Pocket Rockout - Jamming with Myself

[ATBSFiM]

"jamming with myself" sounds pervert.

[Nitram916]

needs more cowbell

[michaeldecker22]

American drummers seem more skillful

no offense, but if thats the best you got...and it seems to be ur most recent video...

[passion4drums]

@michaeldecker22 well i mean, give him a chance.... is this guy the only non american drummer in the world? i'm american, and i'm a drummer! i've been drumming for 11 years now and i can say i can't come near to the rudiments or polyrythyms he's doing... i guarantee this isn't the best he can do.

[michaeldecker22]

American drummers seem more skillful

[diggablemanny]

for a bassist, your probably pretty fun to jam with. My drummer has the same type of feel.

[TheWhisperingCactus]

You're my new favorite youtube drummer. And one of my favorite drummers of all time. Good lawd you can groove. What, pray tell, is your mic setup for this vid? Sounds awesome and dry. Good room! And I love the coated tom heads! Such a thick sound. ALSO what cymbals are those man?? SO RICH!

[WilsonCousins]

are you the guy that does the yamaha gigmaker preveiw on the cranbourne music channel?

[LookIDrum]

dude, I think I love you.

[AppChat]

I love this so much, I am a self taught drummer who just casually jams. You should upload the guitar sound by itself or something, I would love to drum along to this! Or do you know a place I could find cool guitar without drums or vocals? By the way the drumming is AWESOME :D

[crimsonchin64]

soo basicaly your playingwith your freinds 16 inch??

am i the only one that found that a little dirty?

[morpheusdrummer]

nice drum kit!!

[daveusaz1218]

? what was that, mental masterbation LOL, shut up and play the drums and oh yea were not supposed to see you mentally wait for the beat to catch up to you LOL, dont quit your day job

[08mlascelles]

@daveusaz1218 you're a douche, pure and simple. The guy can play, no question, Maybe it's a little busy, but it's sick. I don't see you doing any better.

[daveusaz1218]

@08mlascelles I stand by what I said, so get over it, I question you timing too and I think you talk too much as well.

[08mlascelles]

@daveusaz1218 hahahaha, i think you're a retard, as there are no drumming videos of me on my youtube page, so how could you possibly know if i have poor time. You are just one of those sad acts who sits at home on youtube all day criticising other people because you have no discernible talent, just go away, no one wants to hear it!

[daveusaz1218]

@08mlascelles What, did you say something. All I did was post a truthful comment about what I saw and heard, If you can not hear what he is doing wrong ( well thats all the proof I need your timming is bad ) I did not ask you to reply, but you did and now you think your sad attempt to belittle me will make me back down from the truth I wrote about.

Think again you mental midget.

[101point5TMG]

What Brand (or Brands) of Cymbals Do you use?? they have a nice sound

[bishopboy3]

I love your style bro! :)

[Mrcarnut12]

You are really really really i mean soooooooooooooo good!!

[ppetracco]

Oops... Got it!

What about that ride of yours?

Heheheh. Cheers!

[ppetracco]

Dude, your set looks awesome! What is it?

[beastdude]

yeah that sparkle blue looks awesome. i take it you've gotten your own floor tom by now, if not a whole new set?

[johnnyonline]

actually no. still have the same kit, but only have the 14" floor tom. but i can still borrow the 16" (or even an 18") if i really needed it.

[Alaaaaaaai]

this is fantastic!

[XDXDAndreXDXD]

wow Nice beat ;D ^^

[j4zzDrumm3r]

I'm loving the groove and feel! What type of cymbals do you use?  They sound so beautiful.

[Zubav]

this is brilliant. Great drumming =D

[eyeopener1989]

i have almost the exact same drum set up as you haha =p

[ChrisTheRockGod]

this is my favourite pocket rockout!

[joedoefosho]

Dude, totally dig the little stick toss just after 2 minutes, that's pretty awesome!

[laxgoalie1231]

your drums sound godly, its not even fair. good drumming

[jesterrecords]

dang your tight, and i love the toss at like 2:10

[JumpStop1]

crisp!

[Drumdog1958]

So cool. I love it. I've stuck links to a couple of your uploads on my web page. Inspiring stuff.

[tylerchappy]

hey mate, that sounds great. Your a real laid back drummer, thats a good thing. Just a question, what ride are you using in this video? i like it!

[friday53]

thats fuckin deadly man

[jackass612]

what kind of heads do you have on your drums to make that really badass *thud* sound

[crankerny]

Johnny,

You got the beat man, you are an awsome drummer !!!!

[funkyfreshguitar]

I aspire to have your setup!

Nice job man...

[johnnyonline]

it would cost well over a thousand dollars for the extra tom. i like it.. but not that much.

[johnnyonline]

a custom made masters floor tom does

[demonknight66698]

Looks like you enjoyed rocking out, great vid!

[hueymeister]

you should really wear ear protection

[gkdrummerboy]

Do you play guitar?

[housequaker]

Hey Johnny, just found your clips. Very nice playing. Greetings from Ireland. Keep it coming.

[WOZES]

did u cover the hole where the tom mounts were? What did you use?

[johnnyonline]

a pearl bass bracket cover. just google "pearl bbc"

[GibsFrozen]

whats your heads in this video?

[johnnyonline]

evans coated G2 on the 12 and 14... remo smooth white emperor on the 16..

[johnniecor]

hi johnny boy !!! how you doing man

[WOZES]

gread sounding kit, and just smashing drummer!

[smalls2111]

i saw your newest drum vid you've made. the one where ur just using a bass drum mic and an over head mic, and i was wonderin are you using just that for this vid too. sorry for all the questions, i have been trying to find some good mics for my kit. oh ya and what kind are they. :)

[munichmunich]

lol mahogany isnt usually blue and sparkly...

[johnnyonline]

i know.. it was a special custom order i was able to make because i work at for an official pearl dealer. i wanted the vintage wood with a vintage finish.. but the MHX only came in the red gloss stain.. so i made a phone call :)

[kokolokolokmok]

nice one dude, keep it up...

[proutsos]

Very good, different sound, but myself would prefer solidstate drumming amplification, as again in my taste, drums get somehow clipped or compressed through valves, as the guitar does but that's a different sound we all love!

[johnnyonline]

that's actually pretty valid.. i made this a while ago, and i don't think i've used a lot of valve compression on my drumming since. it was an interesting experiment at the time though.

[Rammeyzor]

Where´s ur EARPLUGS!!??

[johnnyonline]

haha, somewhere in the drawer probably. if i was actually doing some serious practice i'd be wearing them.. but not for a quick youtube video.

[7noonecanehelp666]

your amazing at drums...have u ever vonsidered getting a double bass pedal? there fun im not a drummer tho but there fun lol ur ver creative with ur playing so i wonder how that would go over lol

[ChrisTheRockGod]

yeah, drums are definitely your strongest instrument, i'd say :)

[johnnyonline]

oh definitely.. it's the only instrument i play outside the house. everything else is is for youtube only.

[wazungi]

your reeeally good

[knowts]

Johnny is it..My name is Dan..No holes in your pocket..VERY nice..KUTGW

keep up the good work

[DylanStav]

dude you are really good, im a drummer myself i want to put up some videos but my recorder sucks and i need a new one. anyway kep up the good work bro

[albyco21]

oh thats a shame lol. you can borrow mine but its crap because its cb. nice video m8 kwl drumming keep it up

[albyco21]

i see youve got a new fllor tom

[johnnyonline]

it was just borrowed for that week.. it's back with its owner now :(

[30drummer]

phat kit man

[itubeutude]

very talented johnny.

[smalls2111]

what kind of high hat do u use, it sounds awesome

[johnnyonline]

14" Zildjian New Beats.. LOVE 'EM!

[dwjames]

What's that little tamborine-like object hanging on the hahit stand called???? how do you like it??

[hughman174]

it's a hat trick. i have one and it's awesome; great effects when using the ride and stomping the hats

[mjs4691]

that flip at 2:13 was pretty sick

awesome video as usual

[Spidey2391]

this was when it was good noting but great drum videos now its just shit! he never does drum videos anymore i might unsubscribe!

[johnnyonline]

sorry man. i just make music. drums, guitar, singing, whatever.. i'll still be making videos with me drumming.. after all i'm a drummer! in fact i'm editing one right now. but there's gonna be a lot more music of all shapes and colours on my channel. sorry if that's not your cup of tea. but remember why we drum? to play along with other musicians and help them keep time.. the more music. if all we listen to is drums, we don't make for very good drummers.. lol

[BlackRabbit117]

What I really dig is that you were able to play the guitar along with your drumming. Usually its the other way around it seems.

Rabbit

[StAnCeClAuSe]

bloody brilliant mate

[maddmaddworld]

Outstanding!

[whatever8390]

that's awesome o_O

[Itamae]

Why aren't there more drummers like you around here? Blah. Middle-of-nowhere, PA has a shortage of drummers who can actually play and have good taste. Bass by one's self is nowhere near as fun as a good jam session.

[danielonline12]

lovin the 16 inch

[BaronFowling]

That's what she said.

[vantango2]

really... hav you heard the one about the eskimo driving in scotland... anyway, great cymbalism, i want that sound.

[strapkoo]

wow...i love the sound of the snare drum...what drumhead do you use?

[johnnyonline]

it's an evans coated power center : )

[trike19]

ha! "he lent me his 16inch, i get to play with it for a little bit..."

sorry

[johnnyonline]

oh.. haha.. that's cool, i like a dirty joke as much as the next guy

[romanosmelodos]

You're an idiot

[SomethinBetter]

Nice dude

[CJG90]

sick! what kind of cymbals are those? they sound great.

[johnnyonline]

They're old zildjian A's. not A Customs. just regulat A's a 17" thin crash. 2 x medium thin 18"s. medium ride, and new beat hats.

[rocko132]

how long have you been playing drums?

[johnnyonline]

17 long years.. : )

[rocko132]

jeez.

that's a long time.

[P7BDX]

corrections lol- maybe and buy

[P7BDX]

your ace i wouldnt mind to see your mate, amybe you too playing something together, would be cool. small kit vs big kit. but i like how you use all of the kit, some people but a big kit and only use half of what your using. did i say your ace?...YEAH!

[someguyproduction]

play a new beat

[johnnyonline]

i did. lot's of em.. check my latest video

[mrtelechi]

You are just awazing on those skins!! A joy to watch, thanks.

[panhead55]

hey, this guy is cool. nice groove man:)

[emogoodreau]

10 years huh...funny how time flies, you really gotta utilize it huh?

[lisamaxwelll]

Very cool indeedy... nice work!

[aluk5]

wow...one of the best snare drum i've heard in youtube.dun really like the hi hat though, too busy...but nice playing dude

[timetravelfx]

great playing John. I watch this video all the time. your ideas are inspiring, and the drums sound great as usual.

[drumr4life]

Nice Job . . like you I get lost and taken away with Funk . . best stuff to loosen up to!! I have a Pearl Masters Kit as well . . nothing beats it! They are simply awsome!!

[DaleRobinson1983]

Dude you're a freakin' bad-ass, I'm impressed.

[dtegg91]

Loving the sound of your toms

[speedalbert70]

Tío, eres un crak! All the best from Laviana (Spain)

[rick913]

Nice playing... Are you just using a condenser mic? mic specs please :)

[askdarth]

Nice one.

[ccrweezerccr]

What's the song your jamming too?

[johnnyonline]

it's just some random guitar i overdubbed when i was listening back.

[sgtjimmy2006]

nice rythem

!!

[ginonix]

really like your playing, some of that linear cowbell stuff was great.

[BATCH420]

i wanna jam!!!

[SabianAxis]

Sweet playing man, great groove and a nice set! I enjoy your playing!

[ccrweezerccr]

Hey! What's that snare it sounds great!

[johnnyonline]

it's a pearl sensitone brass shell, 5x14 with black nickel coating, mastercast hoops and vintage tube lugs.. i love my snare!

[nebulae87]

nice funky beat man....keep em' coming.

[tangoman0]

you put a masking plate on the bass...does it really make a difference?

[johnnyonline]

only to how it looks. i wanted my 1st tom on a stand, cause i like the look. so i cleaned up the look of my kick with the covering plate. pretty sure it sounds just the same.

[Gunsandsunflowers]

Wheres The "Hi Mom" Ha Ha

Today Our Drumline Teacher asked me whats your favorite drummer i said that one man from the rocket pockout, And He actually knew who you were... Just thought i'd say that...

[johnnyonline]

wow, are you serious? that's awesome and weird and awesome.. this youtube thing is pretty cool eh? i was actually in a drumline years ago. snare captain for the sydney olympic band, 2000 members, 200 in the drumline, 40 snares... oooh, those were the days... that was a massive gig.

[N3maN]

wow... who is this? You played in the sydney olympic drumline... which then became the AYB Southern Stars? With cats like Matt Rowbottom and Tom Sheen? Dont tell me yess!

[johnnyonline]

i sure did... john lewis.. i was snare captain of the olympic band drumline in 2000... and yesm, matt and tom were/are buddies of mine... who's this?

[N3maN]

i am a current member of the drumline. been playing there for a little over a year now. We'll probs be hitting Bejing 2008 :D ... tom is now lead snare, and matt still hangs around like a bad smell ;) LOL... nah, he is Vice President of the AYB, and has just recently abdicated from playing in the line (like, 3 months ago), because there were so many young members wanting to join.

Cont...

[N3maN]

cont...

It seems everyone in the line end up doing somthing with music!... hope that happens for me too :D

Cam

P.S... rad drumming mate, such great groove/feel

[vedabeta52]

Very cool groove!!!!
