The stage for the Tired Eyes session. No matter the camera I’m learning how impactful thoughtful lighting can be and the results you can get from pretty inexpensive lights. Key, fill, hair, color/temperature and practical lights all fill a roll in the scene. This content creation thing is a rabbit hole 🕳️ 🐇 😂

I recently gave a writing prompt of “one eye shut” for her song writing stream on Twitch and I watched her write this full song and lyric in just a few hours. Really impressive! I thought to myself “I wonder what this would sound like with drums and bass added?” So I tried it. At first I had a lot of “drummer brain” clever ideas but they ultimately didn’t sound that great and were just cluttering the song. I had to remind myself, in singer/songwriter scenarios like this the lyrics are the king. If you support and stay out of the way of the lyrics it’ll most likely work. Generally that means simpler playing but that’s not necessarily easier. It was a fun challenge to put all this together. The lighting, filming, audio recording and engineering and figuring out what to play and where to put little drumming sparkles. I suggest headphones or large speakers to hear the full mix. Enjoy.

The four limb Polymeter formula. First you need to master each limb independently. Then the six possible combinations of two limbs followed by the four possible combinations of three limbs. Then you’re ready to tackle all four together. 🧠👐👣

I often get asked what is the proper thumb and index finger positioning with traditional grip? The key is three contact points on the thumb.
1. The tip of the index finger curls around the stick and makes contact with the base knuckle of the thumb.
2. The top knuckle of the index finger makes contact with the top knuckle of the thumb.
3. The tip of the middle finger makes contact with the tip of the thumb.
These three contact points set up all the other motions with the traditional grip. Happy drumming! 👍🏻🥁

Welcome to the #VaterFamily!

“I prefer Vater sticks for their weight and wood density. In my experience, a heavier stick provides greater rebound with less effort and carries natural momentum once in motion. At the drum set, I currently play the Fusion model—the round bead creates an articulate sound, and the 0.580” grip strikes a balance between power and agility. For rudimental snare drumming, I use the MV4 marching stick, which mirrors many of the Fusion’s qualities but with the size and durability required for marching percussion. The similarities between these two models makes transitioning between drum set and rudimental snare seamless.”

Zak Morton is an alumnus of both the Santa Clara Vanguard Drum and Bugle Corps and San Jose State University. With the Vanguard, he marched in the drum line from 1994 to 1999, earning a DCI World Championship and a High Percussion Award. These years were formative in shaping his rudimental drumming and technique. After aging out, Zak pursued jazz studies at San Jose State University, where he earned both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Music. Today, he shares his passion for drumming on social media, exploring the intricate world of rudiments, polymeters and polyrhythms.
What an incredible week! Reconnecting with my friend, meeting my polymeter inspiration in person 👀🤣 and having my drumming world get completely turned upside down by the master. The #drummingkinship camp was an amazing experience. One I’ll never forget. Thanks to for hosting us. Such a lovely venue.

The new friends! We were a spirited and small bunch. Loved every minute we spent together… and all the wine. 😂🍷 Until we meet again. ❤️🇫🇷🇩🇪🇹🇷🇺🇸🥁
