[DWdrumr]

Whats up Drumchatters?

I flipped on the camera and this is what came out, hope you all like it. There is some pretty cool stuff in here, and a few blunders as well, anyway hope you all dig it.

BTW I set-up my kit differently AGAIN lol, and just felt like laying something down.

Nice dude, lovin the part at around 3:00 with that big fill. Good work.

[Andreeew]

that was awesome

[CycleDude]

Love it dude! The break at 4:20 is awesome.

Shall we all start calling you Neil?

[Riouel]

good job again brother

[Beetbox]

Great job I loved it btw im learning quads (thats what my drum teacher called them) and you play them a lot at 3:00 got any pointers to help me learn them?

[CycleDude]

Quads are fun as hell. RH LH RF LF.... repeat endlessly for rumbling thunder! Once you get that down, mix it up. I like to alternate leading hands so it would be RH LH RF LF then LH RH RF LF.

[jydg21]

I am considering removing this video. After watching it a few times, it is really sloppy. Honestly what do you guys think? I think I need to remove it, because I know I can do better. But I am not a solo drummer, so I might just forget all together about posting solo type vids, because I suck at them.

Leave it. I'm not agreeing that your solos suck but I'm in the same boat. Not a soloist but most stuff I put up is just me trying to show how a kit sounds. I should know better...

[Larrysperf]

you dont suck never will but that 8 tom just jumps out all the time lol
I really enjoyed it and love your tom sound ,well all your drums Dont ever stop doing both videos
You know I will get on your case lol
So keep up the great work. Nuff Said

Thanks Larry.

[Larrysperf]

Thanks Larry.

also glad you are puting your kit back with all its drums lol

OMG, Kevin!! Your'e right...better trash this vid and start over again. I mean, really, saying that it was sloppy is much to kind. Had enough? The problem, my young friend, is two fold: 1. you expect a great deal from yourself and, 2. You're to close to be objective. At the 2:30 mark you went into an accented pattern snare pattern against straight 16th's on your bass. That was nicely done. If it seemed sloppy to you it's because you were doing it hand-to-hand and it got a little heavy sounding. I use that same sticking pattern quite often but, will vary it by using RH Swiss Triplet and then switch over to RLLR LLRL LRLL RLRR | LRRL RRLR RLRR LRLL. You get quite an effect by using the Swiss triplets around the toms and The off-set paradiddle patterns make a great visual as you play the single stroke accent. Then, at 3:16 you went into off-beat triplet LH pattern against the time keeping of the RH on the ride.
You might not even be totally aware of what you did but it was damn good! Kevin, you are an instinctive player and you use that well. Everything you do is for a reason and you utilize the kit to make transitions from one train of thought to another. It's never boring to watch and listen to you play.

[Tazmania]

No way do not remove, you give us something to aspire toward.

[RHD03]

Very cool bro! Great chops, and some pretty sick licks in there!

Don't worry about the minor stuff...it happens when we jam out and experiment!

I thought it was great!! But then again...we don't expect anything less from your vids Kev!

[Johnny G]

Dude, I have never played a solo that I liked. Not in over 30 years. We are all too hard on ourselves. That's because we want to improve!! You have the bug, my brother! Embrace it and prepare for a lifetime of self deprecation. I think I spelled that right.
Frank said it most completely. There is some brilliant stuff in that solo, and a few 'clunkers', I guess. I mean to say that I could see how you would find a few moments sloppy, but for the rest of us, obviously from the posts, you play, man. You play with power and enthusiasm and imagination. As on 'old' guy, you inspire me. I find most young drummers satisfied with keeping a 4/4 groove and having a vocabulary of about 10-15 fill phrases. You have obviously fallen in love with your instrument. Those girl's will treat you better than any lover or dog, too, IMHO. Sweet kit,btw. And that ride!!

Shoot, I put up a vid with a spaz-out-stick-drop!

Peace and rhythm.

Oh, if you don't mind, how old are you and how long you been smackin em? I'm a little new around here.

Thanks man. I am very hard on myself, But I am am getting better at giving myself a little credit lol. I appreciate you telling me what I did in that video, because to be very honest I don't have a clue what I am doing, I don't know all the technical elements involved, so it is kind of nice to know what I did, I think that may be some of my issue's, so thanks man.

Thank you Taz.

Thanks man I really appreciate it.

I have been playing for, well going on 7 yrs now, 2.5 yrs solid, and the rest was choppy, played, then quit for a couple years, picked the sticks back up for a year and then sold my kit and got married, then got the bug again and haven't looked back, I am more hooked and in love with playing more than ever, I will never stop playing now.

[DWdrumr]

My sentimental side is going to come out again, because I just want to once again say THANK YOU to all of you, for lifting me up and encouraging me, I can't express to you how much that means to me, it has pushed me to be a better player.

I am going to shut up and go bang them skins now.

[fiacovaz]

You're a fine player, Kevin. BTW, as I listened to the vid, I kept thinking how terrific that ride cymbal sounded. Man, I love the sound of your drums and cymbals.

[ratmycue]

That is a fantastic sounding kit man, Right from the snare thru to the floor tom. beauty.The cymbals really compliment the drums too, loved the splash ride and the ozone. top marks to the audio. The playing is solid and gives the listener a nice solid melodic foundation and pulse.
Dont you dare remove this vid man.
we are our own worst critics and you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of here . seriously.

[CycleDude]

I'm with the others Kev, leave the vid up. In fact, I think I'm gonna watch it again... LOL!

[itchie]

amazing sound for a youtue video!

[drumrbychoice]
