Ok.. Something a little different!

[Shogun_warrior32]

Well..as sad as it is, today i finally packed my drums up due to the fact that my house is on the market. Yes... every drummers nightmare.. no more basement.. i'm truly bummed out at the moment... but yesterday, i had one last chance to hurry up and record another cheezy video before packing up.. i figured i'd do something a little different than Rush or Weckl... see if you recognize these guys.. yes.. most likely against popular opinion.. i'm a huge fan of these guys.. always have been since the beginning.. not to mention i grew up about 1.5 miles from the drummer Tim here in Michigan. oh yea.. also..there's a cameo guest vocalist toward the end! ha ha... enjoy and maybe i'll see you all again when i'll be able to play my drums again..i will go hide under a rock now :-(

well , this is a great video , your playing is very solid and you have a nice touch .
take care

[Guinness]

That was fun to watch. Great playing. Why!? Why sell the house? lol. I would kill for a basement set up like that. You are pretty good at making these videos. Professional quality.

[boomboomda]

Great playing, and nice sound.

[HardcoreLogo]

Great stuff, haven't heard that song in ages..........hope to hear ya again soon!!

[anp27]

I haven't actually watched the WHOLE video, but I already know it's great.. now will you marry me? hahaha!!

[Joe Kearney]

excellent drumming... plus who doesn't like talking skulls? or Primus?

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mendozart]

Shogun,
I love that song and you did a great job on it. Tim Alexander is definitely one of my favorites. I remember when Primus opened up for Rush one year, that was a great show. Pork Soda has to be my favorite album, Tim's playing is incredible. Sorry to hear you have to move from your awesome set-up you have there.

Thanks man!
oh yea.. they came to Detroit with Rush for 2 maybe 3 nights..went to all...awesome shows.
They were just here with the original line up (Alexander) a couple months ago..at the State Theater here in Detroit.. I was so pissed I had to miss.. friends of mine went and has been rubbing it in ever since.

OK!..to all who's asking ..which have been a few times now...about me moving and losing my basement/ jam haven.....please, all you younger drummers.. use me as an example..DO NOT co-sign on a house with a girlfriend, fiance' OR wife... bad move!...when you split, you lose everything!!!!... remember! DON'T LET YOUR LITTLE DRUMSTICK DO THE THINKING FOR YOUR BIG DRUMSTICK!!!!!!!!!!!!... i can't be anymore clear than that without being banned from this site! ha ha....
Rock on!

Dude, your playing is fantastic and I really enjoy your videos. I hate that you have to pack the kit up for a while. Good luck to you and let us know when you are up and running again.

[indiadrummer]

man, at first I thought, Primus? Who are they?
And then I recognized the style and I realized who you were playing. I think one of my friends listens to them
Anyway, loved the drumming. You had a really nice sense of beat, and you were able to show talent and lay down a sick beat at the same time.
Sux we wont be hearing from you for a while. Hope your big drumstick is happy in the end :)

[da cheese walks]

man what a great song!!!well odne well played!!man your great!

what about my name is mud?haha!

once i was able to play that with one foot....that was a good day....couldnt repeat it tho.... :(

the thing about it is your playing a tad different on teh hihats than in teh song so the two make a huge 32nd note sounding hihat pattern!!haha!but nicely played...an if the drums werent in teh backing track it would sound as good as it should!

[gaspesien]

Great job again, that's one of my fav song to play along to, when i'm in great shape!!

Hope you'll at least make some money selling the house, then find an insane bunch of musician like you and form a band that will buy you a bigger house!

Rock on!

My best friends dad told me this, though I'm not religious, I use this philosophy a lot:
"God gave all men two heads; unfortunately, he only gave us the blood supply to run one at a time."

[Sirwill]

What PC software are you using? And also what type of headphones are you sporting? Nice Primus grove.

well.. some vids i'm using windows movie maker and some with the better fx are done with studio 10.5 ...for audio i use sonic foundry or acid pro... as far as the headphones go..ha ha.. some vids you'll see my awesome set of no name radio shacks with the white masking tape holding together one side.. then i finally broke down and had to finance the 10 dollar koss kmart specials...LIVIN LARGE!

[Tama Player]

Wow, nice grooving to the song, awesome camera angles too. You did good with black and white also. Nice and solid!

I'm sorry you have to split up and move out. That really sucks, just whenever you have a chance to un-pack them, be sure to take it!!!! Haha!

Peace

[fourstringdrums]

Awesome man, I love your playing. The video was great, I especially loved the talking skull, it was completely unexpected and creative.

Sorry to hear about the house. But I hope that you find a place that suits you just as well soon. Good luck!

[d.c.drummer]

Great playing and vid, editing. i enjoyed it alot.

Thanks guys for all your comments and advice... really appreciate it.

[hateplow]

Very solid stuff! I especially like the use of the left-hand ride.
Now to just find yourself a sugar momma with a basement...

[rendezvous_drummer]

Nice video man! By the way, what kind of snare is that? Sounds very good.

yea..it's the Vinnie Paul Sig Snare.. it's pretty deep..8" ... when I was shopping for a snare I wasn't looking to get any certain brand.. just going by sound alone(and withing an affordable price range).. so when i cracked on it at the Guitar Center.. the kids there actually had it tuned pretty decent.. fell in love with it right there.. not to mention it's one of the meanest looking snares with the snake skin and spiked lugs..lol...
Thanks man,

jon

Oh J-man, a drummer without a basement is like Brittney without hair.. :-)
Kind of a bummer that you get new drums and lose the basement. Hopefully
you'll get a regular jam space. I'm lucky and have had my basement for 20 plus
years :-) I've got too much stuff in it to move but I'd die without it.. :-)

As for me, I took the winter off from touring to relax and spend more time loafing around haha! I found I need to work harder at my couch potato technique.. :-)
I'm doing a few studio things for some other folks in the next few months but other than that, I'm enjoying a little break.

Congrats on the watchlist thing.. That's a pretty sweet deal. I think you've done more vids than most famous guys so it was bound to happen. Just promise me you won't put out a Martha Stewart style cook book. ok? ;-)

See ya round the ole forum.

Well man I think you deserve it completely. You have the right feel and groove, smoothness and essence of expeirence that seems to be what Bernhard is looking for. That means you have your own unique style and can play without a studder of your stick. From what I hear, only you, Derrick, Dan Britt, and Jeff Indyke have been selected from the forum to be in the watchlist. That is a really awesome oppertunity I'm sure. Congrats on that.

Peace

Well, you commented on me so let me return the favor.......loved it!

The beat got right up my spine! The video creative and cool! Loved the modern style and the innovative touch.....

I may be an old fossil but I know what I know, and this was really good. that stuf sooths the savage soul.
