Phat Beats

This is just a random collection of clips I've chopped up from my last week or so of practice. Some are straight ahead grooves, some are experimenting with independence/ostinatos, and some are just random goofing off. A lot of it's pretty rough around the edges but there are a couple nifty things that I like.

Thanks for watching! Watch out for Phat Beats Part Deux, which I'll upload shortly after this.

Heeeey! I know that kit from the PDF :D

You drew on your heads at one time, right? Some real cool designs :D

[mattwalker21]

@YeOldeElk Yup, that's me! And I drew all of the heads myself.

are those the yamaha phoenix .....

[mattwalker21]

@sweetfly66 Nope, I got these way before the Yamaha Phoenix were even on the radar. These are custom drums made by Conaway. Yamaha stole the finish from me, haha!

[sweetfly66]

is it the same finish ?

[mattwalker21]

@sweetfly66 Yea, it's basically the same finish: natural to blue fade. Mine has brass hardware, though, and the Yamaha doesn't have the same, cool perpendicular fade on the bass drum like I do.

treble ftw

not bad for off-the-cuff practicing.. I would enjoy some of those beats after abit of fine tuning.

really good idea to record yourself for practice purposes, but maybe not such a good idea to post it on youtube.
