Dave MacLeod - Jazz, Shuffle, Metal, Latin

[poonraider1]

Loved the mix of beats. I agree with most, the Jazz pieces were amazing.

[Crusada54]

Would it be possible to get a list of cymbals from left to right in this video? It would be greatly appreciated.

[ACMetan]

metal sucked but jazz thingy was great

[daviethedrummer]

@ACMetan thanks for the comment. Any particular reason why the metal sucked?

[ACMetan]

@daviethedrummer Metal doesn't consist of blast beats... yours was fast, solid and "aggressive" but lacks the beauty of transitions and polyrithms (derek roddy, george kollias and bobby jarzombek sound appealing). It's a matter of preference but constant bpmed single strokes just doesn't give me the spirit. Great job @ recording quality (which I fail) and your openmindedness will lead you somewhere, Cheers

[daviethedrummer]

@ACMetan I agree entirely; the sole purpose of this video was to demonstrate stylistic versatility rather than musical creativity within each defined genre. The metal backing track was deliberately quite bare and I requested the tempo of 200bpm specifically for blasting - assuredly boring to the ear, but extremely fun to play. :)

[blight4hire]

@ACMetan metal drumming consists of alot of blast beats, fast double bass. what he played for metal was suitable and how metal always sounds. if single strokes dont give you the spirit, why did you mention george kollias , derrick roddy when they both use alot of single strokes haha

[RAVENEDD]

@ACMetan YOU SUCK MAN. HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT.

[x360z0cker]

damn fast blastbeat!

[drummer207]

[daviethedrummer]

Heh thank you - I have no idea :D

[j7016698]

so great!!

[JlyBeeetch]

AWESOME, May I ask what cymbals you are using, I just got a Deal with TRX cymbals, want to know what sounds like what ! :]

What ride is that, looks like the Dark

[daviethedrummer]

Hey mate thank you for the complimet!

I went looking for a new cymbal and I had a look at TRX and fell in love with them straight away, so I ended up selling off all my Zildjians/Sabians and buying all TRX, and now I have an endorsement with TRX. Here's my setup in this video:

20" DRK ride

19" and 15" MDM crashes

12" BRT splash

14" LTD hats

All gorgeous cymbals, absolutely top notch. :)

[JlyBeeetch]

Awesome man, thanks for getting back to me :]]

Yes, I play Zildjian and Sabian right now as well. TRX gave me an Endorsement and now I am getting what I can for the moment!

Your set and cymbals sound great

Thanks for the specs!

[Drummerkid74]

Do you have to own TRX cymbals to get an endorsement deal? I have fallen in love with them too but I don't have the money to replace my current cymbals with them. Also, do you think you could tell me if it's possible that I get a deal if I upload a video an you watch it? I want your opinion

[daviethedrummer]

You don't have to own TRX to get an endorsement deal, but you do have to love them :) And yes I can watch your video. :)

[Drummerkid74]

Thanks! I'm at my grandma's for Thanksgiving, I'll make one as soon as I get home. Would you be able to tell better through a drum cover or a drum solo?

[daviethedrummer]

Either or is fine :)

[Drummerkid74]

I'm about to post it. It's rendering. But first, I want to tell you a few things.

1. I'm 12

2. I know it has mistakes, it was the 1st time I've played the song in about 2 months

3. I wasn't aiming to play an exact copy, I like to enjoy myself a little more than that

4. It has some syncing issues in it, because some frames got dropped when I was putting it onto my computer

5. It would've had mics, but my mixer isn't working and 1 mic didn't sound good AND it got out of sync

[Yuadio]

do you have to pay for them when you're endorsed or anything, or is it a discount or free?

[xcelpast]

when he play hip-hop is hat changes direction

[Vivec350]

no realy dude, you have to do more hip hop mixed stuff. It makes the song sound better ^^ . and I love that spin you did !

[r390gt1lm]

all vid was pain, but 2:10-2:30 fkn OWNz0rs lol

[Vivec350]

Very nice and impressive . I love the part from 2:12 to 2:30 :) 5*

[tdog609]

[DavidPartay]
