Mark is an incredible drummer to be sure... and would make a good addition to DT... but I have a possible alternative for you to consider... NYC Session Drummer Charlie Zeleny, has worked with Rudess extensively in the past enter "Charlie Z Gospel Chops R&B Solo Drum Track " in the youtube search bar
lol all you guys saying its not a groove look so dumb you don't even know what a groove is apparently it just any tempo any speed but its a groove when you have a very natural look and sound to it like you have a really good feeling for it
@iandrummer07 because groove is qualify to be more like a swing , accent are more on the first time , this is more like a rock or whatever ... look at dimsunk videos you will understand what is groove . the feeling is not the same. No one can really say what's groove, but it's more like a feeling like steeve van telejuice says : "even the people who can't dance wanna feel like dancing..." btw don't tell me i'm stupid
Great energy! If you could, visit my page and check out a video of me playing a tune from Groove Essentials 2.0. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
absolutely man ... if you notice all he is doing is moving around continuous double strokes .... simple right ? .... yeah , except that it gets hairy when you start moving them around .... haha
Like a Boss.

@MyBILLYKIDD
I believe that's a 14" Oriental China Trash. The inverted Splash over the secondary Hi Hat is a 12" and the K China is a 19" comparatively.
