Dan Pearson - Primus Drum Audition Pt.1

[@DAGDRUM53]

You have my vote, Dan, I could really dig seeing you in the Primus drum chair. You definitely have the chops for it, good luck.

[@JamWithDan]

Thank you very much. If I get a second look at, or I am lucky enough to get a chance to audition, it will be a bucket list moment for sure!

[@anraatt]

this dude voted for me. Cool thing all these guys with Primus materials. Mr. Pearson still looks like he could just have a sleep behing kit while going on.

[@toddhumphries3327]

Great job.. seamless playing. So natural.

[@JamWithDan]

Thanks Todd!

[@jas.8973]

LES! This guy won't mess you up on stage. DO IT!

[@cylonjiujitsu66kev7]

One of the best auditions I've seen very good job pretty much flawless

[@DrBanzaiPhd]

You win. I've seen the rest. You, Sir, have been the best so far. I hope you get the gig.

[@JamWithDan]

Thanks a lot. If I do get a chance to audition it would be a bucket list moment for sure!

[@benjiwill]

Nice one Dan! Great medley, really enjoyed the edit / submission! :D

[@JamWithDan]

Thanks a lot Ben!

[@RealBigCliff]

This one has stood out -- the clip at the end was a superb addition

[@JamWithDan]

Cheers!

[@fishhead420]

I too have been watching an onslaught of tryout videos. Some of the drummers I've seen have tens of thousands of subscribers, and some with less than a hundred...and I can say this....there are a TON of talented drummers out there, including you sir! You have the chops indeed and I wish you luck.

[@JamWithDan]

Thank you! I'm not surprised that so many drummers are putting their hat in the ring. The standard is incredibly high. Whoever they go with will be amazing for sure!

[@BlindMelonChitlin-n6i]

Herb nods in approval

[@robertnettleship5467]

This is great.

[@jeffw4899]

Great job mate.

[@JamWithDan]

Thanks Jeff!

[@joe73199]

Less is more. Not a wasted beat. Top work!

[@JamWithDan]

Thanks Joe! I'm gonna tackle the song "Natural Joe" soon.

[@joe73199]

@@JamWithDan Good tune! DMV, Nature Boy, and Riddles are Abound Tonight would be awesome! My favs :)

[@JamWithDan]

@@joe73199 Here's my cover of DMV. kzbin.info/www/bejne/maC0dGigiraIick There's also a No Bass version I did with @GameboyGuitar kzbin.info/www/bejne/gou3pqyjbq-WfJY Nature Boy is a definite for the future!

[@Pittsburghbad]

In my top 3 ive seen drum so far love how u did morr than 1 song. More people need to do that

[@JamWithDan]

Thanks!

[@jfbarabe6785]

Bravo!!

[@DrumsDoctor]

😮 Most Excellent Job You Did Great You got My Vote Bro 👌 👏

[@JamWithDan]

Thanks a lot!

[@bacongl]

Kit tuning was on point, same with cymbal tone. I love that you made your own splashes lol. I also loved how you didn't add anything extra and focused on the parts. You got my vote.

[@JamWithDan]

Thanks a lot!

[@cripmeister9104]

Best one I have seen so far

[@JamWithDan]

Thank you!

[@MachinShinful]

YOOO what a vibe! :D

[@JamWithDan]

Thank you!

[@mattcamerson6761]

Well done man!

[@weppanx]

Oi Oi Oi !! Nice one mate ,Good luck.. :D

[@JamWithDan]

Cheers mate!

[@chefmike8888]

Nailed it. First one Ive heard that sounded like you removed the original drum tracks and played. Most others I could hear a slight flam from playing slightly behind as if they were listening and following.

[@chefmike8888]

Oh, what mics are on your toms?

[@JamWithDan]

Shure PG56's on the rack toms and a PG52 on the floor tom

[@evankeal]

Oh yeah, my vote.

[@JamWithDan]

🙌

[@sifugonzo]

11 was great bro.

[@lukascalvert6484]

It’s very rare I watch a whole video of someone’s auditions or general videos of them playing… You have broken that trend… Tuning is fantastic… No Ego head shaking bollocks… You let the music breathe …the notes inbetween the notes you play are just as Important and people often forget that…. Just a great job and hope you get the gig or at least a face to face audition

[@JamWithDan]

Thanks for the positive feedback Lukas, I appreciate it!

[@user-fn9nq9wk6l]

man that eleven was TIGHT!!

[@JamWithDan]

Cheers!

[@duncanhunter2714]

Where do I vote? Hot stuff Dan. Wow.

[@JamWithDan]

Thanks Duncan. The Primus team said they will contact the people they want to audition in a week or so.

[@iloveslipknotandtool]

Good job good luck

[@JamWithDan]

Thanks a lot!

[@alexr.5888]

Clean.

[@JamWithDan]

Cheers!

[@jamesbyrne5799]

You Have My Vote Dan.! Not Much Of A Primus Guy As I’ve Been With The 3 Canadian Boys For 45+ Years, Dan Definitely Has The Chopps.! Which By The Way Is My 10yr Old Grandson’s Nick Name For His Drumming Skills..

[@JamWithDan]

That's awesome! Thanks James.

[@butchcassidy3373]

Ok Les, this is your guy

[@garyclarke9557]

I think we have a winner

[@JamWithDan]

That's nice of you to say. The standard of submissions is incredibly high and I'm sure there will be a lot of factors that will come into their decision. If I'm lucky enough to get a chance to audition in person it will be a dream come true for sure

[@robrokswing8110]

Ahhh...an auditioner with an understanding of ghost notes

[@ronlouis3550]

I like the kit set up. toms sure have gotten smaller

[@daavidmurphy3562]

Top 10 at least

[@ervinisimo]

He's got the chops, not sure about the personality

[@Baribrotzer]

From seeing a number of these auditions, it's not going to come down to musicianship. It's going to come down to whether Les and the new drummer can finish each others' jokes.

[@JamWithDan]

You're probably right!

[@ryankamm13]

Nope

[@muffinman4353]

You're not the right fit.... continue playing in a cover band.

[@JamWithDan]

Zappa fan? Thanks for checking out my video anyway.
