Another one of My Vidoes of me Drumming
This video is paying homage to my three favorite drum intros. They included the drumming styles of Chad Smith, John Bonham and Jimmy Chamberlin from the Smashing Pumpkins. This intros to me sounded so cool as a young drummer and I wanted to learn them immediately.

John Bonham's Legendary drum solo Mody Dick pt.1
Without a doubt, if anyone is a drummer they are obligated to know who John Bonham is and what famous drum solo he played with Led Zeppelin. Without Bonham's great half beat shuffle grooves, drumming would never be the same today. Not only was Bonham a drummer, some considered him an athlete due to the fact that he was able to play 10 to even 20min solos in the middle of a concert. His fills are easily noticed with a great solid and heavy feeling with his bass note triplets. Bonham created several styles that influenced many rock drummers. Almost all drummers should try to learn some of his beats. Not only are they fun, but they will improve a drummer's versatility.

Chad Smith's Solid Beat
This video changed the way I saw drumming forever! Chad Smith of the RHCP's preformed at the Modern Drummer festival in 2005 by hammering away his drum beat. Chad Smith plays drums with a spontaneous attitude by being an aggressive hitter on the heads. This beat is so solid and loud the second I first heard it I wanted to imitate Smith style. What I personally love the most about this video is that its not a complex beat but it sounds great. For the whole 5min Smith only plays his hi-hat, snare, and bass drum. Please enjoy this awesome beat it will leave you in shock and awe as it did for me.
A Video of me playing my Peal Drum Kit
This first video is a full analysis of my pearl vision series drum kit. I play my set for the viewers to show how it sounds. In this video I use Evans drum heads but currently I used Remo. The Pearl vision series comes in all different colors but i chose black, there are also different sizes the drums have. They can range from a 20inch bass drum to a 24inch bass drum. Please watch this video and ask me questions about my kit if you have any.

Welcome Drumming Community!
Hello drumming community, welcome to a great blog site that will discus a wide range of drumming topics. For as long as drumming has be a profession, drummers seem to rely on other other drummers advice on certain topics. These topics will range from how to practice, preforming live, drum gear and keeping a good idea of how drums are apart of everyday life. A great solid drummer can make any band sound great, without a drummer the band would not sound their best. For example, If one were to look at band such as the Led Zeppelin or the The Who, most drummers would agree that they would not have been successful without Bonham and Moon. Controversial topics are as well going to be included, such as why drumming machines should not take over the position of a real drummer. Another one could also be why Mike Portnoy left his band Dream Theater after 25 year to take the place of the departed drummer Jimmy Sullivan from Avenge Sevenfold. I will also talk about my personal favorite drummers that have inspired me to jump on a drum kit a start grovin away. Please feel free to ask me answerable questions. I'm excited to launch this site and I would love to get those endorsement deals as soon as I can! Thank you and keep on drumming!
