The Ultimate Drumming Toolbox

Keith Carlock, best known for his work with Steely Dan, Toto, and other legendary acts, came out to Drumeo to wow everyone with a full lesson on how to make your solos more interesting.
Keith’s biggest way to bring unpredictability and creativity to his solos is to play around with modulation, moving from a 12/8 feel to a 6/8 or 3/4 feel, and weaving in and out of all three. “It allows for interesting things to happen and shifts the way the time feels to keep things interesting for the player and the listener.”
Lesson Takeaways:
- Practice to a metronome
- Sing ‘melodies’ between the kick and snare that you might play in that timefeel
- Work with existing muscle memory and bring in grooves you’ve played before
- Make your solos more interesting by bringing in new timefeels, melodies, dynamics, repeating sections, textures, and using the rim and hands
- Play along to records to solidify your internal clock
