Ok I am going to step up and start this thing, I know for a fact that there are some very talented drummers, EVEN if you don't think so, so lets see some videos, this is the best way I learned, I was scarred to death to post a video on this site, but I did it, and you guys and alot of other people really seem to like them, and your imput is so valuable, and has helped me so much, so I STRONGLY suggest or ENCOURAGE you to make your video of ANYTHING you want drumming wise and post that bad boy.

Here is one of mine, it is a newer one I did called understand by Jeremy Camp.

my speakers wont withstand that punishment haha

Besides that will just make everything distorted and horrible sounding.

How did you do that Kevin? I've been wondering for a while how you got your music to play perfectly in the video with the recorded drums. I'm video illiterate :P

It is actually very easy, but does take a little time to sync it up.

I use windows movie maker, should be on your computer it comes free with xp or vista, open the video first, then drag it down to the top line of the storyboard, then open the audio or song you want to sync it with and add that to the second storyboard line, now it is just a matter of syncing the two together, if more detail is needed, just let me know.

Thanks man. I've got movie maker so I just need my recording stuff back and it's all good.

Cool

Im gonna get my mate to get one on my phone this weekend. It will be the first time i played in about (Rough thinks) 4 or 5 months.

See how i do with no practice (Cept my lil pad) For that long :P

Shock to the system im sure.

Will post monday or tuesday :>

hey, thats exactly what I did, accept the problem is, since you can only focus in on the time bar on windows movie maker so much i cant get them exactly ensync, its either slightly behind or ahead, ever had this problem? well i tried only once, so ill try again

Yea try again, and make sure the magnifing button is all the way up, you can zoom in to be able to edit like within 4 sec, it has always worked good for me, like I said before it can be a little time consuming until you get the hang of it, and you can also mess with both the audio and video.
I love this program, and I think it works great, you will figure it out, I am sure of it, but let me know if you need any more help.

nice work pd i dont have a camra so i cant post one. but i will try to get my hands on a friends and use that to post one. probably the wall by pink floyd when i do.

Hey Kevin, I bought a Panasonic Digital camcorder the other day, so if I get the nerve up, I might just show you guys what a newbie I really am!! :icon_mrgreen:

SWEET, cant wait for that, I think I am going to do comfortably numb.

Love the song "Comfortably Numb." I don't think the basic rhythms are all that difficult, either. Of course, I could be wrong once I try to duplicate them!

I don't think its to bad, I do know it is really fun.

Here is a new one for ya, this one was so hard to play, it is not perfect, but I am very happy with the end result, hope you like.

Right on man, can't wait to see it.

how do i send the myspace webpage without it saying type in a password,

what do you mean?

hey PD, when you put the file on myspace, what format is the file in? is it in movemkaer fortmat or something else? mine isnt uploading..

hey PD, when you put the file on myspace, what format is the file in? is it in movemkaer fortmat or something else? mine isnt uploading..

I make mine wmv, it uploads easy and the fastest.

well when i copy the link from myspace, i can see it, but thats because im logged in, but outsides cant see it because it says "requires a password" so is there like a public link?

Go to edit your video and make sure the public viewing is checked so everyone can see, then you should be ok.

k ill try it

cool

one more Q, how did u convert it to WMV

I think that is just automatically what it converts it to, I did not do anything to change it or anything.
when you are done making your video, got it all sync'd up, just go to save to computer, make sure it is below 90 megabits, and let it do its thing, and you should be good to go.

nice. it worked thanks man, oh and btw, i did some crazy stuff trying to get this work, i had to record myself playing to this song twice and it was a big smoooz, lol so some of isnt quite right when you look at it, but that is my drums playing when you hear the music.

Here is the pattern, enjoy.

It's basically a compound time signature of 17/8 (5/8 + 5/8 + 7/8) and over the top of that he plays quarter note accents on the hi hat.

K = kick drum
S = Snare drum
- = rest

this is the pattern that the kick and snare play

K K - S - K K - S - K K - K - S -

Good drumming. Siple song but you did it well. I would have liked it even more if that wasnt such a terrible song.

Nice job, Lafirin! I noticed that you set the video camera so that we could see any "drummer faces." :icon_wink: I think that would be a fun song for me to try, too, but then I suppose "Highway To Hell" just wouldn't be right somehow! :icon_mrgreen:

Not bad at all man, a few timing issues, but not bad man, keep it up.

A lot of timing issues. Very sloppy.

A lot of timing issues. Very sloppy.

hey it wasnt that bad. i seen much much worse, who thought they were the best alive.

Good drumming vinny!
Only the timing issues and you will be much better!:)

i finaly got my dad to let me use his camera, the sound quality sucks so hard core. it makes my cymbals sound like pie plates and you can hardly hear the kick or snares. but its still my playing, its kind of like an iprov solo, but its mostly random beats. oh and please excuse the dess close i have to work in a hour or so.
http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x43/loki_king/?action=view&current=P9120146.flv

That sound quality reminds me of a video I posted ages ago that I recorded with my mobile phone. That link is probably still on this forum somewhere. That was dodgy quality though, even worse than yours thanks very much to bad video quality and syncing and stuff aswell. Oh well, it was a bit of fun. Still haven't managed to re-record it with a real camera - man i'm lazy.

Anway, good job to everyone who is posting videos

Not bad drummerdavie, you really like to choke that cymbal alot, nice playing man, clean it up a bit and your set.

thanks PB, yea well it aint quit my kinda music, but its easy, id say try any back and back album.. although i found some tiny things can get weird in there songs, but basicly the beats are more then easy. its just when they stop and stuff it can get weird, i dunno i cant explain it just try em out when ur ready!

Not bad drummerdavie, you really like to choke that cymbal alot, nice playing man, clean it up a bit and your set.

thanks kev, and ya the sound of that cymbal makes me ashamed, so i choke it, allmost all the time. next one i post will be of an actual planed thing not just spur of the moment. so it should be a lot cleaner. i kinda suck at improv solos.(justincaseyoucouldnttell)

Vinny, I'm with Kevin. Nice job. I bit unevenn in spots, but it is obvious that it is a work in progress, so keep going, and I'll look ofrward to more vids from you!

DD, nice vid. I am curious why you chose to choke the cymbals each time, instead of letting them ring out. It seemed backward to choke the crash, and let the hi-hat ring out. I'm just curious. (Oops, just read your last post. Must have missed it before. Nevermind!)

I think you did a credible job DD. You were stretching yourself. It will only get better! :ok: :nod:

Thanks. I know the timing was off during the first half of the vid. Other than that im quite proud of it.

thanks pb, and ya that cymbal has the most horid decay this world will ever know.

Thanks. I know the timing was off during the first half of the vid. Other than that im quite proud of it.

You should be proud. You put a video out in front of us for critique. That takes guts, dude! I haven't done it yet (had to send my new video out for repair), so I imagine there's a bit of nervousness involve, too. :shifty:

thanks pb, and ya that cymbal has the most horid decay this world will ever know.

Don't worry about the cymbals, because we all understand not having the perfect set. Next time just go with it, and have a good time! :drumset-3:

I suck at improv solos as well, but I thought yours was pretty good, I just thought is was cool how much you choke your cymbal, keep rockin man, sounds great.

Lafirin, as soon as I get my video camera fixed (it's under warrenty, so it has to go to Illinois), I promise that I will do everything I can to get a video up, as long as everyone remembers that I've only been playing for 5 1/2 months! My playing is basic, but I feel like I'm getting it!

I'm sure you are WAY better than me and I've been playing the same amount of time........ I've only been on an actual kit for about a month now but I'm sure you are much better than me.

DC, I would bet that the difference between us is the perception of our drumming. I perceive that I am progressing with my drumming, and that makes me happy. Your perceive that you are not yet where you want to be, so you seem to downplay your talent.

You also have a drummer hubby, so you might even be subconsciously comparing yourself to him; wanting to impress him. I don't have that pressure. I just pleasing me (and doing a pretty darn good job, too :icon_mrgreen: ), and trying to have a good time.

Don't worry too much about the destination, just try to find enjoyment in the journey!

I agree with you totally except for one thing...... My hubby doesn't play the drums LOL He sings and plays the bass..... If I compared myself to him I'd be the best drummer in the world LOL (My husband sucks at the drums LOL).

Oh, well that's different. Never mind (think Gilda Radner's Emily Littella character here)!

I'm sure you're still carrying the burden of trying to impress him. I have only my mom here. She's staying with me while she recovers from hip replacement surgery. Impressing a mom is about the easiest thing in the world! If I just manage to hit the drums, she thinks I'm the greatest drummer of all time!

That's probably one of the sweetest things I've ever heard. I can just picture you playing for your mom and her grinning from ear to ear....... So sweet!

Yeah, I've got a pretty good mom!

thats awsome that your getting it! just keep praticing and ull see more and more awsome fruits that come of it. drumming is so rewarding... why is drumming to awsome? lol:icon_mrgreen:

I wish everyone would stop worrying about how good they are, because the reason to post the videos is to get better, get feedback, and learn from one another, I absolutely love it, can you tell lol.
So come on everybody lets see them.

Here is a new one I just did, I am using traditional grip on half of this video, I still suck at it alot, but I need your imput on what I can do better with this, I felt like there are some good things going on in here though, so have a look and feed me your knowledge drum chat.

http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=18057861

OH BTW if you crank up your volume you will hear what I am saying at the beginning.

well i cant help you with traditonal grip, i just discoverd i play a left hand trad grip. but with this solo theres one part that i dont enjoym its an awesome solos untill you switch back to matching grip then you drop the sturcture you had set up, it kinda felt like you were just liks now what, and hit things randomly. the entire rest of the solo was amazing, and i love the things you do with your ride.

Your trad grip looks fine to me. The only thing i would say is that you try and use a bit more thumb and a bit less fingers. The only way of reaching high speeds with trad grip is to fully let the stick go.

A good exersize to practice this is to put the stick in your fulcrum, (In the web of your hand between thumb and the poiinterfinger.) and completely let go with your fingers and just use the thumb. Try to make the sick bounce so you only have to push down and not have to think about pulling up.

Good vid by the way.

Cool, I am working on that, thanks man

my bassist has a nice camera so he decided to film a warmed up improv solo for me (hes the voice at the end.) but hear is a better video

http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x43/loki_king/?action=view&current=Picture349.flv

DD, you've got some good speed, my friend! I would suggest one thing for your solo, though. Try to find a way to blend from one tempo to another. the abrupt change in tempo makes things feel a bit choppy. If you can find the pocket, go out to play the fills, and then come back to the pocket before going into more fills, even if you have changed tempo somewhat as you go in and out of the pocket, I think you will have smoother transitions thoughout your solo.

All in all, though, pretty cool, DD! Thanks for sharing your drumming!

thanks pd. that sould help ive been working on general transitions, but im used to dramatic pauses then going to a different beat, so there hard for me but soon i will have them down. and thanks again

You definetly got great grooves down, but I suggest just like PB stated, work on transitions, and you got to love those Wuhans chinas, keep jammin man, you sounded great.
BTW awesome drumset pdp drums rock:punk:

So I have a camera but I not very good at using it and can't get it off the night vision setting. But anyways I recorded somethings of me just messing around the sound quality is bad but I'll try to post something.

i am not gonna lie pdplayer/kevin, you are freaking beast, i wish i could come up with stuff like that just messing around, it usually justs sounds terrible when i try, but sometimes its mediocre

It should just be a simple on or off switch, anyway if you can show me a picture I could probably help you out.

My sisters camera that shes using for her photography course.It's a fuji finepix s9600 if that means anything to you. Me and the band guitarist/singer have just bought a new set of drum mics that cost a couple of hundred quid, so hopefully ill be using them for my next video.:shifty:

Your trad grip looks fine to me. The only thing i would say is that you try and use a bit more thumb and a bit less fingers. The only way of reaching high speeds with trad grip is to fully let the stick go.

A good exersize to practice this is to put the stick in your fulcrum, (In the web of your hand between thumb and the poiinterfinger.) and completely let go with your fingers and just use the thumb. Try to make the sick bounce so you only have to push down and not have to think about pulling up.

Good vid by the way.


Did you ever do anything more with your traditional grip?

OK, let's see if I can get this vid posted. I uploaded it to my MySpace site, so here is the link to the video. I'm not playing to any music, just jammin' on the drums. Let me know what you think, but be gentle because i've only been playing for 6 1/2 months now.

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.myvideos&ipstr=68.53.42.20&view_by=2 (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=141185695)

Nah, didn't work PB.......

it didnt work pb

I changed it so that anyone can view it. Maybe that was the problem. If not, I guess I'll have to get some coaching on posting vids, and try again.

OK, sorry! I guess I need some coach on posting a video. :help: Anybody!!

BTW, I can see it. I don't know what's wrong with you guys!! :icon_mrgreen:

I don't do MySpace so I can't help ya. If worse comes to worse, PastorBob, email me the vid and I'll put it on my webpage and post the link if it's not too many MB's. My webpage only holds so much.

OK, let's try this.

Remember I've only been playing for 6 1/2 month, so be kind!!!

Nice one Bob! You really got the basics down great! I reckon you need to work on you fills though.

Absolutely amazing Bob, excellent timing, smooth fills, and your drums sound great, you are doing great, keep it up my friend.

Awesome PB! What cymbals are you using? and thats a really nice kit!

Vinny, PDPlayer, and Andreew, thanks for the kind words. It was much harder than I thought to put that video on here! Now that I have, I see what you are talking about with this thread, Kevin. For all the advice that we share on here, I can see that the best comes from the constructive criticism that we can offer one another. Vinny, you are right that I need to work on fills. All I have to offer is the single stroke rolls, and I will indeed work on other fills.

Andreee, I am using A ZBT 20" ride, a ZBT 14" crash, ZBT 14" hi-hats, a Wuhan 12" splash, a Zildjian A Custom 16" crash, and a Wuhan 18" china.

Good job nice timing in and out on time. You can start using the drums with your preaching to accent points. LOL Work on single stroke rolls just RLRLRL and LLLLLLLLLL RRRRRRRRRR and so on faster and faster but only as fast as you can do cleanly. Do you have a metronome ? If so use it if not pick one up.

Thanks for pat on the back, 2slow, and thanks for direction on where I should be going next. I do have a metronome, I know I should use it more. I will.

nice work pb.

This is a vid of me playing drums to a song by Plan B. I reckoned it would be fun to do this track cos it didn't have any drums in it origenally.
Hope You like it! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=69PlOjJsBm0

Note: My CD player stopped about 3 times, other than that im quite happy overall.

^ nice drumming and nice shirt!

WOW PB, I am impressed!!!!!! You're timing is great....... Now I know I'm not posting a video any time soon.... Great PB, really great... Keep at it, remember 5 years PB, 5 years!!!!! LOL

Good job Vinny!!!

And DC, I'm not letting you off that easy. It was a bit scary to put it out there, but I did it. Your turn! I'm sure your video would be awesome! As you said, remember, 5 years!!

Awesome job Pdplayer! Your drumming rocks..

This thread inspired me to throw something up here really quick!

Very cool, XJ99. I'm no expert on hand drums, but it sure sounded good to me. I especially like how you got them to sound like a dog barking at the end!!! :icon_mrgreen: Way to go, bro.!

Well I started to make a video yesterday, I figured I’d give it a shot but the sound was really horrible, you can hear me play but you can also hear my sticks hit the electronic pads and it sounds like crap.,,,,,,, Any suggestions?

DC, if you're using a digital camcarder, is there a way to send the video and an audio feed from your kit controller (whatever you call it on an e-kit) directly to the computer. You might synch the video and audio as a post production.

That was awesome! I've got no experience with hand drums, but that one sounded very good from a non-hand drummer's point of view.

Hey guys, its great watching everyone's videos! Really good job on all of them. Laf, DD, Jimbo, XJ, PDP, Vinny..its inspiring stuff guys!

PB, great job, very neat and tight and progressing very well for 6.5 months. You should be proud of where you are. Keep it up buddy

Well when I "let it all come out" my husband and daughter ususally ask me to stop playing LOL My husband was actually caught in the act of attempting to strangle me today while I was playing LOL

Nice! I think the dog liked it too..... :icon_mrgreen:



Yeah, my little begal is pretty loud isn't she? LOL

Thanks LW!! I certainly appreciate the encouragement!

DC, I'm excited that you might be posting a vid soon! I have no doubt that it will be good! Remember, you and I are on the 5 year plan!!! We don't have to be perfect yet. We've got 4 1/2 more years to accomplish perfection!! :icon_mrgreen:

I'm glad you and Kev are excited, I am nervous.... I'll probably record myself and laugh the whole time.... I am a bit of a giggler LOL

Wow, drumming and giggling at the same time! Now that would be talent!!!! :icon_lol:

Wow, drumming and giggling at the same time! Now that would be talent!!!! :icon_lol:

I do it everyday! Especially when my sticks go flying across the room..... :icon_lol:

I am nervous....


So was I!!!! :shifty: Then I thought, "what's the worst that can happen?" :icon_cool:

Well....I could have broken wind in the middle of my drumming!!!! LOL (saw another pastor do that on a vid)

ive done that just hit the bass with a hard excent to cover up the bad ax sent :)

Lol

Nice job, pastor bob, I think that's great for 6½ months.

Thanks Toad, I appreciate the feedback - especially the encouraging kind!!

excellent job pb.

Yeah, my little begal is pretty loud isn't she? LOL

Heh, I have a beagle too. He seems fine with my drum kit, but as soon as I start playing my djembe or bongos he flips out. I wonder if all beagles have issues with hand drums. :icon_mrgreen:

ROFLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Corky. I think PDPlayer had a good idea here. I may not be Neil Peart quality, but it is nice to get the encouragement of everyone around here. It certainly makes you want to get better, when you know you're on the right track.

LOL, actually my son came in from playing outside. Anytime we come home or someone knocks on the door, the dog has to sound off. :icon_mrgreen:

See I told you guys it's fun and very valuable, I can't even tell you how much it has helped me, I am a much better player simply just by putting my videos up and having you all critique it, and above that it is really fun.

Yeah, mine does that too, wakes my wife up every night when I come home from work. It's a pain... but I love him enough that I'm getting him a little girlfriend this Friday!

You rock, Kevin!

heres my vid lol, tell me what you think. i wanted to start off easy
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=17458840

when you play along with a song like that do you find music that dont have the drums or are you just playing along with the drums in the music?

Your drumming will overpower the drums on the record. Furthermore he needs to hear the drums on the song while he's playing. But I might be full of hot air, I never used a drumless song.

lol I wrote this big thing about how I do it then I deleted it and just threw my 2 cents in on what you asked Lafirin.

when you play along with a song like that do you find music that dont have the drums or are you just playing along with the drums in the music?

I think its a lot of fun playing to drumless stuff but its a bit easyer staying in time if you play to a track with drums.

yea its with the track

Anymore vids guys? havent seen anything up here lately.

I prefer to play to drumless songs so then you could put your own beats and creativity to the song. Playing along to songs with drums is really cool too because it gives you an idea if you are on the right track or not!

I have recorded a couple of jam sessions but not sure the best way to put them up on here

Here is a new one for ya, this one was so hard to play, it is not perfect, but I am very happy with the end result, hope you like.

HALO by Porcupine tree

http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e307/delaserna2005/?action=view&current=vid002.flv

Do the toms generate that much tone normally or is it in the video quality?

I think its both <_< I suck at tuning.

Way to go Andreeew!!!! It's official! You've just played in public!! Now that it's out of the way, the sky's the limit dude!!

Haha thanks pastor_bob, I don't really consider this place public, its more of a family. If I wanted public, I would have uploaded it at Youtube LOL

Ok, I finally got my vids to upload with sound, so here are a few of me playing, first kit, then djembe. I have issues with tempo about halfway through the vid on kit, where I try to abruptly start another groove.... which ends up gradually speeding back up and becomes the original groove, but hey, it's fun nonetheless! Remember, I've only played Djembe for a year, and I've only played on a kit regularly for the last six months!

http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg148/kryshah/?action=view&current=Kit.flv

http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg148/kryshah/?action=view&current=Djembe.flv

I liked the kit video but i think you maybe overdid the cymbals and toms a little. The Djembe vid did not work for me. I couldnt view it.

Crap... if the djembe vid doesn't work for anyone else... let me know!

I like cymbals... and toms... lol, I didn't have anything in mind, I just sat down and hit stuff.... so lots of random came out, but thanks!

Man, I post a video, and no one has anything to say! I guess that speaks volumes eh?

KRY!!!!! I didn't see this post, I'm so sorry, you know I would have watched and commented! Great vids! I'm impressed...... WOW! I liked the rolls that you were doing on the kit, very nice! I need to watch it again :) Next time you have a video, make your own thread, when things are posted in here they seem to get lost in the shuffle.......

Andreeew, I just saw this for the first time too, sheesh I'm slacking I have to pay better attention! It was great to see a video of you! WTG Andreeew and like PB said, you've now played in public in front of a whole bunch of drummers! :punk: You're braver than me LOL

heres my vid lol, tell me what you think. i wanted to start off easy
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=17458840

I can't belive I missed this one too...... I feel bad :sad1: There are some great videos and they've been overlooked.... Sorry Laf, great drumming, you did awesome!

Missed this one too :sad1: Nice job vinny! Very nice timing and nice groove with the song..... :punk:

Man, I post a video, and no one has anything to say! I guess that speaks volumes eh?

Yea man I did not see it either, but I just watched them both, love your kit, you got them tuned nicely and you got some nice grooves man, very nice man.

Thanks guys! I really was just teasing... I was going to post the vids in their own thread, but thought it may seem a bit pretentious. I appreciate the comment on tuning PDP, I may not play as well as I'd like, but I can tune well enough. Sometime, we'll have to get Combatmed to come over to record a vid of his playing. He's a much heavier drummer than me, and can play the kit more fully than I. Sorry the sound quality is horrible by the way... no mics, just the camera.

here's my first ever vid. I'm a 6month old drummer so don't expect something good.

http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e307/delaserna2005/?action=view&current=vid002.flv

Didnt see it until now. Solid. Good for someone who has only been playing for 6months!

thanks for the compliment vinny! I'll try to post more vids to boost my self confidence(I have self esteem issues)

Andreeew, if you want to have better self-esteem, just remember one very important truth. We are all good at different things. I may be better than you at some things, and you will be better than me at others. Where we end up with self-esteem issues is when we compare our weaknesses against someone else's strengths. You will always be the best you that has ever been!

I think that you are a very kind, and gentle young man, with a strong sense of family. If that was all you ever became, you could be very proud of yourself. Anything you add to your life from there is just extra special! Don't let anyone tell you different.

damn thats one nice advice you got there. How do you come up with these? LOL anyway I'm thinking of making another vid, trying to get used to other people seeing me play

my bassist has a nice camera so he decided to film a warmed up improv solo for me (hes the voice at the end.) but hear is a better video

http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x43/loki_king/?action=view&current=Picture349.flv

nice video. lol forgit 2 press record. i did that to my friend once and he flipped out! lol

nice vids guys

I didn't realize how much posting a video opens you up. I'm excited to have everyone see them now, and every time I log on now, the first thing I do, is see if anyone has advice or comments about my playing!

I made another vid, its almost the same thing as the last one but I tried using double bass this time. I'm still working on my double bass though so they're kinda sloppy. Ill upload and post it later after lunch

Great videos everyone!

I might post one here in a few days when I get the chance!

Nice vids guys, here is an old one of me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YrbW6C5q2M

Nothing wrong with your feet there bro. Awesome stuff right there. I would post a vid but I cant get the audio and video to sync. That and the fact that I stink prevent me from doing so. :doh:

Beave, nice vid dude! You sounded good!

Kevin, I still like that vid man!

Ill post another vid of myself today or maybe tomorrow.

Andreeew, I just saw your newest video. Sorry, I thought all the talk was about the first one still. Cool vid, dude! You're coming along well!

Andreeew, I just saw your newest video. Sorry, I thought all the talk was about the first one still. Cool vid, dude! You're coming along well!

whoo hoo, I eagerly await

thanx to all who share video in here

whoo hoo, I eagerly await

Oh, dont get too exited. The sound is so bad you cant hear very well what is going on.

Well, here it is. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=42rbUwAetGk
You should all know that this was only the second time i heard the song and aloso that i could barely hear the song when i was paying.
Hope you like it!

Pretty cool Vinny! I like the syncopation in the groove!

Here is our feature song: Baphomet Bop (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unzAHoE8tbU) we got other videos up there too so check 'em out, I know I did and I loved 'em hahaha

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unzAHoE8tbU

Pastor-Bob: I like how you just non schlantly sit down on your thrown and play like it's just another day on the job :icon_lol:

I would love to post a video...but there's one problem. I don't even know anyone who own's one :think:

We have a 23 year old VHS recorder the size of a suitcase...but I don't think that will work too well. It hasn't been touched in over 15 years either...

ZD, nice solo dude!!

ATC, thanks. It always feels real comfortable to settle in behind the kit! I was also thinking that if you have a computer, you might be able to do what I did. I got a small Panasonic miniDV camcorder. I can record on the digital camcorder, and then download it to my computer. The camcorder wasn't too expensive, just around $150.

Just something to think about if you want to do videos. It works well for family stuff too! :icon_mrgreen:

ok, I have finally managed to make a small video. I must admit I am really nervous about putting it on here but I will give it a go. I will have it up in the next few hours

EDIT: actually about 8 hours lol

ZD, nice solo dude!!

Thanks for the tip!

Hmmmm...camcorder? Or a new A-Custom? :think: :think: I only have 2 crashes (14" & 16") and a 12" splash.

Cool LW, I'm looking forward to the vid!!

nice video ZD. but is that a ****tail set? i couldnt tell

Thanks for the tip!

Hmmmm...camcorder? Or a new A-Custom? :think: :think: I only have 2 crashes (14" & 16") and a 12" splash.

I certainly understand your dilemna ATC!!! Sounds like it's a matter of do you please us, or yourself!!

Ok here it goes. I would appreciate as much feedback as possible. All this is is a little groove with a bunch of thrown in fills. I slow tempo in the last ten seconds for some unknown reason.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9i7JS0eook

Very nice LW! Your movement around the kit is very fluid, and I like the variety in your fills. Great syncopation! Maybe a slight hesitaion in a couple of places, but overall, very good! You should be proud!

Here's me playing a gig last August.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzUVdCJdHIA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9BspRuiAfg

Please let me know about your feelings towards how my kit sounds in respect to both the quality of the instruments and the mix.

As for the mix I'll say the sound guy at that club wasn't the best. I think my HH's are a bit too loud while both my ride and my toms are a bit too soft. But as far as the mix goes I personally love the sound of my crashes and the snare. At this show I used my midnight fade pearl mmx maple custom kit but stripped down to a fusion set up. 22" bass, 10" tom, 12" tom, 14" floor tom and 14" mmx maple custom snare with a coated remo powerstroke 3 head on top that produced a great fat sound but left a little to be desired in the responsiveness. Evans 2 ply clear heads on top and evans 1 ply clear on bottom of the toms. Aquarian Superkick II on kick side and remo powerstroke 3 ebony on the front side of the bass. I used all the cymbals listed below in my profile except the dry reflector ride and the 18" crash....but in there place I added a 12" Zildjian splash and a 8" Zildjian K custom splash.

Great vids guys!

At this show I used my midnight fade pearl mmx maple custom kit but stripped down to a fusion set up. 22" bass, 10" tom, 12" tom, 14" floor tom and 14" mmx maple custom snare with a coated remo powerstroke 3 head on top that produced a great fat sound but left a little to be desired in the responsiveness. Evans 2 ply clear heads on top and evans 1 ply clear on bottom of the toms. Aquarian Superkick II on kick side and remo powerstroke 3 ebony on the front side of the bass. I used all the cymbals listed below in my profile except the dry reflector ride and the 18" crash....but in there place I added a 12" Zildjian splash and a 8" Zildjian K custom splash.

Foo Fighters - The Pretender.

Ok here it goes. I would appreciate as much feedback as possible. All this is is a little groove with a bunch of thrown in fills. I slow tempo in the last ten seconds for some unknown reason.

Awesome, just bought this CD!

Awesome videos guys.

Here is a new one I did today.

Well done Taylor!! That was funny about your dog! My cat never stays in the room when I drum. Of course, that might say something about my drumming!

Kevin, I could sit and listen to you drum all day long! Another outstanding video!

Not bad for the first video, mate! Sounds like you were comfortable behind your kit...I liked the groove, and you threw in some great fills...lookin' forward to the next one, livewire!

Good on ya!

Kev, is this the dude that you mentioned a while back, in which you said you got his vids and listened to them before playin' a response?

Awesome, man! You sound like the two of you have been rehearsin' together!

:punk:

Thanks again bob.

No, this is a new dude I met, we have never met face to face, we have actually never talked on the phone, just thru email, He contacted me because he was impressed with my playing, so he sent a me a few songs, I listened and well the rest is history, I love his music, so I agreed to lay down the drum tracks for his entire album, 12 songs in total, all as killer as this one, so I am very excited, and very honored that he chose me.

Thanks for the compliment man, much appreciated.

wow that was good kevin another incredible performance. i wish i could just listen to a track and be able to play along. just one little bit of constructive criticism if i may( you can just toss this out the window if you like its YOUR video and YOU have been playing a LOT longer than me) but like at the beginning not playing along to EVERY single note maybe if it was quiet at the beginning instead of you doing all the toms, and then like a big intro from you going into the main beat. do you get what im saying?

anyways nice video you get better each time

Wow LW, nice video. Nice beats! I really liked the beat and fill at :30, I'm gonna steal it and learn it :) Great job, well done friend :clap:

Thanks DC, I really appreciate the feedback and thanks for wanting to steal one of the fills :icon_mrgreen: it means you liked it

Thanks so much BB. I really appreciate the feedback. Getting feedback off fellow drummers (especially on here) goes a long way.

Thanks again

I certainly understand your dilemna ATC!!! Sounds like it's a matter of do you please us, or yourself!!

So...I bought the medium A-Custom on Saturday. $158 OTD...couldn't pass it up :icon_wink:

Aw, dude, that means we won't see a video any time soon - our loss! On the other hand, congrats on the new cymbal. :drumset-3:

I dont think ya'll want to see my play anyways. Im a little rusty after a 3 year "dry" spell :icon_lol:

Naaaaaa....I'll ask around and see what I can come up with. My friend has a digital camera that takes videos...but I would hate to hear the sound quality on it :sick:

Hey, no sweat, my digital camera doesn't do the greatest sound quality either. Of course, I'm not looking for studio quality at this point! LOL

My singer/guitar and my bassist needed some footage for a school video project. I decided to edit a version for youtube myself haha. We basically got my dv cam, set it up on a tripod, and rented out another dv cam from the school. I had my drum mics in, and their guitars plugged into the mixer. Then we basically just improvised and had fun. Turned out pretty cool.

I like the 3rd jam the most :listen:

Awesome job Taylor!!!! Oh, and nice drummer face! Way to mug for the camera! LOL

That was really cool man. I wish I had a couple of jam buddies like that. I could do that all day. Well done.

Your videos were great Taylor. Your band is really good as well!

Well, here's a video of me. I was messing around earlier today with this, and I kinda like it, haha. It's in 11... I count it as two groups of 3 and then one of 5. I think there are a few times in there when I add an extra beat accidentally. There are some timing errors as well, especially towards the end. I always get nervous in front of cameras. :shifty: Let me know what you think!

Nice video man, very well played.

Thanks guys... I appreciate the feedback!

Nice beat Zajn, well done!

Nicely done Zajn, and it's nice to see you back among us! Unless I missed something, it looked to me that all your bass beats came from a single pedal. Is that correct?

Very inspiring video!

Thanks... and yes, most of it came from a single pedal PB. Right near the end there is some double-kick playing in there that you might not be able to hear cause of the sound quality.

ok here are a couple of vids of mine, i hope you guys like them, the more i watch them there more i dont like em :(
iv had my kit for about a year now, hope you guys like em!

Cool M.Intent! Wild seeing the lighted sticks in the dark!! The only suggestion that I have is not to forget that you can use the toms too. It will break up the continuous cymbal sound. Otherwise, it was a solid effort!

BTW, it's good to see you back at Drum Chat!

Nice double bass work! I'm nowhere near that fast other than my tripplets...

Thanks ATC :) well my triplets suck now haha

And thanks paster bob, them sticks are weird as hell to play with, feels like they flop all over the place! will work on the tom advice :)

its good to be back, hopefully i wont be having internet problem gallore again! i hope to stay back :D
