What an amazing video. Thanks JuanCarlito 🙌

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Thanks brother! They had some great information to share. They are all great educators. Please follow their channels because they give some amazing gems!

BIG UPS Louie P!! 🤘

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Louie is such a class act and world class. Great dude!!

[@ferggriffindrums]

@@JuanCarlitoMendoza Absolutely, man. And great idea for a video, Juan. Really enjoyed this, thank you!

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Thanks brother!!

[@ryancox5097]

Louie's playing on the song "Waiting for August," by Marked Sky is almost as great as his playing on the song "What Can I Do," by Nate Williams. Both are on Meinl's channel.

[@ferggriffindrums]

@@ryancox5097 100%, man. He's a total monster behind the Kit 👊

[@carlinmuccular]

Absolutely!!

[@jonathanmelendez23]

Dude!!! Awesome tips! The mental practice aspect was 🔥 (i.e. books shared, mental rest)

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Appreciate it! The mental practice side is super important!

[@stantonmooremusic]

Great video Carlito! Very cool idea and very well put together. Shout outs to Carlin, Louie, Justin and JP! I just learned something from each of you. Thank you for including me.🙌🏼

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Thank you again Stanton for your invaluable insights and recommendations! Looking forward to doing it again soon!

[@Jrenglehorn]

Love this, thx Juan!

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Anytime! Hope all is well!!

[@eduardoborgeaud4475]

The advice of Louie Palmer it's excellent, thank you very much.

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

You're very welcome! Louie's advice was great! The pad set up is killer too!

[@vivalav6078]

Those were great! The muting technique really grabbed my attention

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! Yeah I really dug the "muting" concept too!

[@prabinrana2657]

This was so informative ❤❤❤❤ thank you for doing this

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Glad it was helpful! Please share if you can!

[@thomasweinmann5375]

What a great idea, Juan! Thanks for sharing to the other heroes 🙂

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Glad you liked it! There will definitely be a lot more collaborations coming soon. I learned so much and really enjoyed getting out of my own box. Thanks for checking it out and please share!

[@johnrodriguez9977]

Yes, these are great techniques in practice. I like the "Muting" where it shows how you can effectively mix-up the sound and come up with different patterns. Thank you, Juan Carlos.

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Glad it was helpful! Yes the "muting" technique is so on point! JP is such a great educator!

[@bhaveshsolanki6485]

This is fantastic. Well done, Juan all of the tips were helpful, but my favourite was JP Bouvet how he took a simple idea using the double stroke roll and applying it a way i would never have thought of which was very creative.

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Thanks for checking it out! JP is such a brilliant mind and educator. I really enjoyed his portion too! Definitely doing some more collaborations with him. Good dude too.

[@vivalav6078]

Love the chops exercise too

[@tobrhinumber34]

Really helpful. Thanks guys!

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

They all did such a great job! Thanks for checking out the video!

[@juancarlosbrenes4741]

Excellent content as always!!! Very informative and helpful. Although all tips are very useful, for me those given by Louie are the most valuable as they can be adapted to your particular needs, which connects to the advice given by Staton. How to practice is almost as important as what to practice. I have struggled with that issue for years and still do. Thanks!

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Glad you like them! They definitley brought some gems! Thanks for checking out the video!

[@JÖSHK8ÑG]

This is amazing brother ❤, I really appreciate the knowledge, and I also appreciate those wonderful and talented musicians for being part of this ❤🫂. You all are really amazing.

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

They definitely are incredible musicians and even better people. Thanks for checking it out! Please share if you can.

Glad you enjoyed it. Going to do a few more collaborations soon!

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Good stuff, brothers. When are you going to collab on something with Larnell Lewis, Lito? 😅

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

They were so on point with their advice right?! I unfortunately never met Larnell, but that would be incredible. Great player, finesse, touch, etc. Maybe one day it will happen!

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

@@JuanCarlitoMendoza You two will cross paths, I have a feeling. Also, good to see Meinl is giving you some shine, brother 🔥🔥🔥

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Thanks man! Yeah the Meinl sessions came out great! Can't wait for you to see the rest of them!

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

@@JuanCarlitoMendoza I liked the first one 🔥 ( big surprise 🙄😂 ). Looking forward to the rest. But you know how Meinl likes to sit on releases 🤣 ⏳️ ⏳️ ⏳️ But in the grand scheme, it varies content, so that's something.

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power Yeah I don't even know when the next one is coming out. They are a well oiled content machine! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@abject_fail]

Imagine owning AAX/HHX (while I cry in XSR)

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

All good man! We all start somewhere! Put it like this, someone who is playing on Tin cans is wishing he/she had some XSR’s. I know I wish I had something when I was playing on tin cans. Work hard, keep God first and save up as much as you can and buy the cymbals your heart Desires. You got this. 💪
