wow man! ive always liked the commercial stuff but my friend recently told me how much he like the drummer. and i play drums. just know discovering what a great musician he is. . glad i did. he brings his own spit to the table. .
i've never been the kind of drummer that chad is - i've always been more interested in more metal styles - loud, fast playing with lots of flashy fills - but over time i really came to appreciate drummers like chad - yes it is cool to play big flashy drums, but it is also really amazing to play something simple, where you don't let yourself get distracted or sidetracked and just stay steady - chad is rock solid
I've been a fan of 311 since I was 8 years old and they released "Down" as a single. Yes, my mother was coooool enough to let me buy a "parental advisory" album at that young of an age and it's weird that I was into that kind of music back then. It started something that continues to this day. Chad will always be the drummer that first inspired me to start playing and still influences my style to this day.
@rcpooljr the one with the offspring? I was there too man that's fuken crazy shit. But yea Chad sexton is the man and 311 with the offspring is the best show by farrrrr. If u haven't seen the 2, unity tour is the best u will fall in love.
Chad Sexton is the Best Drummer ever to me!!! The Drum Solo he did in New Orleans in 2004 was the kraziest shit ever. Give the man props =] 311 ALL DAY!!!!!!!
Chad's solos are really awesome!If he plays and extended tom roll it would really send a sensation all up my spine! 311 rocks.Period! Applied Science is a hot tune!Thanks to Sony! Brainy,Brainman Media
@RATMfan92 i can tell your a rage againts the machine fan cool but if your a drummer like me also you would no that chads snare is just a normal snare he the rim with the outline of the snare to give a beat like that. dont belive wtach his video
@james6394 look if you rply back your just another puss try to start somthing it was 2 weeks ago why would he want chads snare ?? if he lieks the sound i no it is modded so why u try to tell me that its normal it makes you look dumb
@purplenugget11 I did read the other comment. He said he wanted Chad's snare. Obviously because he likes the sound of it. Then you start going on about it's just a normal snare, when in fact everyone already knew that :\
They're not loose. He was beating the shit out of them. Chad comes from playing on Falam II heads which is like hitting concrete, the stand was a normal one, so it didn't have the stability from the rack system he uses.
Geezus, not another debate on this crap. Almost makes me glad I'm not a drummer anymore. They seem to be the whiniest fuckin pussies roaming the internet...........
No disrespect for you guys still drummin who aren't retarded.
Why would he need a double bass pedal when already drums anyone under the table , and yes , even travis barker , listen to feels so good , he's a rhythmatic genius , so he doesn't need any of that
Chad Sexton is a professionally trained drummer. The product of years of lessons and training and performing with drum corps. And it shows in his solo. Whether or not he uses a double pedal is ridiculous. His drumming is clean as fuck. And to be able to do that solo and then keep performing the rest of the song is very admirable as well. And props to the guys for being exactly as they should be, talented musicians. Happy 311 day.
dude theres alot of bands that are almost the opposite to thrash metal and so on but they use a double pedal and are awesome with it. Theres a drummer i know named corey dixon who likes jazz and funk and he uses his double pedal quite a bit and its perfect, but strangely when he plays punk or metal he never uses the double pedal he just uses the one.
Dude neil Peart Sucks, what the hell. And this is a 311 video, not a drumming convention thing. I play drums and I like this song for the music, the drum solo wasn't that bad. Seriously.
Let's go over this. I said, "311 is fucking awesome..." Therefore that cancels out your drum convention remark. I said that because some guy told me to look at this when I commented on a Carter Beauford video and some guy said it was horrible and that this was a better drummer. Maybe in another genre he is, but whatever, and Neil Peart is a God. By the way, please take a fucking grammar lesson or two.
My grammar's fine, at least I'm not going around using chatspeak. Sorry if I came off a little rude. I just don't think Neil Peart is that good. Besides, Chad Sexton's pretty damn good at this.
I agree that this wasn't an amazing drum solo. But remember, he's playing for the crowd...he's not showing his true abilities, just a taste. Now if he were at a drum clinic, going over technique and such, then we might witness a totally different drummer. This was for the crowd, not for drummers. All the drummers stated in this argument are all great. But there is NO SUCH THING as a 'better drummer' when it comes to professionals, theres too many, and they all have amazing skills.
Part 2.....read my first comment first... I think Neil Pert is BEYOND overrated! It isn't even funny. He is great, and extremely talented, but he's given too much credit for what he's got. But like I said...he is amazing and one of my favorite drummers. Thats just my opinion, it MAY not be the truth, but thats just how I feel. Thats all I have to say...have a good day sir! Peace...
I respect that you are being very diplomatic on the subject and commend you on that, but my rebuddle is that, though wrist technique and other aspects are what usually make people believe one drummer is better than another, it is not a correct assumption. It is ten times harder to engineer and create the rhythms that he uses than to play them. He might be slightly overrated, but most of the credit really does go to him. Thank you, that is just my insight on the subject.
If you truely listen to Buddy Rich or even any of those people (which you should check out elvin jones, joe morrello, art blakey, max roach) then you would know, Niel Peart is not in fact, a "God".
that solo is fucking sick ... this whole song just fuckin grooves man ... 311 is the shit ill be seeing you all again in 2 years .... i was in the 2nd row 311 day blowin' on nevils haze best show of my life by far it was my first 311 concert
holy shit now that's a drum solo. neil pert aint got shit on him. well, except maybe 300 cymbals and a few rhoto toms ^_^
