Burn The Bridge Play Along

[timehawkse]

these aren't any of the grooves that jeff recommends dude. if this play along is from the book then why not use what he suggests?

[klaasdesomer]

cool kit, crappy cymbals..

and sorry man, I don't feel your groove

[pazootka]

that reggae beat was only used in the first solo section, i like the second pattern better

[pazootka]

the reggae beat during the saxophone solo was interesting, i'd prefer to drive it forward, but what you did sounded very nice

nice kit, too btw

[disgruntalbaboon]

I jam with the turn it up lay it down CD's as well. Really like some of your grove ideas, but I will have to agree with the last statments that it seems like you are thinking about your grooves a little to hard and not feeling them enough

[blaze1766aa]

you should add a little open hi-hat in the man groove to give it a little more feel to it

[antonolssonlol]

Liked the video overall, but i think the main groove is stiff. Sorry ;D

[JoanoB92]

like your kit your playing and the song :D

pretty nice!

[paramore4367]

Cool. :) I hate this music but cool drumming. :)

I don't like trhe 16" crash that much, but I love the 18" crash! :D

[matter311]

Those Alpha's sound fantastic, Best bang for buck period. Nice playin' as well.

[drumdrumdrumfun]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[MapexRG]

Ok. I few questions. 1. What heads are you using? I know aquarian but what exact type. 2. What did you record the audio into? (Pro Tools, Logic, etc.) 3. What mixer did you use (if you used one)

Nice Drumming!

[TomGleesonDrummer]

Hey,

1. Snare: Aquarian Hi Enegry, Toms Aquarian Response II (now the Super II I think), Super Kick II. The 12" Snare is a Focus-X head.

2 and 3 I can't remember the mixer or the software the studio used to record the tracks, sorry!

Thnaks!

Tom

Thank you very much!

[marcods86db]

posso scrivere in italiano? mi capisci?

bello stile, pulito e raramente piccolissime imprecisioni, complimenti, credo che tra poco passerai ad un impostazione jazz, o anche no, comunque bravo, però se devi suonare con altri cose magari più "confuse"inizia a tenere il tempo con l'hi-hat!! a presto grandissimo!complimenti

[TomGleesonDrummer]

Hello,

I don't know italian, but I translated it in an Italian Translator on the web and have a rough idea of what you are saying. Thank you for your compilments! I hope you can read this!

Tom

[marcods86db]

[TomGleesonDrummer]

Dont be sorry! Thank you very much!

Tom

[Fear1The1Spear]

[TomGleesonDrummer]

Nope. Never used it!

[Fear1The1Spear]

Damn your toms sound sweet, you must be really goos at tuning then

[TomGleesonDrummer]

Haha, no its called new heads and getting the drum shop guy to tune them :P I need to learn to tune!

[Fear1The1Spear]

[Tylerdrums109]

Dude i have that same exact kit..only mine is the dark green lacquer finish...fantastic kit...the only thing i dont have is that 16 inch floor tom...where'd u get yours?...i also like paiste cymbals but only the rides and hats...i all together prefer zildjian but paiste has great rides and hats...have u tried the emad heads? i use the emad on my bass and i was wondering if the performance kick two was better sorry for the long post...keep playing man u are damn good

[TomGleesonDrummer]

Hey man, thanks for that! Its an 18x16" floor tom (18 diametre). I found it in a shop by itself, pretty lucky ey?

I haven't tried EMAD, but I love the Superkick II.

[nicksource]

[svsh9]

[TomGleesonDrummer]

I love and loath mine. Sometimes it sounds good, others it doesn't. Thanks a lot :)

[hurjapipo]

i really like the sounds of your symbals and drums.. the snare owns ad the toms... i love it! and the syumbals too.. and you play very good... ps. make video where you use your double pedals and hard

[TomGleesonDrummer]

I do have some others with double kick in them, have a look. Thanks for the comments on the drums. It's a mixture of good drums and good heads. The drums aren't even pro level and they sound great. The cymbals are ok!

[yamdrum11]

awesome stuff mate keep it up very neat indeed !

[TomGleesonDrummer]

Thanks a lot! Good to see you like Yamaha too!

[SKnDT92]

I really like the sounds of those cymbals. myself have Paiste PST3s. Great vid!

[TomGleesonDrummer]

Thanks alot for that. For the price, they are good cymbals (both the PST5's and Alphas).

[lromijn]

I've got a Paiste Alpha Rock China, and it sounds realy nice =)

BTW; very nice playing!

[TomGleesonDrummer]

Thank you!

I donr know how I feel about my China.

[pitspits]

Damn ! i don't like those Paiste sound, but your playing is good !

[TomGleesonDrummer]

Hey cheers,

They are Alpha series Paistes, so they aren't great.

Glad you like my playing!

Tom
