[J2Drummer]

How are Those Heads Working For You?! I Have This Kit And The Stock Heads Were Destroyed After A Couple of Days!? Do you Recommend Those Evans?!

[Zombinomio4]

Really nice man ! Do you use only 4 mics for the whole drum kit?

[paps8]

@Zombinomio4 Yep, That's it until I can afford more.

[eltambore]

Smooth chops man!! Beautiful sound too!

[eliruben123]

Have you had any problems with the crush kit? I'm looking into one

[paps8]

@eliruben123 None other than the stock heads being shit. I replaced them with Evans EC2s an dthey sound great.

[f2theorrest]

Sooo clean man! Really sick ideas, and you are so free around the kit!

I really want to hear you tear it up in a band man.

[paps8]

@f2theorrest Thanks man, me too, but It's so rough finding musicians in my area.

[enacer]

[413smottob]

Great stuff man!!!

[inconnector]

Sounds pretty good, but musically - you're overdoing it.

[paps8]

@inconnector Thank you, but who's to say how much "doing" is considered musical?

[paps8]

@inconnector I like the smiley faces, we're on good terms :) I'm super aware of my flaws. Since anyone with internet access can say whatever they want, it's difficult to tell whether or not a person nitpicking is informed enough to make accurate assesments. This is not something people would dance to, but most people don't train their ears to pick up on subtle rhythmic manipulation. If the listener hears nothing but a scrambled mess of notes, they should question their own comprehension as well.

[inconnector]

@paps8 Oh I hear the structure alright, and I'm also aware of the flaws. To be quite honest, you're probably way better than me. But I wouldn't dream about putting a video of me playing if I wasn't sure it was perfect. Otherwise I would know that I'n in for some flak.

But really, this is well-intentioned.

[inconnector]

@paps8 FYI, this is what you're being judged against, just so you know I'm a tough nut to please ;)

[paps8]

@inconnector What? I was expecting the links to lead me to something crazier. Drew is great, but the Triplet groove vid is basically a "how to" video on a simplified version of the recurring groove I'm doing here.

[inconnector]

@paps8 Yeah, but see - Drew has a great feel and doesn't miss a note. Your video has scores of moments where you're obviously struggling with what to do next, and I can feel every millisecond that you hesitate. It makes me uncomfortable, and makes me realize that something is off.

[paps8]

@inconnector I suppose this would make you feel violated lol:

[inconnector]

@paps8 Honestly, the musicality of that goes right over my head.

I love some structure to the music I enjoy. It doesn't have to be 4x4, but some semblance of coherence must be present.

That video just sounds like free-form-impro-technique-fap-­session.

[pootershnitzel]

@inconnector "I don't know what shedding means"

[inconnector]

@pootershnitzel Yes, I do. And this video still sounds like a sped up version of this: /watch?v=59bYYbmAux0

[paps8]

@inconnector Lol Yes, that is exactly how I sound......... This isn't my best playing by far, but come on, really?

[inconnector]

@paps8 Heh, I told you I think you are pretty good. I just hate being provoked :)

[inconnector]

@paps8 You obviously have some technical skills but you want to do too much when it's not that well ingrained. ...the result is that you missplay a lot of beats here.It's nothing that practice can't fix.

I'm just saying this so you don't get lulled into feeling you're awesome when there's still a long way ahead.

Just keep it up and you'll be fine :):):)

[pootershnitzel]

@inconnector he sheddin' bahhh
