Everything you do is awesome. From your ambidextrous style, immaculate timing, insane dynamics, you make it look too easy. And I've never seen a metal drummer incorporate so many ghost notes on the snare, it's really unique to your style, and adds an amazing element. You're awesome dude.
NO,NO,NO,NO!!!!!!bro,c'mon...dont waste your incredible talent to this music.
you have amazing talent and skill.you must make a band and give us some fantastic music.!!this is the fact "buddy"you are far better from this.you know it i think.
now about your technique :P.i saw that you using, i think, heel up technique and finger shit with ur sticks right?you had tried heel-toe or swivel or whatever else??
So is the use of the demon drives an attempt at catching more of peral's attention? I demoed them for a few weeks and I formulated the opinion that compared to axis or even trick they are sluggish, over-priced, shitty, chinese knockoffs of axis. (I even tried lighter beaters on them)
You're definitely one of my favourite drummers, such an inspiration both in terms of technique development and creativity. I'd love to see some exercises you do/did for your double kick control and speed building.
Not even joking. Alex is the best upcoming metal drummer out there. His ambidexterity, control with his hands and feet, and overall awareness around the kit make him one of a kind. He's top notch. I look forward to seeing him on Modern Drummer.
I just don't like much the sound of your snare. Well, I mean It's pretty good! But I think If u used a snare with a more "dry" and "treble" sound, you know, as the J.Jordison signature snare or a picollo snare, It would be better. It's just the sound I like to hear when I'm playing or when I'm watching the other drummers playing.
But still pretty good bro, keep it up!
And sorry for my bad English, I'm from Brazil and I'm self taught in my english.
@SkendoFire I think that if he preferred double bassdrums, he would have double bassdrums. I don't think it's beneficial to his setup with double hi-hat pedals.. it would be a ton harder to make a nice layout, that's for sure.
I'm not talking trash, because frankly I love Periphery and am friends with everyone in that band... but Threat Signal was an active touring/recording band long before Periphery was. So your statement really holds no validity.
you guys are one of the few bands that i will actually buy music from. if youve got the time, check out my new song, i posted it as a response, and if you have more time, you can check out the others :D cant wait to see threat signal live in march!
seems like your remo heads have a little more snap on the snare and the evans had a little more tone,(depending on how you tuned and recorded)im usually all about evans heads but that snare sounds better with the remo IMO.but great drumming as always,whether the song is simple or not....
hey man love your videos espesially the ones by animals as leaders:) but if you dont mind me asking what software do you use on your computer to record your drum audio?
The footcam's not gone permanently, I simply did not have an extra camera for this session. Trust me, there will be plenty more videos in the future which have the foot view.
