I truly believe staying in touch personally means a lot both ways. So if you enjoy my videos, please, friend request me on facebook.

My name is Justin Pitlik. My friends call me Duddy, thanks to my big bro :)
I'm passionate about music. I love rhythm, chords, melodies: all of it. I've been drumming since the age of 6, and started playing gigs in my dad's band at the age of 12. I'll never forget the first time, when his drummer didn't show, and I filled in. Wow was I nervous, but I came through, with a little help from my old man. His other guitar player handed me a 100 dollar bill and asked if I was gonna buy some cds... I said, oh yeah!!

I use the 2 cameras sometimes with only "live angles" (synced to the drum track recorded), and sometimes I add a couple more, either kick drum angles, side views, etc. I record my external drums in Pro Tools, along with the song I'm covering, then bring that into a video editing program: Final Cut Express. I put the clips together, and add some effects to keep it interesting... without adding too much.
So please, continue to watch, comment, and SUB. I love to do this, and I hope you enjoy! Thanks! :)

This is what I do... I listen to music, and it inspires me. I then see what I can do to reflect it back and hopefully inspire others. My dream is to make it as a successful musician, and I'll do whatever it takes.
So far YouTube has helped with some networking, and I hope it continues to grow. I play drums and sing, and compose and produce music using Pro Tools. My goal with this is to get exposure with these videos, and upload my music that I've written and produced. That will come shortly. This is what I love to do: Compose, sing, write and drum!
Always follow your dreams!

Here are some wesites with my drum tracks, recorded with 3 different bands in L.A.
