@JamesGillespie1 People are fucking idiots, thats for sure. Your heel toe looks nice and relaxed, all the notes are on time and clear :) I got to say i think Heel toe is the way forward. just look at John Longstreth, he switched over. people need to drop this single strokes>double strokes bullshit, its really holding drummers back.
hey james just a question on triggers, ima noob just starting out drums honestly. im sick of the local shows runing mics from the bass drum straight to the PA dnt even use subs. im buying Axis-a classic black long boards, they have holes to mounts triggers on them im sure youd know lol. triggers with a lil hammer or sumthin? have good response ive read and dnt miss fire. just wonderin if u could point me in the right direction for triggers,module, even my own PA system? just for small venues
What kind of snare is that ? I've seen it many times before, but never really thought about what it is. I think Mike Heller from Malignancy has one aswell.
hey james, it's doug from sirens and sailors, i was just wondering if you've tried out the demon drive pedals for heel toe and such? let me know if you have!
Hey man. Long time no talk. I've played heel toe on the Demon Drives and they are pretty sick. They're not a lot different than Axis and Trick. They're all the same if you ask me haha. i would just go with whatever is cheapest.
i don't particular like double bass playing to single but if there was an award for double kick -you would be fucking god,blew me away dude hey friggin terrific man cool matt,peace.
Can you upload a tutorial for Heel-toe?
Thanks a ton.

If I could have the choice of flying a fighter jet or playing on your snare drum... I'd do both.
In all serious though, your snare sounds awesome. Is that a remo black suede emperor on top?
