    Default Drum cam footage from last night's gig

    Heya guys, here's some drum cam footage of me playing some songs from a gig last night. There are two drummers in the band, and we both switch between drums & percussion depending on the song, but here are the songs I play drums on. The first video is our original song Tribal Dracula aka Close Your Eyes:



    The next one is our version of The Beatles' Eleanor Rigby:



    Doobie Bros, Long Train Running. This song was to close the set:



    But then we pulled this song out which we haven't played in a little while for an encore. The Meter's version of Come Together:

    Great band, and great playing! I played Long train Running in my first band, back when I was a teen, and it was killing me that you were not going to the ride cymbal after each verse! I find people don't use the ride enough today!

    Yeah the ride will probably sound better in certain sections. I'll keep that in mind the next time we play it.

    Yeah they're really nice. This was a gig we did at a local bar to finish off our music course, so I'm borrowing the school's cymbals and drums. The cymbals are:

    10" Meinl Byzance Traditional Splash (mine)
    14" Sabian HHX Click Hats
    16" Zildjian K Custom Dark Crash
    16" Zildjian A Custom China
    17" Sabian HHX Legacy Crash
    20" Zildjian K Constantinople Medium Ride

    The drums are Tama Superstars - 12, 16, 22, 14x5.5

    Great job, those hats do sound very nice, but I think part of that that may be your playing as well nice and articulate. I agree with going to the ride on Long train but it still works very well the way you did it. That tribal song was very cool too.

    Decide whether this is love for the craft or simply an ego thing

    Love how the tribal beat becomes a sort of shuffle in the first one. Nice.
    My son (bass) and I play all three of the other songs with guitar friends that come to open jams that I host. So cool to hear another band do them slightly different. Esp the Beatles song. We tend to rock that one really hard and take it up a notch in tempo, too.
    All in all, you played very well. Tight with the band and steady meter; name of the game, man.
    Totally agree on the ride/bell for the chorus of Long Train, btw. Almost every late 70's-80's song requires hats on the verse and ride on the chorus. That was the formula then. Releases a little of the tension when you switch. Adds a little excitement to the chorus, too.
    Just one old fart's opinion.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I think I love to play the drums simply because you get to hit 'em!!!

    Or you could rip the very soul out of the song and use a drum machine!
