Great playing, and amazing drum sound!

Very nicely done!
I really like your kind of playing and swinging. It sounds very relaxed, yet it`s tight and happening. Though I think you sometimes are a bit behind the beat. This has a slightly different effect with a live band, the others can react but with a play-along it`s dangerous to lose the driving voice. This unfortunately happens fast with play-alongs.

Other than that it felt very locked-in with the bass and indeed I felt the spirit which is most important in my opinion.

PS: Nice tradings, reminds me of Lewis Nash a bit. =)

Sounded great to me, and the kit sounds awesome

[Tuxido]

Sounded good. I think you should push a bit more, especially in the uptempo song.

Thanks guys! yea i noticed that i get behind the beat at some points aswell :( those play alongs get pretty tricky!

[maddrummr]

Such a relaxed sound. Very nice.

[d1ckerd]

Yea man you kit seriously sounds unbelievable!

[tomgrosset]

Well, it's clear that your drums sound very nice and the playing is great too. However, you were behind the beat in the uptempo song substantially... and I know how frustrating it can be. I've played along to John Riley's fast up tempo song(s) a thousand times and it's hard to lock in with. Keep working at it and you'll be killin' in no time.

Nice playing. Here's a tip on the up-tempo tunes - try reducing the travel distance between your stick and the cymbal (space from the top of your stroke to the cymbal). It's less area you have to cover and will allow you to relax a little bit more.

I especially loved your latin feel. That's just about as pocket as it can get.
