      @@eriklarson9137 You'd be surprised how many drummers are self taught without learning to read music. Hence why Domino's process works better for those of us that learned that way. Dirks method is still fantastic for learning songs, but you HAVE to be able to read and understand sheet music and charting to use his method. You'll probably learn better using Dirks method if you can read sheet music, but Domino's works better for the drummers who can't. Nothing wrong with either method though, and it's all about using what works best for you to get better at your instrument. This goes for anything from drums to guitar, and all the way to brass and woodwind insturments like trumpet, trombone, flute, and clairnet.

    Domino absolutely kicks ass. Even if her “main” work is safe within simple 4/4 pop songs, she proves here that she can slay even on an uncomfortable track that’s way outside her typical work. Damn those Paiste cymbals sound gorgeous. One thing I absolutely LOVE about Domino’s appearance (and also Greyson’s) is she’s using a very basic kit, with just two toms and minimal cymbals - it doesn’t matter; she still rocks it out, even without the elaborate kits some other Drumeo guests bring to the studio.

It’s fascinated how different drummers are from band to band and how they influence the music. I never realized how a drummer's style affects the overall music experience and have discovered this from the “Genius” series of videos, but the the biggest shock was how Dirk Vebeuren’s interpretation of The Killers “Mr. Brightside” completely changed the experience of the song by slowing it down.

      Its completely inhuman. His drumming is really impressive but he sings on top of it all.

      He is an absolute madman for singing that good and playing that hard in concerts. I saw them over the summer for the third time and managed to have him hand me a drumstick!! Third time's the charm 💪

      I just saw them in St. Louis on August 29th. I made sure to record him as he sang while drumming. It was just as good as I ever hoped.

    The vibe she brings to te series is amazing. Please invite Domino for more metal. And obviously, she has nothing to apologize for
