me again... checked out some other stuff of yours. You're a monster player, maybe it was a bad day here...

@congakoenig : thank you very much sir ! I must admit i improved my drumming since i made that video. At that time, i switched from matched grip to traditionnal, for the first time of my life ! It wasn't too easy and needed a lot of work (and still need some work for the feeling of ghost notes...). On my three last videos (Vinnie's stuff), you can see that it's much better :) Thank you again for the good advice, it was very constructive :)

Did you checked John Macaluso's book? There are some great linear grooves! You should check it!

Cheers, Luca

Nice playing, but i think you need to work on your feel. In my opinion it's not perfectly in the pocket, and the ghost notes are way too loud at times. Look up some Rick Latham to see what i mean...
