r those hi hats like 5 inches

[puppetofmasters]

he needs to learn some technique, this is way to crampy...

[TheCobaltRod]

That was actually pretty good, I'm not sure why this is only at 3 stars. You have an interesting style.

The only constructive comment I can provide is that perhaps you could work on incorporating more wrist movement rather than using your whole arm as often, It might help with stamina and speed. Of course, if you don't feel like you need to do it then don't. You already play better than many drummers I've met who were obsessed with "proper technique".

[CHAKALITOxDDx]

WEIRD BUT I LIKE IT JAJAJAJA xd

[plopenstien]

10" snare drum? hows that working out for ya?

[joeswanson420]

i have a buddie that done his toms the same way and they sounded great but yea dude awsome sound it seems like you got your style down and all i wouldnt even worry bout spee unless u plan on drumming for behemothlol . keep up the awsome job man

[ForceoftheDragon]

This is a great vid. I enjoy your style and speed of play, and I especially like how your toms sound when you hit them. Nice job.

[abcccccdd]

i dont think it sounds that bad, but im used to bad quality. however i dont think you played well either

[chrisrockspeoria]

im a drummer. why do ppl put tape on the heads? i cant figure it out

[anotherdrummer23]

I used the tape as a way to muffle the drums so the sounds don't bleed together. I know better now, and use 'moongel' mufflers...

did you happen to watch any of my new videos??

[bonceyrogs]

Is that a Max Stack I see?

[anotherdrummer23]

It is indeed. When my apartment burned, it melted... :(

Renter's insurance paid for a new set, though. Now I've a Max Stax, the Max Splash Set, and the unbelievably kick-ass Melody Master Snare. Working on getting a new video posted, just having a hard time with the recording equipment... Not enough hours in the day....

[ghostsheet]

what a bunch of CRAP! i dont know how to play the drums but could play better than that!

[NoPlace4Emo]

buy new drumheads... but good work!

[anotherdrummer23]

So, for the record: These drums burned to a crisp. Stop telling me to tune ashes!! Seriously though, folks, please don't leave a comment if you've nothing to comment on aside from the horrible tuning and the horrible audio. I REALIZE THAT IT SOUNDS BAD. I posted the video to get constructive critism to improve my technique. "Sounds like juice cartons" doesn't count as constructive critism. Thanks.

[Headbanger270]

Screw all these haters. The only time you would really need to change them for good sound is when you get a gig or a recording session with your drums. Personally I think your drumheads are perfect for practicing and since they are quiet they add a better quality to it!

[maxingerx]

i think your solo is really good but your camera is´nt XD

[comatosepuma]

ur a good drummer but try to get new heads and tune them properly

[marleyman0]

fuck me did u make that kit? it sounds AWFUL! - TUNE THE FUCKIN THING! and if your cymbals sound so shit in a vid try layin of em a bit rather than that tumult

[anotherdrummer23]

Yeah, inferior equipment sounds bad. and it sounds worse with the crummy audio. the rest of the comment doesn't make sense:

"and if your cymbals sound so shit in a vid try layin of em a bit rather than that tumult" could you translate? Thanks marleyman.

[marleyman0]

a tumult is like an epic horrbile crashin n i meant trry laying off of them a little more, i can tell they are nice cymbals and its just bad audio, my cam does the same, also if u crack on sum new heads, probs remo clear emperors, and tune them ur solo will sound alot more powerful, coz essentially u can really play well but urs kit doesnt have any power anyways peace.

oh n NO GAFFA TAPE!!! let the drum and head do wot they're designed to do, keep up das good work! - peace.

[anotherdrummer23]

Marleyman! Watch my new video please!

[Koshak1991]

you drums not bad change plasts

[TasmarCompany]

Mouahaha.. never listen a drum sounds like this...

Please, tune it!

[nazarethnus]

wtf..

[N444HM]

dude if u wanted to mute you toms just put towels or rags on top of the heads...

[frogscar]

you don´t suck as much as your drumkit (compliment)

[drumingsensation]

what the hell did you do to your skins

[mkflores]

rather then trying to kill all of the overtones in the drums by suffocating them with duct tape..try tuning the damn things. You would be shocked at how good they would sound.

[thegtshow1545]

my last name is talbert

[SlayerFan1993]

It's ironic that you have a Max Stax and your heads are like that. Hey, I'm not here to judge...

[anotherdrummer23]

Then shut the hell up. If you have nothing to say about my playing, I don't wanna hear it

[SlayerFan1993]

Hey man, I didn't say I didn't like your drumming. I thought your solo was actually very good, and the toms sounded pretty good. I wasn't making fun of you, I just thought it was ironic. Calm down.

[Mattelliott1234]

sound aint the best, and i dont like the way u hit the cymbals, but yeah proper good i s'pose!

[anotherdrummer23]

You're right that the sound sucks....when you say "the way I hit the cymbals", do you mean that in terms of rhythm or my physical striking technique?

[dissyduster]

man you need some new drum heds,,,

[dissyduster]

man you need some new drum heds,,,

[proagresivo]

man... good video... just the sound quality is not good but i can understand the times and all

[perkai]

good rythm, nice kit. be post other video with professional sound, thanx

[anotherdrummer23]

I finally did!! Please have a listen

[Rockonforever88]

Rock on brother!

[metalover2]

also if u get these remo plastic free floating rings that go around ur drumm heads it s better than tape

[s7713]

small hi hat

[rockskater102990]

and also, you should be using your real toms more than those roto toms...

[rockskater102990]

because roto toms are for accents....real drums are for....not accents...

you get the idea

[rockskater102990]

your cymbals sounds awful, your snare and toms sound like your hitting cardboard instead of a drum. its awful. playing is ok, but really...take off all that damn tape, get new heads, and learn to tune...

playing is ok...no one can really tell you how to play, kuz playng is your own creative expression...what im saying is, others cant tell you how to express yourself.

but fix your sound.

[anotherdrummer23]

Sound is fixed. please watch my new vid

[pantera880]

ur awsome keep it up

[kalmado27]

you suck!

i wouln't call that amazing

i would call it stupid!

[anotherdrummer23]

Eat shit assbag

[aerozeplyn]

wow, as much as i DESPISE muffling my toms (and bass), i love how your toms sound :) even if it looks ghetto as hell.

[RedOnChrome]

good drumming, unique style, but for gods sake, TUNE YOUR DRUMS, not duck tape them into submission.

[hit64]

a very smal hihat

[UTubeSucks26]

any drummer can tape his drum set up ....but a real musician can tune it....ducttape not good tune them dude!1

[matthewjohnzambrowsk]

haha toms sound like cannibal corpse or something less conventional haha

[Spineshaft2112]

Very nice. You have very quick feet. Are you playing on a double bass drum set or double pedal? Nice job.

[anotherdrummer23]

Double pedal. Tama Iron Cobra. Got a new drumset, so my next video with show an even less conventional tom setup....

[Spineshaft2112]

Nice. Iron Cobras are the best. I use two of them. Smoothest and fastest pedal out there, no matter what the DW nutters say!! :)

[BenjaminxkNight]

dw and iron cobra are, the smae pedal, it was made by a company called camco, and tama and dw split on buying it from them. personally i like gibraltar

[Imsocool1004]

i like your style

great playing

i used to use duck tape too but now i use the Moongel mufflers and they dont ruin your heands

[drewp66]

I agree with swellbrain1. Your chops are great. Looks you have a nice kit. Get away from all the "Duct Tape Tuning". Three things to try if you are looking for a fat sound. 1) Try Ebony Pin Stripes, 2) Try a heavy coated head, 3) Work with your local shop on tuning techniques. This is absolutely one of the hardest parts of playing the drums and a bit of a lost art. You are a solid drummer keep up the good work.

[codylq1]

this is awesome... it sounds like a flipin machine gun! lol good jobb

[Swellbrain1]

Why all the duct tape? Those drums need to be heard. nice work.

[Flamsick]

A little too much chop and stop. In some places your cymbals smother your solo instead of complimenting. Nice speed. Occasional sparks of ingenuity. Make those drums sing for you. Not too shabby.
