Clips from Practice Session

[eeobeeob]

Someone likes Marco Minnemann!

[tdscotland17]

Very impressive. you're as good as you deserve to be (if that makes sense?!)

all those practise hours are paying off!

[alexsk8julia]

at first i thought you were a POS but props man you have something interesting are those neumann overs?

[Corynowell08]

Your going to have to move your set over, cause' Im bringing mine and moving in! Haha

[rossedgington]

I didn't expect this! good stuff mate very good. I know you know that :P

At 38, are they doubles or some sort of pattern?

[jump5tyle]

2:57 awesome!!!.....( :P)

[TriviumDrummer]

as if at 4:43 i hadn't salivated on myself yet...i think i crapped my pants when you played those kick hertas at 6/8, then do a metric modulation to 4/4, crazy man...just crazy.

[numbbum85]

Monstrous kit. How long did it take you to collect it all? And how much all together? Who is the manufacturer of your second snare? Are you a thomas lang fan? Guy seems like a douche but is technically astounding.

Keep up the limb interdependence work! Sounding classy!

[ameliorate2695]

at 4:44 thats like a variation on bleed by meshuggah

[sabianfiend]

bostonbuds how can you slate someone for not spelling words right then make shit loads of mistakes yourself.... then you slate them for being racist, when your a racist who obviously has dyslexia. SORT IT OUT

[bostonbuds]

shut up chrissb7 you dumb ass nigeer :dey,dere,and dis. did you ever go to school wtf what kind of jibber jabber is that quit hateing cause hes white

[dejonge]

OMG AWESOMEEEEEEEEEE

[borishog]

YOU ARE A TOP CLASS DRUMMER

[brandonmunro]

thats the highest set ride iv ever seen

[SabianAxis]

Yeah, I find it really comfortable up there! It's not for everyone though!

[dmcknight1208]

dude holy shit your kit sounds so esspecially for what im assuming is a shitty video camera mic that you recorded this video with

[pdp420]

what kinda throne is that o_o

[SabianAxis]

There are two answers to that question. In large text the throne reads "Gibraltar" but underneath that text it says "Roc-n-Soc".

I guess it was made for Gibraltar by Roc-n-Soc. It's a great throne!

[cedybearnaar]

Damn! I'm doing work experience at a drum store this week and when I'm cleaning the pedals I sit on that throne. It's like heaven! I think I'm going to buy it.

[voltwings]

is the the 7th trumpet breakdown your playing by august burns red at the begining, its 2's over 3's so it might just be coincidence

[SabianAxis]

Hmmm, never heard of that band. Definitely coincidence! :-)

[chrissb7]

i h8 double bass players but in all seriousness thats cause deres no nice beat 2 it nd dey cover up dere hands by smashing cymbals but ur elegant nd care about the little details which is realy a gr8 thing u took time 2 perfect wat ur doin nd it worked! at sum of the structure u used is like weckls.basically 2 sum it all up FAIR FUCKS 2 U!

[JonnyJM]

not all double bass is necessarily blast beats, alot of it can be used in funky stuff and used moresublety like the idea you seem to be getting at.

[jmr2master]

I agree. But no point in correcting people who are to lazy to do research and choose to leave comments about fields they know next to nothing about...

[Madchopz004]

look for this guys band!!! its gonna be like fuckin dragonforce!

[MikeyFlorida]

damn what a frickin nice sounding kit, and excellent playing!!

[D3M3NTIUS]

Wow, great drumming! Which microphones do you use in this vid?

[20102510]

get ur self a piano n make sure u stay true to the music that independence is real slick put some more of urself (feeling emotion) into it and take off g peace n love

[jovik]

AWESOME.

[randarmax]

[bobwhang]

Dennis, I love you.

[batboum]

merci tes videos sont d'une qualité remarquable et ton jeu est tres pointu!

All the best...

[pastapup]

Drums sound super as do you! Just tuned?

[SabianAxis]

I think the last time I tuned them was in October! They hold their sound wonderfully!

[Goddrum]

i know what you should play is bleed by messhugah cause it has the hertas or the fillins with the feet

[sickpack82]

the setup of your kit reminds me of marco minnemann's set. Some of the grooves and fills you play as well but that is no criticism keep it up!

[philolapook]

This guy is a marco-minnemanniac, Always crazy independance mixed with groove in those videos, always enjoyable!

[SabianAxis]

Thanks! Yes, Marco is my biggest influence, I have borrowed alot from him and I'm trying to take what I've learned from him and try to incorporate it into my playing and have my own take on the grooves/patterns.

[maeltKr]

your independence always blows me away. awesome video!

[Goddrum]

sick playing dude ill have to try some of those patterns, what was fill you play at the beginning phrased as?

[yuumaha]

inspiring!

keep on the good work!

[xkendizzlex]

Your a equivalent to Derek Roddy only with your own style, great video, keep the videos coming!

[danivedis]

very good man, and cool headphones ;)

[jcaxis]

you keep getting better and better dude

[ijnijnijn]

This fill in the second part are only doubles with hands mixed with the singles with feet?

[SabianAxis]

It's all singles in that clip.

Thanks everyone so far! It means alot to me!

[cjcdrums]

You're kicking ass with those foot patterns Dennis, awesome awesome job.

[drumplayher]

Awesome job!!!

[stu798]

Drums are sounding alot better produced, love those floor toms.

I should post a groove vid, been working on meshuggah bleed type pattern thingies.

[nightmare355]

That was fucking nice O.O

And your drums sounds awesome!

[sicklesickle]

Tyr u the man. None can top your groove, or your forumposts

[mattwalker21]

Dude, this is ballin' out of control!

[Pyritmann]

and all in one sitting, crazy crazy stuff, i would give a limb to gain that kind of independence in my others.

[Imsocool1004]

awesome stuff you got here. amazing work

[proto35]

dat is some very insane stuff...the sound of those RMV drums is amazing...great sounding everything!

[snazzyshoelace]

Nice set.

[LouddrummerO]

Awesome! Random acts of rythem, I like how you break down the exercise in sections in your other vids Great sounding kit! Keep up the good work!

[Mikesabre]

Great work man, keep it up.

[MikeyVPT]

Crazy skills with the patterns! I like your Nanigo... real sweet.

Have you ever thought about playing an electronic kit? I think I've asked you before... e-drummers need a role model, and you're style would lend itself Very well to an RET Percussion kit ;-)

I'm glad I subscribed to your videos. They make me think... a lot!

-mikey

[erevusx]

Hey Dennis,1 View!!!!

Great playing as always,your independence skills are annoying!!! i really loved the donati layering and the clave patterns.

Keep up the amazing work man!

[TheAnnihilator12]

Amazing stuff Dennis, very inspiring. Can't wait until I can do some of this stuff.
