thomas pridgen part 2

[MrRyanSams]

so sick!

[vrdrums]

One day I hope to have this ability. No, not Thomas Pridgen's ability, but to be allowed to play at four a.m. with no noise complaints.

[KurdtKobain09]

I think I'm love.

[Oli4drums]

It does sound a LITTLE like a part from Cavalletas but not entirely. It could be a sub-conscious thing though..

[thepatient678]

who is this guy?

[TMVowns]

hes always smiling lol

[YOWHATTHEHELLUP71]

This is like trying to make sense of progressive metal, its impossible to understand. He is a genius.

[wadalupelakeescupe]

@YOWHATTHEHELLUP71 its not imposible to understand it. but somehow it looses its meanning if you try to understand it. you just gotta feel it

[giffted8854]

ok those cant be crashes bc they r too thick crashes r thin...he is playn those way too hard 4 them to b crashes

[Blocktagga]

Don't break it

[chrisakablaze]

thats one big ass hi hat

[1bass]

he use zildjian crash cymbals

[brezylin]

fuck.his hi hats are massive!

[pdp420]

yeah haha, they are two crash cymbals

[randrew333]

who cares man he's probably just playin whatever random shit was there, wherever he was haha

[pdp420]

Thomas has been endorsed since he was like 10 lol. i think he has more than just one kit @_@

[alexbenjaminsean]

is he usin splashes for the hi-hats lol......i am startin to realize dat he does dat often hahaha

[GCracker23]

you mean crashes?

yes.

[mfgdrummer]

well, of course. ordinary hi-hats would crack under the pressure of being played by thomas pridgen.

[PharaohTui]

get off his nuts boy

[catalystdrums123]

i don't really like the way those hats sound, whatever they are

[specialness16]

oh well

[branthehun]

those are real hi hats every one asks that Qs

[muzicalgod]

yea those are crashes they arent hi hats at all.

[ace1990booter]

2 17" crashes stacked as hi-hats.

[PB0277]

so true-its really quite embarassing to those who thik he sucks right??

[bendinggreenvans]

I know, I mean Thomas Pridgen is one of ma favourite drummers, but let's not forget Jon Theodore! x

[ontonci]

Yeah dude!!! Destroying like this...

[Benjomatic]

His hats look like two constantinople crashes on top of each other. The dude from the killers uses something like that aswell.

[mariorossipuzza]

16" hi-hat??????

i saw him live and in fact his hats were a bit bigger than the standard...

[Bulldog22031]

its definitely two crashes.

[danielhl22]

no!!!this are special fx signature model 18 inches hi-hats they where made just for him!!!

[bendinggreenvans]

what? have you even heard l' via' via whatever it's called :P that one? haha, that's a pretty groovy song! :)

[jjoonnaassdb]

drums written by john Theodor lets not forget

[benvolta12]

at 1:11 it sounds like he's playing the beat from cicatriz.

[KanuZankoro]

God, he loves drumming, and you can't deny it. He dances around WHILE he drums, and also this video proves that he has a love for drumming so intense that he's willing to drum any time of the day! Admirable, definetly.

[boecke91]

He seems to be playing a part of the Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus Jam at the end of the video, really hard to play that sort of stuff in a 29/16 bar with pulses like that. I dig, I dig alot.

[oneminutetomidnight]

ROCKIT

[4spade4]

Marz Volta Never really had a groove jon theodore seemed to be to stuck on a beat while everyone else in the group was going nutts Thomas is perfect

[lyrikz]

he might just be warming up before a show & trying out some of the beats hes gonna be playing.

Those hats are huge - might be crashes

[boecke91]

Thomas Pridgen is capable of anything and everything, remember this at all times people, thank you.

[mrsvlta]

warming up at 4 in the morning?

anyways, it's awesome

[jimshtjor]

respect thomas totally but i still feel jon theodore had the groove and he wasa better drummer for them....

[catalystdrums123]

agreed, both phenomenal drummers though

[southgallatin]

its not at the same tempo as cavalletas but he is def riffing off that beat/rhythm

[Moog167]

Crash Cymbals as Hi-Hats I gotta try that!

[Btolbertjr]

im pretty sure those aren't crash cymbals...they're jus big hats....like 15", 16"

[Moog167]

I've seen 15" hi-hats but 16" is just crazy....I still wanna try it though.... Maybe O-Zone Crash Hats.....Hmmmm

[dtegg91]

That groove that starts at 0:56 is just filthy!

[dwdrummerdave]

its similar to the one before it just on the hats not the ride. personally i like the ride one better

[zornfizza2]

I want to hear him bust some N'Orleans-styled sh_t - kid's always blowing ..

[jbassfox]

Why do some of you continue to believe that he's playing Cavalletas? He's just jamming to his own thing. It's not even in the same time signature.

[pacificdrummer9]

BIG hi hats....i like that yo

[mariorussell]

its like if god came to play the drums... pridgen rules

[HatingIdiots]

i bet you he stole those drums.

[JarrettsMusic]

no, thats cavalettas

[j4r3ddd]

i love how the light is shining on the cymbals

props to the camera man? haha

if i could drum like this my life would be complete

[JuanCastilloMusic]

u foos are gay he just busting some beats hes not trying to play the songs hes been playing for like 6 + months aight...plus this vid is whack for him anyways

[babber09]

those are two crashes for the hihat i am guesiing.

[shweabo]

Yes, he is playing the cavalletas breakdown at the end (with some variations)

[j4r3ddd]

good call

[jbassfox]

Why do some of you continue to believe that he's playing Cavalletas? He's just jamming to his own thing. It's not even in the same time signature.

[stunnaonflyrims]

I wish I could up and jam at 4am...Non the less...he is a prodigy...so why is he practicing so hard...he should stop and let the rest of us catch up lol (JK)

[osoot]

Is he playing Apparatus?

[southgallatin]

is he playin cavalettes at the end...?

[idratherbedrumming]

such a machine

what kind of hats are those?

[shasaki]

incredible

[davrencho]

i guess he was a little drunk

[samimen3000]
