      +76boromir He has guts to put a phone on the snare while playing fast

    • @nelsschulzke6231
      @nelsschulzke6231 6 лет назад +1

      Yeah, in all likelihood he has it there to dampen the snare. Makes sense since that snare is clearly tuned high as a kite, he may not dig that sound but clearly doesn't have time to switch out the snare or retune while everyone else is playing, so dampening is the easiest option. And he is probably one of those players that when he changes out his snare head there is one dime shaped spot worn all the way through the coating of the head to the clear because that is the only place he hits, so with that accuracy there is no risk of hitting his phone, haha.

      The reason DW kits cost so much is so they can afford to give a dozen or so kits to Berklee and sponsor every broke ass drummer out there.

      haha dude, there are only so many ways to do a fill at a chops session. I know for a fact that all these guys have different styles, tastes, and abilities. I mean, just watch how they individually approach the drum set, pretty different from player to player.

  • @samashtondrums
    @samashtondrums 8 лет назад +12

    "Chops" is pretty much the title of this video... It's a shed session... All these people com paining there's no groove. The video is about experimenting with chops. They didn't get together and go "lets make a musical performance" they will have said "lets get together and have a shed session and go mental with some chops"... They can all play musically but that's not the aim of the game in this instance...

  • @TheOriginalCoda
    @TheOriginalCoda 10 лет назад +4

    Re: the comment at the end about "...there's no ego's here...", drummers don't have egos. Try this with 10 guitarists though... then you have a problem lol.

I hate seeing people comment saying "Oh this guy is shit cause he can't play fast and only plays slow" etc. or whatever, because we are all INDIVIDUAL drummers, all human, and we all have a mind of our own and at the end of the day its not about being fast, technical or whatever it is about just about being YOU no matter what!
