Thank you very much I appreciate it

Thank you so much for your compliment. I'm having speaker problems again but I think I know how to fix it. And yes journey is an amazing band and as soon as I get the speakers fixed I will record it for you. I'll be happy to. Thank you for paying attention and you're nice comments

Thank you friend my speaker system is out so I have a hard time recording any cover videos anything I share that is a cover was recorded at an earlier date hey thank you friend

Thank you very much

Thanks for your opinion

Thank you my friend that's a very nice compliment and hits keep me inspired

Thank you for the positive comment this always gives me inspiration and makes me feel good that I'm improving. You're right I should always wear ear protection. Cannot remember specifically what happened but I think my headphones were not working or maybe I'm out of ear plugs which I will order today. I appreciate your concern very much.

No worries my friend. It was over 10 years ago when the doctor informed me of this and I have an appointment Thursday so I'm not too concerned I'll keep playing as long as I can even if I have to play with one hand LOL. Thanks for your concern but I'll be fine

@@AKADonBrewer Def Leppard covers 😂

It kind of put things into perspective, doesn't it?

Thank you very much. I appreciate you

Thank you very much. And indeed it becomes more difficult to play with age. But the passion never goes away. Thanks again, these positive comments keep me going

Thank you very much for the nice compliments. This really encourages me to continue on and to strive to be a better drummer. Thank you very much

Thank you so much I appreciate it. This these kind of compliments to keep me going. Thanks again

And you keep up the good work. Again I appreciate you compliment. And greetings from the USA. It's awesome to have drumming as a common factor among friends from all over the world that's amazing.

@@AKADonBrewer Indeed👍All the best😊

Thank you my friend. It's crazy you can record a video of a song or a solo and it sounds perfectly fine until you listen to the playback LOL. Sometimes I get so tired, well yeah you're absolutely right I need to work more with my metronome. I've been juggling my music, setting up my new wood shop, and everyday life of course. It's a lot of work a lot of physical work. I have to be careful because my equipment is in the music room which is in the back of my woodshop LOL. I've got to finish building a solid wall with a very tight sealed door and good ventilation to keep the dust out. Normally I keep my Electronics covered if I'm doing any woodworking. It's crazy but it's fun. You take care and thank you for paying attention and for your nice comments

I guess that comes some years of playing live LOL. And thank you for the compliment and encouragement. This is always very helpful to me.

You are most welcome my friend. I enjoy entertaining for others and I enjoy what I'm doing. And such nice compliments is yours makes me feel really good and keeps me going. Thank you very much

No actually. It's just something I put together in my head. But that's a pretty song I sent it to my girlfriend. I always call her my angel. Thank you

Well played!!🔥

Thank you my friend

I appreciate that. People like you keep me going

I really appreciate it thank you. I had to work on that one for a while lol but, it's comments like yours keep me going

Thank you very much I appreciate it

Thank you very much. You really made my day. It is these kind of comments that keeps me going. Thanks again I appreciate it

@@AKADonBrewer noone comments anymore, but when its deserved its deserved, we Put our heart in what we make so if I see something good I say it, Just a small gesture to the person giving it all makes them wana do more right ;)

You're absolutely right. Not only does it inspire me to improve continuously, and although I don't get very many comments sometimes, it's amazing the things that people like you say and I would rather have your comment any day over 1,000 constructive criticism comments. Don't get me wrong I appreciate all comments. But the big thing is, you made me smile and made me feel good about myself. Thank you so much. You're incredible

@@AKADonBrewer then i dod my job 👌 People dont tell eachother if they are doing great anymore, and its Just a little thing to do right! Keep it up and i ll be watching more

@WildMonkCreations. I'm working on one that I consider extremely difficult and I've been working on it for probably 3 weeks off and on. I'll break down and get a new printer one day so I can print out the sheet music. On the other hand I mostly played by ear most of my life. I think it will be another week or two before I can actually perfect the song. I live alone I have no one to help me with technical issues or sound issues ETC. But I was pretty proud of hard to handle by The Black Crowes I recorded recently. The song I'm working on is probably five times harder LOL. Thanks again and take care

Thank you very much. I work hard to get that song as close as I could. I know I'm at mistake to my song but that's just the way I am. Thank you for the encouragement you're awesome

Never too late to start

I don't consider myself a great drummer but I've spent a lot of hours playing drums over the years. I just started over about a year ago and I'm working really hard to try to avoid mistakes and to keep time and Etc. If you really got the desire to play the drums and have friends with drums just try it again and don't try to play anything fancy starting out, if you can keep a Beat playing on the hi-hat snare drum and bass drum just a basic simple beat then you're a drummer. Of course buying a set of drums is costly I know. I've had several different sets throughout my life and this said I've had for about 10 years or so and it was already beaten up and abused lol then I had to put it in storage but got it back out about a year ago and started practicing. Anyway if you got the drive and determination and you can keep a Beat you can be a drummer my friend

Exactly

If you have the means to rent a set of drums or to buy a cheap set, there are many videos on KZbin teaching you how to play the drums. As a matter of fact, I'm thinking of doing one love you today for beginners on how to get started playing the drums and how to determine if you are truly a drummer. Keep in mind that not all drummers are the same. There are those who play very soft and slow music and those who play hard rock and everything in between. I played almost everything, but I'm better at the rock music. But I played in the gospel band for a number of years and we have a gospel album, my brothers and myself and about half of the songs are slow easy playing gospel songs. Just let me know if you are interested and I'll try to notify you, and as danktsunami said, it's never too late.

Thanks very much. positive comments really give me the motivation to work even harder to become a better drummer. Thank you for a nice compliment

Thank you I'm trying really hard. The main thing is have fun while you're doing it right thank you

I was going to explain it. But I wanted to keep the video short. When I bought the double bass pedal he came with two of those stickers and I put one on the bass drum then I thought maybe the other one would have dampen the snare LOL. That was a mistake I tried to peel it off and it feels off the coating. I need a new head I wish I had one for the video. But thank you so much for your kind words that makes me feel so much better. Take care

@@AKADonBrewer I knew it looked like one! I may or may not have wasted one trying it myself 😂

😀🥁

You encouragement is always appreciated. It really drives me to do better. I realized my progress is slow but it's nice for you to recognize that I've been working hard at it. And I will continue watching instructional videos and practicing techniques. Thanks again for your encouragement

@@AKADonBrewer You're welcome. Idk.. it looks to me to be moving pretty quickly. I don't know your backstory. but it looks like you clearly have some history with the drums, ran into some problems, and now you're getting back into it again. It looks to me like you're moving along pretty well. I can hear the talent in there.. and it shows more and more each time. Drums are great! It's great to have a hobby and something that gives you pleasure in life. good luck!

Thanks again I appreciate that. Yes I have had some accidents and unfortunate encounters with high voltage electricity LOL. But I love drumming and whether I do good or if I make a few mistakes, if it's worth posting I will post it. Some days I will work for hours and trying to get the groove on so to speak but it just doesn't happen. But other days after practicing sometimes for hours I create something I feel is worth posting. I realize I missed a lot of beats sometimes. But also my offbeats in some cases are intentional thanks for your confidence and support this really keeps me going. Take care

Thank you very much. Every positive comment of encouragement really drives me to work even harder. I realize I'm still making mistakes and struggling with even the basics sometimes. But I continue to watch those instructional videos and try to improve even if a little at a time. Thanks again

Hey I really appreciate it. I realize I'm still making mistakes and have a long ways to go. But it's nice to have encouraging words. Thank you very much

Thank you very much it's always nice to get honest feedback and hopefully positive feedback LOL. I really appreciate those compliments and comments. It kind of helps me know where I'm at. I want to know whether it's good or bad thank you very much

Thank you very much I appreciate that. Encouragement always helps me to continue to push on. I'll be recording from a home recording studio soon which will be awesome. Thanks again

Thank you very much

And thanks again I really appreciate it

Thank you very much I appreciate that

Thank you so much I appreciate it.

Thank you I appreciate that. I tried to focus on my abilities and work through the struggles. I'll get back to at least 90% of my potential within 6 months or a year. Thanks for your encouragement

Thank you for your advice and I really appreciate it

Thank you! Cheers!

Awesome I really appreciate that my friend. That's a big boost I'm working on it.

Thank you very much for the nice compliment. This people like you and your comments to keep me going. I hope I can continue to produce decent sounding videos because of people like you. Thanks again you're amazing

Thank you my friend

Thank you I appreciate it

Thank you for the encouragement. I need it right now. You're good friend

@@AKADonBrewer You're welcome :-) Whatever it is you're going through right now, there will be a time where the light shines back through.. and you'll feel good again! It sounds like you and your brother have a real connection to music.. he is also encouraging you! Stay positive !

Absolutely my friend and thank you for paying attention and for your kind words of encouragement.

I am very sorry. I sincerely thought that it was a joke and I was only joking with you my friend but I should have been more careful. I hope you can accept my apologies. I've learned something from this and I promise I will be more careful in the future. You are free to post whatever you want and I just hope and pray that you accept my very deep and sincere apologies. I hope we can become friends. I'm so sorry

@robertgoodman3257. I am still struggling with my comment response to yours, and I have been feeling really bad about it, not your comment but my response. That's what I want, my friend. I want 100% honest and sincere feedback from you and my other friends. There's no excuse for what I said to you. Because yes I did suffer brain damage from the lightning strike and the other electrical encounter. And I'm not normally so sensitive, I promise. I had just been going through so many challenges with everything breaking down in my music room, and even my truck my old truck LOL. And I had joined some drumming community on Facebook and I react to the same way to their constructive criticism and had to go back and apologize to them as well. You made a very sincere, honest comment which actually help me to understand better while I'm having so many struggles right now. So kudos to you. I cannot apologize enough. And I'm so sorry that I hurt you and that was not my intention. I hurt my own self after seeing your feedback knowing that I could say something like that to a good person and for no good reason and I realize now you were simply offering a comment which helps explain my struggles as a drummer, and I owe you a big thank you, and my appreciation for you goes Way Beyond what you could imagine. Thanks again and I hope we can be friends. Thank you

@@AKADonBrewer no worries,I was just curious. Sorry you got hit by Lightning!⚡ That must have sucked!

Thank you my friend I appreciate you

What does that mean? Read in the info.

I'm sorry, I was just having fun. You're right. Electrocution can affect the function of the brain severely. I appreciate your comment, my friend. And I just sent a response to your other account. Please accept my apologies. I edited this post and I will delete my post to you which were not intended to be hurtful, I should have just realized your comment was very sincere and to the point. Because you are absolutely right. Thank you and I hope we can be friends. I think you're an amazing person

Thanks Phillip for making my day, and a cheerful smile. From the USA to Ireland. Interesting, my grandmother on my father's side was Irish. I'm the youngest of 7, so I never knew her, but have relatives in the state of Georgia, a few hours drive away. Take care and thanks again.

@@AKADonBrewer all drummers around the world have something in common x

I've always said there's not a best drummer. We learn from each other and my skills are not as good as so many others. Drumming is fun, it's a passion and just like any other fashion you push yourself to be the best you can be. Accept Who You Are and former Bond and a brother or Sisterhood kind of thing with all of the drummers of all genres. Thank you for that comment. It rang so true
