    Then he zoomed out and I saw it was only a Nord Electro...

    So much respect man!! You seem to be juggling but enjoying your college experience a ton, which is both inspiring and intimidating at the same time lol. Wish you could've been my tour guide when I visited Berklee last October, would've been nice to get another drummers perspective lol. ✌🏾🙌🏾

    Why does he say it's April 24th at 1:29 if the video was published on January 9th 2017

    • @DavidColaDrums
      @DavidColaDrums  8 лет назад +4

      I recorded this on April 24th 2016. I ran into some difficulties since I had close to 2 terabytes of video stored on my google drive and it took forever to re-download all of the footage mainly because of my internet. But, I was finally able to re-download everything and finally edit it.

    I see that some of the rooms don’t have cymbals- I guess there’s a room to pick out other types of cymbals for the practice rooms?

    • @mikewalsh8552
      @mikewalsh8552 4 года назад +2

      you need to provide your own cymbals for the rooms that don’t already have them

  • @StuartJrBarrett
    @StuartJrBarrett 8 лет назад +1

    Amazing vide David!!!! I love it. Question: when you do your covers, how do you have your OVERHEADS panned? Hard left and Hard Right (Stereo)? Or Mono? Also how do you get the nice drum tones?

    • @DavidColaDrums
      @DavidColaDrums  8 лет назад

      Thanks Stuart! Sorry, I think I missed your last message too. I have my overheads hard panned! Left and Right ! And tuning is the biggest factor for drum tones. I barely add any compression and EQ to my toms! I do add some good Compression to my snare though haha

    Hey david love your content. I'm 15 and I'm thinking about berklee, I also live in the boston area. I was wondering what type of snare you're playing, it sounds awesome. Is it a gretsch snare?

    • @DavidColaDrums
      @DavidColaDrums  8 лет назад

      Jacob Friedman hey Jacob! In the studio I am using a Ludwig Acrolite snare! And in the practice rooms I am using a stock Gretsch metal snare haha. Let me know if you have any questions about Berklee! I'd be happy to help!

    • @jacobfriedman4135
      @jacobfriedman4135 8 лет назад

      awesome thanks. I was wondering about the auditions and the basic do's and don'ts. Also strategies for networking and getting gigs because I hear too many stories of great musicians who are never successful despite there efforts. I've determined I want to do music for a living. Also any tips for picking up outside gigs, and also balancing music and school. Does berklee require actual classes or is it just music all day long?

  • @Joesfosterdogs
    @Joesfosterdogs 6 лет назад

    what you cant learn at Berklee...being a cool hang...this guy is a fun cat to hang with...huge advantage...Dave Discenso is a BEAST...best player around imo...wow...you get to study with Dave...

    It is so disturbing when you sing Donna Lee at 10:00, for somebody who uses the european system it sounds like a complete nonsense, like if you sang the pitch of a C but yelling the letter A
