@miavonni Thanks!!

[jadrummer110]

@TheSicMetalDrummer No I think hero was a great band grotesquely changed by the record producer to fit a bubble gum thing that Hero definetly wasn't intened to be. Still paid large money..and it's something you failed at the audition with your Portnoy wannabe mentality. hahahaha..Double kicks for hero?? hahahahaha

[jadrummer110]

@TheSicMetalDrummer sure thing kid. You wouldn't have auditioned. What a delusional pipsqueak non bread winner whiner you are kid.. Beside you are getting too old for that little mosquito sounding snare bullsgit aren't you?

[jadrummer110]

@TheSicMetalDrummer It wasn't "my" band.. I did a two album recordind contracts with it. I was hired to do that.

You wouldn't? Oh wait.. "timing" was the criteria that the producer was looking for. He said that you failed at the audition in that dept. You showed up with double kick drums trying to impress by sounding like Mike portnoy ..failed bad as usual.. anyway I got that bubble gum gig like it was nothin. Cause it was nothing. It could have been king crimson and it would be mine too. hahah

[rhythmatist2013]

@jadrummer110 cut the bullshit, nobody believes anything you say. not me, not sicmetaldrummer, NOBODY robert fripp wouldve kicked you the fuck out for being an arrogant bastard

[jadrummer110]

@rhythmatist2013 Hey schizo.. believe it or not....you are sicmetal...hahahahahaha...do you like fucking your sister only??

[rhythmatist2013]

@jadrummer110 wrong again buddy the only schizo here is you and your several clone accounts. i can still definitely assure you that i am not thesicmetaldrummer, nor have i ever been. Example A being that he has marching drum equipment, which i do not i stopped using marching gear when i graduated high school. Example B he has favorites of world of warcraft, an online game i have no interest in playing, shall i continue because its quite obvious im not him. you are so predictable jeffy, LOL!!!!!

[rhythmatist2013]

@thesicmetaldrummer dont even bother with the video. It won't do anything except give him more fuel to perpetuate his fantasy world where only he has the right to say whatever he wants and nobody cab correct ho even tho he's talking out of his ass.

[jadrummer110]

@TheSicMetalDrummer Yeah post up bitch. Make sure you're playing. Until then the nerd happy w/Disneyland and banging his sister in that cheap house is you. Dig?

[jadrummer110]

@TheSicMetalDrummer No it's you. The same asswipe that goes to Disneyland with his sister and gets excoted about it. The same nerd who thinks his cheap ass old rat trap house in Nebraska is interesting. The same guy that doesn't have one fucking drum in that cheap ass house. WTF on earth would you be showing some other asshole's cheap house. Sre you ashamed now that I busted your non player deluxe ass. Blue Knights? hahahahahahahahaha You have never even held a drum stick before. Suckass metal

[rhythmatist2013]

@jadrummer110 you are STILL an idiot. go crawl back into your hole us humans are done with you for today.

[rhythmatist2013]

@TheSicMetalDrummer his record deal was a load of crap, his band had the worst possible bubble-gum garbage pop sound ever, it makes justin bieber sound like john lennon. somebody has recently been reposting some songs in order to show the world of jeff amazing (or lack of) drum skills. if you really want to here how horrible they were the links are around somewhere. but of course we're the same person so why am i telling you this LOL

[jadrummer110]

@rhythmatist2013 = sicmetal and now he's talking to himself. This dude peeps is not a drummer (no vids of him anywhere) and is quite the nutjob posting videos of his old ass house as the main feature on his channel.. Wow. Quite forgetable..

[rhythmatist2013]

@jadrummer110 how many times can i tell you that thesicmetaldrummer is not me. never was. never will be. i dont think i can make that fact any clearer. MORON.

[jadrummer110]

@TheSicMetalDrummer That's you dude. Quit lying. You are missing a chair or two at the dining table???Known for what? Boring people to death with bullshit little houses in bumfuk Arkansas? BORING!!!! Who's the child here.??? You have no drum videos. You at least know that I had record deals in the late 70's. You have anything? hahahahahahaha UR nutjob really?

[rhythmatist2013]

@jadrummer110 hey shit for brains, you do realize that if that actually was his video it would be posted in the UPLOADS section and not the FAVORITES section right? no?? oh yeah thats right you're an idiot with no common sense. my bad

[jadrummer110]

@TheSicMetalDrummer Known for what? Boring people to death with bullshit little houses in bumfuk Arkansas? BORING!!!! Who's the child here.??? You have no drum videos. You at least know that I had record deals in the late 70's. You have anything? hahahahahahaha

[banana12455]

Ladies, ladies....calm yourselfs.

[jadrummer110]

@TheSicMetalDrummer If it's not you who is it? Your gay lover? BTW did you tell tittie man here to take a good poop before hitting the set?

[MrMoterhed]

jadrummer...You still pretending to be a drummer???  LOL!!!! LOL!!!!!!

[jadrummer110]

@TheSicMetalDrummer BTW.. Do you actually think anybody gives a fuck about your cheapass house? Do you think that you are interesting? nd if it was my house (too cheap for me), There would be drums in most every room. You are a hoaxster about being a drummer.

[jadrummer110]

@TheSicMetalDrummer =rythmatist and isn't fooling me. BTW tell man titties here that he makes people uncomfortable to watch his spazz ass play. He better stick to session work only. That way nobody will have to vomit watching his dorky ass play like a stiff dick is up his ass. besides that he has no chops or dynamic range. All soft stick work is what he's limited too. No? Play a Buddy Rich snare solo and make me eat my words.. Can't? cut it down to a Carl Palmer snare demo..Can't??

[rhythmatist2013]

@jadrummer110 fooling you about wut? are you making stories up again??

[rhythmatist2013]

@jadrummer110 if you really think we are the same person you are truly an idiot because i just spoke to him for the first time last night.

[jadrummer110]

@rhythmatist2013 U R same guy as rythmatist. Y do u lie about it? Did you tell tittie man what I said?

[jadrummer110]

@TheSicMetalDrummer Dream on that he's better than me.!!!! He

s far from my caliber and depth. Besises he's been practicing this same track for years ..I'll nail with more finess and assurance by the second pass. The way he looks? I'm sure glad I don';t have that srick up my ass look. Very uncool.. Heplays lightweight funk pretty good . But that 's all he's got.. Word. I can tell.

[rhythmatist2013]

@jadrummer110 and you've proven what other than the fact that you have a big mouth and live in a fantasy world created in your head. go get a life loser

[123shunn]

he killing the beat no lie!!!!!!!!!!!

[DrumKitt87]

@123shunn Thanks!!

[MrMoterhed]

jadrummer110........You still pretending to be a drummer???/ LOL!!! LOL!! LOL!!!!

[jadrummer110]

@TheSicMetalDrummer You? Mr "rudiments, big deal!!!" I learned those when I was 6 years old"!!!.....

Hahahaha. Sure twerp. Now you're impressed with some (all be it very good ghost notes) ruffs??? Sure thing Mr I've played and know the biggest names in the business. Sure thing.. tell this very good but limited to lightweight funk drummer( Dennis Chambers level he will never be) to take a good shit before he sits on the throne again. he looks constipated as hell... hahahahaha

[Tardsnake]

I think you should put your chest into it a little more...show them titties more. lol sounds good man.

[DrumKitt87]

@Tardsnake Lol, thanks

[jadrummer110]

I agree that the posture is wrong looking....The dude looks constipated and having no fun being such a tightass... Plays funk great though. I wonder if you can solo???

[jadrummer110]

@TheSicMetalDrummer How difficult the beat is??? hahahahaha

[AbrubtParadox]

im sorry, but if u disliked this video, ur just jealous

[DrumKitt87]

@TheSicMetalDrummer Thanks! I've been playing for a little over 12 years now!

[musiqboxx08]

i need that snare lol

[Drummerjazz7]

Bro u sound awesome man! Very tight and groovy. Im surprised that they didnt pick you. You shouldve soloed way more tho. Thats probly why, but really nice stuff man :)

[DrumKitt87]

@Drummerjazz7 Thanks man! I wish I could have been picked too, but there's always next time! Gotta keep on working hard!

[GibbyCanes]

I'd love to finish this video but I see your Tripping Billies cover in the sidebar and I can't wait another 3 minutes

[DrumKitt87]

@GibbyCanes Ha, thanks! Let me know what you think of that one!

[iKickChickenzz]

Dude, you're amazing. not missing a beat and this song sounds hard! funk! how long have you been playing for!?

[DrumKitt87]

[DrumKitt87]

@IamtheHeartandtheSha Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

[ejeckk]

Thank you for that major throw down groove! Great work with that left hand too. Keep on keepin' on.

[DrumKitt87]

@ejeckk Thanks! That left hand took a good few years to start cooperating

[TheDrummerShane]

Dude! Awesome man! I was waiting for some of the those classic Garibaldi fills! I have a few questions. What is the snare? And are you pulling that great sound out of it by rim shot?

Sounds great man, hope to hear from you soon.

[DrumKitt87]

@TheDrummerShane Its a mix of rim shots and ghost notes. The snare is a Tama Metalworks 13x7!

[MrKzone24]

Great posture.

[DrumKitt87]

@MrKzone24 Thanks!

[Van422]

[noahswiss1997]

nice drummin u look lik napolean dynamite

[DrumKitt87]

@noahswiss1997 Thanks!

[vdj1994]

how did you get such good sound?!?!?! & What's the time signature in the beginning?'

[DrumKitt87]

@vdj1994 I close mic'd the whole kit. This song is actually all in 4/4. The fill at the top of the song starts on the fourth beat of the first measure.

[carini7487]

it was ok ive never heard the song before but it sounds like you could of picked a pocket that is more in depth to the natural groove of the song, like i said ive never heard it but

[DrumKitt87]

@carini7487 Thanks for checking out my video! This is actually the drum part written and arranged by David Garibaldi. Check out Tower of Power's album entitled Oakland Zone. Great album!

[jlewww84]

what snare are you using?

[DrumKitt87]

@jlewww84 I'm using a Tama Metalworks 13x7 snare

[kakashi1414]

Solid playing and posture my dude. Keep up the good work and keep on jammin'.

[DrumKitt87]

@kakashi1414 Thanks for the encouragement!!

[kyjello12]

[DrumKitt87]

@kyjello12 Ha, thanks?

[kyjello12]

@DrumKitt87 ohh. and good playing too.

[MrUSChopper06]

Real clean groove man. Beautiful inner-beat work. I'm definitely feeling this video. I'm bout to make my video for this same contest you're doing. There are some videos up with me and my band, but I'm bout to make a well qualified video for the contest now. Seeing as how you killing on it. I can't half-step in this contest. Check us out though if you get the chance. Chad Wesley Band "Everything and More." Tell me what you think.

[DrumKitt87]

@MrUSChopper06 Thanks! I'll definitely check out the Chad Wesley Band and let you know what I think soon! And I'll be looking for some of your drumming videos too!

[MrUSChopper06]

@DrumKitt87

Ok cool. I got you.

[Pioter80]

awesome groove dude

[DrumKitt87]

@GuitdudeQ Thanks a ton GuitdudeQ!! I appreciate the encouragement!!

[FNCdrums]

this guy sucks his chest is pushed out to far and no need to wear glasses when playing drums and the music sucks and the last thing im not gunna say but he looks....wrong

[DrumKitt87]

@FNCdrums Your grammatical incompetence makes it difficult for me discern any logical criticism from your comment.

[playheavier]

@DrumKitt87 go over analyze shit elsewhere, this dudes a tool end of story.

[dualblade6]

@FNCdrums dude, without this "sucky" music, probably half the shit you listen to that you call music, wouldnt exist. and besides, this guys posture is great for drumming and he is actually playing it correctly, go play your shitty escape the fate.

[drescora]

@FNCdrums okay, other than being blatantly rude, your wrong. He is a great drummer, and funk music is on of the best genres. Also, iv'e seen your videos, you ARE a 12 year old kid. if i were you, i wouldn't senselessly point out flaws, that in the end, make no difference.

[tildeath67]

@FNCdrums you are such a dumb fucking idiot. this guys groove is fantastic. and tower of power is one of the best funk banda around. what do you listen to hardcore? you dumb fuck listen to real music.

[snaedwiev]

@FNCdrums

!. Remove your head from your butt.

2. Don't comment on things you know nothing about

3. pull your heard out of your butt again ... it must be some kind of reflexive medical condition caused by having so far up, so often, for so fricken long ....

You Know Nothing About Music, Drums, or apparently the WORLD ... essentially, you have it all backwards ... assJack

[FNCdrums]

@snaedwiev fuck u freak



[snaedwiev]

@FNCdrums

Whaaa???? That's the best you got bucko???

You're Pathetic AssJack

ROFLMAO!!!! Looks like you're losing on this thread ...

Go try your luck on some metal threads or something.

Of course you could ALWAYS smarten up a bit and learn what talent really entails ... regardless of the style. There's good in all ... think you can stretch your head around that concept? Try it you might like it :-D

[Morningstardrummer]

Great job! Good luck in the contest! Nice posture too ;) I love you snare

[DrumKitt87]

@Morningstardrummer Thanks MorningStarDrummer! I appreciate it!!

[Shaded07]

The glasses are too cool

[MrSkullman858]

damn i play fast and technical stuff, but i cant play funk or jazz....im going to learn becuase of ur inspiration towards me.

[DrumKitt87]

@MrSkullman858 I'm glad I could inspire! I love funk! Its got such a great pocket and feel!

[TheFatboykillz]

[platapush]

Killer snare sound.

[DrumKitt87]

@platapush Thanks!! That's a Tama Metalworks 13x7!

[legaeldan]

[DrumKitt87]

[IrrelevantTV]

[DrumKitt87]

@IrrelevantTV Thanks!!

[MikeDrumsForFun]

[DrumKitt87]

@MikeDrumsForFun Yes, this is when Garibaldi there drummer. Great drummer!

[MikeDrumsForFun]

@DrumKitt87 Agreed; one of my idols :D

[snaedwiev]

Dude, you are definitely Mr. Clean and I love the shades.

One constructive comment: watch yourself-you are relaxed and that's GREAT, but I'd personally love to see some "Fire" from you. Make me believe you're feeling what you're playing. Not "BS" theatrics, but A little more spunk(?) You're playing it right .. but you're playing it white (it's cool, so am I ...LOL)

(Frankly and the DG sits too far back these days, I love the old feel)

You got great future ... go for it!

Best of Success to you

[DrumKitt87]

@snaedwiev Thanks for the encouragement! I've gotten a few comments like that, so on my next video (I'm going to cover Ants Marching by Dave Matthews Band) I'm going to work on my energy and stage presence a good bit and see what everybody thinks! Be sure to check it out when I get it up and let me know what you think!

[brandonbush1]

@DrumKitt87 Looking forward to that cover! Carter Beauford (one of the funkiest drummers *I* know of) has an amazing drum style that I've tried to learn from in my own music.

[DrumKitt87]

@JstnJames I love playing with a great bass player as well! I check out your channel and you've got some good stuff! You live anywhere near Atlanta, Ga?

[cecesheart32]

you are sooo inspiring! it takes alot of skill to play drums! i have to restart my drum lessons and i cannot wait.....

[DrumKitt87]

@cecesheart32 Thanks! I'm glad I can be an inspiration!!

[PatrickGstudio]

[DrumKitt87]

@PatrickGstudio Thanks!

[SwiftDuck]

[DrumKitt87]

@samhargrove77 Thanks man! I've been working on portraying that I am having fun, bc I do LOVE playing!

[SnizzFizz]

@DrumKitt87 Dude honestly I hate when people say that It doesn't look like garibaldi or anyone successfully covering any of his material doesn't look like they're having fun. I mean if they understood what it takes to play this kind of stuff and have anything but a look of concentration on your face... oh well I knew you were totally having fun man. Awesome cover, you nailed everything. Oh and idk if you care or not, but my dad wrote this song. So I love it too :)

[cubiche88]

Awesome video brotha!



[syphen90125]

Nice and tight playing. Good posture too.

[lambofgodluver65]
