Sound's GREAT man!

I'm a better actor than I am a drummer. That's the secret. ;) Thanks for the kind words. :D

Pitumisio

You don't look that nervous dude. Good ol' Jeff would be proud of ya, keep the good work.

drumology2001

LOTS of practice, my friend! I just sat one evening and played that groove on a pad for a half-hour and got my hands feeling right with it. Even on the night that this was shot, I was a little nervous to play such a thick groove. It turned out decent, I guess, so I'm happy with it. ;)

Arianna Fanning

I definitely understand the concept of the Purdie/Porcaro groove....but how are you playing all the ghosts/hi hat pattern at that tempo? Really great job.

Consider yourself invited. ;)

Mark Vialva

sounds great! i wish i had my trumpet and an invitation

drumology2001

Thank you for the compliment! Yes, the bass player is right in front of me and to my left - the dark haired guy (his name is Juan). He is insanely talented and played all the notes (and then some), but you don't hear it in the "Part 1" video because the bass amp was pointed away from the camera. You hear the upright bass in the second half of the song (see "Part 2" video) because you're hearing the natural tone of the bass there. So yeah - it's the amp, not the player. ;)

cool. You do have a bassist right? In the original song the bass sound is prominent, but here not so much. But also... wow you're hitting those drums with such rhythm.

drumology2001

Thanks! This big band only rehearses twice a month or so, and we had a total of about 4 or 5 rehearsals where we actually read through it, so I'm glad it comes off okay. ;)

elecbass100

yes sir! I played bass for this in jazz band, you guys played well!

ChrisFreek

Amazing and inspiring. Keep it up!

TJ Amas

lol! touché!

yeuop

outstanding!!

drumology2001

Pssshh...I WISH it was effortless. I had to really focus to get that groove to feel natural!

drumology2001

If I had any video of Juan, it would be up already. The guy is a maniac! I will try to get some of him and I in the future. I have some behind the scenes footage from a studio recording we did, but that's about it.

TJ Amas

effortless man! excellent drumming!

Emmanuel Garza
