Guitar Center's Drum-Pads: Brooks Wackerman (part 4_

[BringBRToTheUK]

I like how when he actually started playing the drums live, they drowned it out with an audio from Stranger Than Fiction - an album in which Brooks did not even play.

Good job doing your research 'drum pads'.

Brooks is the man! Great drummer and a great guy. I have had the pleasure of taking a few lessons with him and playing shows with him I can tell you that his technique is great. The Wackerman family of drummers are all great. As far as his grip goes, sure looks like JoJo Mayer and Benny Greb and they are sticking Gods. A more relaxed, I guess you could say loose, is the size of an advanced drummer.

dont tell the man what to do he is the man

[spatchycat]

hes not bad...ha can do cheezes and flam drags...not bad at all...he needs to workon that hugh gap in his fulcrum though....

[mattwalker21]

You're supposed to have a gap between the thumb and forefinger. You've got too much tension in your hand if you don't.

[spatchycat]

no actually in dci they do not reccomend that you do that due to the fact that it can slip from youhand...you do not have an gap. you make sure you are fully relaxed but there is an V shape between the thumb and fore finger...trust me i am 25 and i have played sence i was 14...

[mattwalker21]

I've been playing a long time too (as has Brooks and the rest of his family of world famous drummers). The grips used and playing in marching is quite different from drumset, I guess.

[spatchycat]

nah...look at buddy riches videos

you can see both work there lol!!!

[dustysxe]

I bet you go through drumheads like Bill Clinton goes through condoms.

[spatchycat]

lol...not really. Actually heads last quite a while if i get the black dot ones. Sticks on the other hand. Yea you got it there

XD

[thewayside0]

haha thats greg graffin, n00b

[BNSFuzz]

They shoulda played something else besides "Better Off Dead" at the end seeing that he didn't even record on that track. Plus, Wackerman is a way better drummer than Bobby was

[magicdrummer411]

that is a personal opinion though, I like bobbys style better, and when they had bobby their music had mor changes in them, pauses and tempo.

[ebflip26]

can anyone tell me what warm ups he's doing?

[MarcBurnsThatBarn]

He´s starting out wth triple paradiddles......

[spatchycat]

also known as an paradiddlediddle!

[kinmireiile]

[robolitious]

[Dunford00]

awesome stuff!

[imac327]

great to watch, actually kinda funny to hear brooks voice. surprised me for some reason.

the problem with the music played in this series is that most of it isn't brooks. they should've just played stuff he's drumming in if it's about him.

[lorimac2]

Brooks is a serious-ly-funny guy!! Sooooo talented!! Love him :o)

[damthatfatmike]

good to see wackerman get interviewed
