  • Wow drugged you are an idiot my friend. If you truely new music, you would think this video was amazing. Sure it doesnt look hard, but to get those sounds so precise each time is just simply amazing. People need to stop trying to "one up" people on You Tube. Embrace anyone who has the passion for music. Play with them, not against them. Dont try and be better than everyone else. Just sit back, smoke a bowel, and love the music.

  • the new tetcher of expertvillage is really better than the last one thanks

  • I am enjoying lessons here just getting into drumming and you have been very helpful with basic~sweet thanks!

    

  • Extremely helpful.

  • ooh my poor neighbours are going to hate me

  • @Sonic7412 Try not to be so quick to judge. Clearly this is a video meant for beginners. And its a good vid if you have no idea where to start. Hard is always merely a matter of perception. If you watch and are a visual learner its clear what and what his hands are doing. Playing with this on your own drum while imulating his you can achieve a similar result. We must allow for others to have their own process to achieve thier own mastery when they can merge thier body with the music.

  • Slaps are really hard to perfect...

  • @Sonic7412 well said!

    

  • @Sonic7412 totally agree. right frame of mind.

  • A really slow motion will solve my problem ... I got my drum today..so...i'm trying to work with it...

  • thank you !!! Total Respect ... you really do teach very well !!
