Lildrmmrboy, Ben said, "it's actually a very, very tight thick head on top (Aquarian High Energy head), and looser on the bottom. I keep the snares loosey goosey too, but not too loose. The key is opening it up so the drum can actually make the noise, and not the stick on the drum. Don't be afraid to crank it up, because a lot of times, people don't tune their snares high enough to actually hear what it's supposed to sound like."
Goliath405, there were actually 7 drummers playing at once for the opening and closing of the event. Zach started, the others joined in, then they stopped one at a time until Ben was the last one left, then he went into his solo.
Personally, I really enjoyed his use of dynamics in the solo. I thought it was creative, and the audience really enjoyed it; it set a great mood for the rest of the night.
Well DreadHead, I watched LP's solo again a bit closer. I wasn't impressed at all. It was loud, it was fast, but that's all it was. Not creative, not dynamic, no use of different time signatures, not anything. I'll take Ben's solo here anytime over that solo of LP.
what drum heads does the guy playing at 3:14 have? please reply

Mr. Tubular, Ben tells me he uses Remo Pinstripes all around with the exception of his snare which is an Aquarian Hi-Energy.

I don't know how low Ben's snare is. I can find out though. Thanks for the interest!

that guys timing was a little off in some places, but it wasn't bad. It was definitely an audience oriented solo

Haha, well delliejonut, all of the solos were at least somewhat audience oriented since it was a fundraiser and all. 8 ^ )

Well I wasn't really impressed or anything by this video! It was all pretty basic stuff the guy in blue did! He has good taste in cymbals though!

Sure, I can learn some of his licks when I get back to school. Seems like he didn't do anything terribly complicated, just really fast.

dreadhead123456789 4 years ago
Well dreadhead, I searched 'pizzle drum solo' and the first one was a solo by the drummer from YellowCard. It was good. What about it though?
