Re: Ideal length for a drum solo?
Viperpercussionist, I'd say that's the ideal kind of drum solo for that kind of setting. Not too long, not boring, there was a build and a climax, and you didnt go overboard with anything. For the...

Re: Post your Greatest Weakness
My greatest weakness in drumming is getting caught up in thinking that I suck, that I'm a horrible drummer. I feel my other weaknesses are nothing a little practice and more lessons won't fix.

Re: When do you consider yourself a drummer??

Re: Practicing on pillows.
Ah, this discussion again. If I remember correctly, the people against pillow practicing decided they were right and considered the last discussion overwith. I still disagree with them.

Re: Tony Royster Jr.
Sounding like a young Dennis Chambers includes sounding like a young Billy Cobham, Tony Williams, Buddy Rich, and tons of others (and THEIR influences).

Re: Tony Williams
Y'know, somehow I've never really ended up practicing flams, and I was thinking yesterday about whether or not to start incorporating them, and hearing Tony use them finally convinced me I should.

Re: Billy Cobham
I'm all about the non-elevator-music fusion. Billy is the only drummer who's drumming I can completely percieve as a person just speaking to me, which is why he's my favorite drummer from a musical...

Re: Jon theodor
One of the best young drummers of today. Mars Volta is also one of the best bands. I saw them in August and they gave hands down the best musical performance I've ever seen in my life.
