Single-Stroke Roll Drum Lesson with Jonathan Davis

[mikeblblbl]

ye



[ddrums001]

Either J. D. Is that Blazin' or those are trick cameras on him. I don't think those are trick cameras!

[gabeaze]

I get absolutely no kick from it

[bloodsling]

love to see this guy behind the SS Bozzio

[B3ASTM0DE92]

he could win any drumoff playing this

[FrenchRockNRolla7]

Oh man!!! Yes, you are an incredible drummer and I love the way you sound! However this is NOT a drum lesson... :(

[mellowmood89]

cool but wheres the lesson on how to do that??

[HidoriTsunadre]

I actually just tested myself, though it makes me take deep breaths, as long I memorize the pattern I'm just as fast as he is.

[h6ss4]

14 r Lars Ülrich in different accounts.

[ricaleblissett2]

does your foot/kick do anything?

[MickeyLWalker]

wow this is awesome

[Lampdawg]

Man, can you play Jazz? 3:39 reminds me of something Max Roach would play. The single remind me Of Billy Cobham. I can tell you played quads in the marching band? Awesome work!

[MrSkydrummer]

Nice! Love the singles

[Darkwing74]

6:58 : He thinks "Maybe that was not good enough. : ( "

This guy rocks. Blessings.

[BastiX10i]

just one word: awesome!!!

[portnoyere]

every drummer who wears suit when playing has fastest hands and can play single-double-triple strokes better than any other drummers... holy crap :) :) :)

[TENCUHTLI]

Matte, that's awesome!!! Do you still living in Miami fl? If that the case, I beg you, please be my teacher!

[toranuguitars]

wow

[ColossalT92]

dude how long did it take u to get that fast?! lol

[raiders1815]

this is a horrible tutorial seeing as how it doesn't do anything besides teach us what JD can do that we all can't, but nonetheless JD is a beast lol

[InfliktionDrums]

i would love to learn a thing or two off u. im gonna guess u had a great teacher, cause im self taught and im a BEAST but in comparison to u, im dirt.

awesome video JD

[VedaMoretti]

That was amazingly cool. I really dig your taste in cymbals, and cool single stroke rolls, but yeah, you got choppppps.

[rhythmmynd]

:)

[drummerfranky]

most epic deffenately 1:55 till 2:46

[IronreaverVII]

That's some impressive stuff. Especially the bit starting at 3:39.

[jamiecollis101]

i boww down to u my freind xD

[generatrix999]

He thinking "God Damn it" to himself when he pulls the calms

[egriggs]

So if I can do single stroke rolls well I can do that whole solo? lol

[foca550]

toca muito hem eu queria tocar assim kkkk

[derbaggers]

How is this a drum lesson? The only thing I've learned from this video is that JD can play fucking fast single strokes and I can't.

[bluephi182k]

@derbaggers Maybe it's not a lesson, but a demonstration. Maybe he is showing his technique and not really teaching. Maybe, just maybe this is called a demonstration and maybe he says demonstration and " I'm going to show you"

[Hetlund72]

@derbaggers it dosent says lesson dude... but Demonstration please read before complaining ;O)

[ImaFez]

@derbaggers he said that hes going to demonstrate how he uses singles. he didnt say he was going to explain how to play singles like that.

[Choy178]

@derbaggers dude title says DEMONSTRATION

[derbaggers]

@Choy178 no it doesn't ;)

[MrGziss]

@derbaggers dont hit the end floor tom an even number like 2 or 4...

odds like 1, 3, or 5 etc is ok...that part is "lesson" like..=)

[MrOtisotis]

@derbaggers its pretty simple hes just showing you a dope exercise for getting arround the kit then he shreds the fuck out of it. whats he gone do break it down? its rlrlrlrlrl

[ddrums001]

Uh...I would give JD his props, but I can't seem to close my jaw....!

[mannyboy28]

WHERE IS THE VIDEO WHERE THAT ROLL FROM :18 takes place? That looks like it has maddd energyy

[mrTooKanSam]

He shreds the kit like quints, you can tell by his technique.

[ZakTaylor23]

the greatest speed i have ever seen!

[nadir6661]

wow! greate rolls man!is there a band that we can hear u perform?

[gustavocampostv]

[JoeJacari]

It's like. "Hey, are you going to LA and the Percussion Institute of Technology to study to be a drummer?"

No. I'm going to the First Baptist Church on 4th Ave. in Cumberland North Carolina to study with the choir drummer. He's one of the best in the world.

[MarkVictor5]

This dude just killed it!

[drumsandivory]

HOLY SHIT

[ram33l]

y is he soooo amazing! I wish my singles cud b half as good as his

[Danielcrspo]

Odd Time signatures galore.

[jonathandavisdrums]

one of my first youtube videos ever!

[silvioreggi]

this is a man who really KNOWS how to play singles. Gospel drummers are really one of a kind. Great drumming

[colourfulwithaU]

This guy's definitely got some chops.

[Journey432]

This guy has great hands (not to knock him at all) but in my book if your feet are not as good then your not a complete drummer. For all I know this guy has great feet as well so I am not knocking this cat AT ALL. I just feel a drummer is not a beast is he can't play the same stuff with his feet as his hands. He is a beast if he can do that and do a single & double stroke roll with his feet over 250 BPM. Then, In my book he is a Complete Beast (who knows maybe he can).

A+ for hands

[Journey432]

@Journey432 That's playing 16ths with your feet at 250 BPM.

[stevendixon1985]

dude, those doubles he's playing with a single are insane! Who is this guy?

[macschomo]

Also your feets are great. Wow.

[Ilias25]

oh my god! Awsome :] !

[jayco4]

left foot cow bell.

[baterathy]

OMFG...this guy is a robot...nice rithym...nice speed...lol

[ihatecarebears1]

no way

[bomberbadj]

Wow... How sick I am of hearing about Joey Jordison and Travis Barker...

[tony13fg]

@bomberbadj i agree with you..

[wardrumma]

i wonder if he played the quads in marching band, very fluent and ACCURATE

[ouchinmypants]

my fuckinggggggg god, its like travis barker meets tony royster junior on chill out pills

[MrOtisotis]

@ouchinmypants LOL chill out pills

[myzticalls]

grande!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[upbeatmantis86]

Great technique there, nice speed too.. its really hard to do it reverse right to left especially on those speed.. I dont know how u do it without hitting d rims/ clashind ur sticks.. =D

btw, I feel the cameraman should shoot facing down onto the drumset rather than across, for better view of what u hit..

keep drumming !!

[traxxdrummer]

A-MA-ZING !

I really like your fluentness :)

[ANDRExDEY]

demonstration? jesus man, if that was a demo I must be doing fools play

[DrumAddict324]

when you play drums like that ..you can talk as slow as you damn well pleeeeease. go Johnathan.....go.. buddy rich of gospel n' groove... ammaaaazing!

[liennto]

goodness gracious.

[jimfarey]

Absolutely astounding! Amazing :)

[bartolo333]

Is it me or whenever I finish practicing at home I feel like I'm the best around....that is until I see videos like these. So informational yet humbling. Thanks for posting man. It's motivating and inspiring for me.

[eatrocksah]

[krupboom]

Mate, that was just awesome. I am humbled

[DehlingerYamaha]

Get U Some !!!! Good Lord !!! Absolutly killin', great job ! God Bless :)

[hugeozzyfan1]

the only word i have to say is damn

[fendergasm11]
