thomas pridgen demonstration

[TenorSaxx]

Just by looking at this video thomas would be one of those students of music where he has a hard time explaining what he is doing but rather he can teach by showing

[epiphysis]

his sets sounds gr8. he sounds gr8. I havent been a fan of his drumming til now.

[ultimatefighter187]

i love this mother fucker!!!!

[idrumalot555]

this man is not afraid to make mikstakes in a crowd full off drummers....he has my respect for that. He's real, and damn he's talented one of my fave. vids.

[jobencore]

excellent video. loved hearing what he had to say.

[markb92]

are those hats 16"?

[ProtestTheHero12345]

18"

[skakid2360]

I just wanna see him, Chris Tsagakis from RX Bandits, and Zach Hill jam....my head would fucking explode.

[crg12]

what evans skins does he use?

[thetomtom03]

evans ec2 clear on the toms

[blackl1steddrums]

blah

[Nateytracks]

I told him he was amazing...he told me I have cool hair. I laughed my ass off.

[letshakehands]

his single foot double pedal technique is sick. I have totally got to learn that.

[cinnabin]

dude who said watching him makes you want to go jam, you are NOT lying

[dmcoheed18]

i luv you lol

[oralsurgery84]

how the fuck does he do that magic he does.....

and fuck all those who are jealous of his magical percussion

Thomas Pridgen is the now god of drumming

[sk8rj514]

im going to play my drums now! just watching him play makes me wanna jam for 2 hours straight! im playing my ass off to try and play like this guy. if you try youll advance so much in drumming serious!!!

[DysphoricExemption]

awesome your enthusiastic about new techniques, but pridgen...you need patience boy

[sk8rj514]

i know i do. but itll be time well spent though. once i heard his parts on bedlam i knew i wanted to play like that because i get bored too and tend to carry a more busyer type of playing just to keep me paying attention.

[WestonWalterKennedy]

I only play guitar but this guy makes me really want to play drums

[FARGLEFUCKSHITPENIS]

Same here I saw the Mars Volta live and now I am thinking about buying a drum set.

[gatewaydrummer64]

hahaha i love how he talks and his attitude, so laid back and just goes with the flow...

[dcairol]

2:16 :S :S Casi se le cae!!! his drumstick almost falls

[mikeportnoyfan]

omg his feet are soo fucking fast, i could match the speed he was playing before he went fast, but damn

[wicked57yx]

verbaly articulate or not. hes right.. its supposed to be fun. and that makes me only want to play more.

[elguapo91]

You know, he can play like nobody else, but I wish he could verbally articulate some of the concepts and techniques he uses a little more precisely. I can follow the message he's trying to get across when he plays things and demonstrates them, but I still feel like his clinic is probably lacking a little bit based on the fact that he can't explain things specifically.

He's still great though and I love his style!

[xxxxrhodesxxxx]

wacth him play then ull understand thats wat his trying to say im tha same way when i do clinics i really cant explain wat i do i just say wacth me examine....sorry for my spellin

[sh4p31y]

so much of what he does is about natural feel, and his main message (through his speaking and playing) is about having your own drumming personality.. with the short time that he has, simple concepts are good.. for specific techniques, that's what lessons and full length dvds are for.

[Drumzzz22]

MACHINE!

[ioeopep]

Great stuff!

Thanks for uploading!

[warrenh]

his comment at the end about sharing is so poignant.

[bea5ToloG]

this guy is awesome. i think he is my favorite just by listening to him

[FireOnTheSurface]

He's so high in this video.

[UchihaDark38]

no drummer can play drums that tight when they do drugs thats impossible because he isnt off-beat once drugs will influence the type of playing ect bla bla

[moto1049]

he can and does. check out his myspace.

[Lewilt]

nice kit.

[1000445555555]

is he wearing ear plugs

[samquickdry]

he says dynamics is usually overlooked by most drummers.

[brycebreezy1]

bro.. you'd be surprised. especially young cats who want to just chunk away at their kits... lol my drum teacher in high school used to say the key to a solo are flams and dynamics. haha its just one of those things that everyone says "duh" but it should be talked about more.. adds to the drummers musicianship

[blanket101]

where could i get this ?dvd? or yeah?

[Fattydrums910]

its the Modern drummer festival 2008 dvd.

[hypoclit]
