  • @Anonymous122131 That's dynamic.

  • @Anonymous122131 I got cramp from laughing so hard!!! thank you

  • @Anonymous122131 yeah, that's actually how you play the bass drum in jazz......very quietly.

  • @Nitram916 The Lego guy is right. Jazz is a whole different style. You typically don't apply the "four on the floor" approach all the time, but when you do, you obviously don't play it loudly. Grow some musicianship.

  • Kill expert village!

  • That ride cymbal sounds awful!

  • @chazmaster121 actually he has no bass drum technique he hits it soft but without rebound so their no bass sound, just a tiny little thud without a whomp too it.

  • @Anonymous122131 dumass

  • @Anonymous122131 in jazz drumming you are not supposed to play the bass drum loudly. Unless you are playing an accent in the figure or at the end of a fill or something

  • @Anonymous122131 Dude, i read that and could not stop laughing! Thank you HAHAHAHAHA
