Drums week 4, Petrillo tune 3

I finally made some (crappy) video of my progress playing drums. This is my fourth week of drumming with my TD-9s. My only other drumming experience (if you can call it that) is when I had a borrowed set for a few weeks when I was in college (25 years ago).

It didn't take me long to start upgrading my TD-9s. I bought a PD-100 and PD-80s off of eBay, and got a CY-12R/C from craigslist. I also own all three V-Expressions kit collections. In this video I'm playing the "Yamaha" kit from VEX's latest collection "Acustix".

This tune is from a sampler of Petrillo playalong tracks. It's a Latin-influenced tune, and I made no attempt whatsoever to achieve a Latin feel :-), since I don't have the know-how. I downloaded it from Hudson Music:

It's funny, I definitely appreciate the comments and ratings, but they're on the worst of the videos (what with the stick dropping and boring beat).

Oh well...

I have no choice -- to lazy to re-learn anything else :-). I'm left-handed, playing a standard right-hand setup, except that the ride is next to the HH. Works great!

Love your video.

Stick with the open handed playing style. It will do you proud one day.

Thanks. Looks like you have a nice "real" set!
