You NEED to watch this video about drummers...
I personally really enjoyed this video...hope you guys like it too. It's two drummers about to audition for a big jazz school. I've definitely had this conversation before.

Re: Playing for unplugged sessions
Check out the Nirvana MTV unplugged videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDHVpB8RuX0&feature=related) on youtube. Dave Grohl (definitely a hard hitting drummer) is using wire brushes in that video,...

Re: wash riding, a music style
To make it seem like this is something new, which of course it isn't. I'm sure plenty of poor saps will fall for it too...just the latest (and saddest) in a line of sad attempts to "revolutionize"...

Re: Notes for tuning drums
Just throwing this out there-- when I tune, I usually actually start with the bass drum, then go to the lowest tom, and work my way up. This is partly because I play rock and tune the bass and toms...

Re: Good drumming to the audience
That's an awesome quote. I mean, the way I see it, since my band just plays covers, I notice people get the most excited when we play a song that a lot of people like. And if you were to think about...

Re: Darren Jessee
Yeah, I've seen the videos online of the reunion concert, but I can't believe either that it's not on DVD yet. I can't imagine that it wouldn't sell, Ben Folds still seems to have plenty of fans,...

Re: Darren Jessee
I couldn't agree more, especially about the difference between Ben Folds' band and solo career. Don't get me wrong, I love Ben's solo stuff, I saw him live a couple months ago, and he's still an...

Darren Jessee
OK so this thread is a little late, since Darren Jessee was the drummer for Ben Folds Five, and they broke up 10 years ago. I don't think he's played drums on any recordings since--though he is...

Re: Most Underrated Drummer - Male + Female?

To record yourself playing along to your iPod and listening back to it. Just did for a couple of songs, and my playing sounds terrible and out of time. Kind of a reality check. If you're ever feeling...

Re: The decline of the double stroke
I think I've noticed a similar trend. I know that it could be considered generalizing to say that there is NO popular music that features double-stroke rolls on the drumset, but if you listen to top...
