One Armed Drummer: Take 2

This is my most recent drumming video, taken today, approximately 4 years after the first one I uploaded. I've been practicing! I did this for all of you who have showed your support, and also in homage to Dennis Chambers, one of my favorite drummers.

I apologize for the quality and position of the camera, its a turd of a webcam that I bought from Radioshack, the same place that I bought the mic I used to record this. Sorry guys!

I'm using the same prosthetic device on my stump as I used in both my instructional video and first drumming video. PLEASE DON'T MAKE HARASSING COMMENTS!! Many people of all ages view this, and my mission is to help amputees from around the world with playing drums. Contact me, I love to give advice!

i'm also a drummer with a missing left hand but i use a prosthetic made of silicon and plastic but when i work up a sweat as you do when you drum the prosthetic starts to slip off i wondered if this has ever happened to you and if you had any tips to stop it happening.

keep up the drumming it sounds great!

I have been playing drums for ten years, and I have never seen anything like this. You are an inspiration my man. Thank you for not giving up!

@shotsxxx i would go with the video cam if it was me..some web cams dosent have a very good picture.

Yeah, but rick only has one arm, this dude has one and a half (no offense). Rick has to play snare with his left foot, (which is crazy difficult to do).

But kudos to this guy! he really is amazing.

cool man

Dang. That's nice drumming.

Most drummers I've heard and played with would'nt be able to do this even if they had four hands and six feet. LOL

Quality overrides quantity once again.
