[NadsMeister4]

U rok, man!

Respect.

[The94bloc]

This sounds pretty good, you have a good feel of the music. But on the real you need to loosen up that high hat a little. Its a little stiff bro, this song is swing when your closing the high hat its making an off beat that is outside of the groove for the song. Just a suggestion, no offense intended.

[RacingAlien]

Si irie!!

[MrWillisdrummin]

Nice roots FEEL!!!



[RoOtNaTIoN96753]

it looks like its fast forwarding...good vibez though....love it!

[daryl00718]

@010977ful para practicar 28 horas al dia, hay q ser un monstro....y eso será en otro planeta, pq en este solamente tiene 24 horas...jajjaaj....le recomiendo q siga practicando...

[MrMetrodrums]

You need to relax son, You too little bit stiff let the wrist work not the hold Body. Apart fr that you have a nice sound. Like the Hi Hat sound.

[boingboomchak]

hey you r good ,really nice groove but I agree with others ,try to loosen up your arm, I can almost see that vein pop out of your neck dude, otherwise great.

[pipedude23]

Great playing bro! I strongly recommend loosing up... Relax bro! You really don't want arthritis to stop you from playing :)

[wowrazzor]

Not bad, you have to loosen up a bit though :/ use some more fingers in your right hand, as well.

[biggaheath]

yow james you sound good, but why u look so stiff yow

[peatohomie916]

[dsertrtreggae]

Ras Dre!

[nachitomg]

ven este sabe lo que es el reggae aprendan bateristas horribles que en cima se dan el lujo de "enseñar" pobres bobos no saben nada

[lkwansiv]

Let the man look how the fuck he wants to!!! U fuckers kill me with the negativity..its not constructive at all...im sure he posted the vid so he could show the world what he does...it doesnt matter how he looks you dumb low-life degenerate fucks! This shit is awesome...i didnt even pay attention to how he looks..ANd to the asshole who said he needs to loosen up...fuck off..play how u play and he'll play his way! pe@ce

[JonnyRattatat]

@lkwansiv i didn't read any of the previous comments hating on him but he does need to losen up a bit or he'll have problems in his playing down the road. he's really tense, not good for your muscles/tendons to be that tense when u play.

[Drummerkking]

@lkwansiv tru ting ya tell... rass.. ah so dem stay.. bless up my yout pon di drums.. sell off...

[Alonso4684]

@lkwansiv i was not the one who said he had to loosen up, and i agree with you, i am completely tired of people putting negative comments. Also i do agree that people play how the fuck they want to play, but the truth is loosing up a little wont hurt HIM or HIS drumming style, it might even help him, and he'll look much more confident, thats for sure.

[stevo706]

do you have Turets?

[dt5741]

good shit

[Riknojutsu]

I like the fills, but your chops...ehh

[kidfrase]

bro...im really confused...what are you doing..you look very uncomfortable..like something is stuck up your butt...you..need to be comfortable dont tighten up..use your wrist..

[Nw06051]

[tdlwn]

[DHMikeDH]

[cookseyad]

[jaymitch95]

[intotubintoo]

[CertifiedValor]

[mastodonthe]

Like life... reggae music seems so hard to play!!!

[Riknojutsu]

@mastodonthe Not really, but good guess.

[essjkid05]

like what bruce lee said "be water my friend". theres no such thing as proper technique bcuz not everybody is built the same. so keep what your doing and dont listen to these guys trying to tell you what to do. whatever technique that works for you the best and feel most comfortable with thats your own technique "be water". good job

[gddrummer13]

I'll agree with every one here, the reggae feeling is great, you've really got it

but u really need to loosen up man!

It looks like your streuggling with the hit hat rhythms at time and it can slow you down. but man, apart from that, great stuff!

keep it up

[GanjaDrumma]

irie

[essjkid05]

goodshit bro

[FranklinParkGoon]

yo u need to loosen up,......u tryin to hard....u drum AWSOME but ur arm and wrist technique sucks. u look like u bout to have a seizure. loosen up on ur wrist. use ur wrist and not ur arm and wrist. u do that and u g'd. UR WELCOME

[coolmanfx]

c'est cool...mais on dirai que tu decouvre le reggae...au jazz tu est a l'aise....

[Viruz95]
