[chook2148]

im lovin these pocket rockout vids! keep it up

[Spidey2391]

who was playing piano in the back ground ?

[brenfen]

Its a Death Cab for Cutie song. I think its called Brothers on a Hotel Bed and its on the album Plans. Good album, check it out!

[kellan6]

why such the sad death cab music in the backround?? Not that I dont love the song, but shouldnt the music be a little more upbeat for a lesson??

Kick ass job by the way, i just found you out 4 days ago andn ive been cramming in as much videos as I can by you.

[johnnyonline]

i just wanted some mellow beats in the background. :)

[Safagan]

man, was that a 6 you fucked up on, or something? (3:37 fill)

[KookiesnKreme13]

jw. what kind of splash do you use??

[thumppurrr]

evans blue hydrolic. no need for electric tape. sound just as they should.  worth the risk. you might love them.

[CJG90]

wow, u said you had 400 subscribers back then. in a matter of a year you almost have 4000 now!

[johnnyonline]

man, time flies when you're having fun.

[toejamandearl]

I do that same thing with pulsing your hi-hat. I try not to but its odd playing them all evenly. By the way have you ever tried aquarian heads? Just wondering what your opinion is.

[johnnyonline]

never tried them. pretty rare brand in australia. it's pretty much remo or evans around these parts.

[Hyce777]

How about a lesson on filling next... Thats my main problem.

[pardiddle]

cool.

[MiMarC76]

you call that pocket?

[johnnyonline]

nah not really.. it's just what i started calling my video lessons when i started them "pocket rockouts".. i could have called them "sloppy drumming from a guy that's not entirely sure what he's doing behind a kit" but then i don't think anybody would have watched. lol.

[thatsharkeyguy]

hahaha

[joberle]

i thought so we have those in our band room, avedis ones right

[joberle]

wat kinda of cymbals r those

[johnnyonline]

really old zildjian A series. i love em :)

[GeoBeasly]

I think my previous reponse went poof. Oh Well, Youtube has to eat too. I just wanted to say thanks for lesson #8. It got me over the threshhold. I hope you do another lesson continuing with some more neat grooves. At any rate I have subscribed and thanks.

[alejosyc]

where is the pocket rockout episode 6?

[johnnyonline]

hm.. i don't know.. i don't think there was one.. i dont' think i should number them anymore.. it just gets confusing.. lol

[thewho1160]

wut kind of set is that, it kind of sounds like a ludwig

[cjc1732]

How can i download your drumming videos?

[GeneralCornelius]

dude, John your education videos are amazing. I like your detail and humor in your teaching. Please make more videos like this :)

[mandukamja]

whats the song playing the in the background?

[johnnyonline]

the small bit of music in the background is "brothers in a hotel bed" by death cab for cutie

[Gunsandsunflowers]

I love you....

I m still starting kit and this is very helpful

[tangoman0]

i have been watching your videos since you got your masters kit and you have become really big!im just looking at all these comments you are getting and i would like to add you have also influenced me alot,so thanks.yeah its the same snare....ITS THE BEST!!!

[pearldrummer525]

Dude youre so good. .I've only had a couple major influences that have changed my playing, and you are one of them. You've really inspired me to new thinking and aspects when it comes to beats, and music itself. I just took this time to congratulate you on your amazing talent and that all of your videos are great. BTW, can I have your cymbal specs?

[johnnyonline]

they're some kind words there my friend, thank you.

my cymbals in this video are zildjian Avedis series.

14" new beat hats, 18" med-thin crash, 17" thin crash, 20" med ride... real standard, middle of the road stuff. i like cymbals like that because they're versatile and i never know what style i'm gonna be hired to play.

[tangoman0]

i had an old snare drum so i went to get a new one and ended up getting the same one as you! its great....oh and so was your video!

[johnnyonline]

pearl sensitone custom alloy beaded brass shell with black nickel coating in the 5x14 size with mastercast hoops? IT'S THE BEST SNARE DRUM IN THE WORLD!

[eren8889]

good dumming and some cool patterns

sometime you should do a lesson or something on linear patterns

[drummer92080]

good idea fatxiong...it also happens to me!!!

[fatxiong]

hey johnny..nice video again...i really like them..all ur examples are great..

oh yea..do u mind making another video of..how to roll nicely?my rolling is not that constant..sometimes it's fast sometimes it's slow..i'll appreciate it

great video..again

[jackospacko]

Just as i want to do grooves like this and not know how to do them i see this and go YAYUH

[mattykarasch]

pocket rockout's....rock

[ccrweezerccr]

[drummer92080]

it took me forever to watch this one....somehow my connection started to suck as of today...lol, but it was worth it!!!! Thanks John, keep them coming....

[Psych0f0x]

Nice camera! Great pocket rockout, very inspiring =)

[timetravelfx]

these beats were cool. I never really did many two bar patterns, but now I see how they make for much more interesting feels. another great video.

[jackyboy222]
