Dave Becher Anthology Drum Solo

A 35 year-long drum solo.

A montage of solos woven together from my first recorded solo in the 70's until now.

Man you are real smart for having documented these solos over all of the years. You are an extremely fluid drummer. You get around the kit with nice precision. Your solos are all very well put to gether which in itself is difficult. Very nice execution. Liked the snare stuff around the middle of the vid. Enjoyed it all...Nick

@readyeddy101 The one I was real glad I caught, was the very first one, when I was about 16, and still had hair, and was thin! The rest were from over time. This video is a bit tough to watch for the outsider because it's long, and kinda boring. But I did it to document myself over time, (and so that I could finally throw away all those old VHS tapes!) Thanks for watching!

Man...if I only had thought of this! I've been playing for 24 years and would have loved to documented my playing over the years! 5 stars, bro!!

Thanks! I was fortunate that our family got one of the first available home video cameras right after they came out. Huge and expensive by today's standards, but it did the trick. I found that videoing yourself was a great practice tool for shoring up weaknesses, etc. But I ended up with 5 full VHS tapes! So this was a good way to preserve some of that, AND still clean out the clutter! Plus, I don't think it's been done before on YouTube. Editing it all down WAS a major project, though. Phew!

Mad stuff altogether! :) I like how they sort of run into eachother! Very well done!

Thanks, Darrell. Yeah, it's old material. Kind of like when TV shows go on strike and they string together a bunch of old stuff to make it look like a new episode! Actually, alot of work when into this one. I had to go through hours and hours of videotapes and document the different eras. Then try to match up a snare ending segment with snare beginning segment etc to keep the continuity. Frankly, it was a pain in the ass, but at least now I can dump all those old tapes that take up so much room!
