BASS DRUM TECHNIQUE : Planet X - Midnight Bell Groove (drums cover)

Here is a short vid presenting the way I play Planet X's Midnight Bell groove. The specialty is that I use a combination of 'heel up' and 'heel-toe' strokes.

This groove is composed with syncopated 16th notes triplets.
Please, excuse the mistakes it must have in the instrumental part... I made it by hear... and I'm just a drummer lol

Gears : DW Accelerator 5002 w/ PureSound Plastic batters, Yamaha DTXpress II.

Special thanks to Artbeat Sticks : www.artbeat-stix.com


Please; let me know what you think about this !

Keep on rockin' !

[traxxdrummer]

@JohannesDonati thanks very much man :)

Actually, I work on very specific grooves of donati, I will rec the Apocalypse groove in few days, Dog Boots too and maybe Lost Island... but as it doesn't exist full version of this tracks in guitar pro files I can only work the main grooves lol

[JohannesDonati]

@traxxdrummer: well yeah, there are not either complete o more GP tabs from PX, it sux...

But Still, you Could work them out with Donati's Playalong Book+2 Cds...

There's like 3 versions of each song, normal speed, half speed and repeated syncopated grooves

[traxxdrummer]

@JohannesDonati I should buy it but in France it's tough to find it... I will have to buy on Internet with port feas...

I found Micronesia, Interlude and Lost Island but the drums isn't well writen. I will work on it to make it "readable". :)

@@traxxdrummer: i got Ataraxia, like 3 different Apocalypse tabs with pretty much the same shit, just like 2 o 3 more bars, clonus, ignotus, interlude in milan, micro, pods, sort yourself, pyramids, obviously they're incomplete, or "ear" tabbed...
