Taylor Gordon Performs a drum solo with NO toms

[nexusvision]

Also Like miles said look on youtube for Nile Rodgers Giggin Tips and listen to that He quoted Miles, it's not what you play, but what you don't play..

[nexusvision]

There are 2 books 4 way coordination, Joel Rothman's 5 way coordination that can give dynamics to what ever area you feel is weakest...! Nothing wrong with just keeping a pocket, but for solo depends on what type of playing, a simple pocket solo by BB Queen of mothers finest on their live album kept the crowd moving... his placement was amazing and of course Steve Jordan enthralls a crowd, the power of dynamics....and change ups!

[Mime4God200]

Keep it coming!!! Love the drumming...always have and always will! Love the faces too...ppl dont understand its key and essential to your playing...lol

[gbrax125]

Awesome. Sheesh! :)

[TheLolnation]

@ popshitz182 yes I agree with the other dude. If u dnt quite understand to use a whole drum kit and sound amazing is awesome, which ofcourse includes toms and stuff,that's one thing. but now using a snare, bass, and a high hat and sounding as amazing as using the entire kit, imagine how she wud sound if she was using the entire kit?! Exemplary wud be the word! Thts beyond outstanding! This was amazing taylor

[lukefonfabre26]

[bobs718]

Very good , great video . See my videos , (BANDA TRAMPO) , of boituva . Comment if you like !

[SteenaBeats]

How long have you been playing?

[stoll2424]

Toms are for cowards. That was awesome Taylor !

[PoPsHoTz182]

@stoll2424 Toms are for cowards? So using only hi-hat,bass drum, Snare drum and a crash takes more skill than having to actually move you sticks and wrists round a kit?!!!! Your an idiot.

[dichotomism]

@PoPsHoTz182 It does indeed take more skill, to make just hi hat, bass drum snare and crash sound good.

[stoll2424]

@PoPsHoTz182 Check out Chris "Daddy" Dave. Most of the time he has no toms in his kit.

[gwb911]

would have been better off with an ALL tom solo...

[AfroDrumChild]

you know you kan toggle the snares on and off, for more ideas, and a Brush transition wouldnt hurt either.

[xsteffylikewhoaa]

wow u shud of used toms cuz that was the slowest beginning ever....sounded like crap

[taygrummer]

[MrVick85]

Wow Tay! Just incase you didnt known You are very inspirational. You always bring quality. And whats great,...is your emotion. I'm also am emotional drummer (so to speak) you can see exactly what we feel. ( Thats why I tend to put on shades lol) But Absolutly Great!!! none the less. Good luck at Berkley, & keep nourishing that love for the drums until your ready to let'em go an move on to production. It looks like you'll probly always keep'em close to heart.. (from one to another) much love

[KappinAc]
