gosh haters!!!!!! SHHHHHHHH hes not the most technical drummer but the style is awesome!!!!!!! its not really what u know its who u know........ that why hes the one with a endorsment and your not.
around 0:36 when he does the trick around his head does any one elese noitice that he hits the cymbal to the left when he does that......just amazing!!
Guys this is a song, not a solo. To judge someone's chops merely based on a song they're playing is stupid. He was tight as fuck and that's called passion my friends
If I were SABIAN, I'd charge this guy every time he played my cymbals. This is a clear cut example of how NOT to use your hardware. And yes, that thing in front of you at 2:20 IS a drumstick, not a hammer.
To me if your worrying more about how many times you can flip a god dam stick rather than concentrating on grooving in the pocket then you should be swapping your drum kit for a marching snare. Check out John Blackwell Junior if you want to see how a real drummer flips his sticks around a drum kit!
He's not even gonna die from a disease or old age, he's gonna die from accidentally stabbing himself in the head while flailing this sticks around. Damn.

Honestly, I think this guy sucks. Sure he can throw his sticks around and act strange when he plays, but thats not much skill. Yes it is hard to do what he does, but considering him as being great is to far. Look at Thomas Lang, he's an amazing player and he can flip the stick around.
To put it in simple terms, it's very similar to, but with a bit easier playing, to Shannon Larkin of Godsmack. Work on getting the song down and then slowly add whatever showmanship desired without compromising on the actual playing.

Haters should shut up. It's not what you play it's how you play it. This guy could be a poster boy for that statement.

It's amazing how much theatrics like that add add to his drumming. A simple rock beat can sound sick if you do stuff like that while you're playing.
