1st. That 1st Lick isnt Punk

2. Put the shitty mask off, show your face

[MarkHeaps]

Hey man, if you can't play it just practice a little more, you'll get there.

I would show you my face, but than I'd have to kill you and I don't like making mothers cry.

And in future try to offer a little more substance in your replies otherwise I'll just block you from commenting on my friends drum videos...

have you ever seen a girl clone trooper? o.O

[MarkHeaps]

For future production I'm trying to schedule a girl clone trooper in the next videos...stay tuned.

@ACompetitiveHalo

yeah, I'm with you, mate! Even tho I don't do much by way of 'stereo drumming' in this particular video, the verb I put on the whole kit is stereo and enhances the whole ting in my estimation.....So, don't be afraid, put on both sides of your headphones, even use your 3rd ear if you have one....

Hail Lord Vader,

BF

[ACompetitiveHalo]

my right ear is lonely. . . ;(

@trevrocks62

Thanks for listening....I take the robot reference as a compliment! But if you think I play robotically, which again I thank you for, you aughta check out Johnny Rabb. THAT guy is frickin BIONIC!! (and oh yeah, he's a rogue member of the clone army) BTW, I think this video sounds better in stereo...

Give in to the Darkside, Merry Christmas,

BF

Put in head phones, only put in the right head phone, enjoy robot drumming

[rtcarleton]

It took a couple years of practicing the same thing over and over which, is basically a riff generally referred to as 'quads'. Simply ,it's 4 evenly spaced notes :

RH, LH, RF, RF...

after awhile it just comes to you and it gets easy. the hard part is doing it constantly thru a 45 minute set or longer.....

good luck,

BF

how long did it take you to start playing fast like this cause im looking for a drummer who can play lagwagon descendents nofx bad religion that type of stuff

[rtcarleton]

@finemaltliquor1

Greetings ....and thanks for the question.....my later videos have an inset camera on my feet, but this one doesn't. As you can see, I'm on a dbl-bass kit, but to answer your question, no I am not using the left kick on this beat. As you know, most punk drummers play single-bass and I am just following that tradition and playing single bass....uh, as fast as I can!! hahaha....

May The Fours Be With You....

[rtcarleton]

I wish THAT guy had instructional videos

[DrummerXx311xX]

If you really want to know how to play fast punk just listen to Eric Sandin of NOFX....

@Civitify

may the fours be with you,

BF
