    Default OMG my kit shrunk, New Video.

    Hello Drum Chat Buddies,

    I shrunk my kit down to a very comfortable 4pc(just not enough room for the bigger set-up), with just a couple cymbals, and in the process I was able to do a little better micing on my kit.

    I am not a huge Hoobastank fan, but they do have a few really good songs, and The Reason is certainly one of them. The lyrics are simply amazing and really strike a cord with me.

    Obviously the drum part is very simple in this song, just a very straight forward 4/4, but I spiced up the groove a little, I spiced up the kick drum quite a bit and added quite a few more beats, instead of that boring 4/4 beat. Added some better fills(IMO)and just made the song groove a little better(again IMO).

    It was perfect the way it was originally played, but I felt it needed a little extra groove to it, so once again I played it the way I felt, hope you like it.

    Very cool man, thanks for posting that!

    I am not a huge fan of hoobastank as a whole, but The Reason is a great song.....

    My band has added that to our song list, and we are performing it at our next gig in February....love that song.....I found myself spicing it up as well...

    Thanks man.

    Yea there is only about a handful of songs I like of there's, but this song is one of my all time fav's.

    the song is begging for some spice behind the kit, the original drum beat is just so boring and straight forward its rediculous, have fun with it man.

    Thanks man.

    Yea ya know I go down to a 4pc, then I miss my bigger set-up, but then I go back to the 4pc, the 4pc set-up just feels so good, and takes up a lot less room lol, but my bigger set-up looks so cool, although the 4pc looks really classy I'm retarded lol.

    Kev, Kev, Kev.... After you wash the kit, you have to dry it on LOW heat, otherwise it'll shrink like a cheap concert T.......

    Dude, you know we all love your vids, they're always very solid, and I dig what you did to the song. The drink holder and pop up comments were funny, too.

    Like the ghost notes there.


    As for the cover in general, I really like it. It has a sweet sound and the grove has a nice rhythm to it.

    Cool Re: OMG my kit shrunk, New Video.

    Kev...you KNOW you never put shrinkable items in the hot-wash cycle, much less into the dryer!

    Bro', you have just proven a point I've made for years--a great drummer can make a 4-piece kit sound like a bigger kit!

    No matter what size kit you're rockin', YOU ROCK!
    keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!

    I like how you were able to stay in the pocket with the simple groove he has going on and still able to add some good fills and such without it being too out there! BTW, I now have my own mixer...so if I can figure out how to do this kind of stuff I will try to post some covers sometime soon I hope!

    So what was with shrinking you kit down, did you move, or just wanted to try something else?
