Title: New practice vid!!!
Post by: dude-on-drums on January 17, 2008, 03:24:01 PM
New practice vid fammo!  Check out my hand technique.  My fingers leave the stick quite often.  I feel like I can do alot more, alot easier if I get this down.  Other than that, I hope yall like it.

Also I want to encourage everyone to record yourselves as much as possible.  Video and audio.  Its good to be able to look at your technique and posture.  And since you are your worst critic, this should make you better.  Plus, sometimes you dont sound as good as you thought when you listen back.  This will also help you to raise the bar. 

Sony makes a mini-disc player that comes with a condenser mic.  This thing is small enough to fit in your pocket but it records a big sound.  It records everything like you hear it.  Its around $300 at guitar center.

Nice stuff man.  Playing on Marvin McQuitty's gear, are you

I'd like to see you play your ghost notes a little higher off the head.  And not dig your stick into the snare head.  You choke off so much sound that way. 

Other than that, it looks like you're vibin out.

Good Work Kevin! :) Your finesee is 2nd to none lil bro. You flow very well you're sweeping the kit, we talk about this technique quite often. Staying efficent and short with your strokes and stickings is the key. Good lesson :)

 Crank That Hi Hat Boy............. ;D

...Dennis Chambers called....He said he wants his groove back. 1:56 & 2:08. LOL

...dude, you're doing you're thing man.  Sheen being Sheen.  What else you want me to say.

...my favorite part of the whole clip is the beginning to the 1:05 mark.  The space and the lil' things you were doing were spot on.  I'm not going to lie, I was like "OOoooohh" from the :29 till the :55. 8)

Just a little added thought...

You could potentially be doing quite a bit of damage to your hands, wrists, and even your elbows by absorbing the the shock of the stick coming off of the drum head.  Chris Dave developed tendonitus from doing this.  Let the stick rebound off of the head.  JoJo talks about this in his dvd.

...I feel you on that one.  I have that issue as well.  That's why I'm watching Steve Smith and Dave Weckl more and more because they don't dig in on their ghost notes and they just flow.
