guys you can't say he doesn't know anything about ska drumming, there is 3 different waves of ska, he is obviously third wave which is SKA/PUNK which is like PUNK Drumming, it doesn't have to be reagge beat, back beat and calm to be SKA drumming ;) this sounds good, bad quality and sure he could be a bit more creative on the drums but it's still SKA ^^
@RalfPivot A lot of 3rd wave ska drumming isn't necessarily on the up beat at all. You're completely right...The ingenuity of mixing styles is awesome!
This video sucks, but the guitarist is not horrible. I should also point out that "the Rev" was in the Suburban Legends, not that they would know that.
@ParadoxSoapbox Agreed! I'm the dude from Soapbox and we tried to follow Sublime's rule of not using horns... unless tastefully like Santeria... ya dig?
Look up Ska Jam by Soapbox Paradox on here and we do it live also I will post the studio version...
I think the secret to ska drums is that you need to play with "groove" It's hard to explain but it means lots of syncopation and be laid back, not in your face like this drummer, sometimes less is more
Damn so many haters...obviously that wasnt real ska but seriously get over urselves its just youtube. It sounded cool and plus they were just messing around so thats all that matters. Good job!
Agreed...that's not ska drumming, it sounds like a 5 yr old banging on pots and pans. Not to mention the key component of ska is bass, not only bass... but good bass. Stick to metal.
@CLEE1395 yeah i agree but i'm afraid that those aren't even legitimate ska bands. I mean Sublime had a few ska songs but Slightly Stoopid and The Expendables are more Reggae based. Yeah but that guy was a prick for sure.
@teejtills it's not ska drumming because it sounds like shit. he's just beating on them as fast as he can. And yes it is the same thing over and over.
this is nowhere near anything even close to being ska. if you listen to real ska or ska core and actual pay attention to the music, the thing that sets ska apart from all other forms of music is its complete off beat, if your a musician you'll know what im talking about. besides that the guitarist is pretty sick.
@ccfan101 Dumbass white boys? Your a dumbass racist. Sublime was an all white band and they wrote some of the best ska ever. Ha and Slightly Stoopid, and The Expendables. The list goes on and on. Yeah, I agree the drums in this are most definitely not ska. But fuck you for being a prick.
its ska punk its not ska at all. what i mean by that is that ska punk is so far removed from ska. due to the fact that the genre is untraditional IT DOESNT MATTER THAT THE DRUMMER IS PLAYING SOME DANK ASS PUNK BEETS AND OTHER STUFF OVER THE SKA GUITAR. ITS A GOOD THING BECAUSE ITS CREATIVE. and this is the only good ska punk jam ive seen on youtube, grats
who cares if thats not how you play ska on drums, who says theres a right or wrong way to make music... ska wouldnt even be wear it was today if it hadnt sounded different from everything else. thats to go for any good band
Haha this kinda looks like a jam session my band does... starts off death metal then randomly switches to different genres like reggae, punk, ska... one time we started playing jazz and got all into it
@AVGreaser what do you expect? They're recording in what looks like a living room. Drums are a loud instrument, and they are acoustical, which means you have no volume knob like on guitar.
You are a terrible ska drummer I don't care if you're in a metal band. I am too and I'm a guitarist and I can play a ska drum riff better than you. Drums aren't supposed to be heard nearly as much as the bass or guitar
@TheMagicJellyBean yeah... he's totally terrible for not just sticking with the standard generic drum beats one would expect listening to a piece of ska music... no he isn't, you're an idiot.
dude millihax they said in their description that they are really a metal band and that they are just fooling around, just so you know. they arent really a ska band and he has like no idea how to do ska drums, btw im not flaming just letting ya know.
the only ska i hear here is the guitar. I mean you could play that drum beat in a ska song but its defiantly not a straight up ska beat. Pretty good druming. keep it up
Lol! Ska Punk ftw. When I first saw the guitar, I was like: THat's a metal guitar... then I read your comments. Very well played, good to see someone who plays not only one genre. By the way, I was thinking a of getting a razorback similar to that, how's the sustaine?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
agreed, but most "ska" music played now adays are just simple chords played very quickly.... all music is pretty much at the shittier of talentless kids.
hey, fuck all'em bro, nice jam, with a little more practice, have it down. Listen to some sublime and marley and streetlight and ull get the ska jams down
drums suck but outer then that the other dude is jamin

True words. Me and one of my friends do random shit when we play all the time.
Most of the time we both just make up the parts we play on the spot. We both play guitar and drums fairly well. So its always interesting when we jam.
We don't really call it a genre.
We just play and sometimes it turns out ska style all the way to sounding grindcore-like.
