[FadleeOFFICIAL]

[thevictory12345]

really cool, I can feel the solid 4/4 with the with the cymbals and snare, while everything else bounces around. A sign of good musicianship, Grooves like fook! good job dude.

[SinisterSkip]

Often when the snare sounds awesome, it's miced further away than usually, like here! Gives a much fuller snaresound it seems.

[666bosseh666]

Cool man!

[allhailpantera123]

I'm tabbing the drums for this right now, by watching this video. The groove is so natural and simple, but as soon as you try to write it down, it's just like :O :O :O

[suicidemetal]

[AlleLugari]

That snare sound is fucking damn awesome.

[Jordy666sic]

[alextwdrums]

dude this is amazing! totally gonna ATTEMPT learning this! whats your china btw?

[XDMikeyThePikeyXD]

@alextwdrums Thanks a lot bud! It's a 19" AA xtreme wide lip china w/brilliant finish.

[howycwap]

@XDMikeyThePikeyXD

where do you get wide lipped version? or is the wide lipped version standard

[XDMikeyThePikeyXD]

@howycwap the cymbals vary slightly on their angles, especially with the chinas. Some have a really washy oriental sound with the less narrow angle, but the sharp angle seems to give it more 'crash'

[howycwap]

@XDMikeyThePikeyXD

ah, i did not know that
