Just me goofing around

[Zwielicht]

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum and I figured the best way to introduce myself here would be to show a little of what I do. I play on a YamahDTXplorer these days, living in an apartment and all, but at home I have my old Pearl 4-piece with two crashes both busted/cracked up to where they sound like horrible china's haha. I don't play that set enough to invest any money in it so yeah. I've played since I was 12, but haven't been able to play much the last few years (I'm 24 now) living in apartments until I got an electronic set a few months ago. It's been so much fun getting my skills back up to where they were in my prime at the end of high school when I was playing in two bands (punk and then funk/jazz) haha...and of course rediscovering all those old grooves I hadn't played in years!

Jamming along to a funk track from Tommy Igoe's Groove Essentials 2.0: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekSMPj8Wg3g"]YouTube- Funk Off[/ame]

A more straightforward rock jam played along to my guitar part:

Just working on a syncopated sextuplet fill of mine, it's a little tricky to keep those double strokes on the right hand on the 3 and 4 as even as those on my left hand but I'm getting there:

Any constructive criticism is appreciated, of course.

Sounded good.

I think you might want to bring up the brightness just a bit. Hard to see you in the dim lighting.
