This is one of the best DCA performances of all time.

Hey do you have any tips on how to do the flam passage starting at 0:54?

[hulka9396]

Use a lot of finger and rebound control. Build up your finger speed and strength. What I like to do is set the met at a nice comfy tempo and play 4 bars of 16th notes on each hand. Keep upping the tempo as you master the slower speeds. As with any chop building it helps to practice as close to everyday as you can so your endurance grows. Otherwise you'll constantly be rebuilding rather than building upon.

how much do you practice daily to do some crazy shit like this?

[hulka9396]

I haven't practiced daily for many years now but in my younger days I probably practiced on average 2 hours a day.

[2freshn2tall]

I never would have guessed that.

sounded like electric wheelchair in the beginning!

[BrimptonFopp]

At :54 sec on...well that is just the shit! I love the way it flows.I've been working on that feel for years and incorporated it in my playing, but you just demo'ed it so well.Beautifully done Scott.
