I’m thoroughly enjoying Ian Leslie’s book John & Paul. Love the detail about the recording of Twist & Shout. How did I never notice John Lennon had a heavy cold?
Can’t remember how I stumbled on this, but wow. The footage looks and sounds incredible, and they all look like they’re having an amazing time. SO much energy. Can’t wait to watch the full concert film. Gutted I missed it in IMAX last year!
I came across this track whilst flipping through the RSL Grade 8 drum book, and it’s been stuck in my head ever since. So much groove. Yussef Dayes is one hell of a drummer!
Beau has been on a roll with these videos recently! This one on blocked vs interleaved practice is especially good. As he suggests, it can really help you level up your practice.
If you want to better understand polyrhythms or have tried explaining them to someone without success, watch or share them this video. The visuals are really helpful.
Somehow, I’ve only just discovered Yussef Dayes. I’ve listened to these two albums a lot over the last two days. Both are excellent. He’s an incredibly creative drummer.
