Man, that bass drum sounds HUGE! Nice drumming as always, Earl!

[@earldrum]

Thanks for the feedback Myke! It’s a 14x22 Gretsch Kick with a D112e inside the drum and padding! I do use a UAD Neve 88 channel strip on the kick and SPL transient designer!

[@aronowaughful]

@@earldrum Although you did a great cover on this one, that comment was meant for Everybody's Talking At Me. Playing the brushes thru the whole song like that without missing a beat is pretty difficult.

[@earldrum]

@@aronowaughful well thank you again Joel! Doing a song like Everybody’s Talkin’ just takes a mind set that says I play for the song, not for the chop drummers approval. It’s about music for me … I love playing music! Thanks for noticing! 🙏🏻👍🏻🤘🏻😎
