When he use zildjian cymbals what crashes does he use?

[jsdrumcapt]

it's "day" crescendo...and if you're going to use dynamics in an exercise, use the full amount of time to build and get softer

[kabustard]

Yes, you are correct. Phonetically, it's "DAY" not "DE." (nerd alert!)

[sungyc]

He can do the bass drums in scarified. What a nutter.

[inharmonicity]

Jeff's awesome.

[musicmantrev]

what pedals does he use?

[JakMaster9]

[spacitydrummer4JC]

I want to say Iron Cobra.

He teaches as clear as Paul Gilbert teaches his lessons too. Very very educated drummer.

[benthompkins]

Amazing drummer. Glad I got a chance to jam with you Jeff!

[hollowgroundsgtrs1]

Jeff is fucking RAD!!!! Totally an awesome dude and a Fucking amazing drummer!!!! He allowed me to come in and take some lessons with him when I was in GIT, AWESOME!!!!!!

[jgbuckley]

Jeff is a monster on the kit, as his work with Paul Gilbert clearly demonstrates, and a heckuva teacher - just from his book and DVD, my double bass technique has improved tremendously. The way he emphasizes even development between the feet has really helped me.

[Sillystan]

he's paul gilberts drummer

[dbjk]

Jeff is one of the greatest Rock drummers working in the US today. I've played with him and he's a total pro! Rock on!!

[ReXIX2]

I meant doing it with one bassdrum.

[phantomx793]

do u have to use double bass deums in order to play ot fast like that?

[ReXIX2]

i would guess so :) it is possible, but it sounds like a waste of energy.

[iKinDesigns]

In response to the original question, no; all you do is fake a horrible accident, saw off your dominant leg, and get fitted for a bionic replacement. The rest is pretty self-explanatory, with a few days of therapy and hydraulic modifications you'll be set to go. Of course, there's always the double bass option. But that's like cheating.

[toolatescissors]

One man. Nicko McBrain. He can do it with no bionic limbs lol, but actually the continual double bass is almost impossible. Nicko doesn't normally use double bass but is incredible all th same.
