[digitaldown]

[mrsinister03]

that just sounds really wierd.......good offer though

[Doinstuffman38]

Cool drum kit, fiberskin heads, Star wars and funk. Who could ask for more?

[Divinecyphr]

OMG!!! I Love the Darkside!!!

[NerfLad]

Great drumming and arrangement of the tune, but one thing: Darth Vader was already around in the 70's!

:P

(A New Hope came out in 1977)

[jurassicraptor111]

@NerfLad yes but the imperial march was not heard untill the empire strikes back which was early 80's

[NerfLad]

doh! thanks :)

[DancingMonkey12]

damn those fiberskyns sound good!

[dondongo86]

Nice Job! I am not much of a Star Wars fan, but I have always liked that theme. As I am a drummer, I enjoyed listening to your improvising and syncopation. As a guitarist, I was happy to hear a defined style in the rhythm. As a listener, I am satisfied. Again, great job.

[Pearldxpro]

what kind of drum heads you using?

[boket5u]

@Pearldxpro remo fyberskin

[elwoodmusic]

kewl...

[696JOSHGWAH696]

[azimuth361]

Dig the minimalist kit. Less is more.

[Bendoengbanaang]

fiberskyns yeah

[dvader247]

Lol cool

[Roelthedrummer]

nice ! really funky :-) awesome style!

[xzentriz]

You´re a good drummer. There were some really nicegrooves with in this theme. But you have to bring it to a round figure. it stumbles a little bit.

[Chrisofphysics]

Hmmmm, I guess I'm the only one who didn't really like it. I thought the drums sounded kickass, and it was actually pretty cool, but I just couldn't get into the rhythm. I guess I'm not that kind of drummer. Hahahaha.

[narekasadorian]

those drums sound amazing especially the snare

[vincefryer]

wicked cool!

thanks for sharing :D

[twirlyboggs]

i dig your approach to this - groovy feel

[DavidT0222]

sounds great man... i would look at how far your tom and cymbal is away from you though... looks like your reaching alittle bit.. but maybe not... thats all :)

[drummer43210]

THey sound great... how are they tuned?

[GibsFrozen]

hey

cool fiberskyn heads

looks like they're...dirty :D

[carazide]

This is awsome, wish you would do it with more classic tunes and upload it on youtube :D

[drumfreak12345]

man im really digging those heads, what kind? vid was really cool

[johnnyonline]

they're remo fiberskyns.. basically synthetic calfskin.. they're pretty cool.

[j054uaj054ua]

@johnnyonline The most resilient snare head I've ever owned, that's for sure.

[FlyBikes9893]

@drumfreak12345 Agreed

[doedoe181]

lol. wow this is sooooo kool! DARTH VADER RULEZ!!!

[KillaKamu]

lol that rocked man... gj

[joeljjison]

you snare work over the bass theme is a wee bit samba.. and lets face it ... this drumming over imperial doesnt work. BUT- its ingenious! its great! i love it!

[johnnyonline]

haha.. thanks, it was something stupid i did last year, and wasn't actually going to upload it at all. but then with all the other stupid star wars stuff i've seen up on youtube i figured it couldn't hurt.. lol

[SpineHunt]

@johnnyonline It worked perfect. Great creativity mate!

[allthatremainsrulz]

man that is sooo cool. i was thinking of doing some star wars song when i get my camera and stuff. nice job of keeping the beat too. it must have been hard to come up with a beat for that.

[DaMadBlaqDrumma]

i am losing count. how many kits do you have?

[johnnyonline]

this is my pearl masters.. a 4 piece. i also have a pearl export, a 6 piece. only 2 main kits.. i have a little kids kit made by dolphin, sort of as a joke, but i've done it up and it plays ok.

[killerclair]

your technique is spot on, i say that partly out off my ass because i know barely anything about drums, but, i am impressed.

and the imperial march? you are a man after my own heart.

[EpleKul]

Awesome!

- I'll make sure to do something similiar sometime for a video response!

Thanks for the idea!

[johnnyonline]

that would be awesome! i'm subscribing to see what you come up with!

[randy0987]

nice drumming, how long have you been playing?

[johnnyonline]

about 16 years now.. since i was 12

[surferdaze]

Im suprised that wacky spricket girl did not comment on this one.

[Evangelo04]

dude thats really cool

u should have uploaded it last year

[nickwelsh]

another great vid. how about a lesson on tuning the drums? with a jam at the end of course.

[adzug]

nice camera angle, good groove, but i miss the instructional vids like the rllrrlr drill. that was very cool n simple.

[webmasterdrummer]

what remos are those heads?

[benjamintruesdale]

Fiberskyn

[Taesyblueeyes]
