COLLAPSED RUDIMENTS The Chapin Legacy

SABIAN FACEBOOK LIVE MASTERCLASS APRIL 22

- A 30 min class, showcasing the basic principle of COLLAPSED RUDIMENTS and some exercises. - Feel free to ask /comment "on the way" in case some of my explanations need further clarification; I might squeeze answers in as we

are on the go. Most of your questions will however make more sense in the Q&A section after the class.

DEFINITION - Jim Chapin being the conceptual "father" > Change distances between the notes without changing sticking. - A number of technical prerequisites will be extremely helpful. Since this is not meant to be a "technique class" we

will however not focus on those too much.

… ULTIMATE ABILITY FOR DYNAMICS in any desired place: No matter if an accented stroke, a ghost note or something "in between" - no matter in what place and arrangement of notes.

… ULTIMATE CONTROL OF RHYTHMIC DISTANCES of strokes to each other: On single strokes, double strokes and their combinations - which also includes any possible setting that may be looked at as kind of a "flam" (meaning to have to notes of whatever dynamic setting in a more or less "close" distance).

COLLAPSED / EXPANDED RUDIMENTS WILL TEACH YOU …

… deeper understanding even on simple rhythmic and coordinative structures hand to hand triplets > inverted flam tap / loud soft example LINK TO POSTER
