[madarasz187]

köszönöm



[theMushroom]

what kind of cowbell is the right feet one??

[suziaconis1]

hes not that good trust me you wanna see good type in dave weckl,vinnie caluaita,steve gadd these are the guys.

[sweetfly66]

@suziaconis1 ... you know , that is like saying nobody besides Michael Jordan , Kobe Bryant , and Lebron James are any good at basketball

[sweetfly66]

i liked this solo ... i think that his time is pretty good and his phrasing is pretty good as well ... the weak link in his playing is that I think his ideas are sort of average .. dont get me wrong , he played all of his ideas very well ..nothing wrong with the way he played , its just that i think the majority of his ideas were pretty basic and standard ... i think if i heard him play in a year or two from now he would be much much better ...not that he is not good now , i want to stress that

[billpeart]

very very very nice!!!!!!!!!

[jimmyrevjr]

fuck yeah

now thats Drumming

you ever stop playing i swear to god i will hunt you down and kill you

keep up the awsome work!

[friddlebill1a]

SWEET DRUMMING! cool kit too!

[pdrahdcduk]

i like the style that this starts out in. It shows people that you don't have to be loud and in your face to show technical ability, and that drumming is about precision and technique, not just doing triplets as fast and loud as you can. Well done!

[54spiritedwill54]

You did a great job!

[MickeyBell1]

Well done

[sandercappon]

moet leren stemmen

!!!!!!:@

[binzianer]

I guess this should mean "learn to tune", if so you aint got a clue what it means to be to tuned. This set is tuned very well. I guess you infer from that right (on his position left) tom that it aint tuned well, but those (i forgott how those are called :o) must sound that way, it makes them what they are.

Lange Rede kurzer Sinn

Klasse Job, mir gefällts und passt wunderbar zu "Drummer of tomorrow".

[bennyboy273yeah]

hes good, how old is he?

[sliaras]

reaaly good job..

[kirtooroohet]

Good Job!

[PinguTrash]

Heel toe !!

[Apoca82]

oh yes, he rocks^^

[ziggysanderson]

Cool licks dude!

[mareefieldDrums]

Thanks to all the Lang, Bozzio and Minnemann Fans!!! I`m really sorry, but I never want to copy any of them.... all the ideas, styles and licks I use in this solo are my own and one from Benny Greb. I don`t give a fuck if Bozzio has played the same combinations! BUT THANKS!

[697619md]

Your name will be up there one day, your good enough.

[sweetfly66]

@mareefieldDrums ...all that matters is how it sounds ... everyone steals from everyone else .... you mention Terry Bozzio , one of the most original sounding drummers i have ever heard ...but breaking his shit down , you can clearly see the Tony Williams influence ..especially with how he uses all those flams

[697619md]

He's good, but a few years to touch Thomas Lang.

If you don't know TL, punch his name in and sit back!!!!!

[ryguy905]

who doesn't know thomas lang?

[697619md]

I Know! But it would surprise you.

[bongomonkey1]

Great Job! Love the Minnemann set up too! Not just anyone can make use of that configuration.

[LosJochos87]

mmh, some ideas from louis santiago jr. right?

good job :)

[dave1122drum]

the marco minnemann setup!!!!

[gollden]

nice prestation !

[earcandy]

Skillfully done ! Great ! I love the toms tuning.

[munichmunich]

wtf i dont understand how hes only got an average of 3 stars - and like the guy below saying this is boring... i guess he doesnt play drums.. even if he didnt how is this boring? this is amazing youve inspired me so much! good luck :D

[jamesdouglastx]

well for one its boring

second, its not to incredibly technical, its kinda basic (although some parts are fast and for the most part is very articulate and clean)

but my problem is that people like this try to recreate solos from legends and without the skill and, if i may, the ZAZZ, its well boring

[munichmunich]

i still stick to what i said - i can see maybe why a non-drummer would class this as quite boring, cuz its quite long without much "climax" or anything, but listen to how much feel all of this has.. i see where you're coming from but to me this is inspiring.. id love to be able to play some of those licks.

[playswithpassion]

Being articulate and clean is one of the most important facets of being a technical drummer...

[luigidinapolidrummer]

You did a great job!

[petrofelix]

no style , must practice some metronome , copying terry bozio ( with his small and bad style ) i am sorry you can't be a drummer of tomorrow if you still go like that ... you must be a style if you want to announce your voice..

[dreamtheater4]

ffs IN THE START OF THE SOLO YOU ARE CLEANING THE DRUMS !!!!! WITH YOUR FINGER!!!!

THAT WAS FUCKING GREAT!!!

lol

axxaaxaxxaaxax

[Zildjian232]

no retard. You lick your finger and run your finger along the head it makes bending kind of sound.

[RadarDrummer19]

Haha you got that heel/toe hi-hat splash thing working well. Im still working on that. sort of forgot abought it for a while

[Wobscured]

That was really good. Great detail petting the mic in the end..

[RocKTheNatIon21]

sehr gut!!!

wie lang spielst du schon?

ich mach nächstes jahr mit

mal sehn wie weit ich komm^^

[mareefieldDrums]

I think the same but I wasn`t in the finals in Germany. Thank you.... hope your in the Jury next time... : )

[willpistola]

man...I hope you win the international contest, the UK guy has nothing on you!

[spikemytea]

speeds up sometimes

[sexyianpig23]

agreed.

[marcus6665]

ORKA

[SabianAxis]

Terrific Solo! I loved every minute of it. Great groove, independence and ostinatos! Great set-up too! :-)

[drumkrazy1984]

*two tumbs up*

[Matt41One]

Holy sh!t !!! That was sooo good! Alot of different styles. GREAT

[Progemil]

hey,

gefällt mir zum größten Teil wirklich sehr Gut!

Vor allem das Ostinato finde ich klasse!!!

Hat ja mit dem Contest leider nicht geklappt, wie man seit heute sehen kann.

Naja, bei mir hat's auch nicht gelangt...

Mach weiter so!

LG

Emil

[najaatra]

C'est toujours intéressant l'indépendance des membres mais faudrait encore bosser un peu sur les pieds a mon avis !!

[bidibiboum]

pas tre propre tt ça,marco minnemann ou virgil donati st plu impressionant en branlette batteristique

[banmor]

Ich find's auch cool, aber ich denk auch das du das besser kannst und das es so noch nicht für den contest reicht.

[toDrumornottoDrum]

5 Sterne. Weil ich das nicht könnte und es mir persönlich super gefällt. Du spielst zwar gegen Ende nicht ganz auf den Punkt aber das bekommst du "wegtrainiert" denke ich. Für das "normale Puplikum" fehlt warscheinlich der fette Bassdrummwumms aber ein Schlagzeuger wie ich weiß wenigstens was er nicht kann :))

[Goddrum]

sweet sounds great and looks great to

[Goddrum]

sweet sounds great i like ur kit is it a pearl master studio?

[mareefieldDrums]

no, its a Tama starclassic (old version). But i`ve shorten the toms and painted it in bluesparkle.
