Well it's kinda weird, I eat and write with my left and do pretty much everything else with my right. I started playing drums on a righty kit but playing open handed. I eventually switched over to playing righty, but I can do both.
holy crap! I always have to explain that to people too. I eat and write and draw with my left, but I do everything else with my right. I am a drummer as well, but I don't drum lefty. Not fully right, left, or ambidextrous, just weird I always have to tell people.
That's one of the best drum covers I've heard around Youtube of Ronald Jenkees. Other people try to make their covers too flashy and showy and what not but this hits the spot. Nice job and props man.
damn nice work. i completely agree with Narutokage717 in the middle you came in a little early, but other than that you did an excellent job on drum improv. like the kid said, you did better than i could have.
no he deffinatly hit the mic. watch it like a thousand times like i did. lol he did. lol w.e tho he just kept goin nd hes got great skill so who givs a shit anyway lol
Hah well I actually started playing lefty but kinda transitioned over to righty. I'm weird, I eat and write with my left hand, but do pretty much everything else with my right.
I've got to agree, sometimes you get a tad ahead of the beat, but you know how to be a good drummer, stay back and groove with the song instead of taking the spot light.
Your use of the snare drum for a lot of those fills sounds great. I'm going to try and incorporate more of that into my playing, kind of get back to the basics of a good fill, y'know? Too many people rely on fancy tom run thrus instead of classy technical snare parts. Reminds me of when I was in band, and you'd see written out fills in the music.
Yeahh, I know exactly what you mean. A lot of people base their opinion on whether a drummer is good or not on their use of those fancy tom fills, but I find great drummers are the ones who can groove and not overplay. At the same time, some of those kinds of fills can be great, but only when appropriate. Thanks for the comment!
Definitely! I've been working for the past few months on really simplifying my playing overall, to get more of that feel out of it, while still keeping the kick at a fairly advanced level (which usually doesn't interfere with the song the way over-filling it does). Again, good job here. The mark of a good studio drummer is one who can play very simply, but add touches of class where needed. Those all out fills do have their place. :)
Thanks! It's only a Pearl Forum, I wanna get a new one at some point, but I just got a PDP 8" snare that I put to the left of the hats. And I have a Remo emperor on my regular snare and Evans Genera G2's on the toms and bass.
dudeee that was tighttt. i'd loove to try and jam to that song on the drums...i know that double kick was coming lol props ...and props to ronald for making the song!
Haha woww thank you so much!!!! I've listened to this one so many times I think I know it by heart haha. I absolutely love the fast rising riff at the end, it's seriously amazing, gives me chills every time!
