I wish guys would get out of the music room and put a band together and MAKE some music. Drumming is an artform making music, not a sport or competition. You can practice in a room for the rest of your life, but gigging with other musicians in public is the real test. I've played professionally for over 40 years, sorry guys you are not trying hard enough.
Actually, in the last 4 years I've been gigging with 2 big bands, 2 blues bands, a dixieland band, a jazz trio and a folk trio. But even with these, the gigs are hard to come by. It's a tough market around here, but I've been at it for 26 years. I also teach drum and bugle corps on the weekends.
Hey, I really like that one-handed roll left hand variation thing you do that you just posted. It's different from the rest and you do it really well.
You're right. The overtones on the crash kept peaking or "soaring" and it came out a little blurred. But it was nothing I had planned out, I was just riffing and found myself doing what you see there. When I looked at the playback it still struck me as coming across semi-decent regardless of the overtones, so I had it posted anyway, what the heck. Thanks for the compliment!
Thats passion my friend..Keep it up !!

Actually, Billy plays with several local big bands. This was just an opportunity to express some ideas on the drums.

Absolutely spot on. Drumming is not an Olyimpic sport. It's all about making music, like Keith Carlock for example.

i think you could've found a better crash/ride to work with but apart from that, you were superb. Well done sir!

Maybe it's just because I'm new to traditional grip, but I think it's cool how comfortable Bill Peterson looks using it.
