Dave Mackintosh is one of the best living drummers in the world. Those who say "bah, he plays with gloves :|", you are just fools, gloves cuts circulation and makes it hard to play, needs practice to play with gloves and a lot to play for that long. besides, SEE him, he sings all the song while playing, he owns!!!
yeah, same with people bitching about triggers. and singing is hard as fuck while playing instruments. drumming + singing is godmode. like playing guitar and singing is godmode. so, in short, i agree with you lol
@rpga00 omg there is no BEST drummer....plus this guy is extremely bland, and has absolutely no originality, nor even the slightest bit of creativity....TRUE drummers are; matt halpern, morgan agren, mark guiliana, glen sobel, anup sastry, tomas haake, chad wackerman, chris brien, terry bozzio, thomas pridgen, glenn kotche, zach hill, jojo mayer, johnny rabb, benny greb, derek roddy, mike mangini, and chander sardjoe....all those drummers are equal, yet in their own way better than each other!
@coasternut3091 he has amazing song structure, and every now and then he will put in a truly complex lick....but other than that it's mainly his style and fast fills that make him so famous.....but i still love him, and that's why i say that when musicians reach a certain level of skill they all have certain traits which make them better than the others, but every true drummer has their own voice!
@xxxslayerxxx666 More famouses? pfff... what important people say he's the best? where? who? ... he's perfect for the band and is a great drumer...btw, not because they are famous means they are good.
@K1lleR133 you seem to be missing some logic.....go and read my comments from the beginning, rather than replying to the last one as you did....then you will realize that you are looking like a fool right now....and of course go learn grammar you look like an idiot!
@xxxslayerxxx666 something more to say? or just say fool, learn grammar, etc. I know how to write and read perfectly and i speak spanish pefectly. if you limit yourself to understand what I meant, your not talking about grammar in a video of drummers, sorry, keep talking bla bla bla defending the indefensible.
have a nice day!
in spanish: no hables de gramatica en un video de bateristas, deja bastante que desear comentarios asi, de gramatica, de idiotas y demas descalificativos.
damn there is so many asshole's that can't appreciate shit these day's!!!! I mean look at those fag's down there on the comment chart!!! youngbuck42 and telockoftime hating on shit that is hard to comprehend even if you are an experienced drummer!!! just little hating asshole's.. and p.s. glove's help keep your hand's from getting fucked up if your hard hitting drummer.. that shit sting's when your hit a rim shot sometimes.
hahahahhahahahahhhhahhhahha this dude is wearing gloves.. what a pussy..seriously if you think this is an amazing solo please do some research.. im not saying Im a better drummer or could play all of this.. in fact I think his endurance is insane I couldnt play that fast for that long.. but thats about it.. precision is everything... just saying
@PaddleMaster47 btw he only goes fast doing the same beat over and again. and he has practicly no beat. so fuck off i like the REV alot more cause he knows wtf hes doing. and Dragon forces music is sped up
@supermetalerito Just because they're playing style doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean that they suck. This band sounds pretty together to me and the drummer more or less is pretty damn consistent. Also I'm not really that big into this kind of music but if you're one of these kids who says "They suck" and "Through the Fire and Flames sucks live Herman screw's the solo up derpppp" Just remember chances are he can play it better then you, now begone troll.
Later, during the slowed down solo. About 4:27 is when he uses heel-up for the 16ths. I'm guessing because it's a slower pace and it's easier, considering as many songs he has to play for a show at 200bpm...yeah.
@metalliman27 In this video, yes, Dave IS using heel-toe. You can tell from the beginning, where the blastbeat begins. His legs are only moving half tempo. Let me break it down for you.
Heel-up = rlrlrlrl
Heel-toe = r-l-r-l-
He's moving his feet to eighth notes. Therefor, by default, he's using heel-toe technique. =]
@metalliman27 You don't need longboards to do heel-toe. Before I sold my set, I myself had Iron Cobra Rolling Glides. The same exact pedal. I could do it. You also have to realize that Dave is like 4"5' lol..
@jizahl From the interview I heard post-ZP, talking about Marc, they tuned down for ZP's voice live. Understandable, singing DF songs one after another kills most men's voices!
every video of dave alone is him playing
