I really enjoy watching and practicing on your videos every time you post one, i think you are a great teacher and you always have good ideas for patterns and special effects. Thank you!
Im a guitarplayer not a drummer and I love watching this guy play. Hes kinda goofey but hes an excellent teacher and really takes the time to explain things which many good musicians dont do.
Thanks Randy - and keep talking! That's what makes RVP vids so enjoyable. and as for wimpy... It's just a shame there are so many keyboard guerillas eh? They're always so much better at things than we are ;)
Very nice lesson. I think I would end up whacking my left wrist with my right stick doing that crossover to the upper tom though. It looks like the stick just goes right through your arm from that angle. Your speed is also very impressive.
The intro at 0:00 sounded like "Iko, Iko" by The Belle Stars. Thought I was watching "Rain Man" for a second. LoL. Seriously, thanks for the lesson. I will try that later.
THE thing I do love about watching your vids is that your not a pompass or boreing drummer, you do ocasionally f*** up which show the rest of us that your human....hehehe. wish I could of got lessons offa u when i was younger.....awsome mein keep skin smackiin!!!!!
For those of you in the Tampa Bay area I will be filling in on Drums with Fat Clemenza this Saturday night the 3rd at: Mojo's Wings, Burgers, & Beer 1853 E. Memorial Blvd., Lakeland, FL, 33801 Check it out. We'll see if I remember half their tunes. RVP
@realSteak86 Actually I am wearing earplugs in this video. Look closely. They are skin color but a bit off of my color. When I was younger I made the mistake of not wearing them much while playing. Yes I have some damage to my hearing. I always wear them now. RVP
i did this with my snare and hihat once and saw some guy do it and was told is was by mike portnoy... i thought i made it up :) its fun to play on hihat too.. try it out
Try to put the thing on thats write down what he says at the start there stands: By tonight and that you advance drumming here in the fall agian that the cigarret are little. And great video btw. :)
You are doing an excellent work. I enjoy watching your videos so much, especially the "high hat stomp" vid was really, really awesome! :-) I also like your way of teaching. Its funny, but informative as well! Anyway, i have just spotted that you dont use earplugs during your vids. Do you put on some ear protection during practice? 'Cause i wondered, if you are expecriencing any problems with your hearing capabilities, after over 30 years of more or less excessive drumming? greets from germany
Kind of hard to teach something to someone without explaining it. No? So many people complain that most lessons out there don't explain enough, they just demo the groove. I don't think anyone benifits from someone just playing a groove. Besides... I get more people telling me that I talk too fast. Now you are telling me I talk too much. Huh... People really complain a lot when these are FREE lessons. RVP
your videos show such .. cool ..sticking patterns. .but it does take me a while to soak this in... I get a little confused.. watching. i gotta get on teh kick and watch...

Always a total pleasure watching the videos. Have a great day and thank you so much for sharing.
that solo at the end was INSANE.
IDEA: you should do a lesson covering that solo, or something. that was immense.
That's excatly the same cross-over I first came up with, when I started drumming, both the singles and the triplets. amazing
Wicked drum solo at the end... I wanna be that awesome one day.
I have always loved the sound of your kits! They have the perfect compromise of tone and attack!
Not only was this informative and helpful it was very entertaining. Awesome stuff
this guy is crazy! he is so funny and the videos are Amazing!
Thanks Vanz!!

See how the camera starts shaking near the end of the solo? Too much awesome in a confined space.

Would you show us some advantages or just some licks that would make using a floor tom to the left of the snare more convenient, please?
Good stuff!!! .... iplaypearldrums

I hear Some Bonham in here ;)
i got a bit too carried away and hit my knee full force with the stick
cool xD!!!

vanzdrumming com
Power? Does my playing really sound wimpy to you? Huh... anyone else want to chime in? RVP
Thanks... it will be pretty funny cause I don't remember half the tunes. Ha Ha. RVP
Thank you for another wonderful video! I am curious as to where you place the kick drum beat? On 1/4's or something funky? Again Thanks
I think I know plenty about drumming, and music in general as far as that goes.
its so funny wen he trys to end the demos cuz he has no idea how hahaha
it would be nice if you had sheet music
evans ec2 coated? I prefer the ec2 clear :B
just my opinion
Maybe its the world shaking.
6:52 is the best part! :D haha"
Sir van, which do u prefer? evan drumheads or remo pinstripe on the toms? i just noticed that your toms have a solid sound w/o any mufflers.
nice video man hey wat heads do you use for the botom of your dtoms and also how was your drum off in florida any one stand out that could go far
Looks like DW9000s
Remo single ply. Judging going on now. RVP
vanzdrumming com
cant you just play that without crossing your arms?
Been working for me for over 30 years. Don't seem to have a loss of stroke power. RVP
vanzdrumming com
what kind of evans heads are on the toms? is there a coated version of that?
your videos show such .. cool ..sticking patterns. .but it does take me a while to soak this in... I get a little confused.. watching. i gotta get on teh kick and watch...
a weird things. he talks so fast, but i can understand everything what he is saying
