Been away for a little while, and made a few adjustments in the studio.

A few more toys are on their way.

Back to the grind!!

One of the last videos completed before “the slump”. There is something really powerful about this song. Makes you think you can throw a ball a quarter of a mile!

I even had my school choir sing it. My favorite part of this video tho?

...one of the comments a troll left: “I like the way Cobus holds his stick better, so no thanks!”

Hahah…what are some funny comments you have gotten or have read?

One of my favorite songs to play. A song which I do not own the rights too. I like this song so much, I even taught it to my school choir. That video can als...

After a great twin-mas yesterday, I'm back to spam your feed with more drum videos.
With the upcoming Rush night, I wanted to post a video I did a while back. Studio was much different then (as you will see and hear). Some incredible video production by Mike Bevacqua.
This is Subdivisions. I used the "Show of Hands" version because I like the live vibe and the keyboard sounds better than the studio version.
Thankful for progress and change!
Enjoy!!

A classic Rush track from the album Signals. I do not own the material in this video. I do not play like Neil, nor will I ever. This is my take on this power...

Very proud of this one. Besides Alan Dawson’s Rudimental Ritual, there aren’t many snare exercises that allow you practice a majority of the rudiments in a “musical” way as this one does. Tommy Igoe’s “Great Hands for a lifetime” is a modern day rudimental ritual. Each level (there are 4) has it’s own set of challenges. Each level each adds more rudiments and increases the tempo.

As an extra “hair pull”, there is the 5 minute advanced warm up that is sure to challenge even the most seasoned players.

Enjoy!

Here is the long awaited "part 3". This is the warm up I use before gigs and before practice sessions. I think this is a huge benefit to drummers as it has y...

Hello, folks!
A little practice out of the Stickings Book. This study uses applications of 4B, 6B, and 8B stickings. The studies are applications of stickings so they can be used musically.
The next step would be to put the accents on the kit. You can play the accents on the toms, then cymbals. You can also play the study over an ostinato.

Or, take individual measures and use them as fills. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

I hope you enjoy this...if not, that's ok too. Happy practicing!

This is Gary study 12 from Gary Chaffee's Sticking Patterns Book. The study combines 4B, 6B and 8B groupings. I'm playing on the Reflexx practice pad...highl...
