, "felt not heard". pero ako minsan kapag naggumagawa ng comping patterns sa bass drum nilalakasan ko ng kaunti, at sa mga accents din pala.
regarding the grips, you don't have to learn traditional naman siguro to play jazz. si sir mar dizon, matched grip din pero jazz. so i think kung anong comportable sayo.
anyway, try mo sa pinoydrum forum, i think nagkathread ata ng ganito, although matagal na ata.
