I Paid Fiverr 'Pro' Drummers To Create An EPIC Drum Part For My Song! • I Paid 'Pro' Drummers ...
My name's Stephen Taylor and as a drummer, some of my most valuable feedback and lessons learned have come from evaluating my drumming in a recorded setting, looking at what other session drummers do, getting feedback from other musicians, and being willing to improve my playing based upon that feedback. In a video a few weeks ago, I created a Fiverr gig and paid multiple 'pro' drummers to record the same song. In this video, I hired 3 drumming LEGENDS in the Nashville recording industry and had them record their own version of the same song. This video took A LOT of work but was MASSIVELY fun to produce.

I think my favorite was the 2nd guy he was awesome you guys were all great.
Thanks Corey! I loved all of their parts
Ill say it because you can't. "Stephan Taylor making us look bad"
Lol, thank you my friend. Im just happy to be making music with good people
Both great guys and friends!
Bro, if you've played on Veggietales I'm immediately going to hire you.
I know right???
Gotta be Veggietales bro.
I just came here after watching your video
There's never ever, ever, ever, ever been a show like Veggie Tales.
I can’t trust it because Stephen spelled Veggietales wrong on Dan’s list... “Vegietales”
“The winner is music.”
We who enjoy music are winners, too.
Music is an art form, to put it in terms of a competition is silly.
Oh yes we are !!! ;)
“The real winner here is music” - yass! But Steve Brewster’s delayed snare and reverse boom chick really nailed it for me. Nice lineup!
I loved his part so much!
My sentiments exactly.
100% reverse boom chick sold me.. wow that was amazing
Completely agree!
Me, too. Dan Needham sounded more reserved as if recorded for an album. Steve Brewster's sound is like for playing live. One thing I notice is that you don't need a fancy drum set to produce beautiful sound. Scott Williamson's set is basic, but the sound is killing.
The biggest takeaway to me, that all of them did It, was to let space for the others to shine... And only shine in the right places.
Yep, that's the mentality of the great session players. You're hired to do a job and that job isn't to shine on the record, it's to let the band who hired you to shine.
Every now and then something magic happens and the session players become Toto.
Make the music speak & elevate what others are playing/the song 👌🏽🎶🥁
This!!!
...which is exactly what this guy crapped on that the "amateurs" did. Lol double standard much?
They would have let more space if it weren’t for a drum channel.
So the dude from Mythbusters is now a session drummer? I wondered what happened to him.
Adam savage 😂😂
Just came to find someone asking this.
you just stole my comment!!😂
Lol totally.
Stephen! I feel bad because you don’t have a cheerleader on your take! So... I’ll cheerlead! Amazing playing and interpretation! Love your transitions and feel - particularly on the B section. Thanks for doing these videos!
Ha! Thank you my friend. Just happy to be along for the ride! Thanks again for being a part and for what you do
All of these takes were fire but yours was my favorite. Loved when you took it full time at the end.
I find yours the closest to the idea of the song. Great.
That finish was fire my friend.
@@StephenTaylorDrums Hi Stephen! I guess it´s about leaving all doubts behind! I once was the opener on a little gig for one of Germany´s most well known pianist and (besides the playing) compared us afterwards. What I could see was that he had no doubt of being on stage/a musician/playing for the crowd, whereas I had some 10 or 20 % in the back of my mind, what I´m doing there... I guess it must have felt the same for you to record that track. Sooooo - when no camera´s rolling, I´m sure you come pretty close to what the others play.. :-) Just imagine one of them breaks a leg and you have to jump in...
Drummer: plays straight beat for 12 measures
Stephen: ShUt ThE fRoNt DoOr!! Now that’s how you enjoy music everybody. It’s the little things that matter😂
Yes!
Drummer: Starts playing
Stephen: Wwooooooohhhhhhhhhyyyeeeeaaaa
😁
Got to love the energy :D
You don't have much of a choice but to be overly energetic and loud when you're a creator, I suppose. It's a mask they all have to put on. Look at the 8bitdrummer. In his oldest videos he's quite chill and enjoying the songs. Now he has to laugh obnoxiously loud. At. Every. Single. Little. Thing.
These drummers got the funk. They got it real bad. If that isn't a reason to get excited, idk what is...
Apperently every session drummer worth his salt has been through the Veggitales gauntlet.
Nobody is giving any love to Dan's take......maybe bc there was no video, but I feel like his sounded the most “pro" out of all of them. Dude was in the pocket the whole time and everything was perfectly placed.
Agreed!
Yep
i tried not to be influenced by that, but idk sounded kinda plain for most of it, the ending was nice tho
It was so perfect that I thought maybe it might just be Logic pro X's Logic Drummer
my problem with his take is that it was... too polished. it sounded like a talk show in-house band playing funk. something with the compression and the tropes happening: nothing was surprising, but it was executed perfectly. I think it's what happens when you are used to cranking demos with not much prep, you get very "right answer" oriented. And that's a professional thing: repeat + execute. Stephen's version was taking a creative viewpoint on it, not just "servicing" the song.
I'm probably also biased because I have a very similar cymbal setup to Stephen, and the dark really lets the high end of the music pop out. The other setups were very, very bright and competing with things... except Dan who clearly had processing and the room dialed in.
Holy crap.... Scott Williamson's kit is meatier then a Texas Rib Festival.
Indeed it is.
Shiiiiit, Lance from the cymbal project, no way!
Weren't they Pork Pie?
WFL3 DRUMS
I've learned more from this and the Fiver video than just about anything else on RUclips.
Glsd to hear it Matt!
Amen to this.
I agree, these analyses from a pro (and about other pros) are really helpful insight. Thank you for the great work!
It is such a joy to watch a drummer get excited while watching other drummers. I'm also glad to see I'm not the only one who bounces in their chair, hits pause, paces around the room, and then replays the section.
Oh, I love a good song!
The chair jump is a compliment. The chair jump plus pacing with your hand over your head denotes mastery...
I went to school with Steve Brewster and marched next to him in the snare line in high school and college. He has been immensely talented from a very young age. He also was quite nice without any attitude and helped me out many times. Steve absolutely deserves every bit of success he has achieved and I wish him all the best.
Dont even know how i ended up here but it is badass.
I was so down, before I saw this Video, but now I'm sitting behind my drum set.
Thank you😊 so much!
Yes!!!!!
don't be glum, bang a drum!
The real legend is you Stephen
Thanks my friend!
You’re welcome
I really like his the best. It may be because it’s similar to my style
We are all legends..
Hmmm these older dudes got the real studio experience, no doubt!
Indeed they do. Theyve been cranking out hits longer than I've been alive in some cases lol
The number one takeaway I have from these guys is that none of them do "too much". They very creatively play within the constraints of the music and ornament it without overpowering it.
But sometimes I Love it when a drummer Over Plays. I'm a guitar player so I have a little diff view of it lol.
They were all so sick but Dan Needham gets extra points for that super fat beautiful compressed mix
MIND BLOWN....... 🔥🥁🥁🔥
All equally impressive.... and I do mean ALL.
Killer video my brother. Very cool, thanks for the upload dude.
Thanks Jon!
You think I m gonna hit it , but I m not omg !! Btw Dan kicks ... and he make a great pan to his toms wow!
haha !!
Watched it with such joy, your observations were so educational. Subscribed !
Glsd to have ya hangin with me on here
“Gotta hear dans ending again!!” 3 beats to the end - ( McDonald’s fucking fries and hbo max). I seriously hate ads in all the wrong places.
I believe such practices are in place to help celebrities (or public firgures) to not look so bad with their peak appeal compared to the diminshed reach for casual viewers for experts giving advice (which requires concentration). You hinder - what in the last five years that has been a growing and loved trend in youtue - these expert channels by placing ads all over the place to keep the numbers down and celebrities appear to have success on youtube. It was cash grab short term projection that hurt them in the long run.
I feel it would be great into actually hear each take straight through and then have the commentary. It ruins the flow of the jams.
Right there with you, brother. I appreciate the insight he has, but it def breaks the flow.
I think the reactions were great though and rewinding and so on. I do get what you're saying though. To hear it all as one piece would be nice but i'm not sure the video would be as "fun" either.
That’s what I was saying. He’s talking to much through the music
Sooooo buzzkill
I agree. He screwed up the grooves by constantly cutting in.
Scott had REALLY smart playing. Everything he played had an absolute purpose. And that snare backbeat was a HAMMER!
What brand of coffee brings out this level of enthusiasm?
Need some if that over here!
Great vid Stephen 👍
Lol...ive decided to let my inner drum nerd flag fly high!
Try Death Wish. Its smooth and sexy on top of being ridiculously caffeinated.
Co.Kane
That reactions to that James Brown move ahahah omg ! I would give the same reaction. And I did ahahahah. I love the musician language 🤪🤣
I'm a guitar player and I was just thinking how drummers describe everything , they are hyper too. I know a few that do the same thing. lol
Larnell Lewis would absolutely crush this track
...and any other track he played on.
I’m not a drummer, but stayed to the end. Fantastic job.
Same
Something that really jumped out at me was that all three of them (well, four, I guess) are Nashville studio pros. And a quick look at their credits shows that country music makes up the majority of what they've recorded. And yet all three (well, four, I guess) are so thoroughly and authentically funky. This isn't a surprise, perhaps, to anyone who's paid to attention liner notes over the past several decades, but I think the average music fan would be surprised by how funky and jazzy country cats can be, and how some of the greatest country musicians actually came out of jazz or funk or R&B.
Also, it was interesting that despite going with a funk groove for the main body of the song, Scott went jazzy on the half-time section. So sweet.
This entire vid was awesome.
lajollascott You don’t land certain music projects without experience. Regardless the style a particular drummer is known for, the ability to tackle a variety of music genres or anything thrown at them is why they’re sought after studio musicians.
I feel like jazz has a history or background in alot of genres of music. I'm a metal head and alot of our technqiue or style is stolen right from a jazz hand book haha. Not complaining. Fusion jazz gets me going
Versatility, is part and parcel of being a session musician, its what keeps us busy
Tyler Fenelon Hiromi Trio Project with Simon Philips on drums. Those albums get be more amped up than most Metal.
@@tylerfenelon7172 Just listen to metals originators, Black Sabbath. Bill Ward was laying down jazz tracks back there! Black Sabbath had swing.
Showed this video to 10 students and just the verbiage and communication really opened their eyes up to a lot of how musicians talk to each other. Adding in all the differences creatively between the drummers....AWESOME. Thanks for putting out great stuff. 💯
This made my day! So glad you could use it as a teaching tool
You mean "drummers," not musicians.
Steve that was incredibly done and awesome to watch. All this content is so killer!! Your jam at the end blew me away....man that sounded sick. Time to make an album or play along album. Keep em coming 👍👍 Stay safe and best wishes to you and the fam.
Thanks so much my friend!
I’m thoroughly convinced that Steve Brewster will never disappoint. He played on some of my all-time favorite records
I played music with Scott Williamson in high school and he was a beast even then.
Let's also not forget Alastair Taylor. His compositions are incredible.
Absolutely. He smashed this one
OH YAAS! I second that!
I agree. That track was sick- would love to have it.
I was almost expecting all takes to be layered together at the end just for fun. Excellent video, Stephen!
Huh. That actually sounds like an interesting idea! I wonder what that would sound like...?
The major difference for me between these guys and the fiverr people is the tone and crispness in their playing. Not even the better equipment, but the perfection stuff that takes years to develop.
*SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!* is probably the best euphemism I've ever heard
I really like the band Toto, and they are all studio musicians like this. Studio musicians are some of the most talented people you’ve never heard of and usually the ones who start to rack up a list like this will leave bigger marks on music than the musicians they work for. Mad respect
Sweeet!! Next one should be RUclips “star” drummers take on a song.
I've been trying to get that one going for years, with limited success. But I'm in if anybody will have me 😎(Not that I'm a star - just a humble youtuber)
Kenade Sato. She’s a child prodigy.
A lot of those cats will just be chopping all over it though. Trying to set lap times!
vadrum
I’d love to see Nicko McBrain, Lars Ulrich, Nick Mason, and Brooks Wackerman take this on.
Lars proceeds to grab trash can from St Anger
I'd love to see Simon Phillips' take on this song.
Lars Ulrich - that'd be painful. How about Marco Minnemann and Taylor Hawkins instead?
Lars: Sorry dudes can’t make it... too busy trying to comb my hair !!
Taylor: Sorry babe, can’t make it... too busy brushing my teeth.
Simon Phillips: IN !!!!! 😊❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶🥁
matthew messner Lars: *tosses ride cymbal out the window*
I have learned that the pros prefer a *FAT* snare. Time to try tuning that wooden slingerland…… again. Thanks for the inspiration.
I had the pork pie squealer 6 inch. That shit had such a boom and a perfect ring. Best drum invest ment i made
Depends on the pro I think - but I've definitely heard Ash Soan (UK legend) talk about wanting his kick & snare to live in a similar space. "Bmf...Pmf..." rather than "BOOM... Chick..." That way you don't lose all the beef on 2 +4. All about the folks dancing!
@@jaybasil3694 I have that snare as well. Really good sounding drum for the money, and sounds naturally low, even as you start to crank it up.
And by the way. By a good drum trigger software. Those drum tracks are full of them. Nothing against it by the way. Nice snare and Tom samples by the way. 😉👍
@@BeatDigger Samples won't save a bad drum sound...
Hey Stephen, can we have this track too? So we can try our own version
As a bass player, I would love to play with all four these great drummers. They were all locked in with bass and had some much pocket but also had some funky grooves!!
Scott Williamson?? You mean the veggietales drummer?? That's definetely where I knew him from...
Thanks for reminding me about Dan Needham and why I love his drumming so much. I love his FEEL. it's just really special. This was a really fun video. But it might have been interesting to choose a song more in the vein of something most people would want to record, rather than something really busy that could be a kind of a showcase song, because stuff that's less busy requires more creativity in a way (restraint). I would love to hear one or more of them talk about the way they would approach a particular song--or maybe how they did approach a favorite song of theirs that they recorded. Thanks for the video.
Definitely agree with statement regarding Dan Needham! 👍🏼
Nothing wrong with pausing and commenting but please, please also share the tracks so that one can listen with no breaks! ;-)
Dan Needham was the one the hit the funky nail on the head for me.
It is great to see all the different styles. I would love to try it myself as I'm sure some others here would too. Is it possible to download it and try our own version?
between this video, and the last one with fiver, I think the only thing left is for you to do another one where you have a combination of two of these studio drummers, and two of the "winners" of your last experiment.. and you have to match the drummer with the drum part. totally blind no video (for you) only audio until your guesses are firm; then reveal. Bonus if you have all the drummers do something that either drastically changes mood mid stream; or is fundamentally different style from the previous two experiments.
What is the name of that killer song? Alistar Taylor did one heck of a job on that one
We actually never named it lol
@@StephenTaylorDrums Can we get it on Itunes or Spotify? Better yet - can we get all four renditions, I'll be happy to pay.
me too!
Is Stephen and Alistar related?
I prefer Steve Brewster's interpretation. While I respect the musicianship, the track has a pretty generic jazz fusion quality to it. Brewster's drumming made it sound the least generic.
Absolutely loved Steve!
I would love to hear Nate Smith’s interpretation of this tune
Osmany Gonzalez that would be a killer groove for sure!
+1
im thinking of tony royster jr's take on this one. :)
Extremely enjoyable, Stephen. Loved them all. A wonderful example of each drummer enriching the experience without being in the way of the piece. I appreciate the focus on being musical.
Thanks!
Due to this video I made up my mind to come back playing the drums after 3 years without kicking a bass drum. Thank you.
You, my friend, are the entire reason I run this channel. Welcome home!
Same here, but sadly I don't have any drum kits.. just learning and playing in my church since I was in high school...
Jesus...these interpretations are just amazing. Drums are just...drumatic!!!
I decided to sell mine.
Alesis nitro mesh electronic drum kit is great entry level
First look n shout to myself, hey I know those names (always read all names on CD or cassettes I bought, a pleasure that has been lost coz of digital download. And you give it back when you put many credits below).... N you affirmed it when you give the list of artists they worked with. Thanks and surely I send this video to my drummer friends. Ciao from Indonesia.
this sounds like free royalty free music from advertisements
Hey there... 1st time watcher but now I'm hooked and had to subscribe... just a few perhaps thoughts/suggestions to really ramp up your videos...
1) When you pause the video and comment on a section, it'd be nice to go back to hear that part again right after you dissected it, so we know what we're listening for.
2) Optionally, perhaps it would be nice if we could hear their sections completely without your VO, so we can assess it on our own first and then see how we differ
3) It'd be nice if we could hear the original track, without any drums, to also perhaps come up with our own ideas...
4) Lastly, although, it's a stretch, it'd be nice if we could download/play along with any or all of the versions, especially if we are learning or even play another instrument, so, essentially offering a blank track version (on another YT video linke) or even a SoundCloud, or some other MP3/download/etc.
Overall, I love your videos, keep up the great work man!
The first drummer feels the best fit for the song.
I agree; most dance worthy.
Scott’s snare is out of this world
I gotta say, while all three takes are awesome, my favourite is definitely Scott's. Simple and tasteful, perfectly in service of the song. Steve's was a bit too busy, with the drums stealing the attention rather than focusing it IMO. Dan's is my second fave, that mid section is so groovy, but I think this song wants a bit less pocket and a bit more air, hence my preference for Scott's version.
Scott Williamson for me on this one - loved all of them but his really grabbed me.
It would have be great to hear each of the takes without all the excessive talking and stopping of the videos. I know you're excited and all the drum parts are great but maybe let us hear them clean with out narration then go back with all your comments. You make great points about the drum parts being played and what they're doing but it would have been great to hear each first without interruption. Great job otherwise.
This guy talking is very ANNOYING.
@@administration8961 Those drum parts and drummers are slamming. I also was jaw drop open and going, "Wow", too. I can see why he was so excited and it's his channel and his time and effort putting videos together.... I'm just saying, one play through with no commentary either before or after without stopping video. He's free to do what he wants. I'm cool with that. Just asking, please one time with no commentary.
@@golfnut033 so what if it's his show - it doesn't negate my opinion. And he shouldn't have included his 'take' on it because we now know who makes the $14.00 in the experiment..
I like Larry Mullen Jr. He's pretty quiet when he's not drumming.
apppreciate what your saying but if he kept playing the whole song each time the video would be too long & everyone would be bored of hearing it by the 3rd run through. Its a trade off, but it works as it is.
it makes me happy to hear such good musicians...No ego drumming, just musical...amazing!!!
I LOVE when drummers talk about patterns and say things like: “bucka boom ba tschik Boom”🥰
Haaa. Did you see the one video of Freddy Mercury trying to tell Roger how he wanted a certain drum beat to go.
ruclips.net/video/8sJjjC5xqAk/видео.html
Roger was looking at him like, "Sorry fred. I dunno what "boom bachaam boom boom bachaam" means". Too funny.
I think Steve did the best job bringing the essence of funk but all the tales were incredible!
I see you're using hybrid drums, mic'd and triggered. Pretty nice, fat layered sounds. Sounded a tad weird that the snare was tuned higher than the triggered sound, so the lighter grace notes didn't quite match up with the beefy hard triggered snare hits. Still, a great recording and nice interpretation of the music. I think I might try a hybrid setup live sometime... Might be fun! Great channel.
I can't enjoy the music every 5 sec he talk.. why don't finish the song before the judging?
Is no one going to say anything about the brilliance of the Four to the Floor beat on 13:30 in Dan's version? DAAAMN, that got me good. Hahaha! Four beautiful versions, and Dan's version was definitely my favorite. Great vid Stephen!
Scott:
4:50 transition to 1 verse
6:20 fill
7:07 ending
Steve
8:20 the J.Brown snare
9:30 transition to Reverse b.c.
Dan (best IMO.. just look at Stephen’s face 13:34)
12:32 the ‘you think i’m gonna hit it’ - beautiful move
14:11 move to full time and the outro
Stephen T. - best outro 16:45 :) Kudos to Alastair Taylor for the track
Thanks!
I noticed that if this was an official session, these would literally be three takes, similar themes, pocket unlimited, and groovy.
I've probably watched this 10 times now. The pocket on these guys is so deep, a black hole would not contain them. I miss the drums (damn COVID!), but I get to enjoy this "spiritual ceremony".
The highlight of my 2020.
What is the name of the song BTW?
Unfortunately, I neglected to ever name it lol
Honestly, if the decision came down to drawing a number from 1 to 4 out of a hat, you couldn't but help pick the perfect interpretation for that music.
I'd love to hear Tony Royster Jr's take on this track!
That would be killer! Tony is one of my all time favorite drummers.
Will Kennedy , Carter McLean, Eric Harland, Marcus Gilmore, Nate Smith, Jd Beck, Kendrick Scott, Damien Schmitt, Larnell Lewis, Teddy Campbell, Sonny Emory too.
And why not Vinnie Colaiuta..
HI Stephen, It's really interesting to see different styles in the same song, makes you think i.e what if John Bonham played with the Police, or Copeland with Zeppelin.
Or Chester Thompson played with Genesis, or Alan White played with Yes. Or that what you’re listening to basically happened with both the Mothers of Invention and Steely Dan. What happens when your drummers include Bernard Purdy and Steve Gadd?
My non-drummers who are watching this imagining themselves playing this at their talent show, where y’all at? 😂
Dans is the best hands down. Fills are nasty without over playing and he gets around the hits SO gracefully.
Needham's instantly had me making the stank face and jutting my chin.
Serving the song FIRST.
But seriously? I learned from all of you! thanks for sharing.
I like your playing. And your kit sounds great. At this level, there is not "who's better", there is just "different".
Man Dan killed it dead. Those quick kick doubles in the fill coming into the "chorus". duuude. But I will also say Stephen's intro served the music gloriously
Thanks Devin
the first two played for Veggietales, the third played for Vegietales
Do you like you waltz with tomatoes?
The real winner here is Steven Slate’s Trigger.
hahahahah, it always wins
Yep. Pretty bloody obvious that there's a lot of shitty sample replacement happening here.
Here’s the thing...these guys are all really insanely great drummers and their interpretations are important. I’d just like to hear exactly the way they played without trigger replacements over their preferred audible tone 🤷🏻♂️ I dunno.
Not going to lie, it's really cool to hear different drum takes on this song. The most impressive part is either way works for me. I just wish the third one filmed himself playing.
Wow I loved your take at the end! Wish your snare had a snappier sound for this song but that’s just a personal preference but DAYUM that was clean
I loved all the interpretations....but Steve Brewster took it to a "Whiplash" movie level. That man is a whole different thing, beautiful to watch how he plays. Amazing...
I gotta give it up to Steve Brewster on this one. That choice could totally be different on some other song but his take on this track really shined for me. Great playing by all involved.
*Spends 500 on "pros" in previous vid*
"Man really needed more there. Missed some obvious pushes."
*spends 500 bucks on his friend, the "legend".*
" i like how hes giving it space"
The difference is intent. Did you choose not to play, or did you just not realize that there was a choice?
@@bobsmoot5106 Oh right, and he knew what the intent was of both drummers, because....... (?)
I liked Dan Needham the most.
I don't know any of them, so I'm not biased at all.
Obviously, all are solid takes on the song (can't expect any less from session drummers) but for my money I've got to go with Steve Brewster. Just something about his approach that resonated more with me. Gotta say that Dan Needham's ending was definitely an attention grabber though. And don't think that I had any problem with Scott Williamson's take just because it didn't jump out for me as much as the other two. I would expect to hear that drum track on a record for sure.
As for your take... No one can sell you short. You are, in my opinion, tied for my pick for this. I loved your somewhat off beat accent approach to the snare hits on the A section, as well as the ride pattern and ghost strokes for the B section. And those were some great fill choices throughout! Granted, I think the strongest part of every version were the fills. All stuff I never would have thought of, let alone been able to pull off.
All around, great stuff and I love that you give us a chance to hear/see the different ways a song can be approached, as well as a commonality to how different players hear the same part. I love to hear when a performer can think a bit more outside the obvious patterns, but also use the straight forward approach to drive a song when need be (though I more often go with outside the box If I can). Only thing I can't fully agree with is the snare tones all of them have. Personal preference is a tighter, higher tuned snare (5"-6.5" shell is my range). I love a good crack.
EDIT: I forgot to mention! Your reactions are just awesome! So fun to watch you getting so excited about what you're hearing. Such a little kid...
I, too, like your first pick. had the most style and identity. the most interesting. too bad this video is hard to watch with all the talk-talk emoting.
Ok they have worked with a lot of artists who i've never heard of here in Italy
:) What can I say? You need to get out more:))
dude..let the videos play. stop interrupting
we are drummers and know what we are seeing. talk at the end of each clip.
Because *everyone* is a drummer. Non-drummers aren’t allowed to watch this video.
I'd love to hear Dave Weckl's interpretation of this song and, if it was possible to go back in time, Jeff Porcaro's as well, the number one of all time.
The only thing that had more energy than all three drummer combined was your reaction to said drummers Stephen. Loved the video🥁💯👍
OMG Steve Brewster worked with Chayanne ??... He is a HUGE Legend in Latin America.. Listen to "Torero", "Provocame" , "Salomé" , "Lo dejaria todo", "Humanos a marte", uuufff i can keep going baby !
Dude love the video but why you got to be emo with the hands and eyes and overdo everything. It is a little wearing like infomercial on bbloww. I could use a little less edge.
stop cutting videos plizzzz .play it full and comment
Me not playing drums at all and listening y'all: "MAAAN SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!"
I think the key takeaway is that the real pros sound like they have been in "the band" for years. Their playing fits right in to the music.
@Stephen Taylor Is It possible to listen to the full take of Scott? Thanks a lot from Italy
