[szuter10]

You should get yourself more cymbals and cowbells

[bulltrader2007]

Excellent timing, cymbal chokes, and open-handed playing!

[cbarrett34]

does phil collins play the drums on this studio recording? or did he use a studio drummer?

[vadennotbaden]

Frogpond I hope you are in a band because if you are not you should be...

[macythewonderdog]

Did you forget the cowbell at around 2:40? My favorite part. :)

[EyeHawk777]

why are you using your left hand on the hats?

[davko22]

Nice! But pardon my ignorance, you seem to be mirroring the drum beats on the original track, so why is it improv?

[DjNcGra]

big props man from poland:)

[DeMoNicslipknot]

nice kit! i like how your rockin the hi hat with your left hand.

[frodofister]

great performance..well done :-)

[n4ch022]

[mathiasvanacker]

WOW!!! Your a good drummer!! And the drum, so many cimbals!!! That must be expensive!!

[dragonpullman]

Wow, that was awesome! I bet it takes practice to make that faithful of a cover.

[shadowjet16]

i thought left arm use for snare drum, and right arm for hi-hat, am i corret??

[KidMoneyFresh420]

22 people were easy lovers

[robert140602]

Are you a right handed player.playing left hand on a right handed set up?

[barrotty]

do you always play left hand hi hat? Are you left handed?

[StevieB1362]

Dang you make it look so easy. I'm jealous froggy. I got no rhythm! I play saxophone, trumpet & flute, but OH how I wish I could play drums. Can't even play piano. I'm stuck in the one thing at a time syndrome, can't separate my body left from right. It's a one note at a time curse! Thanks for posting this, it' s cool to see it actually played while you listen. You are fantastic! Can you post some ELO & 70's rock?

[StevieB1362]

Very well done mate!

[loquimarian07]

LOL...LOVE U SCRATCHING YOUR BACK. HAHAHAHA. U CAN HOLD ON FOR SUCH A LONG TIME PLAYING THE SAME BEAT WITHOUT LOSING RHYTHM. I REALLY ADMIRE U, FROGGY.

[Goldendonkey71]

Este tipo es muy bueno!!!!! y para colmo zurdo como Phil...

[Drumfather]

Wow! Great Job! Rock on \m/

Keep up the good work and I did a cover of Phil too!

I play drums with my right arm only due to my handicap

[ldrumma2002]

Very nice big broziff...

[8188ify]

Very good, congratulations!!!!

[chocks1]

Very nice, have you always played open-handed?

[elbettto]

Very nice playing!! I wish I could have a drumset like that.... It's just a dream!!

[darulerz]

Nice dude, I love it1

[StevieB1362]

Great Job! Wish I would have taken up drums. Do you have the Guinness Book record for largest trap set? Dang! That's awesome!

[bigbadbronco86]

haha showoff, great cover man i enjoyed that as much as watching phil collins

[sooperfukker]

@frogpond1 what i always want to ask a drummer ... does practicing give you strong arm and neck muscles ?

[froggpond1]

@sooperfukker You develop playing muscles, which are stronger, but not like a weightlifter ,,,,,,more like a boxer.

[sooperfukker]

@froggpond1

Which would lead me to another question. What is the difference between the drummers that use lots of power (seemingly) and those drummers who seem to have quite an easy time when even playing the most demanding sets ?

[jbelmaestro]

@froggpond1 yeah its true look at phill collins hes very muscled he hads very good biceps.

[zacefronandwiggles]

@froggpond1 great job

[pskittle488]

@froggpond1

Question then: Would training under a similar program be better than say.. another type of program? Also, I haven't seen anyone play the way you do with the right stick on the snare and not the left. Is this easier for you or more challanging?

[daruiner]

@pskittle488

I can't answer for him, but I play the same way. I'm left-handed and it just comes more naturally for me to do it that way. Perhaps a side-product of playing on a right-handed person's setup initially and just sticking with it that way instead of trying to move everything over to a lefty setup, but nowadays if I were to go to a left-handed setup I wouldn't be able to play it for shit.

[BociftusPotions]

@sooperfukker not just creating muscle, not just the neck and arms but more shoulder muscles and stronger wrists. It entails more muscle dexterity and its a great exercise especially if you play some type of heavy metal your legs create stronger glutes and thighs. Why you think that majority of drummers are skinny, no other band member from singers to guitarists can not complaint about pain while the drummer keeps the beat and some how maganes to pop his hip while playing, thats hap to me.

[ECLEKTIKMAN]

I played the drum during 15 years and it is always a happiness of watch playing somebody it. THANK YOU

[obreerbo]

Very well done! Great balance on the mix of your kit, too, with that solid low end on the kick.  Very professional!

[knightschemdry]

Nice!

[therazz07]

holy crap, that was bad ass! great job!

[ElectroMofoz]

amazing, wich version of the song are u actually using on the background ?

[rencasval]

[williamq19]

Nice set bro sounds good, left handed thats unusual :)

[rdoetjes]

nice and smooth looks almost effortless!

[NuggetPumpkin]

Yes!!! The Minnesota shirt at the end was just the icing on the cake! Great song above all, and great drumming! Do you play live anywhere in the Twin Cities? I'd be happy to bring out a group of people to catch a set any time!

[tptguitar5280]

[natelesterjr]

[reillypartners]

your kick drum is off beat. it's 4/4 with an added 8th on the 3rd measure. less is more!

[sherbert500]

[apple101ization]

Hi Froggpond! Very nice feel on Babalon Sister, with the funky cymbal shots, really like your playing. What kit are you playing,,,,,,,,,,,,Doug C in Vancouver Canada  playing a cherry satin DW

[froggpond1]

@apple101ization Tama Starclassic Birch

Thanks for the kind words

[InHumanForm555]

@froggpond1 -nice cover man, good pocket, solid groove, kick sounds absolutely killer. I am gonna try to start jamming this tune soon.

[froggpond1]

@apple101ization Hi and thanks for watching, Tama Starclassic Birch. That DW kit you have is very nice!

I finally picked up a Bell Brass Supraphonic,,,,,,,,,,,Using a tama 12 ply maple in this tune

Thanks for the comps!

One of my old guitar players lives in BC,,,, i moved from TO to MN years ago.

I'm from PQ

[semcorda]

@froggpond1

Everytime I look at name of this kit you guys are talking about (I'm not a drummer), I see "Tama Sarcasstic Bitch". I should go sleep already, lol.

Almost all Phil Collins productions make me play "air drumkit", I envy you your skill to play real one:)

[bigworld3001]

[Antaresrock2010]

[see2holes]

Great work on your Hi-hat with 4-notes + Accent 8-Notes + solid bass pedal. Woo! That's awesome. Keep it up man!

[DaveStarr4]

that was cool like those cymbal pull off you did very slick

[kayla9170]

Excellent job!

[garyallenshow]

Mistakesl? I'm lucky I have the coordination to walk... When I did top-40 radio from 1990-1993 , the song filled the "DJ pick" slot in my playlist many times. Reaching up to dampen the cymbal--while still drumming? The sound is perfect...especially for an improv.. I expected to see the hi-hat, snare and probably kick bass (can't see it) star in this drum-driven classic. which is still good to hear 25+ years after its first release, but it takes the drummer to put them together. Great Job!
