Inside the pack

1

Looking at the basics

Steve White explores stickings from George Scott's lineage, the one that shaped Krupa and Rich: triplets, offbeats, accents, the paradiddle diddle, and moving strokes around the kit to spark ideas.

The Whitey Warmup

Steve White on why warming up matters, especially for beginners: dedication, structured practice, fewer distractions, a diary, and his own routine of strokes, subdivisions and paradiddles, with a PDF.

New Orleans Inspired

Steve White explores the trochillo Bayonne rhythm, a three-beat pattern across African, Brazilian and New Orleans music. 16th-note hi-hats, accents over a steady bass, clave patterns and room to improvise.

Bass Drum Ostinatos

Steve White builds drummers' musicality, placing notes over chasing speed. From a basic 8th-note ostinato to "four on the floor" and displaced bass notes, control at the core. PDF and book included.

Swing Variations

Steve White on independence, inspired by Papa Jo, Buddy Rich and Tony Williams. From a Tony Williams clinic: dynamics, a swing pattern, and coordination exercises to build control and explore rhythm.
