very nice bro! you didn't sound bad at all! the first one you played, the swiss army triplet helped me a lot when i first started developing ghost notes.. one thing though, more of an observation rather than a correcton: i don't know if it sounds like that because the camera is really close to the left snare drum, but i think your ghost notes should sound about half as loud as they sounded.. my tip is to try and play closer to the rim of the snare, it helps "blurring" the sound a little..try it!
haha! how ironic! i'm in the same situation as skipants17 is in! yeah, these vids are pretty great and very clearly demonstrated. thanks! im gunna go and practice these on my set!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm self-taught for 2 years and have been getting stuck in 'creative ruts'. You give good foundations for beat ideas to build on. I love it. I'm subscribing.
Yeah their sound is just great!2 weeks ago I bought 2 new crashes of byzance (14" and 16") and I'm really excited!anyway,thanks for your help my friend and see you soon
Nice and slowly is good, it enhances the point of yours which is not to make too great haste in development but rather master step at a time.
Good thing you reminded me of this video, I tried some ghost notes again at last practice and thought that it would be good to check these videos of yours out again.
really nice sound and fun grooves.

Unfortunately, the snare is right underneath the camera. so i was actually playing it quietly, but there was no better place to put the camera.
Thanks for the spot though, if the camera was placed differently, i would appreciate that observation a lot.
Cheers dude!
