Please tell me what you think of this solo, I'd like some constructive criticism and advice so I can improve my playing. I've bee plating since April 2008. Thanks :-)

hahah i love how you switch between effects. :)
your playing is pretty steady and consistent, which is good! are you playing to a metronome? if you aren't, i'd recommend that.
keep playing and watch drummers of all styles. watch the way they move and listen to what theyre playing, how theyre holding the sticks, moving around the kit, everything!

the way your playing, you might like Jojo Mayer, if you havent already heard of him.

just keep playing and youll get to where you want! you should get a real kit though, playing exclusively on an electronic might limit your abilities.

Also I'll try and play to a metronome. Unfortunately, a real kit is impossible in my house because of lack of spca and neighbours. I do get one session a week on the school's acoustic kit, though :-)

Metronome practice will help smooth it out. Also, if you have any software to program drum beats, learn to program the beats you play so you can hear exactly how they should sound rhythmically and practice to them.
