[greekdrums1]

hey man i really enjoy your playing .

i really wanna ask u how can someone expres his self in that aproach to drumming....

is that a pure imprvisation or are these "licks" u have learnt to apply.

thanks for the inspiration....

[schoolofmusiconline]

@greekdrums1 I think it's really a combination - it's improvising but it's using licks and rudiments to link it all together. I find that it's best to practice "licks" etc carefully, but then when I'm actually playing I try and forget it all - just let myself go and let my muscle memory connect the dots from what I've practiced. It's not easy to explain and I guess people have different mindsets to improvisation.

where did the cow bell go?:)

@joebalakrishnan Will Ferrell stole it.

@SlayerPJO No it is not...every Jazz drummer can play metal music but every metal drum can't play jazz music

[zwerty007]

Can I use some small snippets of this in a song?

[MusicByAngels]

@WelcomeWakinyan Metal can be a very intricate and demanding style. It's a specialization on the same level as jazz.

I find your playing absolutely fantastic. You've got some incredible equipment too... but man... Nice touch! Glad I found your vids!

What hi hat are you using?

[Eleutherarch]

@WelcomeWakinyan I know you posted a long time ago, so sorry for responding now. I disagree with you. Jazz drummers usually have tremendous dynamics and great command of rudiments. If you think metal drumming just consists of a skank beat (snare/kick/snare/kick etc) followed by a generic run down the toms, you're wrong. Yeah anyone can do that. But great metal drumming takes a lot of practice and cannot be done by every jazz drummer. Play a combination of both. And watch some Travis Orbin.

[zachb1997]

[H4rdboiled]

Very cool, tight jazz sound! Could that snare be one from finnish KUMU? It sticks out somewhat :)
