Brandon you are an awesome drummer. Is there anything in the rock genre you have trouble playing? I mean all of the Rush songs in like 40 minutes to Dave Grohl. Then you add in your jazz prowess. Wow. And the way you slow things down first and then up to speed is so nice. Of course the Drumeo follow along transcription is so nice for seeing the notes you are playing. I know everyone just about wants you to analyze and play their favorite drummer's iconic songs but if I might would love to see you do this for selected Bill Bruford songs. Keep up the great work Brandon. One final question: are you in a band? If not some band is missing a great drummer. Hope Drumeo offers a VIP week again. Cheers.

@mitchellsmith85372 жыл бұрын
I honestly think that the nevermind album is some of Dave's most stock drumming. Very plain and straight forward for the most part to me. I believe the reason for this is that those were mostly Chad channings parts. Even though Dave added his own power and flavor which I feel improved Chad's parts, to me dave was held back as a drummer with nirvana. There was only so much shining a drummer could do with that particular band and set list. Don't mistake...I love nirvana. One of the greats imo, however, dave wasn't able to display his musical skill like he shouldve with them. He has actually mentioned being somewhat apprehensive to assert himself or disagree with kurt. Not out of intimidation but out of the admiration and faith he had for Kurt as an artist and his talent for writing. If my memory is right...he was even scared for Kurt to hear his format solo demos that he had recorded for fear of Kurt's disapproval in them. That says alot to me. Rant over. Dave rocks and so does Brandon!!! 🤘

@gregbester38552 жыл бұрын
just a snobbish correction :). He didn't hire anyone to play the drums on The Colour and the Shape. It was the original drummer and band member William Goldsmith who played the original tracks, but Grohl wasn't happy and re-recorded the drums without his knowledge. When Goldsmith found out he was extremely upset and quit the band, causing a major rift between them. I believe this version is well documented.
