Cobus - Black Eyed Peas - Let's Get It Started Intro (how to)

[paulmariani1976]

I think it's really sneaky of you to use the name of a very talented percussionist like Cobus, just to get views. BTW this sounds nothing like the way he plays it. Laus Deo Semper

nice catch sherlock, try ur own style and you don't have to "bounce" the stick.. Ur actually gonna hit the drum, u have to bounce cuz ur head is tightend higher than my piccolo snare....

[MrDoofDoofHead]

REALLY I never KNEW THAT!

[NotCedric]

Your floor tom sounds higher than my rack tom

[SuperBigbuffguy]

@NotCedric congrats!

[bbub123]

that floor tom is soooooo high pitched bro

[Ryxify]

" And so it's how it sounds like : EARTHQUAKE "

[MrWookie91]

thanks for the advice man, one question though. why does it sound like your tom has been tightened to the extreme??? im not bashing you or anything, im just wondering

[SuperBigbuffguy]

@MrWookie91 dunno. i can play the drums, not tune it and when my bro bought the set off craigslist three years ago it was like that and the heads havent been replaced. later in the future when i get a job and can pay for mics im gonna start doing drum covers and then ill replace the heads haha

[willbo456ify]

this is isnt how he plays it....he does it with triplets and only one beat on the bass drum.

[SuperBigbuffguy]

@willbo456ify He made a video tutorial on his website that explains how to do the beginning of the black eyed peas video and this is what he explained but his goes in a little more depth and different ways to use this technique around the kit. So no he does quads with one hand and one foot not triplets

[MrPeanutballer22]

@0:15 i can do that with my foot flat

[guyonacajon]

@MrPeanutballer22 so can i but its easier to use the slide technique

[MrPeanutballer22]

@guyonacajon i haven't tried that I can hit trppilets with my toes but i'll try that and see if it's better

[guyonacajon]

@MrPeanutballer22 also forgot to mention im the guy that made the video i just dont remember my account info that i put this video on. but the slide takes time to learn but its so effective
