Was a great watch brother...Your kit dynamics are top notch...Much love from Perth,Australia...Would love to make a neurofunk drum and bass track with ya...been in the industry for 15 years, 13 as engineer and last couple as a independent artist...your style would sound amazing with it.

[@airgearmaster123]

I play guitar and that shit happens to me alot usually toward the end of what im playing hahah i start to think like "i dont want to mess anything up" or I start to think about what could I possibly do wrong

[@danmarshall5895]

10:15 Okay, I've never recorded as a drummer, but I recorded in Hollywood once and I was so stoked for it. Out band had a 17-minute song (I would call us a jazzy, instrumental version of Zeppelin) and I was nailing it in one take, but about 15 minutes in came the bass solo section. We had 2 bassists and I had the first solo with a bunch of chords and these little harmonies with the guitar and accents with the drummer. I screwed that up bad. I was on a fretless and in the moment lost track of where I was and ended up about a half step off for the chords and slides. Thank god for punch ins.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

One full take is a mental game as much as anything. So hard!

[@EmberGyaru]

I've been watching your vids for maybe a couple months now (and been subbed and liking each one since the first one I saw, btw ^_^), and I kept wondering if you'd ever seen or reacted to Chris. I believe in one of your recent vids, you'd said something about how Alex must be the pinnacle of playing for that style of music, and rightfully so, but I kept thinking, "Omg, Chis Turner. Has he heard Chris Turner?" So like two days ago, I did a search through your vids and found one reaction about him, so I was at least satisfied you knew who he was and saw his ridiculous talent. And now here he is again. Awesome. He's so disgustingly good, haha! Also, I completely appreciate the bit about getting near the end of a good take and then mind-****ing yourself. So true!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks so much for this awesome comment!

[@zerozeeros]

Hey buddy ive just subscribed. Ill tell you the reason i dont sub and like often. The sub list i have is filled with the absolute best of what i like on KZbin anything im half hearted with i dont do as it clogs up the up the list and makes it harder to find the content i truly enjoy. This is the same philosophy i hold with the likes. I only like top tier vids that have great repeatability if i fill that list with vids that im watching but dont hold that tier of quality it makes it impossible to find a specific video i may have forgotten about a year ago etc. I know how this sounds. Like im a diva etc but I'm sure im not the only one. Lastly i held off subbing to you till i saw that you reacted to metal drummers more often than not

His cymbals are angled that way most likely due to how low they are, raise them up to keep your angle of attack is why you’d pitch them inward.

[@christophermolina5522]

I watched a video where Chris explains and the reason why he angles the cymbals away from him is cause he plays so fast and with so much force that he would be cracking cymbals way to quickly

I'd believe it Christopher!

[@NickMcMillen16]

Love that you touched on the mental performance side. I'm a mental performance coach for athletes (mainly golfers currently), and I always love hearing about the mental side of performers outside of sports because it's so true what you said (especially on this level). It's interesting to hear you talking about how self-talk can negatively affect the way you perform, and that's mostly coming from a side of starting to think too much about your technique or thinking too much in the future with wanting to finish the song. Great reaction as always, and Chris is a monster.

Every time I'm in studio, I try to focus on the music and the drums themselves. Just have feel the music and have fun. Otherwise, if I think about the fact that I'm recording I start focusing on that red light and stressing myself out. Pulls me completely out of the drumming headspace and then I make little mistakes. As always with music, I find everything is better if you just focus on and feel the music, rather than focusing on anything else.

[@fastfiddler1625]

Really doubt I'm much of a contributor, but I'm a violinist and airline pilot; two things that require frequent performance in front of an audience/examiner (the latter can result in failing to achieve the rating you want or losing your job (often every six months) - so... no pressure). The first time I ever played in front of peers, I had to go vomit in between songs. And now I can just bring out my fiddle and start playing for people and I crack jokes during a flight checkride when others clam up and get super serious/nervous. I really think it boils down to a few things. LOTS of just doing it (I think years of solo performances at school talent shows really prepared me for the other stuff). Being proficient and KNOWING that you are (this is just repeating what I did well yesterday). Having your affairs in order. If your mind is elsewhere, it isn't going to work. Meditation if you need to. Resolving the storming off argument from last night. You have to be at ease in the rest of your life. I get so damn nervous for any event in the before time. Butterflies, heart pounding. But as soon as I start, I get this feeling of, this is where I am supposed to be. I think I'm lucky I can do that so effectively. Of course this is just my thoughts on maybe what the answer might be. Between my two things, I'm still not as talented as Chris' left ear. PS, I usually know before the end of any first channel video if I'm going to subscribe. Yours wasn't an exception. I'm a 34 year old who's pretty good at the game Rock Band who wonders if I'm too old to learn drums, but damn it I love watching.
