[The Face]

Sweet as, and I spewed on your back lawn the next day

[The Real JeffJack.]

Man I rate Igor aye, probally not the best drummer out, but got mad grooves aye, fuck I love old Sep drumming aye, thats what made it all.

[The Face]

Igor Cavalera (and Lars Ulrich ) is responsible for me picking up drums in the first place, for real.

[Devon]

If you can't play along to Betty in it's entirety then you're a shit drummer and should stop wasting everybody's time.

[Kerry]

Seen this clip before? Pretty amazing.

I've always loved the drum-intro-groove to "I Know."

[Dan Last]

Tried bass for two years in 3rd/4th form, not my buzz aye, like drums cause you can do some more chill old school hip'hop on them and some blastbeat.

Although i know a few drummers who are pretty supreme and have mastered this shit within years (often with HOURS AND HOURS of pretty intense practice), i've been playing drums for 15 years and am only just starting to get the hang of blast beats. Doing sweet hip hop grooves is pretty difficult also. Although you might be one of those people with natural skill, you probably aren't and might wanna set your sights lower in the meantime.

Just sayin'.

[The Real JeffJack.]

I have tried some shit slower aye Dan I can get that pretty sussed easily, going fast or double kick seemed hard, but then again I have not a drummer per say.

Cant get a kit till middle of the year when I probally move, kinda sucks but yea looking forward to it

Do you live with John, Kettles?

yessssssssssss i talked to you on our front porch the other day

Sweet as, and I spewed on your back lawn the next day

this exchange was beautiful.

dave grohl is actually a fuckin amazing drummer. it's not completely crazy to partially attribute the success of 'smells like teen spirit' to his drum performance.... that song would suck a cock without that drumming on it...

[The Real JeffJack.]

Now now big guy, we know your all angry about waxing those hard to reach spots due to daggs being out and about, but no need to take it out on here.

[dclxvi]

Straight up - get an average kit, and some average cymbals, and a practice pad.
Get a print out off the net, of all the rudiments. learn those on the practice pad.
The key is to play them slow, and work on good stick work.. Even strokes in sound, height and timing.
If you got some more money invest in a metronome off trademe - and slowly build up speed, but focus on endurance.

On your average kit, practice to some Beatles songs - this will help get you rhythm and timing down.

Plenty of drummers doing fancy shit, and double-kick but few can even play a good sounding money-beat.

Youtube videos.

Practice.
Discipline.

[The Real JeffJack.]

I would claim that, thats a classic!!!

But yea, no dice on a kit till atleast move into a new place and not in a apartment either.

Need a Garage for it!! Been looking up some pretty basic kits, like about $800 for what I want.

[your fucking funeral]

you can buy my kit off me for a 1k and thats a damn good kit. mite chuck it up on here i nthe next few days

[Dick Dynamite]

Haha, that took altogether too long.

[Dixon Cider A.C.]

fuck this thread is just too crackup

[Phlegethon]

good thread. oi other drummers, who are your favourite drummers/influences?

my favourite guy would be whoever recorded the drums on Ringworms justice replaced by revenge cd. just trying to play along to that cd helped so much. i think it helps that its mixed so you can hear everything so clear you can get a good grip on what he is playing and when accenting and shit

[your fucking funeral]

influenced by john bonham and ginger baker. in terms of hardcore/punk bands...its gotta be smelly ( nofx) and dave raun (lagwagon).
