Drum Solo - Dave Atkinson #3

[kerpeler]

perfect

[abcdog350]

give me someone who doesnt know how to drum..and in two weeks ill have them playing this..

[killswitch3ngag3]

@abcdog350 Wouldnt it be better if you posted a video of yourself playing this?

[nightwolf137]

@abcdog350 No, you won't.

[InformationANGEL]

@abcdog350 NEVER

[M0lk]

yeah put a response video and we´ll see... even if you were better... i bet you cannot beat his manboobs XD

XD

[moleboythedrummer100]

@sliberti dont be such a skeptic your probarly not that good either. everyone has thier weaknesses and strength

[TJDav14]

yeah ur completely right he's good but not great. neil peart is a good example of an INCREDIBLE drummer

[Oxpost]

@Gandophar He's good but if this guy's the best you've seen, you haven't seen to many drummers.

[sliberti]

No offense but this is what I would expect from a 2nd or 3rd year player... needs a little work on dynamics and finesse.... typical stuff and way too dependent on the double pedal. Get in the shed....

[GavinClementMelanson]

@sliberti i know what you mean and there's nothing wrong with it...but maybe you can consider that it's just his style? even though i find the double bass peddle annoying after a while of just hitting those 8th notes...he probably thinks it sounds awesome...So yeah...just putting that out... and just in case i was wrong i wasnt exactly sure if they are 8th notes...im more of a technical player(guitar)...not much theory in my background...

[OGTheDemon]

@sliberti  the best like to rely on double pedals portnoy adler hoglan peart. list goes on man

[OGTheDemon]

@sliberti and if ur referin to jazz thats a whole nother type of drumming cant compare the 2 completely different styles

[zel4sho]

madd respect to this guys double bass skill

[lanewood49]

@samoamoo the tempo does change..

[nick77789878787]

man I'm sooooooooooooooo tired of people talking about them when they are pro's at this just because u can play doesn't mean that u can judge them on there work so shut the f*** up

[MrGildenlow92]

there's too much portnoy in this solo

[FarmerDawg10]

@MrGildenlow92

Is there really such a thing as TOO MUCH portnoy? like really.

[MrGildenlow92]

@FarmerDawg10 yeah. there is

[FarmerDawg10]

@MrGildenlow92

wow way to be negative about a perfectly good solo. Boner kill...

[sjman409]

well that was one of the worst solos I've ever heard. I could never take lessons with this guy. he doesn't understand the concept of a solo, and he didnt even do what jared falk said which is to tell a story. my verdict: mediocre.

[EUPHORiCKiD]

@sjman409 and you can do better? Dave has so much talent. So he didn't do a solo to your standards. Don't down talk his ability to teach.

[johnsendell1]

@sjman409 my verdict: dickhead

[TulusKammer]

Compared to the other two solos, this one is by far the worst, IMHO is pretty boring, and he also looked like he didn't want to do the solo.

[kheywood]

How can you drum like that and still be overweight? This guy is great... just put the drumming stool farther away from the fridge dude

[skillnub70]

RRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOFL!

[PanzerFaust001]

@kheywood

That's a really retarded comment dude. Really.

[aassyr1111]

pretty good

[suyoplive]

i really idolize dave atkinson. i like the solo very much. pls give me a tip on how to do the fast double pedal beating

[fallenangel328]

suyoplive

i'll give you the most hated answer

and that is prectice

[Alefeneves1]

nossa esse kra é fã do mike portnoy tambem em copia tudo

[spamhead2k]

Give the guy some credit come on now, i know he doesnt compare to portnoy or peart, but that was still a good solo.

[SuperMonkeyNuts]

I didnt like the way his left foot didnt even touch the hi-hat pedal.. Too much doubal pedal in there, would of been more impressive with some technical stuff in there

[LPDXDX]

ha he just had to lose the drum stick at the end xD lol.

[Em4Freak]

the snare sound is really muffling hate it

[LPDXDX]

wat so how do you want it to sound like, huh? it sounds ok!

[osibalasi]

For me,.. I think a solo is showing on what you can do about the instrument your playing,.. it's not necessarily that you play on the beat,...as long as there is a groove on what you are playing.

[xTurnipTimex]

Best solos ever are off time solos.. cause you can do whatever the heck you like LOL

[Tarkus842]

is that sound pure or equalized?

[jamespollard1992]

he's not amazing it must be said :/ but still pretty cool

[iszli]

nice!

[dustyrose91]

Like, the wrong one

[msvidaperez]

For all the maestros here. A metronome is not required for a drum solo nor does the drummer need to follow a groove.  That's why it's called a solo.

[IZONZION]

solos arent like playing songs, if you watch any instrument solo its just showin off what you can do, not how well you keep time for a band thats not playing with you at the moment

[PyroSam1990]

oh please... it's a drum solo...

[chicostixx]

I been drumming for over 20 years and, there is NOTHING wrong with this performance in my opinion. Keep up the great work Dave.

[Bokensewins]

not really a drum solo changing temp every 6 seconds

[JonyBoyHache]

Love the new intro music.

[vladusko78]

nice double bass technique:)))

[Lancaniseraren]

Good enough technically but I just can't "feel" it.

Groove more, smash less imo!

[poundld01]

thats what my dad says when i try to play a drum solo sometimes :) he helps me all lot!!

[jemerb18]

the drums are heavily compressed so even if he did play with feeling, we are not able to hear it. :)

[benjef]

Nice

[HEYBUDD]

HEY DAVE!

Get a metronome.

[dantheman23312]

dude i know!
