Re: Hilarious!
I thought I'd seen it all, but this is a whole new level of amusement. He's created a completely new style, the "no kick drum whatsoever" technique is inspiring (not to mention really handy for transport to gigs). Man, that guy can groooooove. Never have I heard such an understanding of the drummer's art. Toms perfectly placed to encourage the very best of technique. He's got it all.

Not to mention the unique art of "not playing anything that sounds like the backing track." It's almost like he's playing drums with background music. Incredible.

Re: Hilarious!
Oh no MM, you've completely missed the skill displayed there. His playing is the ultimate in slip timing polygroove technique!(wink). Also known as creative reflex applied polyrhythem (C.R.A.P. for short). Lol.

Creative Reflex Applied Polyrhythm ROFLOLOL
I love that clip. At first I'm thinking, "Gosh, what a handsome young guy" - and then he played. The effect would be equivalent to a guy seeing a sexy woman, but when she opens her mouth she sounds like Fran from The Nanny.
The crash cymbal was very special - a prime target to bend like a hat and give to Bill Bruford for another rousing version of One More Red Nightmare.

Re: tom angles!!!!
Bob, "Expert Village" is a misnomer, isn't it? It should be called Really Really Basic Village. It's bizarre - I don't get where they're coming from. I mean, why do it?

Re: tom angles!!!!
More like Village Idiots. They have a 10 part video on how to play the opening beat from "When the Levee Breaks". The guy who teaches it has no swing, or feel and he starts all ten parts by saying "Ummmmm...... So.....uh... What we're gonna.....uh...... do is............uh..........."

Re: tom angles!!!!
Yes, that goes without saying. These are posted on Craigslist and to have any street cred at all, you must have steep angles, dented heads, dusty shells and bent hardware. Anything else and you'd be laughed off Craigslist, or suspected as some kind of scammer.
I am thinking of creating a Craigslist version of my set. If I sold it on Craigslist, what would it have to look like?

Re: tom angles!!!!
For some reason, as soon as I saw this band live on TV, the drummer's crash cymbal height bothered me. It's not like has a lack of room, so why is it way up there!? On the other hand, his tom angle is perfect

Re: tom angles!!!!
Haha. Oh, indie bands. Although, I must say I'm kind of digging those purple acrylic drums.

Silversun Pickups. They are touring with Muse. I don't really like them, but I'm seeing Muse in two weeks. His cymbal is going to annoy me for the entire opening act.

Re: tom angles!!!!
It would be fun to start a list of all the officials Craigslist style guide for drum sales. Like, "You may not spell "Zildjian," but you may instead use these approved spellings:
Silogian
Ziljun
Zeljian
Sildjun
etc.
