metal sucked but jazz thingy was great

[daviethedrummer]

@ACMetan thanks for the comment. Any particular reason why the metal sucked?

[ACMetan]

@daviethedrummer Metal doesn't consist of blast beats... yours was fast, solid and "aggressive" but lacks the beauty of transitions and polyrithms (derek roddy, george kollias and bobby jarzombek sound appealing). It's a matter of preference but constant bpmed single strokes just doesn't give me the spirit. Great job @ recording quality (which I fail) and your openmindedness will lead you somewhere, Cheers

@ACMetan I agree entirely; the sole purpose of this video was to demonstrate stylistic versatility rather than musical creativity within each defined genre. The metal backing track was deliberately quite bare and I requested the tempo of 200bpm specifically for blasting - assuredly boring to the ear, but extremely fun to play. :)

Loved the mix of beats. I agree with most, the Jazz pieces were amazing.

@ACMetan metal drumming consists of alot of blast beats, fast double bass. what he played for metal was suitable and how metal always sounds. if single strokes dont give you the spirit, why did you mention george kollias , derrick roddy when they both use alot of single strokes haha

@ACMetan YOU SUCK MAN. HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT.

Would it be possible to get a list of cymbals from left to right in this video? It would be greatly appreciated.

do you have to pay for them when you're endorsed or anything, or is it a discount or free?

I'm about to post it. It's rendering. But first, I want to tell you a few things.

1. I'm 12

2. I know it has mistakes, it was the 1st time I've played the song in about 2 months

3. I wasn't aiming to play an exact copy, I like to enjoy myself a little more than that

4. It has some syncing issues in it, because some frames got dropped when I was putting it onto my computer

5. It would've had mics, but my mixer isn't working and 1 mic didn't sound good AND it got out of sync
