Awesome playing man! Those are the exact type of grooves/solos I like. Very solid tight and locked in. And just great playing overall, it all flowed nicely, and sounded great.

You obviously have great talent, next step up is to record with some mics (or maybe you have them and just weren't recording with them) and get some better sound quality. Crash and ride cymbals didn't sound too good... :/
Fortunately that has nothing to do with the level of playing which was excellent!

I'm loving that snare too. Sounds great in the video I'm sure it would sound fantastic in person!
What snare is that?

Nice stuff bro. I dig how you made great use of the ride with many sticking approaches on first vid. It really showed how to get multiple textures from just one cymbal. Another thing I really liked is how all those stick marks were right in the middle of those toms, that's the first thing I notice when I see a drum kit, it says something. Very cool stuff, thx for sharing.

Some cool stuff there, & rock solid playing. Thanks for sharing.

Some good stuff here - well done! I like an open sounding kit at times... My only complaint is I found things were a bit too repetitive & that lost me. Good hypnotic quality though.

hi! great playing at all...nice grooves, that's how a drummer should be...which snare do you use?

Very nice man!.
I know what you were going for and you nailed it.
Just a solid tasty groove.
I need to practice that much more myself.

Do you play a small kit with few cymbals all the time?. Just curious.
