So here's the deal.

I have a Sibelius file and a midi file and an xml file. So there's a way to use this with any notation file or even DAW that you have.

I put down chord tones on the beat. You fill in the off beats with notes from the scale (the rests).

Make musical sense. Half step below is fine. Half above has to be in the scale.
Listen to it and make changes to make it sound as good as you can. it won't sound super great but parts of it you will like and you can play. I recommend playing the whole solo.

Play along with me and Drum Genius!

Here are 2 files. One I've completed and one is for you to complete.

Write in the chords, then put notes in on the 8th note rests to make a solo (my version has it done for you to check out). Make it sound as good as you can.

If you have questions, put them below.

The files are here:

I have Sibelius files, midi files, xml files and pdfs and an audio file of my final version.

A solo version of Bluesette. All feedback is welcome. If it’s really brutal, dm me on Facebook. Thanks. Reid.

My favorite etude! I keep saying that about other ones, but I think this one’s actually my favorite.

Per Tony and Randall Sutin's recommendations I bought two, balanced Earthworks SR 25's (used). They worked great for a while but one of them developed a weird, random static while the other was just fine. I contacted Earthworks and told them about the problem to see how much a repair would be. Earthworks asked for serial numbers to see if they were still under warranty. I told them I bought them used. They said it didn't matter and the warranty was good for 15 years.

my first improvisation video ... I started studying with Tony and he suggested I post a video ... it is a start !

Just Sayin'.

I taught Dennis when he was at the Curtis Institute.

I could not believe how good his ears and his memory were. He could face the other way, I could play some 4 mallet stuff and he would come over and play it back. He was a freak.

I just saw this tonight. Dennis is something else!
