Here is the second of a bunch of ideas I used in this year’s Drum Off competition at Guitar Center. The transcription shows exactly what I played during the four bar solo I took using this concept. “Idea Two” is closely related to “Idea One” which you can check out here: Drum Off Idea 1
Make sure to ghost all of the unaccented snare drum notes, and look to get this in the neighborhood of 100 to 120 bpm. The idea comes from something I heard Zach Danziger do in a solo with Eddie Gomez’s band over twenty years ago. The lick is a killer.
