Played my first gig on drums this past Friday night at a benefit show. Me and three other coworkers that have never played together put this band together just for this show. We played around 45 minutes of '70s covers and I gotta say I HAD A BLAST!
I've been a gigging lead guitar player for 25 years or so and a gigging bass player for around 3 years. I've always sat behind my drummers kit and goofed around, but I've been hitting it really hard the past 8 months or so.
In this video, I'm using a newly purchased Gretsch Catalina Maple kit and Zildjian A Custom hi-hats and crash cymbals, with a K Custom Hybrid Ride. Yes, I didn't skimp when I got cymbals!
Anyway, I'd love constructive feedback on my tempo, drum tuning, etc... Help me improve!

EDIT - I should also point out that our show was meant to be a little silly and over-the-top. That's why you see me pointing in the crowd, trying to twirl sticks, wearing a headband, etc...
