Hell yea \m/ That's some fancy stick work he's doing there :cool: Always nice to see it being done though. I play too fast to throw in flare like that Lol I can only headbang like a mofo while playing :rolleyes: But if I'm jazzin around, I can easily do stick twirls.

When I recorded at AudioHammer, the vocalist and guitarist from Volumes stopped by and chilled for a bit. Cool guys.

Playing 28 years. Influences Neil Peart. Mike Portnoy is what I've been described to sound like.

Including the almighty dive bars. Lol I play piano keyboards guitar and more. Past few to several years no band no jamming just raising m y two kids on my own. Yes they are amazing musicians.

Lovely bro. Lol I know I lived it. Still am. Lol I still remember a kid in the music store. I heard him cutting up some blast beats. My wife at the time never heard me play (a long break due to Hurricane Katrina) anyway it had been over a year or two since I had played and had just moved to ga. She always heard I played many instruments. She certainly knew my son was a badass on guitar and happened to actually be at the music store getting him some gear upgrades. Anyway I was watching the kid. He was ok but concentrating on impressing his buddies. Weve all been there I guess. So my wife at the time pushed me to ask the kid if he would be done so I could play. I was never in my life nervous. I played many shows and southern curcuit tours on coast openers. But this was nuts. Heres the cool part...to me anyway. I thought well ill just play something to warm up. Now remember the kid and his buddies are all like look at the old man. I'm 40.. lol but yeah they thought I guess I was just all some kind of old school fart..lol I was playing a dream theater piece. The opening of hells kitchen. First I thought wow this kit feels great so I went to ask the price. I come back and the kid is back showing off on it in front of the wife. And then that sense of my old youth came in. That been there done that. And it didn't help my son was there and he was same age as the punks laughing and having fun which by the way wwas understandable...So the kid said the words do you know any faster beats man.? I said sure bro. And I grabbed the sticks and smiled. Dude I don't know what came over me, or what I felt I had to prove but that was a frickin solo. I had been halfway through and longer I played the more crowded the area got. Man I never felt so proud for my son when the kids buddies looked at me and said. "Damn dude. You are one bad ass mother F'r. I thought wow I still got it. Long story I know left out much but just one of those strange but good feelings that I had when I thought the year or two wouldve killed me. It was a solo of suppressed music love of perfoming. I know I still got it. And will carry with me everywhere I go. Playing how I feel and in return people feeling what I play. I was born not just with the gift of percussion but with writing and recording. I'm happy today about that. Peace.

TheSkinnyDrummer. I've heard a lot about you. A pleasure to finally post with you.

I'm not drumming right now but I used to learn. I had to stop due to exams but I'm going to get back out there.

Apparently, my teacher has performed with Poets Of The Fall after they judged a contest. They put a mic on the crash cymbal to amplify the sounds.

I'm seventeen and I'm new to the programming world. I also used to learn guitar and found drumming more challenging.

I love John Bonham and get goosebumps when the drums kick in in Stairway To Heaven. Yes, your argument just became invalid.

Sent from my SCH-I605 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Off-topic] TheSkinnyDrummer:
well, it's just something you have to try...over time, you'll find ways to incorporate it more. It can be as simple as when you would normally do single hits on your standard floor tom, why not have TWO floor toms to hit at the same time? More sound, more power. And then as you get used to having it there, you'll start playing it with your left hand during hi-hat strokes. Sounds tricky, but you don't have to be ambidexterous to make it sounds cool.

BTW, I like that kit, very sharp!
[Off-topic] bangdrum:
Well I have two floor toms! I just meant it would be weird having it on my left side. But I think you're right. I have a mic stand on that side anyways for my vocals!
