@marralis Alex is phenomenal but Orbin has 7 or 8 years more experience. We'll have to see later on. I'll say this though, I can usually follow what Alex plays, even if I can't perform it cleanly myself. Travis, however, does things that I just can't get my head around, let alone attempt.

@PassageOfChrist Well I'm neither of those, but an atheist is someone who doesn't accept the existence of God because they find the idea wholly unlikely. You cannot blame them for their honesty.

I think we both have the same kit and shell pack (Well mine's a Vision VBX anyway). I'm looking to create a similar set-up, with the left rack tom being a 12x9 shell. How did you choose to mount yours? And what did you find was the easiest way to mount the right side hi-hats?

I've been watchi...

Stephen Colbert is tremendously talented at keeping a straight face in his creationist persona.

I was waiting for Sumeria. Really good medley, but I still feel a little bit disappointed.

Does Thunderf00t do anything anymore apart from favourite videos?

@Watergun8770 The last part of your argument, regarding the arm, is easily explained. I can't say anything about Hoyle, because I'm not knowledgeable about the man.

The arm moves in response to synaptic impules originating in your brain. The muscles contract in response to that stimulus (simpl...

Luigi is seriously antisocial.

I only had to watch 19 seconds to guess that he was going to have a big fat zil-bel buried in that set up somewhere.

If Thetans are God-like, how exactly were they banished? Genuine question.

@onefodderunit I accept that you believe Atheism is based on faith in chance, and that you think it's an unlikely prospect. Fair enough. But that only leads you to Deism. A reasoned belief in a supernatural creator does not imply monotheistic beliefs are correct though. So you are a Deist - w...

Paul could really help himself by rearranging his kit a little bit. I know it's personal preference and that is what he is used to, but I really doubt it's making it easier on his back.

@blrsycth Simplicity can be beautiful. But I think this is just derivative and boring. It's not tasteful playing, nor is it technical. It fits perfectly with the song and the song is terrible. He could have done more with the drum part. Anyway, I respect your opinion.

@TheJay1017 Travis Orbin, Peter Wildoer, Chris Coleman, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Marco Minneman, Steve Gadd and Gavin Harrison. Those guys are all technically superior and more innovative in my opinion. They are others of course. Neil Peart is a good drummer, but looking at this objectively, he...

@blastbeatshaman Nick, when are you going to demo the new Tama kit and Paiste set up?

@sahib22b1 Do you have evidence for the claims you're making?

@aloizek He was kicked out of the band with no warning. He was uncomfortable with their drug use and said so on more than one occasion. So they fired him over the phone and sent his stuff back in a trailer. I'm serious. Classy guys.

It's truly sad that John Lennon is dead but these people still walk the planet.

@theblueisyou I'm sorry - sarcasm translates very poorly over the internet.

@WelcomeWakinyan I know you posted a long time ago, so sorry for responding now. I disagree with you. Jazz drummers usually have tremendous dynamics and great command of rudiments. If you think metal drumming just consists of a skank beat (snare/kick/snare/kick etc) followed by a generic run d...

@alexmonro83 I understand and I think that your open-mindedness is a great asset. I have no right to tell you anything, but I would stay away from the throes of fundamentalism. The doctrines of Biblical literalism and inerrancy are dangerous things.

As for Gandhi, his philosophy stemmed from J...

@whatokyea96 Abasi is definitely a virtuoso. But I believe Al Mu'mir plays a little more tastefully here. Don't get me wrong, I listen to AAL and some of their stuff is incredibly beautiful whilst being majorly technical (eg Song Of Solomon - love the jazz influence).

Tosin is technically supe...

@SessionDrummerJames Relax my friend. You are providing a voluntary service. You can do things at your leisure. By the way, where are you based for lessons?

Very good. Very fluid. Vastly superior to most of the other covers posted.

Credit where credit is due.

@nnjhansen Sorry - I meant privileges. My 6th month old daughter can be tiring. Forgiven?

@proforum07 It's a tough job that most people aren't willing to do (spelling cops generally have no life and an abundance of virginity) . . .

Seriously though, you did know I was joking right? I wouldn't act like such a prick to someone who uploads videos for free, including some of my favourit...

@larrgamer You can do them. Just push from your diaphragm - they won't come from your throat. But you need to use your throat to shape the lows if that makes any sense to you at all.

So diaphragm >> some pressure exerted with your throat >> death metal lows. Getting word clarity is the diffic...

1987 - The year that Meshuggah and the Chuckle Brothers set out to take over the world.

@paulchookey Not a chance.

Really not a fan of the DnB stuff at the beginning. But all the grooves afterwards, just unbelievably good.

@spastic017 Sorry - I didn't mean it to come across like that.

I did read a post of Alex's on the Derek Roddy forum a while back where he mentioned using a two bass drum set up for a while. My opinions aside, I'm guessing he decided that it wasn't necessary to practice leading with the left f...

@MuDDiTToX Paul? He's a tank. He pounds the drums to add brutality to the sound of CC. But he should not be included in a list for "fastest double bass". That's not what he does best.

Mackey was good.

@Colton527 We bashing In Waves again? Mind if I join in? In Waves is lying under the waves in a very cold, very unpleasant grave where it belongs. Bring on the evolution of Shogun.

@Bostonian91 Fuck that reason (even though it is a good one) - I watched an evening detailing the history of Simon and Garfunkel the other day. It makes me morose that the 60's generation got to enjoy that music, and witnessed its transformative power on the conventions of society.

Fuck mobile ...

@dfurnaridrummer I honestly read that as you lost your shirt. I was imagining hysteria, sweating and nipples. The whole works.

Understandable - it's Gavin.
