Beautiful playing!

Impeccable playing Fran - subtle, yet explosive when needed. Great sounding kit too, especially that 2nd tom!

@MrTconga Thanks man!! Great sharing that laugh with you!! You take care as well!

[funky2714]

@MrTconga DUDE!!!! RIGHT???!!!!! The very beginning right?? I was saying the same thing to myself when I was doing the track!! I figured is was just my twisted mind to be reminded of that theme song by such an amazing piece of music!! SO GLAD you said that man!!! LOL!!!

This one is the best so far. The feeling that you have when you're playing this is amazing, I can sense that. Makes me want to take up drumming again... thanks Fran.

@TxMKrypted YOU BETCHA!!! I won't play ANYTHING else EVER!! I have tried all the rest and in my opinion, Remo heads are the best for the sound that I am looking for! There is a list of my gear in the description of the video if you want to check it out.

Thanks for the compliment!

@funky2714 Oh and BTW - let's not forget about the drums!! SONOR Force 2007 Birch. AMAZING for the money!! SONOR Essential force is the new Force 2007! Check them out. SERIOUS sounding drums for the money!

Sorry to trouble you frank but i have a question, at 0.54/55, you play a lick going from the 2nd to the floor tom (and i believe there's a kick drum note added at the end as well) was it like a 3 note ruff going from the high tom to low to kick? E.g: L R K ?

Hope you can reply, thanks alot.

[funky2714]

@unclenabe Its actually 4 strokes, rlrk. The figure is a 16th note triplet starting on the and of 4 ending with the kick on 1. You could call it a 4 stroke ruff. R-12" Tom, L - 10" Tom, R- 14" Tom, Kick.

Thanks for taking the time to check out the video and thanks for your question!!
