Rick Fedyk Extreme Drum Solo

[RegBpiano]

I remember when I used an apple webcam for the first time

[exitplan2]

out fucking standing

[twelge15]

You deserve to be in the ultimate Zep tribute band. Forget it. no one comes close.

[drumsanddrumming]

this is the guy who should be touring with Led Zep, despite he does`nt have the right surname!

[yankeeredneck2]

Well.... I'm surprised I haven't run across you before.... Good stuff....

[toddgilbert]

Loved the solo. Hated the affects. I want to see the solo also.

[zackattack94]

wish you wouldnt have done the affects kind of ruined it for me

[drumsanddrumming]

It`s much more difficult than most think to play with your intensity, power and skills. Kudos!

[imnotcrazyaskmytofu]

No.

[obscure666wolfman]

:) wwoo wonderful! lovN it! all the effects

made me watch it over and over again!

[charlessavarese]

Just beautiful, playing, visual effects, the sound of the miked kit, everything. The best part is that you look like a polish version of John Bonham. You really should be in a top-notch Zep tribute band. Nastrovia!

[doublekicks2004]

keep the effects off next time. dont turn into a guitar player ;)

[eRnsthendrixon]

Brilliant! :-)

[rletherer]

very nice work.Most impressive feel. I've been studying zeppelin since age 10. I'm now 45. I started drumming when I was 19. Very very few drummers actually get the kind of feel you have. drums sound great also. Keep up the great work brother I'll keep an eye on your postings.

[drumsanddrumming]

yes- enough Bonham to be great and enough Fedyk to make an own character.

[rletherer]

very nice work.Most impressive feel. I've been studying zeppelin since age 10. I'm now 45. I started drumming when I was 19. Very very few drummers actually get the kind of feel you have. It would be interesting to see how well you play on regular songs. To tell whether or not to play on top are behind the beat. It drums sound great also. Keep up the great work brother I'll keep an eye on your postings.

[koke666im]

oooo los efectos geniales la cago muy bueno ..

[x2bnex2me]

Very nice.

[stainwalk]

i hate the editing so much!!!, he solo is so freaking amazinf i want to c it!!!!

[joeysmachine]

Love the way he used the edge of his snare to get that pingy sound, could do without the graphics because I want to see him play!

Very Good!

[mogodbilealadamnbama]

Hiya Joey, I think that's called a "rim shot". Just a hunch, lol. No, this ain't basketball, it's percussion related. "Pingy sound"? Agree about the effects. I can see double without 'em well enough!

[scopata201]

amazing, i wish i could drum like you!

[nitdawn09]

excellent..

[PaulWilliamsWorld]

Just great!

[jazzaholick]

Dude dont listen to all the bs on here you rock and thats it. The video FX are awesome and so are you dont stop playin. i wish i knew how to do the vid fx i have a similar drumming style and i love JB loved his 30min solo with the psychedelic sounds at the end that is the shiz that inspires the rest of us to pick up sticks and play. PEACE.

[RickFedyk]

Thanx Dude I will always keep playing and listen to new artist. I am working on some new vids. So stay tuned in.

Rick.

[drumsanddrumming]

Very nice, I really appriciate different styles of drumming, what could be more boring than every drummer playing the same?

[theaggravator]

yawn...

[a1gold174]

theaggravator-

dick.

[Masakerr]

very nice, more bass. If you love odd measurements check me out! I can play every genre. I don't use the snare as a time keeper like most drummers. I'm always using different cymbal speeds that don't necessarily even sound good, but are more challenging because it's not norm. lol

[cassaerullante]

Player is awesome. Video fx are annoying

[colrick1234]

would have loved to have watched this great player. Did not like the camera bullshit

[aturbulence]

reminds me John Bonham

[theaggravator]

Me too, I was waiting for the part where he keels over and drowns in his puke.

[zosojb]

i have a cat who loves playing a solo like that.

[theaggravator]

Wow, what a coincidence, I have a big ass dog who eats cats that play solos like that!

[Ludwag511]

No offense or anything but it looks like you have two penises and theyre playing the drums on the split mirror effect. lol

[youngloudandsnotty77]

hahahah you tell the truth my friend.

[Ludwag511]

ludwig 402?

[sticksbass]

5 all around!

[WARLOCK70]

Nice solo man! What program are you using for effects?

[OpaPop]

fucking effects :(

but good drum solo :)

[jamiehumbug99]

OMG!

Those effects make it hard to see.

[mg4150]

Wow Rick,

I really love your playing! You are truly a master on the drumkit! Very inspiring!

[wilhamcobly]

Bravo

[DanielRobertFrosT]

You rock dude, keep it heavy

[charlessavarese]

Tell me, are you a fan at all of Ian Paice? He's another great drummer from Bonzo's era, and still very active with Deep Purple today. His stuff is not so easily replicated. Alot of Buddy Rich speed freak chops. Remember his solo "The Mule"?

[mogodbilealadamnbama]

You replied to this a year ago, and if you remember what you said about Ian Paice, I'd be amazed. I got another one for you. His stuff doesn't sound hard at all, but try playing it- Ritchie Hayward. He's the heartbeat of "Little Feat".

[charlessavarese]

I think I remember saying that Bonham's stuff was alot easier to rip-off than Paice's. Amazed?

[charlessavarese]

Just checked out Richie Hayward. Very tasteful and original style.

[mogodbilealadamnbama]

Yes, I am amazed. I can't remember what I said yesterday. Richie is, in my mind, way underrated. I mean, he recorded "Fatman in the Bathtub" and "Day at the Dog Races", for cryin' out loud. Never mind "Feats Don't Fail Me Now". I think, at least I hope, he is still alive. Last I heard he has cancer of the liver. Generally not a good prognosis.

[LouddrummerO]

That was amazing! solid chops! great stick control.

[aronizer]

Damn, I love that snare sound! Great drumming too

[MyUsername6789]

IF I close my eyes I think I am listening to a live version of Moby Dick!

[bcnu62]

beautiful well structured solo

[vincevega0]

That's was freakin awesome!

[ravenshire43]

Rick that is some awesome drumming. You got it down very, very well. I think the vid description says it all "Heavy and hard but backed up with many years of study..." Note that part kids. Drumming like this doesn't come without practice, practice, practice.

[RickFedyk]

Thank you for that complement.

Yes I still like to practice even after all these years.

Thanks again.

Rick

[Avedisdrummer09]

@ravenshire43 Don't think of it as practice though. Just play and love what you do and you'll continue to grow. If you think of what you are doing as practice, it will gradually wear you down. Think of it as playing music and you'll end up putting in more hours a day than you ever realized. That's how you get this good. Nice video.

[pedrodynamite]

Oh my god

John Bonham born!

[SpikernHolme]

WooW Great!!!!!!!!!!

cool vid (Y)

[beefjerky3]

jimmy page,s production gave bonham,s drums a powerhouse sound. it seems as though you,ve done a couple of things rick,,,you,ve reproduced that sound, and your style of playing is so bonhamesque. the left hand control and power is a bonham trademark.

[Pearlwig]

Great Bonzo style drumming.Brilliant!!

[ellyhm0110]

OK!!! Thanks for taking time answering my questions Rick.... Rock on!!!!!!!!!

[ellyhm0110]

Hey, Rick do you practice a lot too?? To become that good?? Sorry for the flooding but i just got ask these questions I have in my head that i cant ask people from here.. Now that I have a chance to ask a very good drummer like you and skillful I might add, is a chance that i wont let it pass...

[RickFedyk]

Yes I still practise, not as much as I would like to. I try to listen to different styles of music to keep my mind and drumming fresh.You where asking about chops which means to me adding drum fills around a drum groove. I do work on finger control but I really depend on having strong wrists.

Thanks for your questions.

Rick

[ellyhm0110]

Hey, Rick.. What does chop mean? I saw your other video SMOOTH CHOPS WITH POWER but i cant tell what chops are.. Damn.... (T_T)

[ellyhm0110]

Really? I have the same theory too.... AT last, a drummer that understands conserving energy... Do you also practice your fingers? I mean the ones that does now hold the stick but help in the rebounds... Do you get what i mean?

[ellyhm0110]

U got arm endurance man i give u that and some pretty nice hand moves....

[ellyhm0110]

Does your arms hut man?

[RickFedyk]

No my arms do not hurt.I try to keep relaxed as much as possible when soloing. Thanks for your comment.

[mg4150]

Wow! I love your playing!

[Canadiancouple]

Holy crap! That was brilliant!
