[mcdrummonkey]

really insane stuff man iv always kind of looked up to dusty bowles drumming as inpiration but now looking at your stuff you top him like nothing really great stuff

[jasonbittner]

@mcdrummonkey thx

[GamerGuyProductions]

Do you recommend wearing ankle weights to help build double bass speed?

[jasonbittner]

@GamerGuyProductions well i have only dabbled with that so i really can't give you a straight answer - i do think it will help, just be careful at first, 2 pounds may not seem like a lot, but it is, wear them for small increments of time and build up your strength

[XxKultofDimmuxX]

[jasonbittner]

[240sxmetal]

@TheFallenillusion DW9000

[jasonbittner]

@xSTCx1 you just answered your own question really......look at the cymbals in the video

[Ichigo7401]

You really are an inspiration, my friend.

[roflcoz]

very nicely done, come to europe, want to see you guys do this stuff with my own eyes^,^ wtf was up with the light engineer though, rainbows everywhere.

[thejolf]

You are actually a legend for doing this, no drummers record a whole gig from a drum cam like this. But they should.

[kecapasinlombok]

[jasonbittner]

[snapascrew]

[jasonbittner]

@snapascrew my new Z3 "light" heavy bell ride - its a Z3 lathed down to 1/2 it's normal thickness - the one on my left is unfinished, the right one ha a brilliant finish

[WARLOCK70]

INTENSE!!!! Do you hold your stick tightly on the really fast stuff?

[jasonbittner]

@WARLOCK70 no way, you have to stay relaxed, especially playing fast

[VinceLatello]

@jasonbittner Otherwise the blisters would be EPIC!

[jasonbittner]

[CGDrummer96]

Awesome man!! tell me how do you love those awesome zildjians :D

[jasonbittner]

@CGDrummer96 love them!!!

take note of my prototype rides, 10" "swiss cheese" splash, and my "euro style" prototype 18" crash (right over the main hat)

[CGDrummer96]

@jasonbittner thanks for responding man! those are some awesome cymbals! xD it's kinda wacky because your a really famous drummer and you actually respond to the comments man, really appreciate it! :D

[pivotshabz]

6:05 - 6:15 not only sounded so cool, but my jaw dropped when you swapped the lead to your left

Nice work as always!
