Performing "Textures" by Cynic on my Roland TD3.

[SLOWBURN420]

dude , you look like sean reinerts twin bro..lol

[biffen89]

@SLOWBURN420 I was just about to say that! :D

[ilovemypetrockbrian]

Nice job. Does the TD3 have the dual triggering on the pads like some of the others like the TD6 and TD9?

[Psycopatologic]

amazing

[timoctober]

awesome!!

[L0ve4music4life]

Niiiiiiiiiice bro. I need to get me one of these kits!

[ANIBALENRIQUEZ]

Hi man i'm going to buy a td3 electric drums but i dont know how good is it? please tell me your opinion your ventages and disadventages

[franklyn77]

nice dude..very nice...but more slack...;)

[dhtboot]

ja robin is ook de live bassist... en sean doet het studio werk, hij wil/kan niet touren ofzo. maar maybee neemt robin dat ook over op het volgende album!

[dhtboot]

wrong basdrum pattern from 0:58, listen good to the track.

i'm also busy figure out the song with my teacher... and i know cynics bassplayer robin =D he's lives just a few blooks away here in holland

but nice job!

[antipunx]

back then it was Sean Malone

[polishcomedy]

hey, do you have the drum score for this? thanks!

[stradale13]

Sorry, learned it by listening over and over. I should have written out the chart, I could have learned it more accurately.

[mrtinkletits]

thats awesome man! and nice mastodon shirt :D

[lelobm]

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGREAT!!!!

[mfopeth]

congratulations man!! keep rocking!!

[danielpeci]

so stiff and unflowing

[loganyorkdockery]

which you liek better the acoustic drum or eletric?

[remistofeles]

being a long time cynic fan, gotta say that your interpretation is pretty good, but you MUST pay attention to the "stiffness" thing other ppl are saying. This song gotta "flow" through, and there are some parts in wich it seems you're un crack :-D

[SuperBSk8r]

im thinking of picking this kit up and i was woundering 2 things 1. how responsive is the stock kick trigger, many misses or double hits 2. how tall are you and does the set feel cramped at all im about 5,11 and ive heard some people complain about it being cramped thank you

[crissglitch666]

I can provide that answer as I have one of my own. The kick is great. I bought a used kit so for me it misses very rarely. Never any misses or double hits on the pads. I am 6'1 and yes, sometimes it feels cramped for me.

[Louis0nFire]

Hey, i'm thinking of buying this. Should I get this or the Yamaha DTXPress IV. They are both $1,000 US dollars. What do you think? Thanks.

[ridder1705]

Get roland, Roland is way better, pads and modules destroy em...

[bayulebih]

hey i'm thinking the same way, but i think i'm going for td-3 after comparing in youtube.. i'll do a comparison once more with the real kit.. hey it's been 2 month ago since ure asking this, which kit do you buy? :-)

[ridder1705]

Sick Mastodon shirt my friend!

Bran(the drummer) is amazing, I love his style.

[jobeyoung]

well done fella i love that song...shit hot drumming!!!

[sbcslayer]

stiff and cramped

[607995]

I was thinking about getting this kit. One question though, does the double bass pedal fit well?

[stradale13]

Yes, you just have to swivel the left leg of the stand and you should be fine.

[Acrimonious]

Do you experience any problem with the hihats and the controller?

[133serge13318]

yeha im gonna kill mine if hes gonna act like this forever , i have a td3 also but not this high hat i use the same pad for high hat as toms. but that foot thingy is so hard to close at my place, maybe its broken or something i dont know , sucks

[stradale13]

yeah its not terribly accurate but for the money there is simply no better electronic kit

[DeepClue]

You look incredibly cramped... Need a bigger set! :)

[wrestlegod4]

just got that kit the best one eva

[maxarman]

kill the splash... 1/5

[dragul777]

WOOO, man, SKILLZ!!!!

[phily880]

Textures by cynic is my favorite song and you where eccelent on the drums

[Mossinate]

Well done. You are dead on the whole way through.

[pristhi]

Are you a Pig Monster Crazy Man .....

[semihere]

Have you tried playing any Fantomas? Should be a worthy challenge for you :)

[Typhoon830]

Sweet Drummin M8!

Amazin!

[bplus1plus1]

Great drumming man! I just started lessons myself and I'm probably going to buy a TD3. (That's how I found this video btw)

You also made me want to listen to Cynic more.

ps; It never ceases to amaze me how many retards there are on youtube comment sections. :(

[XtrenchfootX]

woahg man nice i was guna judge u by the mess up at yhe start but i wtched the whole thing tth was sickk dude

[DarkHannes9]

wow, you are great

[pipismotocross]

can you please tell me if the pads are making too much noise?i mean will they be annoying to my neighboors?i m sorry for my english if they are don't right...

[stradale13]

It has a headphone jack, so it is very neighbor friendly. Without the headphones, its only as loud as the amplifier its connected to.

[pipismotocross]

thanks...do you think that is a good kit to buy?because i think to buy it or buy the yamaha dtxplorer or the alesis dm5 pro.what kit do you suggest?I want a kit that don't make noise when i play with headphones...

[pipismotocross]

can you please tell me if the pads are annoying were they re hitted?do they make much noise?i m sorry for my english if they're don't right...

[Hellwin]

Fuck m all dude.

Amazing drumming!!

[uhohlookwhoshere]

guys leave him alone. The sync often comes out poorly, it doesnt me he wasnt playing it.

[scon10big0]

i know all these people are giving you a hard time but i thought you did an excellent job. keep it up.

[dariusb23]

thre are three reasons why i think metallica influence cynic alot. that heavy part that repeats into a clean section at the end. reminicent of "to live is to die". in the 1991 version of uroboric forms there is a bend in the opening riff copying that distinctive bend in the opening of "sad but true" and in their new song "evolutionary sleeper" the into if it had lars ulrich slowly fading in on a steady 4/4 is very "orion"-like

[dariusb23]

yeah ive seen this a 2nd time. you recorded this song perhaps at 75% original speed got it perfect then changed the playback speed to match the original recording

[stradale13]

Umm, no. Youtube has trouble with their uploader syncing audio and video perfectly. I know there's a lot of mistakes, but I did play at full speed.

[StephenPetersen]

dont be ridiculous dude.

[dariusb23]

get a life stephenpetersen. you know it would help you.

to stradale13. it would help you explained why your footage is funny looking. at 0:41 the way you turned on your seat was strange looking like it was sped up. if you can play this song on the drums then sure i give you credit for being better than me. but i was refering to the visual side of it

[StephenPetersen]

i have a life thank you. and he already explained why you stupid retard. maybe if you would read you would know why.

[dariusb23]

no you dont sorry. but regarding him already explaining that. he replied to me saying youtube has a problem but since no other videos have this problem then he needs to look at why it only effected his.

anyway i was suggesting he write that in the introduction. he hasn't put any information there about it.

so look you dont understand whats being discussed here. leave it alone

[StephenPetersen]

you dont even know me fuck face.

[stradale13]

Dude there are a MILLION other reasons it could look out of sync, the very least of which is that I recorded it at "half speed". If you say this doesn't happen on the millions of other videos on YouTube, then fine. Its probably the program I used to re-encode the video from an AVI to a WMV. If you're THAT sure that I "faked" it then I can send you an upload of the original raw AVI file.

Now let's put this issue to bed srsly.

[dariusb23]

million reasons yeah right. so when your wife asks why you didn't bring home the shopping you say. "there are a million reasons why i couldn't do it"

[b1ink182]

how is that relevent dickhead?

[dariusb23]

shut up you idiot

[b1ink182]

no, you fuck off you little fuckass, if you dont like it then dont comment loser fuckhead

[dariusb23]

do you understand the fist?

[Jabberwockee]

this looks sped up somehow... o.O

[dariusb23]

i agree with you. the cymbals and the way the head moves look strange. either a flaw in the recording or sped up

[mikerules111]

lol exact same here dude!!! :) not only was i in GC and i play guitar,but i am ALSO looking for cheap electronic drums...woah weird huh?

[pantera71692]

This one is like.. $995.00 I have it.

[Ledzeppelin926]

5 stars

[MASVID]

THats a great guitar work

[Mahavishnu80]

when i do rim clicks with the both ends of the stick on i sometimes dont get the rim shot to come out..do you get that?

[eyescalledbeauty]

What are the advantages of the mesh head snare? I know it was built to feel more like an acoustic snare, but does it affect how well it plays?

[stradale13]

The mesh head feels almost exactly like a real drum head on a real drum. There is NO better trigger imo.

[eyescalledbeauty]

ok... but do the mesh heads affect the playability. How well the pad plays? Is it easier for the trigger to pick up rolls on a mesh head compared to a rubber pad?

[hellios78]

Damn dude! People like you keeping the metal scene alive by your hard work and dedication!!!

[10780ZUCCA]

it's in 6\8.......not 4\4...... re-study this song dude....( i perfectly know this is a fucking difficult piece4.... but do it right or don't do it.....)....bye

[stradale13]

Actually the beginning is in 9/8, and the heavy part is 6/8 and 5/8 mixed meter. The groove section in the middle IS in 4/4 and the slow section is in 7/4.

Clear enough for ya?

[kjv2286]

my favorite song off the album, off in some spots but damn good

[JdChirinos]

Close enough

[knowyourenemy123]

good work

[Eaquitas]

Great performance, man!

Watching a musician intently, especially during a piece as complex as this, gives the song a whole new dimension.

If only i had a band capable of doing something like 'Textures'... My graduation recital (guitar degree) was pretty much all about that piece, but i had to prep an 8-track playback in advance just to cover up the drums, bass and chapman stick :).

Great job.

[ListenKy]

tip: UP your drum throne

will be better ;D

[fabrizioofabrizio]

very good... I haven't words for this

[browser293]

Not even close!

[Rexonius]

you are correct!

[madroxounds]

Really enjoyed watching that dude, great job.

[tattoedsoul]

accidently pressed enter..... GOOD JOB MAN, NICE DRUMMING

[aristix6]

not exactly my fave style of music...but AWESOME drumming!

[tattoedsoul]

It all came from the mind of Sean Reinert... good drummer, check him out in AEON SPOKE

[thepot23]

is that a mastodon shirt I see ;)?

[nirvfan81]

can you set up those drums with double bass? that would be sweet

[DragonSlayerJ]

it has a double kick pedal

[stradale13]

Thanks for the kind words fellas.

And I'd be more than happy to trade resumes with the troll, if he'd like.

[stradale13]

Its the newest model.

Go to Roland's website and search for the PDX-8. Thats the pad in my video.

You can probably buy just the pad from somewhere and it should work with your TD3 module.

[Avisale]

You need a teacher and study.

Bad drummer.

Bye

[basolfjeld]

Part of what makes Sean Reinert a unique metal drummer, is his Jazz inspiration and technique.. And i fear you fall through, and show your weakness in that area (looked at the acoustic vid too). Kudos for musictaste and effort, but my general impression was that you haven't payed enough attention when listening to it, because you play a lot of things different (not neccessarily a bad thing of course, but in many cases here, easier than the original).

[stradale13]

I worked on this for two weeks. On and off. I have played in NUMEROUS jazz groups, small to big band, and have a degree in percussion from Eastern Illinois University. I guess now I will have to upload a video of me playing some jazz to prove your statement wrong.

[basolfjeld]

Hehe.. I never said you didn't have any jazz education/experience, which I guess you do then. But my impression is still that you lack the dynamics and groove this song has in it. Where is the jazz bounce and double strokes!? 2 weeks is a short time, and by all means put out more videos to prove me wrong. I'm not trying to personally offend you, just telling you my honest opinion. Keep on drumming.

[walma1976]

vai in mmoona...2!

[Thomm22]

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!!

[SlitYourGuts5989]

Awesome, and nice Mastodon shirt.

[lelisandro]

nice!!!

[jeffreycollins]

Keep up with that stuff bro. You definitely made me wanna get in a Cynic cover band with ya on that one. But I don't really know any of their stuff...How bout some KC? Can you do any of their stuff?

[pietrosld]

great ! and great shirt \,,,/_

[angelfer82]

very nice men.!!!you should try with UROBORIC FORMS...I wanna see the double bass speed at the end....cheers men...you have future!!

[DevWil]

it's definitely not perfect, but it's a great effort towards playing the work of an absolutely mind-blowing drummer.

[Stillillgal]

take some leasons dude

you have it...

but for me it was just ok

[royalsteezrocks]

Maybe you should think about being a construction worker instead of a drummer! WHERE"S THE GROOVE DUDE?!

[stradale13]

Ummm, who the hell are you? GTFO.

[pinecitybabe]

quite sick dude, nice dynamic playing on a TD3. ps your headphones are for pussies hee hee tee hee

[lutschilutsch]

I like ya feeeeeets!! ;-)

[skilldren]

Badass, man. You me and the eagle nature bass player need to start a cynic cover band :)

[Tranxhead]

Brilliant. Sounds very accurate.

[wispgradde]

Wow, first Cynic drum-cover I've seen. And it's awsome :) Good work!

[pinecitybabe]

pinecitybabe says your hands are faster than than lightning!

[Rg76215150]

[Brisket]

That was fucking awesome dude.
