Ms Deville después de beber una taza de café.

Ms Deville después de beber una taza de café.

Roughly translated:

"Ms Deville, after drinking a cup of coffee."

After watching SpeedBagAtaraxis punch drum to Canadian guitarist, Jesse Cook, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIyHH...layer_embedded I was inspired to follow suit.

The tempo in this particular song really grabbed me, not to mention the title – "Cafe Mocha." I L - O - V - E my morning coffee...

¡GOCE!


Bag on!







Okay. So I am a full-fledged ADDICT to punch drumming and especially to Jesse Cook's fabulous music.

I filmed this practice session yesterday (Aug. 14th) and decided to go ahead and post it on You Tube today. It's not perfect, and since it was the first time punching to it, there are several imperfect moments. Hopefully, it's worth watching...

...Why is it I suddenly feel like a cup of "de cafe" myself?

Great hittin' as usual. What is that platform made of? It has a plexiglass kind of sound to it.

Now... try it again after 3 Venti cups of joe! I love my coffee too, can't start the day without it.

Many bags from me on this one:

Thanks ebozyn. Nothing fancy here, but I liked how it sounded with the song. I think this type of music really lends itself to the speed bag sound.

Why, it's my STEEL DRUM, of course! Actually, it really is a sheet of 1/2-inch steel that was cut in a 32-inch circle. My "Trainer Raul" designed the free-standing setup. It's very sturdy, and has a great rebound. But, the sound is quite different from the traditional wood platforms. I'm okay with it, but someday I would really like to have a butcher block-type drum.

Oh... that explains it! I remember reading something about a concrete drum or something? Thanks.

Bravo Denise! your punch drumming has come a long way. Sneaky reverse fist roll to the front of the bag! Looking great. Keep em coming!

My Steel Drum has been converted to a Wooden Drum...

...Many bags from me on this one:










UPDATE:

Well, a lot has been going on in my life since posting these 2 punch drumming videos (a couple of my personal favorites).


I guess I can consider myself an inventor/entrepreneur since introducing the DEVILLE "A-51" ball-hook swivel in February of this year. http://www.speedbagforum.com/forums/...ead.php?t=4114


And, this ultimately inspired "Trainer Raul" (my partner) and me to create a new speed bag swivel.

We have designed this one to be embedded in a 36" wood drum and have retro-fitted the outdoor steel drum into a WOOD platform. Raul drilled holes through the thick plate of steel to attach the wood drum to it. He attached it from above with 1" wood screws so that there are no bolts showing from below ~ Sweet!

So, I now have a 36" wooden platform! Yay. And, this flush-mounted swivel (which we have named the "D-21") is amazing. By flush mounting this swivel, I have shortened the arc of the speed bag by about an inch. And boy, what a difference an inch makes in regards to the ease of punching as well as the increased speed of the bag. It also seems to be much more forgiving if you mis-hit.

Thumbs up Wow!

I haven't been on in awhile Denise. Life has distracted me from the forum for a bit, but the addiction is still their for me. It looks like you are going into Swivel design very deeply. You and Raul are changing the the swivel world as we know it! Nice change to the wood drum, I hope you like it as much as the steel drum. You guys have me doing Inward double elbows now when I punch drum. I have also, been working on a new 4-way elbow basic punch drumming rhythm by starting the 4-way elbow with a double bump elbow followed by the 4 way. It's alot of fun!

Great punching, from both You and Raul and Best wishes on all your swivel designs!!!

Keep on Baggin Denise!

Kerry

Love it Dee!

Great Job with adding some variation to your punches again. I really like 1:39 - 1:41; right after the continuous linking you throw a FDP then split fist to catch the bag on the up beat with a RSP triplet rhythm then begin more spit fists by starting with a RDP. You give it a catchy bag beat there. To me that indicates a major jump in your sense of the "Bag Beat" Denise!

Also, being the first take I really like how you hit the one handed linking while simultaneously matching the beat of the violin strikes (1:59 - 2:01 and 2:13 - 2:15).

2:22 - 2:39 you use Inward outward double elbow strikes to the Rhythm. You also mix in some front double punches or a front circle punch to help stay with the beat of the song. I find using the inward outward elbows are very difficult to do much less to music so this impresses me incredibly and then when it becomes a little hard to stay with the beat you improvise with the double or single basic rhythm punch to match the bag beat to the music again. Good recovery with the split fists there!


And lastly, the upward rolls at the end, were actually 2 upwards and a downward to complete the 3 punch roll from the front of the bag. This allows you to use the downward as a more powerful punch as a triplet rhythm punch to use your bag beat to match the music beat.

I can see why you love punch drumming so much Dee you are an inspiration for taking on the challenge that a song brings and trying new and unique music.

And the courage to record your first take while improvising deserves a big round of applause.

Nicely Done MsDeville!!!

Oh and what does ¡GOCE! mean?
