I don't know the song, but it seemed like you really murdered the song. I think your timing was off and it seemed as if you were just banging on those crashes.
this is pretty normal, to get off time. the reason is, you have to focus to much on the timming, cause it's off, just like everyone else said. I have been playing drums for 20 years. metronomes are the key to tight playing, everything else will fall into place, like nailing that chamber double that you are making a good attempt at. play with a metronome for a year straight everytime you practice for at least 15 minutes and see what happens! the best drummers in the world will say the same
im pretty sure you didnt play an actual fill from the entire song, even the triplets on the hi hat and stuff coming into the bridge.
and the double bass needs alot of work, keep it tight bro, work with a metronome or something, each note is suppose to be nice and even, in volume and time.
im not trying to bash, just constructive criticism.
work some paradiddles with your hands and feet, LRLL RLRR
hah none taken...this video is mad old and i hadn't played for a month or so before it. hadn't warmed up either. i'm a lot better now. i need to get another video up.
No problem dude lol. They are the Pearl Eliminator Pedals, he is using the double one in this video and we were discussing the different "cams" you can use which are to change your playing style and such, only avalible with pearls pedals ;D
Hey! Hey! If you want to really learn how to play Memphis Will Be Laid To Waste, look up Chaserrr! He plays this song with a phenomenal setup and amazing technique. Not to sound critical, but I think he is by far the overall best drummer I have seen thus far performing this type of music and more. Check it out!
yeah...i know it is. the problem is i could hardly hear the music and the song actually changes tempo. so hearing the tempo change was hard. i was really only fooling around when i filmed this. it wasn't meant to be critiqued but i guess that's what i get for putting it on the internet.
Just watch Chserr's Video then youlll see what it is supposed to like like when you play it correctly...Im not saying your bad just watch it then re record this song and I bet you do 10 times better
i want to punch your face in, he does realy decently, he just messed up the first switch in the begining, he keeps a fine beat. and can play the song almost spot on shut the fuck up faggot
idk...it's hard for me to say really because i haven't played many different snares but what i can say is that it is a very sharp, ringy snare. i would suggest playing one before you buy it.
watch ur time...
ur beats get a bit wobbly sometimes
otherwise nice chops and setup

Memphis was recorded live without a click track so it changes tempo a few times. Makes it hard to play with.

When you play in a kit like that, people can say only 2 things:
1 - Holy shit, that guy plays a lot!
or
2 - WTF, he doesn't deserve that, no way!
I say you should practice A LOT before getting a pro kit like that one...
