Dear Gareth and everyone who inquired about me videoing this lecture and releasing it to the public:Sounds cool Rick. Good luck with it. Will it be video'ed? Peace G
I have to admit that it's getting so difficult to have any income stream as professional musician anymore and it's all I've ever done in my adult life, so I'm not entirely sure I want to put this material
out for free on the web.It would further reduce my ability to have private students which is one of the last steady income streams
that local musicians have these days in the present economy, at least.For what it's worth, I'm actually going to be teaching this course, professionally, one on one on Skype in a month or so. The good news is that I specifically tailor the material for a persons' specific background, level of rhythmic expertise (it goes DEEP when I teach an accomplished professional rhythmatist and learning styles and learning speeds. I work really hard to make the material fit people's specific needs.
Additionally, I have spent 30 years of my life developing this material and countless hundreds of hours on research; literally thousands and thousands of dollars on private lessons with world master drummers and book and CD purchases for analysis and transcription so it's seems reasonable to be able to be able to
make some of my living by teaching it.And viz a vis the University lecture, they are actually paying me well to teach it, so it's a gig.
So, because I feel dedicated to this community and try to be really free with my own area of expertise with it as frequently as I can, I feel a little guilty admitting all of this, but it's the world we live in.
You can get almost anything on line for free these days...........well.............almost anything.
I hope you all understand my reluctance to video and put it out. yours, respectfully, Rick
