Jason Bittner and Shadows Fall "Still I Rise" Hartford MAYHEM 7/24

[@shredmaster7558]

watched this a hundred times. still wondering how you made it look so easy, effortless.

[@Truemapexian]

@Jason Sir. I have been your follower since I started drumming. Your foot work and rythm patters are simple yet sound so complex and flashy. Keep drumming and the spirit alive. Love!!!

[@hearse610]

You are most definitely one of the best drummers of all time. IMHO

[@sleevz07]

Thanks Jason, definitely appreciate the reply. Gonna have some work ahead of me!

[@bigro4444]

A master at work.

[@anthonyn1312]

Did you use to play Tama drums, Evans drumhead, and Meinl cymbals before you endorse by Pearl drums, Remo drumhead, And Zildjian Cymbals?

[@sempthegreat]

Good enough answer for me. I definently think Zildjian is a great company. But in my opinion they lack innovation :). However, your choise of cymbals is interesting, and very well done.

[@RogierRJDonker]

this is not a why gear question. But... Jason with Evans you played the Power Center Reverse Dot and with Remo the CS. What's do you notice in sound and feel? I love both Evans and Remo btw. Have both heads ;)

[@sunlightofspirt]

In my mind this is how I’m drumming to heavy shit like SF. But In reality I’m like a 5 year old on the kit / steering wheel / etc.

[@jasonbittner]

@SuperNotNoob theres an instructional vid of this song actually - i think its on the Modern Drummer website go search it out

[@jasonbittner]

thanks much

[@sempthegreat]

Still wondering why you would make the switch from meinl to zildjian.

[@MikeJunior94]

bad ass drummer, how much would this set-up cost?

[@jasonbittner]

because Z's are more suited to what i want to hear nowadays from my cymbals!!! any sound I can think of- they can provide

[@SpartanCarver]

Will Meinl be discontinuing your Bell Blast ride? I was a big fan of that :/

[@sawyerbrodeur1931]

Insane I’m trying to learn that right now

[@jourdanramos]

Jason Bittner how do you get an acrilic kit to sound as good as this one? I know Tama makes a kick ass kit but ive noticed the toms and kick sounds flat on some. Is it the heads on the kit or is it just quality? As well excellent song man

[@jpjosepedro2645]

É o som.

[@zyonjasta]

Jason you rule man!!!

[@visualtimekeeper]

Awesome

[@bigro4444]

Best pre workout

[@jp3515]

hell ya jason, i love the ride u have, i wish i had money for 1 lol

[@sleevz07]

Jason is there a specific name for that fill at 1:50? Any tips on how to perfect it?

[@sunlightofspirt]

It’s just a triple fill. A bad ass one.

[@jasonbittner]

its a 'linear 6" fill...........linear means one limb hits at a time........the phrasing is RLRLKK - yes it can be done with one kick but as you play it fater it needs to be done with two - the way I play it right here is snare (R) tom 1 (L) floor 1 (R) tom 2 (L) kick 1 kick 2 your phrasing should be 1-2-3 4-5-6 or "Trip-a-let, trip-a let" start slow and slowly increase your speed as it gets more comfortable

[@asieslavidayeloquehay2975]

Eres el mejor jason

[@jasonbittner]

i know where you can find one.....

[@bigro4444]

Dream job!

[@WrathUponEden]

Heck yes!

[@aghamom]

its alternating toms n the kick. Portnoy does it alot.

[@qwertymofucka]

Jason Bittner and Nergal from Behemoth look alot alike

[@jasonbittner]

yes they did

[@aghamom]

I apologize,I must have heard wrongly.

[@jasonbittner]

actually it's not.......see below

[@jasonbittner]

yeah no kidding

[@jasonbittner]

its the same type of head, I just prefer Remo

[@StevenMcPeterbilt]

It was his decision, gear is just gear, why do people care so much.

[@jasonbittner]

silverstar is fine

[@jasonbittner]

hmm is that why I smell something?? ;-)
