THE COURSE DETAILS
"Start with the right hands" begins with the four fundamental strokes of drumming - downstroke, upstroke, tap, and full stroke - which are the pillars on which to build your sound temple.
As you progress, the course unfolds like a story, where each video is a chapter that builds on the previous one. From sixteenth note combinations to the nuances of morphing, Morcavallo does not just teach, but reveals the hidden language of the drums. With each lesson, the veil lifts a little more, revealing not only how to perform, but how to feel and live every note.
The morphing becomes the common thread that guides us through the complexities of rhythm. It is not just a technique, but a philosophy, a way of thinking and being. Morcavallo shows us how every accent can transform, how every beat can flow into the next, creating a rhythmic fabric that is as solid as it is ethereal.
Through practical exercises and melodic applications, the course challenges us to overcome our limits, to find music in moments of transition, to see beauty in complexity. And as we approach the final chapters, we realize that we have learned more than just instrumental mechanics; we have learned a new way to express ourselves through the drums.
START NOWGabriele Morcavallo discusses the importance of the foundations of playing, even for more experienced drummers, and introduces the four fundamental strokes: downstroke, upstroke, tap, and fullstroke.
Gabriele Morcavallo explains how the choice of grip (French, German, American, or Traditional) affects the control of the stick's rebound.
The use of the fulcrum and the controlled free fall of the stick is emphasized, with the fingers cushioning the rebound, controlled so as not to receive unwanted vibrations in the arm.
"Let's get to know the tap up close, a stroke that starts and stays low. The correct technique requires managing the vibration of the stick rather than pressing the tip against the skin or the pad."
Gabriele Morcavallo demonstrates how the strikes follow one another and prepare for each other, with particular attention to the transition movements and the concept of "morphing."
It shows how to manage accents and morphing within the note groups of the 15 combinations of sixteenths, exploring how to perform sequences like 1-2-3, 1-2-4, 1-3-4, and 2-3-4.
The technique of accentuation and morphing is explored in depth, with particular attention to pairs of notes. It discusses how to manage accents with two consecutive downstrokes and the importance of preparing the hits with upstrokes.
The lesson focuses on groups of notes within sixteenth note combinations and explains how to manage accents and morphing within these groups, with a focus on the shifting of the fulcrum between the hands for different accents.
The lesson introduces the concept of phrasing on the drums, providing simple yet effective combinations to enrich one's "vocabulary."
The lesson focuses on morphing applied to the triplet. Its foundation is explained and how it fits within a quarter note, with three eighth notes. It is shown how the sequence of hits changes with the accentuation on different eighth notes of the triplet.
