I know, I know! I take long breaks, and I apologize for it!

I totally forgot to include the drum solo! Don't know where my head's at today. Drum solo starts around 1:15:

Hey everyone,

I know, I take long long breaks from DC sometimes. Life gets busy, what can I say??

ANYWAYS.

I've posted videos of this group before so this is kind of more of the same, but...

Well played man, although I found it a little hard to hear the song, came through as mostly drums. The drums were nice though, so I guess I shouldn't be complaining!

Nicely done!

As always, the fluidity of your traditional grip makes me jealous. Why the switch to Ebonys, just trying 'em out or do you have a specific reason?

Sounding good Bish!

There are a ton of great ones, it depends on what you're looking for. Steve Jordan's "The Groove Is Here" has a lot of really amazing information about feel and time, if you do any studio work I...

I love Mark Guiliana. He's an off-the-wall genius. I saw him play at the Blue Whale in LA, and the control he had over his drum's sound was remarkable - just with his hands alone, but also he would...

lol

this is why we need you Rick

It's true that there aren't that many female drummers, but I couldn't say why. A have a few female friends that are out there gigging, but no where near as many as my male friends.

One female...

You're not kidding, those are mostly train pics.

It occured to me that I would love to connect with all my fellow DC'ers on Instagram and check out all the hundreds of pics of drums that I assume they have posted. I'm @bringerofthud on Instagram,...

I'm not sure that Gretsch drums are serialized, off the top of my head. They may not have a serial number at all.

Thanks everyone!

Maybe I'm behind the times on this but I think this video is new, Evans posted it on their Facebook only about a week ago. It's Udo Masshoff's snare drum tuning method, and it's COMPLETELY INSANE....

Sounds like it may be time to get a rehearsal lockout. I've lived in apartments for a long time, and honestly if I didn't have a monthly lockout to go to to practice I would have lost my mind by now....

Very nice!

Hey guys,

I'm back! It's been a while. (Things have been crazy. Shows, new job, moving, getting married...you know.)

ANYWAYS

Here are a few more videos of that Amy Winehouse tribute band...

I 100% agree with you. But if I have a beginning drummer, I always teach them that as far as technique is concerned, to start with the wrists first and then the fingers second. The reason being that...

I checked out a couple of live videos of them playing that song, and I think I know why the people playing covers are playing that 16th notes with one hand. The sound of the high-hat patterns has...

Develop the wrists first. In the process of developing wrist speed and control (i.e. all the major rudiments at various tempos with consistent tone and volume) develops a whole set of very...

Man, most of the time that I've seen someone using a snare that deep they end up putting marching kevlar heads on them, like Falams II or Black Max, something like that. I'm not sure how that would...
