Yes yes! Happy new year mates! We are going deep in today's video - deep into the world of J Dilla and in particular how his sound has influenced modern drumming! As most of you will know, J Dilla is a hip hop producer who created his own feel - half straight / half swung, in time but off the grid! In today's drum lesson we will dig into the history of J Dilla and importantly, look at some ways to recreate his sound on the drums! Link to the notation from the lesson below as well as a full credits list! RIP Dilla! Alex 👊
