Pattern borrowed from Jon Theodore (The Mars Volta)

Update Feb-2009 : please check out the FULL VERSION (with backing music) among my other videos
---------------
This pattern comes from the album Frances The Mute, track 5 which is the start of the 30 minute epic entitled "Cassandra Gemini"

RESPECT ! Jon Theodore is God! :)

isn't that a SINGLE PARADIDDLE what he's doing?? correct me if i am wrong.

[fabricedrummer]

it is single paradiddles at the beginning and then its weird, I can't tell !

[YoungInfrared]

Tight! Love the Volta. Question: are those single or double para-diddles you play between the hat and the snare?

[fabricedrummer]

Hey! Those are single paradiddles

[sawsosis]

theodore got booted cz he didnt like the direction the band was going and so he didnt put any extra time into it. and instead of talking it out, tensions built up and they parted ways. pridgen prob smokes more weed than jon theodore dipshit.. almost every member of that band smokes weed with the possible exception of isaiah owens. the band had more balls with jon hands down.

Hey;

I'm used to play something like 4 hours in a row LIVE (i.e. Zeppelin songs, no Pop music) so I've got no lessons to learn from idiots such as Ambroulard... I wouldn't even give my dog such a nickname : Ambroulard

[bigperson666]

@fabricedrummer ambroulard is a cunt.

[fandomewhisper]

@fabricedrummer ur a single paradiddle

[chumanjames]

4/4

[fob199]

oh the cassandra gemini...

[theoawdng]

Those are definitely single paradiddles.

@tcslick420 how can omar tell pridgen what to play when he cant even read or write music, its not feasible that he wrote all his parts like a Frank Zappa. He could only have presented the music and given loose guidance. A drummer will stamp his identity on a band, hence the MV will never be the same again post Theodore. Theres no way Jon would have played pridgens parts either.

[FunK0Slap0GB]

@sawsosis Yeah i agree but probally the only guy who doesnt as well is Omar,Hes been clean since about late 03, and now he doesnt even drink hes that strict.

[tokazar]

is this @ MI?

@ambroulard man, you are good at looking like an asshole. Not even from a viewpoint of a Volta fan, but as a human being, you're a fucking dick. From a Volta point of view, it's weird that you don't have millions of fans if Volta is so bad (especially for a non-rap/pop/Boys Like Girls band)
