  • whos the man playing at the beggining of the video??

  • Thanks Kevin.

  • the challenge as a musician on another instrument is being able to keep time with a drummer that is doing stuff like this.

    That is mos def a BIG struggle for me.

  • lush cymbals

  • this is kind a weird to me

  • kevin is so cold dude you will tennessee on lock dude dang

  • what kind of cymbals are those

  • VERY NICE BROTHER

  • Kevin YOU ARE THE MAN>>>>>>>>... PEACE

  • drummasheen1, Remember me? THIS IS FATEFUL5, the theory still lives! Still love this vid to the hilt!

  • Same groove Stevie Wonders Higher Ground was based off. Gotta Love it...

  • dang.. kevin haydenz bomb yo'!!!

  • Try to displace the accent doing 16th notes, sounds amazing too

  • one day i shall have the SKILLZ! i get the displacement thing and can do the basic accent on 2 beat but then this dude jumps to crazy freestyle shit!

  • its difficult.

  • Is that left crash a Sabian HHX X-treme crash?

  • HIS SWAGGER OMG DUDE...

  • DAS WUT IM SAYIN AS FAR AS DRUMS

  • Cool rims on the snare man? Tasty stuff.. Be seeing you later in the year..

    Peace. Stephan.

  • hey kevin this is jermane, ricardo roper's son. just stopping by and helping a brother out

  • what kind of cymbals are these in this video...those crashes sound great

  • Agreed! Very washy sound, love it.

  • they look like sabian HHX cymbals

  • Is that a 6 or 8 inch splash?

  • black people kick ass at drums

    i wish i was this good!

  • Huh homie????

  • iss a couple of white people who kick a 2 lol

  • Check out sly and family stones drummer

  • @killingmanbearpig

    Akira Jimbo, Jojo Mayer, Steve Gadd, Terry Bozzio, Thomas Lang, Marco Mineman, Dave Weckl and Charly Antolini look all pretty pale to me... Practice rather than colour, is the key to being good at anything.

  • Kevin i really thank you for showing the off timeing that has been really helpful to me

  • thanks man i love that feel i will definately be using that

  • Great time + feel, dude. Keep it up

  • thanks for the tip because I really play by ear, keep what your'e doing bro!

  • anybody gettin screwed up on the time should watch this video of calvin rodgers playing this song called "tell the devil I'm Back" thats where he's getting that loop from so u can feel the song and basis of wut he's doin'

  • Where did you see the video? I couldn't find it on youtube (maybe lookin' too fast for it, but calvin rogers + devil didn't bring up the result). Thanks.

  • i dont get it but it

  • no man those cymbals sound awesome.

  • nice!

  • is this guy from milwaukee

  • ...Not only that, but also in 12/8, in order to count a good "boom-clap", you'd have to group the icti in THREES: ONE-2-3-FOUR-5-6-SEVEN-8-9-TEN­-11-12: ONE! Then try to catch the displacement all at the same instance (duple-triple). 1-TWO-3-4-FIVE-6-7-EIGHT-9-10-­ELEVEN-12: 1. None of it's good, because there's no natural grouping of the ictus OR the triplets to where they can flow rhythmically. To all who said it was 12/8, incorrect! Not 2offend; "K.I.S.S--Keep It Simple, Stupid."

  • Bravo!!!

  • I'm sorry, but I insist that you're mistaken here. 12/8 has am ictus: it's in 4. It's the compound meter version of 4/4. When you conduct in 12/8, you conduct in 4. The difference is that the natural subdivision of the beat is always into three parts, rather than two. Playing in 12/8 does not mean you count to twelve; you count to four, only it's ONE-and-a-TWO-and-a-THREE-and-­a-FOUR-and-a, as opposed to ONE-and-TWO-and etc.

  • The advantage of considering the beat in 12/8 is that it eliminates the need to consider multiple subdivisions of each beat. If you consider it 4/4, there's an inherent assumption that the default subdivision of the beat, which he isn't playing, is in two, which contradicts the subdivision he never abandons, three. In my mind, that is far less simple (K.I.S.S.) than just thinking about it in 12/8 and not worrying about subdividing the beat in multiple ways.

  • 12/8, I say, is not this count. This is 4/4 with triplets. Even in conducting, 12/8 must be broken down to its common ictus, in which THERE IS NONE in 12/8. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12:1-2­-3...and so on. In conducting (and in how he's playing), 4/4 with triplets suits the count because you'd ending up on the beat EVERYTIME. 1-2-3-4: 1-LA-li-2-LA-li-3-LA-li-4-LA-l­i; tri-PLE-let, tri-PLE-let! Counting in 12/8 retires the conducting as well as the groove...

  • Believe it OR NOT...You can say that's 12/8, but you're thinking TOO HARD. 4/4 with emphasis on the 2 of a triplet pattern is what u can say...At the beginning, that's what u hear. Good deal, Kevin! That groove is 1 clap 3 clap! FOUR! And yes, in a fast 4/4, tri-PLE-let, tri-PLE-let, where the emphasis. To say "12/8" is to retire the groove early. Make it easy on the groove itself, calling it 4/4 with triplets or 6/8 with duple meter. 12/8? Your arms'll fall off; tiring. Ciao.

  • I think a more simple version of what your saying is...it is in four. For every quarter note, he is playing triplets. For alot of those licks he is just accenting the 2nd part of the triplet...tri-PA-lit. Either way, good explanation.

  • dont worry about the hataz

  • Dis cat doesn't know wat he is talkin about and my man pastorjacob is def not hatin cause he will slay dis dude straight up...God Bless!!

  • yeah!!!

  • esa wea esta en 12/8, jodete

  • thats great kev but that groove is actually in 12/8 so it would be more of an 8th note accent displacement

  • Listen man. I didnt phrase it as a 12/8 on purpose. If I did that, then I couldnt group the eighth notes as TRI-PLE-LETS. Dont try to re-phrase my lesson man! Be blessed

  • yeah but when u phrase the entire groove like that then the entire beat value also changes. and also i was referring to the song that you played to which IS in 12/8. and trust im not hatin just tryin to shed some light and not let ur lesson be false

  • He's right man, the whole groove is in 12/8, they aren't triplets but 8th notes. Compound meter vs. simple meter. Great playing though, learned a lot

  • Whoa you counted that in 12/8, tell me where you started!!

  • If you feel that you are not "hatin" as you say,then why say that you aren't "tryin" to to hate... STOP hatinig on my fam. Listen and learn. Be Blessed...

  • hey dont get nervous man, there´s always room for possitive critizism, the dude plays amazin but I also think he messed up a bit with the semantics. No problem there sometimes it´s harder to explain something than to actually play it. Props to drum masheen nice feel you got, just dont get so sensitive man

  • WAZ GOOD KEV!! I SEE YOU MAN!

  • WHOOOOOOO!!!!yEAH!!!!

  • where can i get a wooden rim like dat 4 mi snare

  • tha's my boy, can't wait til you come back da fort so we can shed
