There's another video on my channel of my setting up my kit in timelapse. That's when I set the drums up outside to get great light and then I recorded this song.
1:19 -> does portnoy do that too in the song with the charleston (i mean with the feet?) is it something you added or he does it? IF it's like that i'm ashamed i never realized it...
I'm not really sure I understand what you mean. If you're talking about my left foot on the hi-hat, I don't think MP does that. He typically doesn't "mark time" consistently with his left foot on the hi-hat. The right foot kick part is very close to what he plays.
Yes, that off-beat 8ths thing with the hi hat... i thought he used a crash instaed of that, am i wrong? Just for curiosity you know, sometimes is difficult to really know what you're hearing
Thanks man! But, I would have Sabians if I wanted them. It would be my second choice if I had the option but I love my Paistes. I can get anything at a reasonable price these days. With the Internet and sites like eBay, sky's the limit.
Dude, your songs are very perfect, congratulations! I have some suggestions of songs from Angra: Nova Era, Angels and Demons, Spread your Fire... and others but i like these
I don't see why anyone would call the police on this O_o I mean, this is great playing and people should support it -_- Damn you where as awesome back then as you are today. kudos man!
Hey, ....I have to say it ....U'VE GOT SOME BALLS DUDE !!!!! I would never try to pull that off, btw...I though that song was an easy one, but I've been proved wrong, now that I listen it carefully, the song feels interesting to play. And u played it with the right feel (sometimes that the hardest thing, to feel the song). WELL DONE MATE, I had a blast watching u, feel free to post back. The best of wishes and good luck, ur pal from Peru.
Thank you very much! You've got great taste in drummers with Angra. Aquiles Priester is one hell of a drummer. I really need to get some of their stuff. What do you suggest?
I love the internet, everyone's an expert and a critic. Thanks for the advice, but I really don't think it's going to change 26 years of a "bad habit."
I know what you mean. The longer you do it, the harder it is to do anything about it. Also, the less effort you want to spend changing it. I say if you aren't getting hurt and you can play just as well; screw it!
Really good, an impeccable cover. I'm not too crazy about DT's latest work though. You have a really great sounding kit, and you use it up as much as you can, while keeping time and relating your drumming to the other instruments in the song. Shame you have to look out for cops, there should be more people doing what you do. 5 stars!
This is the only song I felt safe enough doing while I had the kit set up in the driveway and be done before the cops arrived. They actually did drive by afterwards!!!!!, Is that supposed to be funny, because im laughing my ass off.
Nice kit man :) I could imagine you get up to some realy creative original stuff with that nice range of cymbals. Great vid to. Good work DT for the win.
Thank you very much! Dude, check out my channel page. I have two versions of Erotomania! In fact, the first one I did 7 months ago is my most watched video.
ScotMacrae obviously going to sound like that because of the recording method and an untreated room..lol Its less the sound quality and more the video of him playing a great song and doing a great job.
Great video man! Think about starting a band? I think you'd do great. I already suggested a song on your Panic Attack cover, but the suggestion stands.
haha great work again dude, suprised me you were outside , but still you played awsome as eva , keep em coming!! what songs are u currently working on man?
It's more of a general style thing. Don't get me wrong, DT are awesome. I just hate U2, especially Bono. I know a lot of people who think it sounds like U2 as well.
actually when im doing my cover of this this weekend im going to add a big fill right before the last chorus

littledrumaboy556 7 months ago

littledrumaboy556 7 months ago
@littledrumaboy556 Yes, I know that. I just always liked playing it on a crash and switching to the ride for the chorus.

why do you wear ear protection??
0morten0 2 years ago
It's not protection. Those are my Bose Triports. But it is wise to wear ear protection while playing. Once you lose hearing, it doesn't come back.
gspot27 2 years ago
You should anyway. I use earbuds for listening to the track and industrial ear protection over it. It works quite well for drumming.

No, it is a crash. Seen it live and just know by the sound on the cd. There are videos of Drumavarium here on Youtube and he clearly plays a crash.
I do, however, choose to play on the ride during the chorus and it should be a crash.
