Oh geez, I remember listening to that in really bad clubs. 'scuse me whilst I go vomit.
GET YOURSELF PROMOTERS.
I can't stress this enough, we put on a gig in September and managed to sell it out because me and my friend were sooooooo energetic, we flyered literally anyone who looked...
got my first kit on my 15th birthday in 2006. it took up my life for 3 years, just waiting for it to jump out and take it over again :D
The album cover is probably the most beautifully awesome thing I've seen all day. It's like it was drawn by a materialistic five year old that had drank ten cans of Relentless and broken into the...
I actually did an exam earlier this year on identity and subculture, I got to write about the mods and rockers from a Marxist/Semiological perspective. The origins of mods and rockers is really...
Erm, 'Mind Riot' by Soundgarden (he sounds like he has about 6 limbs on that track), 'Pretty Noose' by the same band, 'Dumpweed' by blink-182 because Travis is AMAZING.
:D
Cheers guys! I did have pads living in halls, but it wasn't the same without a kit. I spent the year getting amazing on bass, now got myself an acoustic and I'm doing a lot of...
Cheers guys. Erm, it's not to do with the evenness, it's mainly speed and power that I'm lacking; I used to be able to play very quickly and very powerfully, but I need to train my arms up again (my...
Avast! It's been a while, how's everyone doing?
I've had a pretty eventful year, so now I'm deciding it's time to get back on track with what I do best; hitting stuff in a musical manner. In fact,...
It's better than nothing, by all accounts...
I remember there was an article/study with Clem Burke in a while ago, where they monitored his calorie loss over a 2 hour gig. He lost as many calories...
the only shoes that i can drum in that are *almost* as playable as barefoot are converse.

Listen. Weep.
Surely every article in that magazine would just have the words 'GET A DIVORCE' scrawled underneath it about a hundred times?
With those kinda riffs (CONSTANT BUZZSAW CRUNCHHHHHH), there usually isn't a lot of space to groove, so don't worry too much about it. You could try going even faster on your drum parts, and do...
The Halo-theme gregorian chant is amazing. I love this <3
Ah, don't worry. If you get it, everything's gonna be awesome; if not, you won't be any worse off, so long as you don't succumb to the dreadful realm of 'what could've been'. Hoping you all the best...
I play matched, but about a year ago, whenever I'm doing driving snare shuffles/grooves, my left hand just instinctively went into trad mode. Perhaps it's because I practice off the kit with trad a...
You legend. That was the first Zeppelin song I remember nailing, and although it's not that difficult, it has a beautiful feel. I think the drums are really melodic in that.
Anyway, I just keep...
lurking somewhere in the North East of England, forever on trains between York and Leeds.
can't have bacon, gone veggie. sorry guys. bacon sucked anyway.
I only do heel down when I'm doing single bass drum triplets, and only then because I start in heel up and have to somehow do a moeller movement with my feet to get all three hits. The joys of being...
Eh, you'll improve so long as you stick at it. Like, I just used to do 40 minutes of going downstairs, turning the TV on and watching something whilst I beat the crap outta my mum's cushions. She...
we were all at that point you're at now, once upon a time. the joy and discovery of drumming is when you crack at a track for weeks and then it all clicks. bit by bit, that period of getting it comes...
just start off by doing simple 16th note fills. your right hand will still be keeping time, you just throw in your left hand and move it round the kit or whatever. get good at that, speed it up, add...
