The pocket is DEEP in this vid. I’ve been trying to incorporate more off-beat hi-hat footwork into my drum parts as well. It’s such a fun way to “pick up the tempo” of a slow jam like this.

I use some promark scott johnson marching sticks on my drum kit and everyone says Noooo! Not correct!!! Bad! But I love it, it's improved my playing greatly, and after 3 years it has yet to damage anything on my kit like they said it would.

I use this all the time and I love it

This is like the most music theorily perfect rock song.

Right With you bro, I started playing Jazz, and never switched, even though I grew up during the Golden Age of Hip Hop & Neo Soul brother.. Works for me.

I play heel down it's always worked for me.

Really cool, man 😄 What do you think about the cajon? Thinking about getting one, myself.

Hella cool! Always GOATed, my man!

Nice Eric! You should definitely try a double pedal someday, they're so much better than single pedals plus it would make your little drum set even better!

OMG IS RONNIE MCNUTT

in the finalmpart; which tama is that? small kit

Man, that is COOL!!!!

There is something you should definitely try! That is: A double pedal! They're so much better than single pedals, you should try one sometime

Im trying to switch from heel up while burying the beater to heel down and letting the beater rest/rebound but my freaking foot keeps sliding up😡 gettin frustrated lol

I purchased a Zildjian Alchem-E Gold EX kit. I have been searching two years for a flagship electronic kit to replace my seven year old Roland TD-30KV V Pro kit. I played several top of the line electronic kits the past two years. Many of the kits drum sounds were OK, but all of the cymbals felt fake like my Roland kit. I played the Zildjian Alchem-E Bronze EX kit at the Edrumcenter booth and a Zildjian Alchem-E Gold EX at another booth during the Music City Drum Show the weekend of July 21st and 22nd. I paid $4899.00 plus $463.25 sales tax. Total $5363.24. I traded in my Roland kit, an old Hi-hat stand and bass drum pedal. I received a traded in value of $2505.00. Total out of pocket $2858.24. I setup the kit and updated the firmware to the latest version. I setup the module and assigned Yamaha Recording Custom sounds to the toms and kick drum. A Ludwig Black Beauty for a Snare drum. Cymbals as Zildjian K Sweet and ride as a Zildjian Concept Sizzle Ride. No triggering issues. My friends and family say that the kit sounds amazing. The sound of the drums are fantastic. The cymbals sound, articulation, and feel are just like real cymbals, because they are real cymbals. I love this kit.

Nice! I wanna see ya jam with a double pedal someday, they're superior to a single pedal

Appreciate the review. I have seen a few comments and one review stating the triggering on the cymbals is not there yet. Do you have any comments on mis-triggers on the cymbals? Did you ever mean to get a crash sound on the edge and instead get a bow sound or anything similar?

You should do another snare buzz roll followed by the ride cymbal groove with the snare drum at this pitch, and the ride cymbal at an 8th note pattern.

My two cents; Im an older player, and found for me early on, that it was easier to achieve those quick doubles in exactly the manner in which you profess. I have been trying to incorporate a heels up style as well, and have realized that not one style is gonna fit every song, ie Immigrant song is easier for me heel up, but Swing Town, by Steve Miller, is much easier for me, esp coordination wise, completely flat footed on pedal. Why? Who kkows? Great video.

Very nice Eric! I have a question, have you ever jammed with a double pedal?

inspiring :)

Last two fingers on the hand: ring finger and pinky; thats how the old school boys did it. Grip it and rip it. Tony Williams professed this method as he liked to say, " When you rely on all that bounce," It gets all willy nilly".

Anderson Paak's style

Ooh this is groovin ✨

Instant stank face. Nice beat

Hey man what’s this from??

💥🔥🔥🔥👍

🥁👍🔥

Lovin’, is what I got 😎👍

🫵🏻🔥🔥

Thanks for the review. The cymbals may feel real, but the drums sound really bad. Not really acceptable for that price tag ☹️

Hey new drummer here! Is a 5 stroke roll all done with rebound?

how breakdown plz

Eric, Thanks for the review. Great feedback. M

Tuning master

Sweetwater treated ya good huh?

hello Eric im struggling with this technique. ever since i started playing drums at 11 years of age i played my bass drum hell down without a problem. recently i got myself a tama hp30 pedal and i cant seem to nail the right position, everytime i try to play relaxed heel down technique my beater does a quick rebound against the drumhead. its like doing ghost notes on the kick and i hate it, its ruining all my recordings. i adjusted the tension, the beater hight and board position but nothing seems to do the trick. i've been playing on my kit kinda focused on avoiding the rebounds but as soon as i relax and try to flow i start getting them again. how do you deal with this? what is your recomended setup?

My favorite part is 1:32 onwards. So hard

I like a nice ride cymbal.

Cool 🎵 💪

Sounds good. This would be a cool trick to add a percussive section to a 70’s style song

Yes, an e-kit can feel real. Not all do, but the good ones feel 99.9% like an acustic kit. The Zildjian e-kit may have slightly better feeling cymbals, but they are accusticly lowder than the cymbals on my e-kit, and my cymbals feel more like real metal cymbals than most. .

i will say that my e kit def feels close to"real"

💣🥁🎶💯🤘

Making it easy!!!

How much and give me the full na,e of the putty pad
