[@torylelandkirgiss]

I WANT BOTH OF THOSE RIDE CYMBALS

[@antibulletdodger101]

What a fantastic personality

[@drums4praise]

VERY helpful video!

[@Beauxdeauxfinglok]

God damn, that ride cymbal... I had a teacher once who lent me his flat ride to mess around with for a weekend... Only cymbal I've played that seemed to have a genuine volume knob built into it. The dynamic control was so outside of it that I felt cheated playing on my ol' trash can lid afterward.

[@lizapmarquez]

hi tommy thanks for sharing your talen GOD bless you more and more

[@tiekoe]

you don't.. you don't do that! i lol'd

[@fastatlearninstuff]

i agree, drums saved my life

[@outremer79]

that yawn, is the funniest thing ever to be a part of an instructional!!! hahaha.. tommy's a wonderful drummer, teacher and musician.

[@lileulileu]

Very Cool!!!

[@KINGOFSWING711]

Yeah that's a constantinople flat ride. I have one. They're awesome.

[@sticksbangskins]

is it just me or does it sound like he is telling us off at 2:07 hahaha

[@DuNordavind]

For the good of everyone, I agree.

[@TapatioDrummer]

another good advice will be " keep your hands dry " after a 4 minute song I got my hands all sweaty

[@easonsiu]

@nintendorox5 it's the Zildjian K custom special dry ride

[@Gabopercu]

Hahahahaha genius xD

[@tdougs77]

I think It's just to show It's a valued practice tool! Not everyone has the pleasure of a full acoustic kit at home. That's just my thought I could be wrong.

[@MUSICTEACHER2012]

e drums are great for practicing if you don't have a place for a drumset. And good for hooking up to your computer and composing stuff.

[@bjorksven]

I don't know why, but I feel that it would be cool to hear some kind of break beat by Jojo Mayer played to that tune in the end. Not that the jazz stuff isn't great, Igoe is an amazing drummer, but I just visualized it in my head :P

[@resovoirdog100]

drivin beat baby

[@ettorefritz]

this guy's the shit

[@brettorrmusic]

I just can't think that fast. ...and I can think really fast. ;)

[@nanopola]

@nintendorox5 i think ur talking about the zildjian k constantinople 22 inch flat ride

[@Mxlandry]

@angusbeefoo lol I agree

[@moedraking]

im not a fan from jazz but this great =O

[@CtrlAltDaLEET]

always on 2 and 4 if you listen closely

[@riddletha]

When you play swing on a ride, pls move your arms! play accents on 2 and 4 with help from your arm, starting from your elbow. Then it sounds more rolling.

[@ryandrumcovers]

id like to see travis barker try to keep up with tommy here :P

[@alainpinsotes4844]

does anyone have a transcription of groove 79?

[@MUSICTEACHER2012]

i have a hard time placing the hi hat on 2 and 4. I always end up on 1 and 3???????

[@kimmin1208]

@easonsiu Zildjian K Custom Special Dry Ride cymbals do not have flat tops.

[@mcufre]

he is great, now i dont get the vdrum thing, why play each groove with a vkit also? i can only thing of advertising the rolands.

[@3SevenStangVids]

This guy looks like keith carlock from every angle but the front.

[@steffy597]

Does it look like I'm working hard....LMAO

[@jonboo]

pretty sure hes talking bout bill cosbys bit on drumming with sonny stit. look it up on youtube. hilarious.

[@Moog168]

@zzzzzushi He switched to Yamaha recently...

[@IzzM3]

Does anyone hear the Left Hi-hat click on the 1?

[@crimsonkng1]

I suck. I suck. I totally suck.

[@tdrum21]

What kind of ride is that?

[@MUSICTEACHER2012]

[@angeriod]

[@jts024]
