Great wee bass lines too. ;)

Keep the funk smelly dudes ;)

[TheSmar09]

you sound like an awesome funk drummer and the bass and guitar are playing reallly well!

[TheElysses]

Nice jam

[tHickman95]

@kalalabob9 Something big for funk, played with nylon tips for clarity.

But, having said that, if you are 'advanced', it shouldn't matter what cymbal you use.

[Bluedrums702]

i really dig the jam, is that a cover or did you guys write that?

[Psythe]

@Bluedrums702 it's not a cover, just a jam we wrote on the day

[OxO29A]

[harpapmac]

Hi from Greece... very nice man keep drumming :)

[abbeyroaddrummer]

Does any1 notice that from :50 - 1:50 it sounds almost exactally like Daft Punks Harder Better Faster Stronger, like the guitar riff?

[100010101000101]

@abbeyroaddrummer Haha, so true, Daft Funk if you will.

[chucktheduck64]

Hey, this is really good.

[mex1cution]

The key to funk drumming is keeping that roll going, unless there is a pause of course.

[BobDole3005]

get a better bassist and this is fucking badass

[jonnyhendrixson]

like it

[readme60]

What drum head are you using on your snare?

[Psythe]

@readme60 I think it was an aquarian but i can't remember what now, it came with the snare but i think it was single ply

[readme60]

@Psythe Was it an Aquarian Texture Coated snare head?

[Psythe]

@readme60 yeah quite possibly mate

[hultizen]

@Psythe it is a aquarian i can see it on the little aquarian mark on the head

[katmetal14]

great music !!

[bspring11]

[Enot312]

[s0lveetc0agula]

[Psythe]

@s0lveetc0agula 13" K/Z hats, 16" A Custom Crash, 17" Zildjian Dark Crash, 20" K Custom Session Ride, 17" Constantin Crash, 9" Oriental Splash for this vid

[202drummerboy]

hey ! can you tell me where you get music like you are covering ? :) thank you !!

[Psythe]

@202drummerboy hi mate, this isn't a cover i'm afraid, just a jam we came up with. thanks for listening though

[Psythe]

@kalalabob9 i'd say something nice and dry, i like my k custom dry ride for that but the ride i'm using in this video was a k custom session ride which kinda works too.

[Psythe]

@kalalabob9 honda civic

[Psythe]

Thanks for all the lovely comments!

[charliepicasso]

dude this is fucking amazing.

my mind has totally been blown

[Chops69666]

[Psythe]

@Chops69666 10, 14, 16. Thanks for watching!

[metlgandalf]

i would say, u can play this wile sleeping

sonds realy cool

goon like this :)

[kempflar]

Bravo! You are great. Hope to hear more from you!

[lilksavage]

youve got skills

[ryanvids1]

What snare is that?

[DJSkeemsProductions]

This is awesome dude

[brstkl92]

Great drumming...

What is the name of this song?

or Where can i find it?

[Psythe]

@brstkl92 Thanks, I don't have any recording other than this, it was just an improvised jam. There is a link to download this version in mp3 but apart from that there's nothing else I'm afraid. Thanks for listening though

[Thejudgeofyourvid]

Nice ghost notes man. Very relaxed awesome!

[stillmatic1013]

Great audio quality. Any mics?

[Psythe]

@stillmatic1013 Cheers, there was only the mic on the video camera used for this recording

[Attabitle]

Really smooth drumming, excellent accent/ghost note control. Way to show that drumming can be techy and sound great without overpowering the other instruments. Take that, modern mainstream!

[moziekook]

*skins

[moziekook]

sick man, may I ask, what series zildgian hi hats do you use, and what snare akina(front and bottom)do you use, they sound so peng and so do u man, sickkkk drumming!

[Psythe]

@moziekook Thanks man! The hi hats are 13" K/Z hats (with the Z on top) and the snare skins are the Aquarians that came with the snare I think. Was a long time ago. It's got a CS dot on top and ambassador snare side on bottom now which sounds quite good. That snare sounds best with a bit of extra punch but the thinner Aquarians worked well too

[MIssUnsinn]

great job!

are you sitting a little high ?-anyway-great!

[RikJamezBich]

Nice

[ILikeBlastBeats]

that was very fun

[JonnyBoyPugh]

Guitarists suck.

[vVitox]

Very cool mate ;) I play at grade 8 drums but i suck at reading music ect.. in the not too distant future ill be posting some video's on youtube of me drumming so i would appreciate your support and any advice on that :) Very good drumming btw mate, liking the Techniqal side and some of the fills in there and the expression.

[vVitox]

Very nice mate :) I play at grade 8 drums but i cant do the techniqal stuff.. shame rly.. Im taking grades 4 - 6 - 8 so i can learn all that stuff. Funk is the real style of drumming and i like your style you put in a few really good fills there in the not too distant future i will be posting some drumming video's on youtube and ill send u a link when i do so u can give me your support and help if thats okay with you man.

[Fisherman12100]

Very tight.

[logo908]

@boltypie213 I think its called a flan, not sure though =)

[MrAxSAP]

Why do most funkdrummers use matched grip?

[BryanNhisLP]

beast fill at 3:50 O_O. dude your good. :P

[TUBEORATER]

Get some badass singers and a horn section and you might take off!

Reminds me of Joe Cocker with Leon Russell on keys.

[vincent10kd]

the rest of your band could use a bit of your impeccable sense of rhythm

[spoofmasters1]

how can 14 people not like this? its really good.

[Psythe]

@boltypie213 oh it wont let me post a link, stupid youtube, i've put it in the video description instead

[Psythe]

@boltypie213 hi, thought you might appreciate the groove written out. This is the main groove for the beginning but there are slight variations

Thanks for watching!

[Mooser1512]

i liked the part where he was drumming. =D

[zinnful]

im impresed. very tight. props to you man. and do i spy a k custom dark in the bottom right corner of the screen?

[Psythe]

@zinnful yep thats a 17" K Custom Dark Crash. Thanks for watching

[zinnful]

@Psythe damn nice taste. ive got a 17" a and hopefully grabbing a 17 k dark this summer. again, fantastic playing.

[Bleedinggravitypro]

@Psythe i've got that same cymbal. Very good drumming by the way!

[NanDrummer]

great job , really enjoyed it. Kit sounds like a million bucks

[NanDrummer]

[bakedlays5447]

[gomezthemexicanhobo]

[Kaminari3]

[Cuzjudd]

Funkeriffic :) Enjoyed a lot of your fills. And the ever bouncing snare hand is very much like mine. Always rolling along.

[benvarnam]

[Psythe]

[ARFF2690]

damn dude your left hand is a boss

[masicklazik]

@ARFF2690 the snare left hand, thats easy? i dont know why its a boss... that's supposed to be normal for all drummers no? it is for me! :D

[ARFF2690]

@masicklazik i'm talking about the control and skill of your left hand, not the fact that your hitting your snare drum with it.

[muckypops]

dude grow up

[froidalo]

harder better faster stronger

[isotripping007]

Good job dude!,...5 stars,...pLEASE also do watch my drum vid,.. its entitled funk random drumming,.please do leave any comments please,..thanks,to improve my playing,thanks guys,....

[pprysb]

to improve your playing.....practice...lots of it.

[Psythe]

I'd say its always more impressive to play something simple really well than to play things on the edge of your ability badly. Having said that I think you've got some good ideas but would benefit from work on your time keeping. Thanks for watching!

[omri5381]

wow dude how much time did you playing drums?

[Psythe]

About 11 years or so at the time of this recording, its quite old now

[knochi23]

wow that beats are hot :D

5/5

[chrislikesmenify]

[davss5]

[beastmaster2r]

Nice drummin man!

[kogamja]

[fish231uk]

This isn't as good as Reg Marshall.

[Psythe]

i live in his shadow

[Prankxter]

You're doing great, in my opinion you're using too much cymbal, you might want to not stress every second phrase with a cymbal it seems too repetitive after a while

[Psythe]

Yeah I know what you mean, I don't think I'd play it like this if i did it now. Thanks to everyone for watching

[Mikeelshamy]

Wow man I am impressed that you didnt over play! I would have crushed the hell out of this song. Great Job!

[d15er]

thats the way its done

[8mathdaddy]
