About this user

Welcome to my Youtube channel! My name is Eric, and I have been playing the drums for about 6 years. I started in 2003, when I was about 16. My original inspiration for wanting to post videos on YouTube was to note the progression I was making. It can be difficult when you play the drums on a regular basis to see any improvement in your playing. If you record and look back after a few days/weeks/months, it is quite obvious the improvements you're making. However, as of 5/11/09 I got a strike on my Youtube account saying that I can have no videos which contain copyrighted music in it, so I've had to delete all of my solo videos of my playing along to songs. It is a bit devastating, but I would rather delete the videos than have my account deleted. So that is why you will only find my collaboration videos from here on out. Any comments or 'constructive' criticism you may have is greatly appreciated. If you enjoy what you see on my channel, please subscribe! I love subscribers! :)

Some information:

I am right handed and I play open handed style with the french grip technique (I try to at least) :P. The kit I currently am using is a custom built Jobeky. I use a DW 9000 double kick pedal. I use a variety of different VST's to help my sound with my recordings. Currently I am using Superior Drummer 2.0.

To answer some common questions I receive:

Why do you use electronic drums?

I have an acoustic drum kit, but I have had to stop using it due to noise constraints. I have been using an electronic drum kit for a few years and absolutely love how easy it is to get professional sounding recordings so easily out of it. I prefer to play on an acoustic set, but for recording purposes and noise purposes, I'll take an electronic kit any day.

What do you use to make the drums sound so good?

I am using a Roland TD-12 module, but the module isn't producing the sound. The sound is routed from the module into my computer which then uses a software application called Superior Drummer by Toontrack to generate the sound.

How do you make collaborations?

We all play along to the same MP3 and record ONLY our instrument. From there we all send the video to whomever will be doing the video editing. We typically use Sony Vegas to do all of our video editing. The audio tracks from all the recordings will go to whoever does the audio mixing. I personally use Cakewalk Sonar to do my mixing and I utilize Izotope Ozone along with a variety of other plugins to help EQ the tracks. After the video editing and audio mixing are done, they are combined together, and we have the collaboration. For a fast collaboration project it typically takes around a month for it all to be done...and that is if everyone does their own part quickly. Some of our collaborations have taken over 9 months to complete.

Will you do a collaboration with me?

I am very busy with work, school, and prior collaboration engagements, but if you are talented on your instrument and have the ability to make very good quality recordings, I just might help you out!
