Theo's drum solo on a DW drum with a Ludwig snare

[robmoth]

How can anyone dislike this? It is beyond perfect. Absolutely mind blowing technique. Really enojy watching your vids, nice one :)

[musicminds]

heheh! wonderful! 

[MrDrummertheo]

@musicminds

Thank you......

[Jay435]

That was fun, I dug it! It's always nice to hear grooves in a solo too. The kit sounds nice as well. Your personality comes through in your playing - that's signature. Rock on (groove on too.)

[XXXXKISXXXX]

Great passion & joy, & an acoustic kit!!!!!!!

[GBWagner1]

Not a dull second. Fantastic technic and playing! I missed only a bit the timbales.

[frankieruizII]

[TheTepitin]

Amazing Mr Theo :)

[MrDrummertheo]

@TheTepitin

thank you very much....

[1drumfreak1]

Excellent improv & technique!

[kevjay777]

You have nice technical skill. I hope not to come across as pompous or arrogant but to humbly suggest that for your next solo you aim for making music with drums. What you did here was not music. It was a drum solo. Drum solos suck if they don't speak to the soul. You can do it if you stop trying to impress with speed alone.

I'm simply trying to offer positive input, I am not trying to come across as an Ivory Tower type of asshole. Your solo did showcase some nice creativity. Thanks 4 sharing.

[TheSmolderingfire]

wie hastn das mit dem 2 hi hat hingegriegt?^^

[MrDrummertheo]

@TheSmolderingfire

Hi Smolderingfire,

ich habe die beiden Pedale nebeneinander. Ich habe dann einfach meinen linken Fuß quer über beide Pedale gelegt und dann abwechselnd mit Hacke und Zehenspitzen gespielt....

[MrDrummertheo]

@MCguit88

Thanx......

[Hielkenator]

awesome, so much feeling went into this. You are feeling the drums.

[Iammexichilango]

[ProjectYBand]

Man new dimension to drums that was sick....

What types of DW were they? And do you use UE's or ear plugs cause it must get pretty loud.

[MrDrummertheo]

@richiethegent

At first thank you very much.

This set have maple shells...

[snakeeyes45]

@MrDrummertheo Awesome drumming ! And love the tone of the toms !!!!!

[megadrummer2]

Pretty hot man !! Nice drums.

@megadrummer2

[101Kurts]

If I play drums every day for an hour is it enough?

[glitterkiss2010]

Great job, love your hair!!! :) 

[snackeye12]

ROIDS

[ndhudecz]

Great job...

[deeppurple1994]

Sehr geniales Solo!

Die Ludwig Snare hat einen wirklich schönen Sound :)

Nur eine Frage: Ist das ihr privates Studio? Scheint ein ziemlich guter Raum für Aufnahmen zu sein - dazu der Kameramann! Da kann man nur neidisch werden, wenn man es nicht schon vom Solo wird ;)

Thumbs up!

[MrDrummertheo]

@deeppurple1994

Hi deeppurple1994

Erst einmal vielen Dank. Ja, ist bei mir im Proberaum. Diese Video hab ich noch mit relativ alten Mikros bzw. Mischpult aufgenommen.

Bei dem Video hatte ich überhaupt keine Ahnung von Audio-Aufnahmen. Ich hab einfach irgendwelche Knöpfe gedrückt in der Hoffnung, die Mikros nehmen auf....lol Mit dem TD 20 war es noch sehr leicht. Doch mit dem Akustik Set war es schon schwieriger.Die Vid´s hat ein Bekannter für einen Freundschaftspreis gemacht.

[MrDrummertheo]

@deeppurple1994

......die neueren Videos hab ich allerdings alles selber gemacht...

[bluesdrummer715]

Ever hear and see Tito Pascoal??? The 16 year old has his own page here! Very Impressive!!

[12groney]

Excellent, you display a nice array of styles in this vid. You have a good "pocket groove".

[adonai1009]

and your drums are a great answer as well. you love the US but you probably love Germany just as much. DW - one of the best American drum makers. Meinl - THE best German cymbals (; . Great solo by the way

[pokemetalfan]

You remind me of....... Myself! You use alot of the skills i like to use but your clearly more experienced than I because you use those skills with much more precision and speed. Nice Job man i think your great :D

[ianbhtube]

What a drummer.!!!!! This must be about a million punds worth of gear. I want it hahaha

[ianbhtube]

What a drummer!!! This must be a bout a millions pounds worth of gear. I want it haha

[jimboishere11]

Wow, this beats the other one i just watched!!

[codmyster1992]

got that roll in the beginning from one word.

[punkiztachris]

can you give me any drum concept?

[timdrumz]

Wow Theo!!! You are GREAT, man!!!

[kook1028]

the hair makes your drumming 10 times better im convinced! dont you ever cut that! \m/

[ThoseGuysCommentary]

Definitely favoriting this :D Awesome stuff.

[nbryc]

This lady can play.

[brainman214]

Theo Dude:

Cool buzzroll!Can you do Tomrolls straight out in brief five min.segments?I tried in the 60's when i had a jr.trap set but had to rest my arm muscles.Kee the Drums Rollin!Brainy at BrainmanMedia Services

[archaicedes]

sounds awesome dude.

[DeathcoreRikk]

amazing! =]

[XPAC03]

I love you style. your very good! if i may ask how much did all of that cost?

[TimoPlaysDrums]

Aha, ein landsmann... Das machts ja richtig geil.... Deine Steigerung in diesem Video: unmenschlich!!! Grössten Respekt!!! Gruss, Timo

[Killenmachine05]

man that kit is beautiful, a drummers dream and a soundmans nightmare all in one

[hamjamnspamalot]

Hey Theo, alles sind gut, mein Freund? (lol)....yeah, excuse my bad German.....thank you very much for sending this video, everytime I see one of these I just gotta say "...damn.." . Just been a bit busy this past week. Hey, when I can get my camera up and running, show ya new bargain I've got for my electronic set.....I picked up a Roland SPD-20 Octapad, brand new, free stand, for only $1070 (Australian dollars).....that was a saving of $300!!! Thank God for the nice guys at Billy Hyde's :-)

[sandblast93]

very nice playing! do you lay in a band? how are you finding the meinl cymbals?

[ls1jay]

Beautiful finish on those DW's!

[Bluemoon4655]

great drumming dude, but i have one question are american or german, i only ask cause you have a USA shirt on?

[MrDrummertheo]

@Bluemoon4655

Hi Bluemoon 4655,

Thank you very much. So, I´m German, but I love America and the people of America. They build good drums, cars and motorcycles, that is the reason why I wear the shirt.

[JamonjiCahillibongo]

@MrDrummertheo ...i'm with you on the drums...America buils GREAT drums. The BEST in fact but the germans and the swiss build the best cymbals and the best cars in the world FACT!!! that's why the whole of america/rest of world longs to drive a BMW/VW/MERC and play Paiste/Meinl cymbals...as for motorcycles... the Japs do it best...!!!

;-)

[straitaheadjazz]

@MrDrummertheo lol thats crazy, i play sonor sq2 over dw collectors and i am state side, great playing mate

[chancedrums]

@MrDrummertheo you guys make the BEST BEER

[xxxswoodyxxx]

@MrDrummertheo that is a great response. u germans build great cars too. btw.

[muddack]

@MrDrummertheo American cars suck Ass! The German Volkswagon is the most efficient and reasonably priced we have over her,. and there are many others as well but it is nice of you to say that. Don't worry you don't have to be nice to Americans! you are a great drummer and your talent speaks for you! Rock On!!

[toddy1968]

@MrDrummertheo They build good drums, cars and motorcycles? Not anymore dude... Maybe drums—and only if they're Ludwigs.

[johnnylarue1]

sounds good, killer kit

[jashley4]

Nice kit! You are very good my friend!!

[pcmbdl01]

Sounds good theo. Don't listen to the negative comments. I have an extensive musical background and have been playing for more than 20 years and your solo is well performed.

[wolfpack9iloilo]

I like like your brass snare...sounds good..Amazing drums mate..

[StreamOfMetal]

Hello Theo...I´ve seen your other videos and they are great!!! But this...sound like a 16 year old kid trying to play more than he can...And I really feel bad saying this, because your ROSANNA cover sounds great...But this...I dont like : (

[legorte]

excelent great drummer... congratulations men..

[Takadean]

Amazing!

[DJordydj]

WOW!!

Is THIS the drum set that costs over 10,000$???

[pokemetalfan]

What is that sound that comes in about 2:12 ? it sounds like a jam block but i dont see one and i dont see you hitting anything to correspond with the sound?

[niborum]

assez peu inventif.. :-(

[drush2112]

man you're awesome thanks for sharing your talent with us, greetings from the Dominican Republic btw that solo was sick!!!!!, keep those vids coming, thanks!!!!!!

[joeymcnew37209]

Killer! Great job!

[tamadrummer101]

what mics do you use?

[leope26]

you're a master!!!

[MrDrummertheo]

Thanx Mike.....

[kingmike3000]

amazing speed! You are dope.

[djladydrummer]

Yes !! Totally enjoyed this solo !

[Bluemoon4655]

nice!!, are you a pro drummer

[uhstud68]

great playing man. finally someone on youtube who can actually play. well done. oh and btw, all the people complaining about the sound and mixing need realize that its how u play not what the drums sound like. good job

[MrDrummertheo]

@uhstud68

Thank you very much.

[drush2112]

@panede you're a dumb ass you think you can do it better grab a camera and a set of sticks and try doing a drum solo you fag!!!!!!

[panede]

A fat gay guy who don't have any kind of tallent! sorry

[emilshere]

@panede why dont you put a video up of yourself and we can comment on your talent (and physique)???

[number1drummerman]

@panede The sentiment conveyed in your first sentence counteracts the "sorry", so you're not really sorry, just flippant. Also, "talent" is spelled with one L, not to mention the fact that "don't" should've been "doesn't". Ps. This guy is good!

[miisu]

@panede You sir are fucking idiot.

[drush2112]

@panede did you knew that "the fat gay guy" as you call him is a boxer with 6 consecutive ko's i'll bet he can whoop your ass in a split of a secondso try to be a little more respectful in the future!!!! pajarasoo!!!

[ytbtgt]

@panede well your talent obviously isn't spelling or grammar.

[imakery]

its not a drum solo unless you flip your bleach blond shoulder length hair around (1:58)

SUCCESS

[MrDrummertheo]

Yes, that´s true. Unfortunately I can not mix.But I'll get to the next recording, a friend who will help me.

[thekidwithastrat15]

your hi hats are too loud in the mix and your crashes mics are poorly positioned. bass drums probs soudn good in person but not in this mix =/ good playing though. i love dws and that black beauty sounds phenominal.

[cavoglavi]

OMG pinstripes on toms...kill yourself....

[NikeDrums]

nisan ni sumnja da ovakvi komentari dolaze iz hrvatske.

[Fweekalyn]

this guy is half man, half amazing. great drum solo!

[brainman214]

cool ludwig snare drumroll and nice tom rolls though brief! But I love tom rolls too!

I hope you can post nice long tom rolls!

Thanks for this! Brainy

[groovingsoul]

Just my opinion but I kinda feel BILL COBHAM influences.

[MrDrummertheo]

Congratulations. You have a good ear. I have all Billy Cobham records. I love Billy.

[zambizzi]

Nice playing, the Black Beauty sounds fantastic. Is it hammered?

The bass drums sound pretty terrible, IMO. They might be tuned well but sound bad through the mics.

[drhbettathanu]

at 3:23 your mics didnt pick up that cymbal hit. very good solo :D

[farouqleftback]

I just love the sound of your snare.

[BodomBlastBeats]

i only watch this video to hear how the generation x filter chinas sound but you didn't use one of the three

[readme60]

nice hair old timer! good drum solo!

[Drummoturg]

Thank You very much for very good solo!!!

[Greggorath]

what kind of mics do you use?

[MrDrummertheo]

i use, Shure and AKG Mics. And for the Bass Drums Beyerdynamics

[johanssonmatte]

insane, really amazing.

[skangmox]

solo was good. but after watching the rest of your vids. Major props dude. You have agreat little studio and looks like you have a blast playing.

[crozzara]

Excelent.. What´s your snare? supraphonic?

[MrDrummertheo]

Thank you, yes it is a supraphonic snare.

[TripJ75]

Do you have DIECAST hoops on your snare?

[MisterBenne]

God dammit, u r a great pro of playing drums. Wish I could do it that way. Pretty cool job. Well done

[MrDrummertheo]

Oh, thank you very very much for the Kompliment.

[MrDrummertheo]

Yes, Meinl Cymbals are the rhythm of my soul.

[easye727]

Meinl all the way.

[MrDrummertheo]

Yes, you're right. I´m not god in mixing. I was glad it even a ton came from the mixer.

[TheMusicWiz]

@MrDrummertheo

I beg to differ...I think this was a really great tuning, and nice open sound ;o)

[drumdoc]

nice drumming but the worst sounding DW i have ever heard

[alfista16]

Cool, 5*

[minime220220]

don't really like the sound of the bass or hi-hat, but really nice solo!

[cassaerullante]

Cool, nice chops and I love the 2/3 clave on left foot! Which pro-mark sticks are you using ?

[ephrem]

ur the best the drummer of ol tym

[MrDrummertheo]

Thank you very much.

[Paramoremoremour]

Wicked.

[MrDrummertheo]

Thanx
