Alright so this is kind of embarrassing, its a simple beat and i thought it sounded cool, but its short, and i messed up at the end, thats why it sounds like jumble and then i just stopped. Please critique me. and i have not been playing very long, this is maybe my 8th month playing and this isnt really a sign of what i can do because this is really simple. but anyways i hope you like it and here it is: http://youtube.com/watch?v=KyUgw-BA3Zk

also the sound quality is HORRIBLE this was recorded on a little digital camera and it makes my cymbals sound really bad

Hey, man, don't be so hard on yourself...this is your first video, and while the cymbals didn't sound as good as you liked, you learned from it.

You'll loosen up a bit as you get used to havin' the camera on you...and before long, you won't even notice it. (And as for reaching up and pulling the camera down, givin' it that spin...:icon_mrgreen:)

If you can get someone to work the camera for you so you can focus on your drumming, that'll help you relax even more.

Good start, and you're gonna make the next one even better--lookin' forward to it, bro'! :ok:

Good stuff coke, excellent beat. You're doing really awesome for only 8 months.........

OK, the hi-hat is on the (1,2,3,4)
The snare is on the (and, 1, and, 4, 1)
The bass is on (1, and, 2)

Am I reading that correctly?

ok each of the x's are hi hat hits, so they are 8th notes
the snare is on 2, 2a, 3 and, 4e, 4a
bass is on 1, 3, 3e

does that make sense?

Of course not LOL

if you count it out as 16th notes you know 1e&a2e&a3e&a4e&a
HI hathits on the bold numbers:1e&a2e&a3e&a4e&a
Snare hits on the bold numbers:1e&a2e&a3e&a4e&a
Bass hits on the bold numbers: 1e&a2e&a3e&a4e&a

That's more like it LOL I can understand that :) Thanks

anytime

Simple yet cool beat you got there coke. :drumset-3:

thanks andrew

CC, I'm proud of you! It takes gut to post that first video, I know! LOL I also think you should feel good about that video. That beat may seem basic to you, but I think it's a tougher beat, and I thought you did it well. Now that the butterflies are over, it will only get more fun!!

ha thank you PB, i can always count on you for kind words of encouragement

I'm there for ya dude, just like you always are for me!!

Definitely not as bad as you made it out to be, dude. You can't be so critical on yourself in that negative manner, it all sounded fine especially for only your 8th month. That ride sounds really nice as well. Good work.

i like it and hey if after 8 months you can play that then just think about what you can do in a year

Amen DD!!

haha thank you guys

Hey coke can! good stuff there buddy. The beat is really cool that you are playing, well done.

Great job! It seemed to me that you were trying to push yourself to go as fast as you could. If so, maybe try to slow it down a little and perfect it. Then slowly get faster.
