Drum Solo 2

[Floatsforlife]

WOW! 

[RobTheWhiteZombie]

Your Snare needs some snares, other than that awesome :)

[SYPRESS17]

awesome.! Where you from..? need a drummer like you.

[dwrilesdw]

@SYPRESS17 im from Baton Rouge Louisiana what type of music do you play?

[georgiakid1217]

yo ur a beast dude

[akindword4u]

Good chops, Riley. Very clean. Try doing your solo in 8 bar sets. Establish a beat for us then create a 'song' if you will instead of just giving us endless fills. Watch Dave Weckl.

You have lots of talent.

[drumkill90]

nice shirt, dude ;) and great playing:D

[sammeyak]

Dude, you rock!

I love your solo.

[OptoOcto]

My names Riley Kemple xD

[MasterKeith123]

your clearly a Danny fan :L

[KevinM9333]

I LOve The Drum Awesome

[dangleesac102]

wat china is that it sounds like shit

[leeakametalman]

i like playing with my snare wires off sometimes

[BlastMaster3000]

Brilliant piece of work, hand technique is crisp and clean! Jealous!

[SirLectro]

Awesome drum solo dude!

[bfctbone]

im wearing that shirt

[tripleguy031]

when i record i still hear snare buzzing...

[paintsaint10]

HEY GUYS how do u stop ur snare wire from rattleing when u hit ur tom.

[xxxslayerxxx666]

you should have something you can turn to tighten the snare wires...or maybe tighten the bottom head

[ac7dcRoR]

tightin the screw on the side of the snare

[ipwndrums]

you cant

[SirLectro]

tighten the drum wire.

[ItsShredTime]

Well, I was having a problem with it and I looked at it and realized that my snares were slightly off center, so I centered them, tightened up the head a little, and tightened the snares a lot and it doesn't do it anymore.

[facedspaced]

wanna be my drummer?

[MikePorNToy]

I've got the same t-shirt xD

Nice job man!

[MG21749]

yo man your so goooooddd!!!

[MG21749]

holy shit your amazing

[YouSuckAndThatSad]

Great job^^!

[PotentialTen]

Yo if Slipknot ever needed a replacement drummer, they wouldn't have to look far. You remind me of a Joey Jordinson/Bob Marley hybrid. Sick patterns man

[marcel1990a]

i like the solo But i didn´t like the snare sound!

[Toshfunk]

thats coz its open id say

[rebelford245]

yea, snares are off

[JCRx45]

TOOL FTW

sick drumming dude i love 0:07 haha

[ollidrum]

very nice solo, i like it very much, so check out some of mine and tell your opinion

[eyeballface]

you got the tool top as me

[gravybiscuits57]

nice tool shirt

[JuJuNaUt]

that was good when u flipped ur stiock and it slowed down with the sound effects, awesome

[luckdrummer]

nice slomotion in the beginning =D

[koekhapper]

not bad.

[DamagedF0X]

Maybe it's just me, but I thought I felt a few pieces from Neil.

[hawkeye0l0]

yeah, a lil bit

[IanDrummer20x]

THAT was fucking awesome. nice job dude

[vivioilin]

that was what we call

"Gnarly"

Much love dude

[drummerdudesam]

loving how you picked it up at the end =) was feckin' sweeeet dude xx much loves

[Drzmvp21]

come one wail on those drums dont be afraid too it was awesome look so uncomfortable

[Childrenofbodom7]

your a prick. stop being so awesome hahaha! nah only messing, seriously nice job dude, your tight as a ducks arse!

[BabyToucher666]

did you turn the snare off cause disfiguring the goddess has theirs off?

even though their drums arent real..

[ZachJG2221]

Nice, A customs?

[JonDeth]

impressive!

The open snare kinda gives you the classic "big band" sound from the days of jazz swing .

[nl59]

Yoo can I ask, what china is it you are using? Has the same cutting noice im looking for. Cheers.

[dwrilesdw]

sabian 16 inch.

[nl59]

Cheers, can I ask what series?

[dwrilesdw]

i don't remember that cymbal is long gone...sorry

[josiahburnsred]

If you haven't gotten one already I use an 18" sabian AAX chinese cymbal. It's pretty similar to that one.

[sk8terguyatTHE760]

yo u look so much more diff but hey it dosent matter what u look like to play the drums but hey man u still play good and thats all that matters rock on man peace :)

[november21romance]

LOL it's just a matter of practice..

it's nice anyway..

kip on rocking..

^_^

[nonhasthisusername]

omg nice solo dude:P and nice with that slowmotion in the start i loved it...and i like the sound in your drums....how many turns you use to tune? cause i got a serious issue with tuning..i know how to but i never get any cool sound...

[Rogge14]

priority with tuning your drums is making sure you tighten each bolt the same. consistency is where you get really nice sounding drums. most music stores have drum keys with a torque dial on them and really help

[ilikecheese1011]

tool! yaaaaay! and incredible drumming

[mdoelger12345]

Dude, nice drumming.

You got a pretty nice kit there!

BUT: Think about getting some new heads and tune that drums!

Just a thought.

[dwrilesdw]

they sound amazing when micd but its hard to capture good sound through a regular camera pickup. Check out the other ones i have, thats what they should sound like.

[Drumtome]

I find your REALLY skilled, but i don't like the way you play. Just not my style i suppose, but your fucking amazing!

[OneManStudios]

oh and i like the zildjians a custom

im personally a paiste fan, not just bc danny uses them, those are why i tried them, but i love them, they fit my style

[dwrilesdw]

yea i like paiste too but i had a whole set of them and everyone of them broke within a year so i had to switch. But i like paiste's sound over all the others

[OneManStudios]

total opposite for my my are very durable

havent even cracked or nothing

[pdp420]

which model of paistes do you have?

[dwrilesdw]

i don't really remember it was a long time ago but they were really thin.

[OneManStudios]

TOOOL!!!!!!!!!!

greatest band ever

danny is amazing

[UndisputedSol]

Nice one dude XD

[DerekandJoeShow]

Nice

[devindove95]

cool slow mo moment

[damionthebeast]

tool is the shit man great solo not as good as dannie carey lol

[FinalObjective]

your awesome mate how long you been playing, also nice cheesy camera tricks, and really nice cymbals what make are they?

[Movienevermade]

the cymbals are Zildjian A custom, not sure if they are briliant though

[Benfiler93]

dude a solo like this deserves a better camera

[theyoungcameraman]

i filmed this video and the real video that doesnt fit on youtube is in HD so i cant really afford 2 HD cameras.

[ihateutube92]

its good, and yeah nice shirt.

its funny that u also have ur snare off, like many tool songs.

i have a vid but its from about a year ago, ive improved alot since then.

[albino809]

so simple but sounds so good

[playswithpassion]

well it's not SO simple, but I understand what you are saying. Like a drum newbie couldn't do stuff like this...

[zednelly]

dude i like the snare off sound. pretty tight, snappy, i put a snare on my tom its pretty cool. i had to chop up the bottom rim though, but its sweet

[tresdave33]

good to see your a Tool fan, great solo

[drummerofswe]

i don't like to watch people play because when they play this good i just want to have the same skills^^. awesome solo

[drummerofswe]

i don't like to watch ppl drum because when people play this good i just want to have the same skills^^. great solo

[danceaustindance]

swell

[vlastion]

Ok apart the '300' stuff at the start, this is excellent.

[peartportnoy]

that was pretty good

[greendanian]

Like i said on solo 1. Help me wit the Double Bass pedal bro.

[mannydrummer]

nice matrix lol

[sumstufflol]

Fucking awesome.

Nice shirt, Tool's my favorite band.

[chasd28]

love the slo mo

[drakurockero]

hey nice solo but i didint like your technike though also cut that slow mo it looks so dramatic, but you rock

[Wecklmania]

Nice Style man !

[BrianMcGooch]

Pretty sweet dude.

[Jabberwockee]

dude, you need a haircut. nice drumming though.

Tool are the best band in the world.

[albino6]

dramatic slow motion stick flip...so dank

[jasonmorris159]

damn kid fuckin amazing

[LukeTallica82]

love the slow mo

[alesplatfire]

nice playing

[thedrummerdude777]

The important thing is that you didn't copy the solo from Joey Jordison. Good job!

[newfiesabresfan]

that's INSANE man!

[Charlz88]

u still use double pedal or two bass drums?

[paintballdude1980]

hey man got a question... i'm trying to update to a bigger and badder kit, but i'm having real trouble finding a good one. urs sounds really good, hard to find drums that sound good by just recording it from a camera, and i want to know wat kind of kit ur playing on???

[dwrilesdw]

im playing on a dw tobacco burst 6 piece collectors set, its pretty pricey but has excellent sound. If you can afford dw's go with them. I cant even afford them i got them as a gift years ago, I also use evans heads and the EMAD head on my bass drum.

hope this helps

[letspwnnoobs]

sweeeettt

[drumology2001]

The Tool shirt is appropriate: you have a lot of Danny Carey-like licks going on here, and I mean that in a good way. The tuning of your toms is really nice, too...that 16" is killin', man! ;)

The only thing I would like to have seen more is maybe some cross-overs when you do the cymbal crashes matched up with your double bass drum (around 1:12).

[2slipkno1]

Older solo sounds better than this! But I think that this is also good

[newHOLZJUNGE]

do you use an metronom?

[dwrilesdw]

not in this video but i do every now and then when i play on my electrics

[ZildjianDrummer244]

Nice I like both videos man!!!

[master2215]

Nice dude. Good rythm and your play very loose i like that. That makes this a good drum solo. Keep on practicing. Maybe i will set a drumsolo of me on youtube.

[07jinx07]

Nice playing. Tool kicks fucking ass.

[xbry89x]

You're pretty good. Plus you like Tool :D

[BleedingInto]

You have an amazing sense of rhythm. Keep at it man, you are very good.

[doodoo1332]

how do u do that slow motion thing. its like the matrix or something

[theyoungcameraman]

i edited this video video for him about 6 months ago and all i did was cut it into clips and put those clips that i wanted in slo mo

[RedHotGeorge]

Nice shirt, and I'm super happy that you don't play like a stiff like the last guy i watched.

[yourmum17]

the slow motion sticks are fukin great. lol.

[Slipknotsicz666]

your last vid you sound like joey jordison from slipknot

[video680]

luv the snare

[nickman199]

pretty crazy

[dbk521]

dude, youre just that damn good. i enjoy listening. looking forward to more

[chrisrocks2010]

How old are you now? (oh and did you mic ur last solo up?)

[dwrilesdw]

im 18 and yes the last one did have mics thats why it sounds so much better than this one

[metallikuh520]

put on weight i see....atleast your playing got better

[dwrilesdw]

yea haha i like to eat

[chrisangell34]

mekanak20 is right u know; your real good on the toms(prob. beater than me), but try a beat every once and a wile. you will never go anywere doing any of that.

[greendanian]

GOD DAMMIT!! GET UR V ROLAND UP! `Mikey`

[dwrilesdw]

I want to but i cant get it to sound right, the clacking sound of the sticks to the rubber overrides everything, and i do have some sweet stuff on it because thats all i've been playing for months now.

[yamhadrumer]

u should have recorde this in the same place u did ur other solo it sounded way better there with what ever u were recording with. this 1 sounds like u arnt useing any mics at all n weather u r or not idk but ur set doesnt sound nearly as good

[dwrilesdw]

i know i know i dont have those mics anymore and i needed to put something fresh up so this one will have to do. I know the sound quality is crap, sorry.........

[mekanak20]

quit the racket and start playing alot more beats

[ShadowdudeD1919]

How do u get your bass drum to sound like that? It makes the pedals sound perfect.

[DaveyBoy22211]

mate, your not the same guy from the last vid, if you are, you look really different.

[dwrilesdw]

haha yea its me the videos are two years apart and you really couldn't see me in the first one.. but it is definitely me both times

[benlyons9]

your double bass sounds sweet

[angeldevil5699]

WOW amazing!

almost as cool as my drum solo

[tame1999]

hey man not bad. i'd recommend finding a root, though, and soloing over it - just to give some organization to the piece as a whole - right now it just sounds kind of chaotic.

[ilovetherain221]

wow you're good!

[dwrilesdw]

ive been playing about 7 years

[ShadowdudeD1919]

Wow you self taught yourself? That makes you even more amazing. How long have you been playing man? I've only been playing drums for about a year and i really respect drumemrs like you how work so hard all on ur own and have such a distinct style. Kudos, bro.

[thrasher3747]

it is really good but i just wish the sound quality was a little better

[dwrilesdw]

yea....me too

[pure2bone1]

haha - rich. BTW; tune my drums for me. I'm retarded when comes to that (especially my crapy bass)

[clevage93]

i like your style

[ImBetterThanRiley]

this solo is alright i guess. you ever tried listening to some travis barker or the drummer from hinder? they have some techniques i find useful, but i can also tell that some of your drums are a little out of tune; most dw's are like that, i recommend using like a pdp or sound percussion along with a porkpie snare or the joey jordansin signature snare and a triple pedal

[flick5712]

wow. first off this is an amazing solo. don't compare this with barker or hinder's drummer. completely different syles. lol and his drums aren't out of tune. if anything it's the camera and acoustics of the room. also, dw blows pdp/sound percussion out of the water.

oh, one last thing, it's jordison, not jordansin buddy.

[ImBetterThanRiley]

listen here flick! i know what im talkin about. for one my cousins girlfriend has a sister that used to date joey. and he was one of the best drummers ive ever seen. and you dont know acoustics. okay? and listen to his snare, somethings obviously missing and its gotta be the tuning. and dont hate on sound percussion. they use some of the finest wood for there drums, which makes them amazing!

[ShadowdudeD1919]

dude, this solo is great. Second of all, Travis Barker and Hinder's drummer are hardly drummer that you should reccommed people listen to. Reason being, they suck. Listen to Neil Peart or Danney Carey or Mike Portnoy is you want really great drummers. I'm not making fun of you for liking them, im just sayin they arent that great

[ClownRape]

HAY GUYS

I THINK 'ImBetterThanRiley' WAS MAKING A JOKE

YOU FUCKING SIMPLETONS

[ImBetterThanRiley]

this is no joke . . . THIS IS SERIOUS!

[breakinknucklesruler]

yep i knew you were a danny carey fan but i dont know wich one of your solo i liked better tha last one deffinately had more rythum

[breakinknucklesruler]

dw drums are very expensive everywhere dude

[4444shane4444]

dude i still think the first solos better

n its not just cus the recordin sounded more cleaner.

ur pretty darn gud man tho

\m/

[elementkaca]

great solo...i would like to have a DW kit but i'm from south america and DW drums are very expensive. good job.

[hyperactive123]

im surprised to hear ur self-taught. most self-taught drummers i know have no musical foundation and just try to hit drums hard and fast. im impressed though. steady kick pattern with funky beats overtop. if i finally get a good recording, ill want you take a look at one of my solos (youre better though)

[Guymannn]

everytime i see one of ur 2 solos it makes me wanna go back on my kit and practice more! Thanks!

[DWdrummer57]

Great solo. Also, who are your influsinces. I mean drummers, not bands.

[dwrilesdw]

danny carrey, mike portnoy, marco minnimann thats my top 3 but there is many more

[KyleMarathonDrums]

Great.

[gkdrummerboy]

Who's your teacher dude?

[dwrilesdw]

im self tought

[iheartsmetal]

wickd solo mate, could you tell us what cymbals&size you got thanks.

[dwrilesdw]

14, 16, 17, 18 crashes, 10 splash, 16 china, 14 hi hat, 22 ride, most are zilgian a customs

[bkrliterry]

Who the Hell said its better than Peart???!!!??? Decent but better than the GOD on Drums? No offense, but I think not!

[dwrilesdw]

thats my friend he was joking i know im no where close to neil peart

[NightTrainAntigua]

very very good!!!!!!

[XxXlGothiclXxX]

nice

[Magicalocity]

WOW!

[pAisTeJordison]

Are you kidding?! You don't play in any band? :D Great solo!

[marcus6665]

awsome stuff man check mine out say what u think

[BShizzle225]

wow man u r better than neil pert

[mullet0909]

flippin right! is that brett at the end?

[dwrilesdw]
