Gordon Goodwin Big Phat Band - "The Incredibles" - Drum Cover

[@KenLoomer]

The Incredibles is an excellent Big Band rock chart in 5/4 that fits the sound of your drum set very well. Since you have dead sounding toms and bass drum, it has the studio drum sound I hear all the time. You studied the chart vey well and played it with with a good feel in that 5/4 time. I don`t get the costume or special effects for this video, but if it makes you happy, then it`s cool. Your way too good a drummer to do this Don. It should not be a cartoon video, but should be a video of an excellent drummer playing very well on a 5/4 rock Big Band chart. I wish the Big Phat Big Band would do a live recording. I like those the best. To much of a process sound in these studio recording. Listen to Jeff Hamilton-Clayton Live Big Band recordings which sound so much better. Or the old Buddy Rich Band Live recordings which sounds better than any of the studio ones today. Rich In London, Big Swing Face, Count Basie Live In Japan. That is why I love doing my live Big Band concerts and posting them for the people. Check this samba Big Band chart I did live kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3K0nX-NoJqpbMk only using the camera mic set up in the back of the hall and the band is powerful and sounding together. I never have a rehearsal with my Big Band. Just an hour before the show I will go over parts I think is needed and tell my musicians how I want it to be played. Just hire the best musicians you can and have fun playing it. You are the first super hero drummer I have seen. I`m sure you had fun doing it, so that is what counts the most. If I ever need a super hero drummer to fill in for me on one of my gigs, I will just call you Don.

Again Ken, I am flattered and happy to receive your comments. As far as my backgrounds, or costumes go, I am just trying to share something different then what you see everywhere else. There are millions of vids of guys on stage or in a room doing drum covers. I thought making my vids more interesting visually might help grow a better audience. The playing is always first and foremost the most important thing.At this point I have been playing in Oz for Wicked vids, in a cave for Raiders of the lost ark, In Birdland for Birdland, on the deck of the Enterprise for Star Trek and my most recent in Wonderland etc. It just gives my viewers more to watch then just me drumming. Your points are very well taken, and I thank you for your comments.

@@DonSandersonDrums You are an excellent drummer Don. I know little something about drumming. Best way to find out if this way of doing a cover drumming video with special effects is working is to see how many views you get. I would do one without the special effects, and do the same song with just you playing and find out which one people like better. I never do cover tune drumming video`s since I think the real test of a drummer is how well they play live with real musicians. That is why I post video`s of my live concerts so the people will know my real playing. Just my opinion. The best way for me to find out what people think of my drumming is to post a video and read the comments. This one video of a performance I did is an example kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqKZmWNpjLiWmas Of the hundreds of comments I got, all were positive which seems impossible. I was blown away with what people were saying about my performance. So I must of done something right and people just enjoyed my performance. Well this drummer enjoys your playing and maybe do more live video`s and I will be watching.
