[geekusadrummer]

@greatkid1 Thanks! Using a Shure PG drumset mic kit. Running that into a Presonus Firepod. Which runs into my Macbook Pro, and is hosted on Cubase LE.

great video, youtube is probably the best thing on the internet! years ago you'd have to spend 20 bucks on a video and it was probably crap!

I am always amazed at how you guys make rudiments sound so great.

Question: how would I establish a half time backbeat using this specific groove AND tempo.

As of recently I am very inspired by the grooves of Will Kennedy (YellowJackets) but can’t figure out a practical method as the patterns are so darn long and quiet.

Thanks Thomas!

Great stuff, but the audio and video could be better synced.
