[tbDrums808]

[alfiebonassward96]

[IAmMattLewis]

@alfiebonassward96 looks like they're from the "m series".

[MBblink182]

@IAmMattLewis yup, its a pair of 14" Meinl M series medium hats. Sounds great.

[asencio08]

he is too light

[tbDrums808]

@pablobambam Aiight then mann, my bad....

[KamenRiderRhino]

7 people are jus mad cuz they cant play like this

[noahbirdrevolution]

The fact that Herbie Hancock and Dr. Dre pay him, coupled with this short clip is enough for me to say he is a quality drummer. I want to see him live with Herbie.

[NerfLad]

Those drums sound awesome!

[s2ry0fdyr]

where's the gospel chop?

[pablobambam]

good drum bad drumming

[tbDrums808]

@pablobambam What???? How can you think that this is bad drumming? Is that a little little jealousy from you?

[pablobambam]

@tbDrums808 nonono friends are jealous if each person has different tastes and I did not like his style and believe me I do not play half of what he plays but it's good to my taste is not no doubt be good for something is in modern drummer and I love dw drumscertainly do not speak English I'm Mexican

Amazing drumming! I don't like that ride cymbal. Sorry.

[stefanmuehlenkamp]

[rchhx]

what is the first song?

[heinzie5]

reassuring to see an awesome drummer who also constantly looks down at his drums when playing. i thought it was just me xD

[drummerguyhughes]

So over the years we've had the Token "metal guy"

and now we obviously have the Token "R&B guy"

[kettellive]

ya what's the second song

[TwisterDethNemesis]

@kettellive Sounds like Planet X... but I'm not sure.

[JuIsTheLaw]

@kettellive I'm pretty sure it's an Allan Holdsworth tune, can't quite remember which one though, sorry.

[Moog168]

@JuIsTheLaw It's "Spokes" :) 

[Moog168]

@kettellive "Spokes" By Allan Holdsworth

Vinnie Colaiuta was on the original recording

[kennethb214]

why the drums sound like that?

[drummerguyhughes]

@kennethb214 cause theres no reverb or tons of compression its how drums sound

[EvilMonk100]

great stuff ;)

[antonioneill]

oh yeah what a legendary song ( the second one !!!!!!!!)

[MattPlaysDrums187]

not too fond of the song, but the playing...my god

[pifa4life]

wow..talk about over playing

[inimicalODDITY]

terrible song,,,,

[MetalCamelChannel]

@inimicalODDITY Who cares.. the drums are awesome.

[NostalgicProcrast]

@MetalCamelChannel Well.. Drums and the rest of the music should go together. Since the song sucks his drums are just on top of it all. The Drums could go with click as well. Hi didn't play for the song.

[MetalCamelChannel]

@NostalgicProcrast The whole point of this festival is for these guys to show off there drum skills and to inspire other drummers. If you want to hear easy stuff that goes well with the music you better go to a normal concert, not to a drum festival. Also, it's his performance so he can play any kind of music he likes.

[philateliceun]

@NostalgicProcrast The drum festival is there so drummers can show off their skills more cause in normal music it doesn't work to have a drummer show off all his chops unlike for instance a singer or guitar player.

[dtdrummerlady]

@inimicalODDITY I agree, but it is probably copyright laws that prevent him from using something we hear on the radio.

[inimicalODDITY]

@dtdrummerlady I think I could of found a better back-track if I were him.

[geriontopowa]

I'm really looking forward for the whole dvd, every year they're getting better and better.

[DeadlyNinjaDrummer]

First.
