[westhofer8]

I LOVE THIS KIT!!! WHAT IS IT?!?!

[ZMoney99999]

You know I'm not even sure.  It's my old college's set, but I want to say an old Slingerland? It is surprisingly a very nice kit in my opinion. Has some nice tones. I think Ed Shaughnessy used to use this very kit.

[crustandcrumb]

Infinite inspiration.

Thank you for playing the drums.

[cab88888]

In a former comment of mine, I said it was a 5/4 - 13/8 groove, and it is true to a certain point of view, because I guess it would be easier to count it that way. On paper thought I would write it : 5/8 - 5/8 / 5/8 - 5/8 - 3/8. That said, that guy is one of my 2 favorite drummers. When do you play with Dave Holland, cool man ?...

[stunna8907]

beautiful finish..beautiful ghost notes..beautiful vid..

[elsegno]

Buena cosecha.

amazing drumming

[hihats]

gretsch drums?

[westhofer8]

i was wondering that too. i'm in the process of getting a gretsch set in these drum sizes (the catalina club jazz) but the catalina club has maple rims on the bass drum. so i have no idea what this is =(

[Drumman74]

Some of the absolute best playing I've ever heard from a unknown player.... This kid is sick!!

[xichtus987]

woooow...wonderful...:))) I am impressed!

[cab88888]

It is not only 5/4, but 5/4 - 13/8 alternated. I really like the bass line, and moreover I think you are a very talented drummer. Your language is very developped, and your drumming is very precise. Love it, hope to hear you soon with some great musicians playing great music.

[blacked3window]

why do you play without a t-shirt..?

...is it really more comfortable for you..?

[MovieFun25]

Skidmore's finest

[uriangatobataclan]

This is very nice what you do! Yet I don't think that's 5 time, yet I don't get the time... it sounds more like 9/8... but Im not sure... :P Very nice, though! Keep it up, man. Regards from Mexico.

[kriswak]

Sounds like 5/4 to me with the 3/4, but I wouldn't have been able to figure that out by listening--the 3/4 would have thrown me.

[Preseh]

Does anyone know how or what he's doing with the cross-stick at about 1:06? I've seen it a few times and it's awesome!

[uriangatobataclan]

I think those are doubles, I've been practicing it because of a GREAT 7/8 time groove played by Gabriel Puentes (I'll upload it, I guess). What I do is to practice paradiddles with cross-stick on the snare and the floor tom, it's terribly tyring, yet it's worth. Regards from Mexico.

[buffbluntz]

rim click, hi hat, hi hat, rim click...

[chodarth]

Play the cross stick (LH) then keep the stick against the rim and play another stroke (RH) by hitting the stick on top with the other stick then kick drum. Play triplets L-R-F and 4's L-R-K-K let me know if this helps or you need me to post a vid.

[aronizer]

Man, I don't know what to say. I watched almost all your videos. You're amazing

[Dietmar39a]

[dhsc19]

I love how you're not just all crazy fills, but you have a great groove and feel. And your playing is so dynamic and musical. I hope I could meet you some day and I can only hope to learn a Reese's Pieces size of what you do.

[alazaruz]

Hey Zmoney! How do u upload High Quality versions of your vid?

[musicmadman23]

maison was tellin me how sick ur rim shot was

[Ryanwilsondrums]

once again real nice stuff man!! what are some of thows hands to feet patterns you use?

[chodarth]

R l l F

R l R l l F

Place the left hand ghost notes on the Snare. Move your right hand between hat, toms, ride snare, whatever. Try adding a second kick with the right hand on the 1, this will give you two fast kick strokes. Play these as 16th, 16th triplets, and 32nd notes.

R l r r l l

This is just a double paradiddle. He uses this a lot. Again play as 16, 16t, 32nd. Add two kicks at the end to make it an eight note phrase. Hope this helps.

[chodarth]

Sorry, I meant paradiddle-diddle.

[Ryanwilsondrums]

thanks for that man!!they will definatly help

[contrapunteado]

buenísimo

[rharley1982]
