[johnnylarue1]

cool

[johnnylarue1]

good player but drums kinda sound like shit??

[bestofthebestprod]

Thats whats up bro.

[zeLordz]

Oh come on! That guy is a seriously great drummer. Didn't know him, but he shows confidence, precision, and actually more dynamic than most of the famous drummers. The volume range between his fortissimo and pianissimo is huge! You almost wouldn't notice the ghost notes if you weren't watching the video.

[mrtitanium85]

are ppl seriously talkin about arm movement?? lol...this isn't marchin band so arm movement has nothing to do with how drums need to b played. 0%. on drums that's considered "style" more than it is "technique". in a marching band, maybe u could use that statement but NOT over here

[powerslaver6]

this guy have a great rythm wow just awesome

[RyanUybengkee]

SOLID. Really Solid groove. Althought this is the first time ive ever heard of Felix, but it sounds like he is such a groove machine from Gospel and pop background. Good drummer..excellent!

[anibalserenelli]

[kpotis]

I'm a white guy, n this is the difference between a white drummer n a black drummer..respect!

[StickyyWinklee]

ALL NIGHTT LOOOOONGG XD

Greatt songg.. Greatt drummer :D

[RatioVeritas]

Really Great .. theres alot of harmony between the drums and the other instruments...it just fits perfectly..

He uses that much arm movement, just to "feel" the music.. if you do that, you will hit the drums exactly at the right moment.. i also do that if I try to practice my "groove-drumming-skills" (so not that fast Punk/Metal -Grooves).. it has to be harmonic..and moving your arms like that helps to hit the right spot at the right time.. play chilled ^^

[SinisterSkip]

And people talking about this guy needing to use more dynamics? Sorry, but you're just talking bullocks. The difference in volume of his hits is spot on and suits the music perfectly.

This is real musical drumming, all you critics prolly are not a hair better than this guy. There's a difference between "not my style" or "bad use of mechanics/arm movement" or all those nonsense arguments you guys are using. Get a grip.

[SinisterSkip]

Way too much arm movement? You've probably never heard about the words "show performance" have you. He's doing a great job!

[trendyjon]

Way too much arm movement,

bring em down dude.

[lilstewkjs]

Jackmaggot man this dude can do it all doc he's from chicago and he was my mentor but not on the drums ON THE BONGOS this dude can play EVERY GENRE OF MUSIC and believe me he knows when to keep it hi or lo and that comes from his extensive background in reading music but hell it's a groove what u want a rimshot?

[jackmaggotdude]

certainly not my preferd druming style but he is still so amazing

[heinzie5]

jesus does this guy have a quiet setting? O_o

i know he could kick my ass any day of the week behind a drum set but still i think he needs to look up the word dynamics.

ill give him a fair chance and check out some other videos of him though...
