Thanks man! Glad you liked it. Subscribe and share!

[@emarr1854]

I love these full set videos man, it's always so interesting to me to hear what's going through other musicians minds when they're playing and seeing how you all make things work when you have to shave time off a set.

[@dustysaxton]

Thanks man! We’re still a bar band at heart.

[@jamesking2836]

Love your type of playing, double kick is my favorite! The gong drum should be mandatory at every gig! Thanks for sharing love the commentary!

[@dustysaxton]

Thanks man! The gong drum stays forever! I miss it on fly dates but it’s good to change it up. I’m happy to have it back tho!

Dude, as a small time cover band drummer who watches all my shows back, this was an absolute pleasure to watch a professional going through the same process, at a higher level.. Thanks for the content!

[@dustysaxton]

Thanks so much! 🤘🏼 cover bands are where it’s at!

[@danielunderhill6086]

Great performance Dusty! That kit sounds so good. The snare sounds perfect. Thanks for sharing man

[@stevewargo4508]

EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE BRO…….YOU’RE COMFORT LEVEL WAS SOO APPARENT AND YOUR FLOW AND FACILITY WERE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING DUSTY…..KEEP DEFINING YOUR AWESOMENESS BRO !!!! 😃👍🥁👍😃

[@dustysaxton]

Thanks man!

[@kstorms27]

Love the Intersection jacket! Live about 45 minutes from GR and the intersection. Great place for a show.

[@dustysaxton]

One of my favorite venues and favorite cities!

[@mgm5781]

Damn, that kit sounded like you were in a studio. That big crash / ride may be what you're looking for. Fact is, all of these cymbals sounded great.

[@dustysaxton]

Thanks! I loved them.

[@keganfelicetty6256]

It’s amazing how much a crowd mic can add to your mix. Killer video as always man!!

[@dustysaxton]

I love crowd mics

[@joelraf]

Burning through rudiments on my practice pad with your show as my click. Fun way to practice. That snare is so killer and the cymbals are buttery smooth. You guys are so freaking tight. Love it!

[@dustysaxton]

Haha! Best comment ever. Thanks! I love those cymbals.

Love ya Dusty your awesome. Hope you and your family have great holidays!!!

[@SEAJustinDrum]

Dusty I just stumbled on your channel this morning, and I just wanted to say that you put out some amazing content. I've been captivated all day, which is honestly pretty damn hard to do for me. You seem like a focused, dedicated, humble, and genuinely cool person. Thanks man!

[@dustysaxton]

Thanks man! I’m glad you stumbled on it. It’s been a challenge to keep going but I’m enjoying it.

so sick

[@dustysaxton]

Thanks!

[@obxjeepguy]

Now you’ve got me over here looking at the rental kit 😂 Well done again!! I know very little country, but I have enjoyed the heck out of these videos! EDIT: That China catch with the left leg lift 🤣🤣🤣

[@dustysaxton]

Glad you enjoyed it! The gig in these videos has ended. I’ll run out the rest of the footage I have recorded but my future new videos on here will be different.

[@thomascaldwell463]

This sounds so good on my Bose. Freaking amazing! You were even amazed! 😂 Please keep doing these and keep living the dream! Yee Yee and DrumLife forever!!!

[@dustysaxton]

[@MacksMoto]

Sweet post man! I love this format

[@nicholi2789]

Man those type of fills at 34:27 and 35:47 just sound so damn good. You absolutely destroyed that song. You’re crushing it man.

[@mgharden04]

I've been watching your vids for...dang, I guess 11 years or so now haha. I'll put your linear fills up against anybody else behind a kit. 💪🏼

[@dustysaxton]

Thanks man! I figured them out before I knew they were called Linear fills! Lol I just thought I was using the kick in the fill

[@joesegovia3082]

Hey Dusty. I love going to Fantasy Springs Casio! I see you & your band mates found the 12th floor bar 🥃 the view is great up there. I’ve gigged there at the outdoor venue they have called The Rock Yard, super fun place!! Please keep the DrumCam In Ear Mix w/commentary coming. Love it.!!

[@dustysaxton]

Thanks man! That was a great bar and it had a rockin cover band later that night!

[@CraigShawCraigShaw]

Thanks for sharing this, dude! Really interesting

[@dustysaxton]

Thanks man!

[@progression_decibel]

Really awesome video, I loved the IEM mix and your commentary and honest reactions to your own playing! Meinls sound great and I dig the way the drum riser is positioned, not the typical (sometimes boring) dead center of stage all the time (unless it is, I can't tell from the camera POV!). See y'all in GA sometime.

[@dustysaxton]

Thanks man! Drum riser moved to the side so I wouldn’t block the video wall.

[@gabrielrowlison868]

Grand Rapids is like 20 mins from me hahaha nice sweatshirt and killer drummin man

[@dustysaxton]

Thanks man! Gonna be back in Grand Rapids next week!

[@sparknado]

Can you do a tuning video sometime? I love the sound you get out of a drum kit and especially how your snare gets tuned

[@dustysaxton]

I will do this!

[@mgm5781]

That snare sounds like a gun shot. Would love to have heard it from out front. What did your sound guy say about how it sounded out there? BTW, sorry for all the comments. Discovered you by accident and now I'm going through all your videos.

[@tommyaldridge9933]

Sooo deep man…congrats!

[@dustysaxton]

Thanks!

These full show videos are so entertaining! Do you remember what size chinas those were? Now I’m convinced to go buy a china cymbal 🤣

[@dustysaxton]

I don’t remember exactly. I always like 19”

[@JAandrews566]

Do you prepare every little fill/groove you are going to do or do you just make up whatever you feel like doing at that moment? Because some of those fill/grooves are insane! Great playing as always!!

[@dustysaxton]

I just make them up as I go. I try to change it up every night.

[@skibuff88]

Nice work. Interesting listening to you critique yourself and hearing the click and backing tracks in your ear. Does the rest of the band have the click track in ear also?

[@dustysaxton]

Everyone in the band hears the click but all at their own preferred volume. Some of the guys only hear it during countoffs and then it’s buried in the mix. I definitely have it the loudest.

[@MH40minus1]

badasses...SO inspiring

[@dustysaxton]

Thank you!

[@craigdrums]

Super interesting to get this access

[@craigdrums]

@@dustysaxton no need for lessons here on the kit, but if you were doing a class on how to make in ear and click track mixes, and how to get that setup for playing live, that would be something I might be interested in.

[@dustysaxton]

@@craigdrums I’m offering that too. Lessons on drums, lessons on anything else, lessons on just a practice pad for drumline. Click it!

[@DerekPflaum_AustinRealtor]

Kick ass! And Meinl is the way 🙌🏼

[@hairyd61]

Thanks for doing this Dusty. Sorry I’m late to the party. But I’m glad I’m finally here. You are a superb drummer. I’d just like to ask, did you program the clicks yourself? And what are you playing them from? Thanks 🙏

[@dustysaxton]

The click is mixed down with the tracks and given to me on a flash drive. I load the files into Ableton and chop them up various ways and launch them however I need them in the show.

[@hairyd61]

@@dustysaxton thanks for the reply Dusty. That’s very helpful. I use my SPD-SX to run the click and backing tracks. Same as you, I get the stems from the recordings, that way if we have to go out without one or two of the band, I can trigger them from my machine.

[@dustysaxton]

Check out this no click show video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaDXeXiBjd-njbssi=2m-AibUHibrmPYVq

[@MelodyMusicShopBloomington]

I notice after each snare hit, your sticks sometimes rest on the drum (choking it?) vs hitting it and keeping it off for the snare head to theoretically let it resonate more - thoughts? I personally play stick down (choking it) after the hit I've noticed and wondered if there's a method you seek for optimal tone?

[@dustysaxton]

I’ve noticed this too and I think I do it to choke the ring of the drum if the ring sounds bad. I don’t do it on every song.

[@knreal]

This was awesome! What sticks you using for this show?

[@dustysaxton]

Vic Firth 3A’s always. I’ve tried to switch and I always go back.

[@knreal]

@@dustysaxton thanks! Keep up the great work!

[@dustysaxton]

Thank you!

[@danielsimpkins9662]

How do you play without having the vocals super present in your mix? I’ve been a drummer for 20+ years and I have to have the vocals sitting on top in my mix.

[@dustysaxton]

They throw me off the click sometimes. So I have them just barely in.

[@Sundaydrumday]

Dude teach me the ways man!?

[@dustysaxton]

Going to start some form of lessons on here soon.

[@ronwhite-q3w]

What model Meinl you using here

[@dustysaxton]

I don’t remember exactly but I know the ride was a 22” Crash.

[@RobertEMuir]

Why not emperors on batter? Curious.

[@dustysaxton]

You mean on snare?

[@RobertEMuir]

No, on the toms. I like the snare batter.

[@RobertEMuir]

I use emperors on the batter side and ambassadors on resonate side

[@dustysaxton]

Very cool. I’ve never thought to try that before.

[@cooterbascher]

Id be curious to hear the difference between everyone's mix .....

[@homerotamez4573]

If you ever want to buy another USA Custom... I've got one/two I can sell ya...

[@adrianchinnery4143]

Lot of drummers sleep on grestch man

[@dustysaxton]

They’re good drums! I’ve had 4 kits in my life from the cheap ones to their most expensive and they ALL sound good

[@mgm5781]

Just noticed, no splash.

[@dustysaxton]

Another rental kit gig. They didn’t bring one.

[@manydreams1life315]

How in the heck do you get these mixes to sound so good? Your drums sound "real". Whenever I use IEM (molded or not) everything in the mix is just an undefined bunch of sh!t...

[@nickpruett8022]

One hell of a drummer by the way, I love how you play.

[@dustysaxton]

Thanks man!

[@nickpruett8022]

Now that is a back line setup. In Detroit, the back line is always shit. Does not matter I guess, but nice sounds inspire high level playing in my opinion.

[@dustysaxton]

That Backline was beautiful that night.
