[LukeSnyderMusic]

I really like your main snare, what is it? Excellent playing, very technical work.

[gigimorello]

@LukeSnyderMusic thanks my friend, very kind! The main snare in this video is a Sonor Jungle snare

[LukeSnyderMusic]

@gigimorello How big is it? I absolutely love how it sounds, the rim on it cuts so well!

[gigimorello]

@LukeSnyderMusic hi Luke it is 10" x 2" you can find it on the sonor web site, under sonor snare force series, unfortunately I cannot paste the link here.

[LukeSnyderMusic]

@gigimorello I'll go and look for it, thanks! Its amazing, because I've been looking for a tiny snare like that :D

[gigimorello]

@LukeSnyderMusic Good Luke!

[gigimorello]

Thank you very, very much my friend! G

[TimeForAPsycoHoliday]

you deserve the praise and iv seen a lot of solos from pros to average joes.

[gigimorello]

I have no more to say to your very nice words... thanx man!!!

[gigimorello]

Thank you bro!

[mrswicknick]

Fun to watch, i loved the one handed rolls and as much as I hate moeller (Im a DCI guy) it was still rather nice. Overall a good video. Love all of your stuff my man keep it up

[SchrollME]

Your marching-style rhythms were pretty catchy, nice work. The only thing I noticed was some room for improvement on the transitions.

[grindthedrum666]

nice solo m8 love how much u`re in control with your hands and u`re dynamics ace .wase`nt fond of the blasts of the double bass but hey that`s just me great job

[gigimorello]

thanks man, I understand what you say and your comment is appreciated. G

[pierfrancescom69]

I really like the sound of the top left cymbal, what is it? its not the first time i've seen it..

and of course.. great relaxed technique!!

[gigimorello]

thanx, it is a class UFIP 15" Class Series Crash mounted over an UFIP 17" Class Series Crash

[gigimorello]

thanx a lot, appreciated, yes, moeller triple and quadruple rolls. G

[madchops82]

I really like your relaxed technique and what looks like to be triple stroke rolls...very very nice

[gigimorello]

thanx! is not very easy with a 10" snare, very small. Yes I have a bit of marching experience in the US. Nothing major though.

[DeLL116]

I liked how you messed with the rims on 0:53. Cool drumming man, marching experience?

[Drakett]

Ahhhhh.... is this what u used to start ur solo in the Track 13 video of the yama DTXtreme 3?

[gigimorello]

it could be my friend, you know every drummer has a musical language he uses using certain phrases that make his style particular and recogniizable. Good for spotting it! G

[gigimorello]

dear, thanx for your comment. It is very nice indeed! G

[gabefooby1]

Haha no Problem- Such great playing deserves nothing but positive feedback. as Midinerd said below, It's flavorful! I'd never heard anything like this before. It shows off both technical and musical skill- This is my favorite solo out of any I've seen or heard. Keep it up!

[gabefooby1]

I'm usually not a fan of double bass, but you didn't hide behind it like most people do- You only used it when it would sound good, and even when you were using it, you still utilized your hands. It all sounded great together! I'm very impressed.

[hildergarn]

whoa that's awesome!!

[midinerd]

I enjoy those flams a lot. What double-bass footing patterns are you doing? diddles? Are your drums fairly tight to accomodate the moeller? Thanks for this demo... really nice to listen to.

[gigimorello]

yi! thanx for the comment. the double-bass footing patterns are singles, doubles and diddles. the drums are just normally tight (the one in the video is not my usual drum set (was the one in the music studio) and as the skins were a bit dead I had to tighten them up to make them sound.

[midinerd]

would you mind doing a recording showing you demonstrating your footing technique? Just curious. -next chance I get to sit down (just jammed for a while about a day ago so taking a small break), I'll have this video open and try to get a similar general groove. it's quite flavorful! haha, thanks again

[drummer0101]

what kind of drums are those? they look like my 70s slingerlands-nice work

[gigimorello]

this is a yamaha, the snares are a sonor jungle snare (center) yamaha in wood(left) yamaha in metal (on the place of tom2). Thanx! G.

[genmasaotome666]

Your technique is excellent. This is amazing! Chapeau!

[franticUK001]
