[MrBrocollie]

Really professional sounding. Excellent timing, you were pretty much the equivalent of a human drum machine.

[testfoecho]

That was great. But I have to ask was this filmed in prison?

[noelevan]

@testfoecho - no it was at a rehearsal studio, thanks for stoppin thru..

[Gibson201]

Sick foot work! awesome chops, and for the record you definently do not look tense!

[noelevan]

@drummerchris83 - thanks for the comment drummerchris, i really appreciate that, take care..

[temporaryname73]

You are really in control with those grace notes on the snare! Sounds awesome!

[Journey432]

Keep rock'N, sounds good man. What type of drums & Cym (I like your ride what is that?) are you playing? I like the sound of your snare can you tell me what that is (brand & the size ) and what type of head do have on that snare? Thanks

[noelevan]

Thank you very much, journey432. The drums are the PDP (pacific) line from DW.

Model CX (birch wood) and Sabian line cymbals, though i really like the signature series sabian line much better. I always go with a 14 inch coated Remo Ambassador on snare drum for last 20 years. I am going for the PDP X7 (7 ply Maple kit in Jan. Take Care.

[0500765]

[noelevan]

[0500765]

[thegauck]

[Serb37]

nice video but you seem very tense :(

[noelevan]

thanks for stoppin thru Serb37. your the first person to tell me that..

[jackrok]

Actually I second that, You do seem kind of tense, Great vid/vids nonetheless mate. Dont make it make you think your videos arent good, Ill be using this paradiddle beat tomorrow. Nice little groove. But you dont seem kinda of tense, Not so much regarding arms and hands, But your body, it's not really grooving with your hands, like you would see most drummers do. But hey, hats off to you for making a nice a groove.

[noelevan]

Thank you , jackrok..

[mission100uk]

sounds great.. given me some ideas for the paradiddle again, thanks!

[noelevan]

Thank you mission100uk for stoppin by and the comment. You sound great, keep on Jammin.

Take Care..

[TheCrates]

Get upaaaaaa, ain`t it funky... ;-)

God given talent...what more i need to say...

Take Care N.

[guitargrinder424]

didn't see this one yet....I see that you're very funk influenced with your standard beats..

[noelevan]

yeah it's what i grew up on when i was a kid.

my dad shoved Classical, Funk & Fusion music down my throat..So it's more of my forte..

Take Care guitargrinder..

[CheesePhantom]

Damn, that was great, dude. Tips?

[noelevan]

Thanks for the kind words. Just keep Playin!

I stopped playin for 3 years, I am just gettin back into it.

[CheesePhantom]

Haha. Man, that's a generic tip.

I can never keep my right foot and right hand from playing together in the more complex beats, is there any practice method for making each limp more independant?

[noelevan]

still comes down to the same concept,more you practice and work on it the more you will overcome your problem. This is basically a parididdle beat. RLRRLRLL. But I took the HI-HAT and playing 8th note flow. and the snare is all The LEFT's in the paradiddle and the Kick drum is doing all the RIGHT's. I suggest if you know how to read or learn how to read is to get books on Drum Patterns. It will help you break it down. Mel Bay's Cook Book is a good one to start where i got the idea for this beat.

[CheesePhantom]

Whoa.

It sounds so simple when you lay it out that way. Thank you SO much.

I'll definitely check out that book.

[noelevan]

This book will be easy enough to figure out, but still provide very tasty catchy patterns.

Then you will come up with your own twists to the pattern like i did here in the video. Good Luck my Friend..

[CheesePhantom]

Thanks for everything, man.

I look forward to seeing more content from you.

[noelevan]

I put a new video up called - Drum Solo II
