This one is my favorite of yours so far. I'm getting out of shape because my drumset is in the studio and I have nothing to play on at home right now. I'll see you sometime in the future!
Thanks for the comment. This was just a scratch recording. I used shure b52 inside my bass drum, shure sm57 on snare and floor tom then there is an overhead above me to pick up the toms and cymbals. I use a yamaha 16 track recorder. Thanks for asking!
@dmarple No doubt you are one of the youngest and talented drummers. Congratulations the solo was totally creative and melodic. In fact what you did bettween 3:05 to 3:20 i came up 2 months ago with a beat very very similar. I really enjoy your work. i wish i had your age, but i am still fighting i startet drums 3 years ago, i am 44 now. I still have 16 years more to learn. Good luck in your future there are a lot of drummers but there is always room for talented people like you.
best one ever after the 2007 Champ! what i like about your chops? you got style, dynamics, groove!, you got taste, and above all...you look and feel so relaxed!
i can see that you are in the zone dude! you are up there with Lang, Weckl, and Holmes!
Donny i saw you at the Howling Wolf and The Rock Boat and you my friend are the best drummer ive ever seen. Hope to see you and your great band again
