I think you are holding yourself back. A small kit showed you could do a lot with a little. But we've known that for a long time. Move the camera..we can see you hit more toms. You've done a madness with a couple toms (couple snares in dnb) and some cymbals. You can change the world. More I mean. There is no need to hold back. Millions hooked...

i think that he should at least use two more toms, it looses all the melodic stuff that Mangini write on drums, onbiously we dont need a full Mangini set, its impossible hahaha

[@radiosygnal1782]

Yea, in a closet with headphones, triggers and the same single rolls he does on every piece of music. I'd love to see him try to play this live in a large venue without all the studio magic. I'm guessing it would sound something like a rat scratching on drywall....

[@hugorezende199]

@@radiosygnal1782 dont get Stepario wrong. He is obvious a insane drummer, very skilled and focused. but he just chooses to sound like that. He even stoped with too much dampening on snare, but he chooses to play like for show not for "music" and its a choice. People can see his hand movement without toms, i believe thats the reason

[@emotionengine]

That's why it's easier, less complex to play with an smaller drum kit
