excellent stuff man!!.......i really wanna get you to play drums for my "yet to be band".....i wanna make a big band....just like EWF and do it all over again!!.......i love EWF for life!!!
This is pretty good. The shuffle gets you off a beat a few times though. Don't try to do so much with the fills and things. Also, I'd try some ride in the intro just to give it more body.
you're really good dude... some people can just be over critical about skills they wish they had... i totally hate you because you're so damn good (it's a compliment i swear)
I don't know what ya'll are talking about, this kid is playing hella tight and playing wayyy too many unfunky fills. Just lay back and feel the groove, loosen up a bit, it's not a difficult song. No need to try and squeeze in as many notes as possible.
It's not about race creed or colour, music unites us as on no matter what. Coming from a white guy who is an old funkster, your talent is there for all to see. I've just seen Earth Wind and Fire on the Box and this still lifts every hair on my body. Great work amigo. Believe.
hey! good work man! maybe try to get away from too many closed rolls... this song is an example for a kind of simple way it has to be played by each band member that it can become "fat"... But only if everyone blends well with each other and respects the play of the other.
When u r playing on a track like this u may not stand out too much, every producer would kick u out of his studio if u can´t make it clean, simple but also with a lot of pressure and timing. U understand? Keep up your good work man!! U r a good drummer!
but if you dont have any talent at all, any musicality, learning will be infinitely harder for you than for any other person. it's all a question of how much time you want to spend.
well u are young keep workin out critics will make go further if u take it positively and for your drumming don't do too much now what have to learn first is rytm before learning technics....from a drummer
good work. my reccomendation is to work on your pocket some more... a good way to stick it in better is lay off all the ruffs and drags and chop-y stuff and work on being snappier
WHATA FLEK ARE YOU DOIN BOYY....You should leave the roffel thingies...it doesnt sound funky..But keep up the good work...;) and the music is awesome!!!
Nice work. A little too busy work going on. Have a good listen to the original. He doesn't do alot but the groove is there. And i also agree with failureobject in your a little stiff with the arms. Loosen up and feel the groooove. =D
Heh, yeah i see what you mean. I'm not saying it's bad, it's very good, i was just giving some advice on how to make it groove. Heh YYZ and earth wind and fire are quite different styles of playing. lol
This is a good song to tighten your rhythm with. Keep up the good work.
