nobody ever pays attention to the drummers in these covers but most of them, including this guy, are outstanding and absolutely deserve some attention.

[@NicholasBrendel]

I agree. This dude is playing "open handed". I can't do that. I have to cross my right hand over my left to play the hats. He is developing a far superior technique. Playing open handed has all kinds of advantages. I'm jealous.

[@P1NOU]

We all learnt playing cross hands maby it's for a reason. What​ does it add? I'm for real lol@@NicholasBrendel

[@NicholasBrendel]

@@P1NOU We learn cross handed because, if you're right handed, your strong hand is playing the hats and your weak hand is on snare. Generally, the hats is a technically harder pattern to play than the just back beat pattern on the snare. Like, when you switch to the ride you are still playing the same pattern with your right hand, but just a different cymbal. It's easier to learn to play the hats with your right hand. Like, that's the default. If you can play open handed like this dude in the video, you should be able to do both. Open handed way is harder to learn, because your playing the more difficult pattern with your left (weak) hand and the back beat with your right. If you can do both then you can play more interesting grooves and fills because not crossing hands means you should be able to move around the kit more efficiently. Now, I know someone is gonna say, "he's probably just left handed". That's fair enough, maybe he is. If your left handed, you have two options. You can set up your kit totally backwards with the hats on your right and floor tom and ride on your left. Most lefties don't do that; since you can never play someone else's kit without rebuilding the whole thing instead of just adjusting a few things for height and comfort. Also, if your a lefty you have the advantage of just naturally being open handed. A lefty just has to learn how to play the ride "backwards". A lot of famous drummers are actually lefties. Ringo was a lefty. It is said that has a lot to do with his unique sound.

He just showed up during the week and took his gear from our jam spot. I found out about it when I showed up for rehearsal and his shit was gone. "Oh...yeah....Louis left the band to join another that is already on the road to success" His first show was opening for Morbid Angel, so yeah, he made the right decision for himself and thats fine. It was when I saw him in the parking lot of our local mall and I wanted to say congrats on getting the gig, I started with "Hey man!...." and then he promptly looked the other way and blew me off like he was already making millions and I was one of the "little people". Wasnt like there was bad blood between us, we always got along but now that he's gotten a level of success he has the "too good to talk to you" attitude. I wish him all the best but as a result of his new manner Ill never pay to see his band play.
