[ytjhhh]

what kind of base pedal is he using ?

[chrisbrien]

@ytjhhh They are just bits and pieces as this kit was supplied. A few days after this performance I switched to Gibraltar 9611 Intruders which are awesome. Particularly the Hi-hat Stands.

No reason to tear the guy down...He and thomas are doing the same stuff...I would like to see either of them play a jazz gig on a 4 piece....

[AeroAstro]

Maaaan awesome

[mastertune]

try you to make a good show for (maybe) 2 hours only with a drum... is logical then he play same beat for some measure over when performing a solo... the track need to be expanded...

however he have a great indipendence and coordination

[rlrrlrll21]

that was an awesome beat

[aleyva1]

boring, same beat over and over , you wanna see a good drummer check >>>thomas lang >>>>

[phatphace]

what can you say about aussie drummers? Awesome.

This is pretty technical stuff, without the excess drums or cymbals. Phatphace indorces many young aussie drummers as well. This is really good stuff to be learning
