This is my drum solo that I did at my Ken Loomer Jazz Quartet concert at the Glenridge Performance Arts Center in Sarasota, Florida. I`m always trying out new idea`s on what to play using the drum technique I have learned over the years. At one point during my drum solo, I wanted to do something very simple with just the left hand doing fast singles, and the right hand just tapping the ride cymbal. This will give the solo a chance to bring down the level of sound and make people listen to what I`m playing in a simple way. Another new technique I thought of was playing on the edge of the cymbal with my left hand while my right hand was hitting the left stick to produce a clicking -cymbal sound. Through out this solo I`m doing new idea`s based on the technique that I have. I always want my drum solo to be exciting and interesting. The people will let me know right away if they like what they are hearing. Here I`m using my Gretsch Renown Maple drum set with the 16x20 inch bass drum, 9x12 inch tom, 14x14 floor tom, 5x14 snare, and a 5x10 soprano snare. These are excellent drums with all wide open full tone sound. I can clearly hear every beat and roll I`m playing and I love the smaller size drums with the music I play with my Ken Loomer Jazz Quartet. I will be posting more from this concert. You can also check out the many concerts I have posted of my Ken Loomer Big Band.
