[ltsoccer5]

[Cfight1]

[dsleeperhold]

[patton303]

I actually sold this kit to one of my students. : (

But I play for DDrum now and they're awesome drums. Check out my new kit in my video "A Tour of My Rig" to see it. -scott ;7

[MrCoolhwhip]

[GeneralHolmes91]

[thepersian204]

@GeneralHolmes91and warm too1

[patton303]

I'm wearing a jacket Sherlock....

But yes.. turtlenecks are very happy....

[edgarrubenvelasco]

@patton303

[robza2]

[patton303]

I'm not sure who that is.... : )

[bsarnold1]

WOW. Freakin sick man, that's awesome

[dtktjtx2]

[OldDrummer50]

***Kickin'*** I really like the sound!!!

[stujlfc]

some serious technical drumming there man!

keep in up mate

[DrummerJRim]

how do you make it a so much high quality sound on your camera?

[1BlakeMorris]

Do you notice the huge sound bored to the left of him, he is feeding through that

[DreamTheatreDrumming]

He's got mics set up.

[robotskater143]

awesome job!!! keep the beats jamming and the music playing!!!>D

[nickomack]

That's incredible man. I can feel some r&b and some blues and maybe a hint of jazz in there. Great playing. You've impressed this metal drummer. You're incredibly comfortable with your playing and you make it seem like you're not even trying. Fantastic. Keep it up.

[patton303]

Right on man.. thanks....

Check my other stuff if you're bored.

[kpfoto]

What's that small china? trashy!  nice!

[SilentBombr]

You remind me of myself, a lot better obviously lol. It's healthy to like your own playing style, you clearly enjoy what you're doing.

Peace

[StarclassicD]

that snares breathtaking

[TBRaysTORaptors]

The beat starting at 0:40 is awesome!

[hockeyislife6348]

udd be the sickest r&b drummer

[greatnessismyname]

ow much was your microphone set up with everything around, im looking at getting some mics soon

[gkatz9867]

Also are you using double bass or one pedal?

[patton303]

Single kick mate....

[iamleezy]

damn!

[gkatz9867]

Hey man, I want to have yoiur sound. What drum heads are you using? Is it that why it sounds so good. Please help me!

[greatnessismyname]

they have microphones mainly you can tell by his setup by the hi hat, he probably has them tuned well and good drums all around.

[gkatz9867]

Haha well it sounds beautiful. I wish I had money

[Kahlbom91]

you got great sound in your left china. Great playing, too man. Keep it up!

[cityofevil135]

I wish I was you

[KamikaziZ13]

What kind of china cymbal is that dude

[BYROM3YA]

Nice HiHat Bell at 01:59 Lol

[drummer62095]

what kind of heads do you use? really would like to know!

[kkkiwi]

My drumming is childish compared to this. You have truly mastered the drums. How do you make a single kick sound like a phat as double kick?

[indiadrummer]

I'd imagine just a shitload of practice :)

[everynameistaken567]

you have to realize that the way he has the drums recorded and mixed is making him sound alot better...not taking anything away from his playing, this guy definately has talent regardless

[rmahonz1]

i need to know what that ride is PLZ

some1 post!

[patton303]

it's a Zildjian 20" K Custom Heavy Ride.

[Viper19K]

so wat sticks do u use?

[Ngezi01]

what's on the headphones?

nice chops!

[laddieola101]

what mics did you use in the video? your drums sound amazing!

[patton303]

Audix, AKG and Sennheiser.

There's another video I have that has a way better mix.

It's called "Droppin Some DRUM Beats."

Check it out.

-s

[BYROM3YA]

what hihats are they scott ?

[patton303]

12" Zildjian Special Recording hats.

[Solidsnake107]

Dude ur awesome! 2:30 to 2:53 was wicked tight! u like using alot of quads?

[mattanddayne]

youve got rhythm.

mad respect

[Drummern869]

Amazing kit and amazing drummer!

[111lb111]

your drum sound crazy good man and your playing is great.

[YTisshit]

Yea i think hes too stiff too. Not so keen on him. After seeing your other videos i take that back. nice.

[YTisshit]

Dont get me wrong though. very good drumming.

[YTisshit]

You look like youve been watching too much thomas lang.

[hebronsawyers]

0:44 ...

[TechnicalPupu]

I would kill for a snare drum sounding like that without micing and effects. O.o

[monkinator66]

bro: i love my pearl omar hakim model. it is very responsive sonically and i really havent even started messing with different skins and snares. i do not really consider it a piccolo. that really doesn't describe it.

[drumdude360]

0:23

[drummertim666]

what kind of drums do you have?

[patton303]

I built this kit myself.

20x20 kick, 13x7 snare, 8" 10" 14" toms.

All maple.

I recently sold this kit to one of my students.

I'm playing for Ddrum now.

I have have another video on my channel that shows that kit.

Killer drums.

[ecrisosto]

How do you get such a nice sound on the vid?

[monkinator66]

drum brother: that was tight!

[drummertim666]

the sound of mic'd drums sounds so much tighter and makes it sound so much better. i do some of those beats and they sound alot different. great video.

[ajmmak]

this is awsome!

[whathappened020]

I dunno if i like this video or your other "droppin some beats" video more...

[eggrollz4u]

how do u tune your toms to sound like that??

[Buhzie15]

the magic of close micing...

[patton303]

And compression ... : )

[jacobdrummer123]

whats compression?

[Edordorito]

Its a digital effect that limits the sound the mics picks up, so you can remove ring or overtones from a tom.

[Buhzie15]

true that... and some nice gates :)

[DrewArcticMonkeys]

ive just finished playing my drums

and now cause of your inspiration you just make me wanna back and play again!!!

[chrislobo26]

hey man wht kit r u using?? sounds maaad!!!!

[littlephoenix1115]

thats the one he made himself... hes sold that one and now hes on a DDrum sponsorship

[vergadetoro]

dude you're becoming one of my biggest influences

[kursusOCB]

Excellent drumming !! What about broadcasting lessons ?

Patton rulezzz!!

[elpapilindo592]

YOU ARE DEFINITELY A SICK DRUMMER!!!! how long have you been doing it for man?? great stuff

[downwithpepper]

what kind of high hats you using?

[littlephoenix1115]

Zildjian Avedis series 12" special recording hats

[alonecats]

Youre The Best With Those Hihat Fills its genius.

[rockfordstudio]

Hey Scott I was wondering what you use for recording? Looks like a behringer board I see but I was wondering what kind of compressor limiter you use as well? holla back if you can! Thanx scott!

[patton303]

I used that Behringer console as a mic pre mixer. I then took that signal and routed it to my laptop and into Ableton Live6.

The comps and limiters I used were prolly Waves Mercury plugins. The C4 and the C1.

I really like the Sonnox Oxford plugins these days and can't wait to use them on my upcoming vids.

[SimonHackett88]

Absolute class...

[TerencePiano]

your drum set is tight

[turkadurka]

wow, sick beats and probably the best bass drum control i have ever seen. u should really be more well known

[Mbarr17]

how the hell do u get that good

[Guitarfool5931]

Is that an Audio Technica vocal mic you used for your Toms? I've never thought of doing that. If it is I might give that a try. I have some pretty cheap Audix f10's.

[patton303]

Not sure...

I think it was an AKG C2000B.

The is actually two more condensers above me and in front but you can't see em'.

The close mics on this kit are also Audix f series mics.

I honestly can't hear any difference between the f10-f12 and the D1 and D2.

I almost think they're the same mic. ;7

Check out my other drumming vids to hear more Audix goodness.

[ludwigdrummer521]

whats that on ur snare drum?

[Guitarfool5931]

IT's probably just tape.

[toejamandearl]

the first thing in the video baffles the hell out of me. The bass drum is so perfect that I can't actually tell what you're playing, I only know that its fast and sounds awesome. I've been trying to use doubles on the bass in fills, but trying to integrate it sucks. Any tips?

[vergadetoro]

man have you ever thought of playing in the guitar enter drum-off?? I really think you could win

[patton303]

I've judged a few here in Denver but nah...

I leave that stuff to you young punx.....

[vergadetoro]

nice...

[mallinson08]

I have a couple of problems with my kit and i tohught id ask here due to how fast you play on your snare. my snare ( a mapex m series ) the mesh at the bottem keep slipping and i have to tighten it up every 5 - 10 minutes? any ideaS? cheers

[SkIttle2The0]

get a new one....

[carlsbergahead]

Scott Davies - my fave drummer bar none.

[supermariodrums]

Scott, you are incredible I could listen to your stuff all day long. You are the drummer I want to aspire to be.

[XCambodiaGanGstA]

love the beats and love the sound of the drumset =]

[Mike1110111]

ddddddddddddddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mm that is awsome.... im jealous.

[chall3038]

Do you like brain mantia? You kick mad funk like him. I think you and him are now my favorties

[madamejam]

Awesome!!!!! Your set up looks so comfortable. What size bass drum do you have?

I have probably seen you play. I use to play with Ben Wah and the Blue Balls and Meadowlark Jivin a long time ago. I think we opened up for you once. You are even better now. As for Opie Gone Bad...I don't know what happened but in my opinion it is their lose.

Anyway keep up the good work.

Audree D

[crg12]

Can you please tell me what china it is??

[patton303]

12" WuHan

[chaser319]

great stuff man

[PilotOfNorway91]

I love off beats!! They sound so cool in high speed! :P

Great video, can't wait for more. ;)

[akaisurug]

wow..good stuff, the sounds are great, specially the hi-hat

[wolfy18]

that kit sounds perfect

[Bopkins14]

hey scott, would you mine havin a look at my vids, i just recently put some on here, tell me what you think, if you dont mind. i will be attending Musicians Institute in CA in the fall and i'm looking for some critiquing and advice, so i can better. i figured since your an awesome drummer you could help. so have a look and tell me what you think. thanks man.

peace!

[patton303]

I will man....

Give me a couple days to get back to you...

I'm slammed and I want to write a decent note...

[Bopkins14]

how do you do that fast double on your foot? heel toe or just craziness with the toe? i can't seem to get that fast with jut my teo. any suggestions. Great drumming too man.

[PearlMasterMMX]

nice stuff, i love drummers that arn't just bang bang bang bang look at me i can play rock and double kick! GREAT JOB!

[rotax69]

you have some real fukkin talent man not many people can play or thought of what you play

[bindik45]

I wanna see this guy and mike johnston have a hayday!

[loonytunezz]

y do ppl ask y kind of parrts or symbols etc....

find ur own type and element.... man no1 can immitate some1 else.. find ur own grroove and style

[higgyfoo]

parts and cymbals are a lot different from groove and style lol and if people like wot they hear, well that in essence contributes to their style.

[Stefan0n9]

Cool , you're very good ;)

[ikarooz]

We do find and have our own styles. However, you have to start somewhere and learn from everyone. Anyone that thinks they can do it alone is cheating themselves. The greats have mentors and most still take lessons.

[harrisezzat]

ur bass sounds really good compared alot of other people..

[eggrollz4u]

hey

whats ur china?

[TheDrummerB0Y]

What Kind of hi hats do you use?

[ilovemutemath]

Thanks much, man.

[ilovemutemath]

your kit sounds incredible.

what mics do you use?

[zaeengeorgedesouza12]

due ur fucking amazing!what snare is that an at heads are u using?

[ibanezkid07]

damn dude

you got skill

whats your fav genre?

[st8ofeuporia420]

Awesome drumming man. I've been playing for a while now and I'm real fast but I've been trying to find new funky beats like you do. You should post up a video showing what exactly your doing on some of those beats because I can't figure it out.

[TheCrowingIV]

What heads do you use on your toms? Weatherking?

And do you use the remo dot on your snare? or are my eyes all messed up?

[academy999]

what kind of set is this???

[khangboi69]

double bass is fun...these guys are still REALLY good for how fast they could play just w/ a single....i still needa work on my stuff....just recently in guitar center in madison...there was there mad drummer....its pretty cool

[PilotOfNorway91]

To be honest, I love your videos, but I love your off-beats the most. xD

*****

[thedrumster1990]

thats cool, i play and tried to play and could only get 4 respectable notes out at a time so i quit and am working on single bass chops now!!!!

[JonJ212]

that was amazing man, what make is that set?

cheers-jonj

[blindedchild]

I still need my twin pedal when drumming, well i think it depends on what kind of song that we're goin to play..lol

[thedrumster1990]

imagine what this guy could do with a double bass!!!

[delliejonut]

probably be much less musical. I'd rather not.

[tomdrums88]

Really nice stuff,i was just wondering if you had any tips on improving single bass speed? cos i used to rely on double bass but it started to get in the way of my developing,cheers

[dfl07]

Hey do you do any session work, or are you just an awesome hobbiest?

[pigtelevision]

fun, extra fun. it takes the formula of lots of spare time and nice neighbors (in most cases) vedy nice. there is no better substitute for quick apply, creative projection with random variations of expression.

[patton303]

Oh you can be sure my neighbors hate my guts...

The ironic thing is that they're partying college kids. I love to practice just as soon as they wake up from a night of beer bongs.....

[Metal55676]

yeah no joke your sound quality is at its highest point in these vids of yours and thats rare in most cases yeah are you a band if so they are lucky to have you!! nice job

[AngryBeaver295]

Any tuning tips to make my drums sound anything like that without mics and boards?

[bareftjacky]

props to you, sir. I love your style. Real creative, switch it up , love it. But thats obvious, your striaght up good.

One thing..I strive to one day have my drums sounds as good as yours. haha. great work man.

[PearlDrummer123456]

i wish one day i get to be as amazing as u are:(...great job...

peace.

[simelius]

never get bored to listen your playing. you're very creative drummer!

[Demetris85]

u got a nice sound there, especially your kick

[itsLOGO]

like your china much?

haha me 2..is it the wuhan thing?

[patton303]

yep....

12" WuHan

There's also a 20" one you can't see.

[BlatantSpy]

[MarceloPinex]

nice drumming dude!!, I love the sound of that set.. I wonder what drummers are your main influences?

[patton303]

Thanks man..

I'm a Stewart Copeland/John Bonham guy...

:)

[ksotiroff]

Fast take off, smooth flight, and clean landing. Those engines sound great. You're a helluva pilot!

[patton303]

Best compliment I ever got...

haha thanks

[Olah92sVids]

I so want to be able to drum like you!!!!

[Warehouse0127]

that really sounds like such a fined tuned set....

[argl2000]

What a beat ! I've enjoyed your way of playing, there are a lot of technic but also groove.
