Came here after watching your interview with drumeo... what a drummer and what a humble person... keep up the good work and inspiration for us all!

[@edenthedrummer]

Thanks so much!🙏🏻

[@vwdiver512]

SO GOOD!!! As a fellow drummer hearing your passion and playing motivate me to be a better drummer! Keep up the great work.

[@edenthedrummer]

Great to hear! Keep grooving.

[@TheDrummersVadeMecum]

I'm another one who has come here after your drumeo interview. As someone who does a fair bit of music theatre (some what related) and also teaches drums to some students at a circus school, its really valuable to get this look behind the scenes as well as the split scene aspect of what world class circus musicians have to do. Thanks for the insight. An area of drumming that is often over looked.

[@edenthedrummer]

I appreciate your kind words, and hope all the best for you my friend!

Best act in Kooza by a mile.

Just saw you perform live at my first Cirque show and I'm blown away by the whole thing and your drumming! Amazing work to you and the team in KOOZA!

Appreciate it🙏🏻

@@edenthedrummerAppreciate you! Hopefully I get to catch the show again in a few weeks!!

[@TheGeoffmcmullin]

Just keep up the great work! My wife and girls heard me but don’t quite understand your work as there’s so much going on in those shows.

[@edenthedrummer]

I appreciate that! Thank you so much my friend.

[@kerrysneed]

awesome grooves!!

[@edenthedrummer]

Thank you!!

[@TheGeoffmcmullin]

Amazing. I’m not a drummer, but I think I know when there’s a great drummer there. I was just at Cirque in Calgary and my highlight was the drum solo.

[@edenthedrummer]

Thank you, I appreciate your compliment and I’m super honored the drum solo was your highlight of the show!!

[@maceyhoffman7920]

Saw this performance in Montreal! You're an amazing drummer!!!

[@edenthedrummer]

Merci!!! 😊

[@maceyhoffman7920]

@@edenthedrummer How long do you practice drums for on the average day?

[@edenthedrummer]

@@maceyhoffman7920 depends! If we have one show I’ll practice anywhere between 2-3 hours, and if we have two or three shows a day I’ll just do my warmup routine which is about 30 min :)

[@maceyhoffman7920]

@@edenthedrummer Nice!

[@andrewrys8663]

Saw this Amazing show In Calgary I think it was around 2010. That act was amazing

[@edenthedrummer]

Yes, it is amazing!

[@andrewrys8663]

Yes I Remember you were Playing the Drums on the Bottom while the Rest was playing on the top part and at the end of the act you came out on a track you play your drums. I thought I pictured that at Cirque Du Soleil's kooza.

[@edenthedrummer]

@@andrewrys8663 That was a different drummer. I joined in 2019 :)

[@andrewrys8663]

Didn't know of that. You were Newer who Took over the Other Drummer. He was still very good too.

[@bensinger6637]

Billy Cobham chops!!

[@edenthedrummer]

Thank you! That’s a big compliment!

[@AlterOnDrums]

So much fun!

[@edenthedrummer]

Yup!!!

[@peterfichtner1]

What a fun job

[@edenthedrummer]

Indeed :)

[@mikkovaltonen3564]

Holy shit, this music SLAPS!! I'm a drummer/percussionist in music college at the moment and I'm going to audition for Cirque in the future. Any tips? What materials would you recommend to work on? You kick ass dude, cheers! :D

[@edenthedrummer]

I love that music too! First of all it's amazing that's your also a percussionist! I would recommend to work on your reading, improvisation, and to play and master as much as you can world music and different geners of music on the drums! And of course, don't ever give up🥁

[@mikkovaltonen3564]

@@edenthedrummer That's good to hear, I've got many good things cookin as of now. I'm the principal timpani in our University symphony orchestra, percussion player in our wind ensemble and salsa ensemble and I also play drums and percussion in our jazz orchestra, Top 40 group and jazz combo. And most importantly, my mama didn't raise a quitter :D Cheers dude, maybe we'll meet on the road sometime!

[@silvanadidonato1620]

J'adore la musique et surtout la batterie 🥁. J'ai eu chaud de te voir jouer avec ta batterie sans arrêt 🥵.

How, do you audition for This? Im a cruise ship drummer

[@edenthedrummer]

You will find all information on Cirque du Soleil website 🥁

@@edenthedrummer thank you much bro, ill give it a try, your very inspiring, i was looking for drummers doing this then I came across your vid, this sure is a dream. Is sight reading a must I mean true ace sight reading? Im a production drummer on board, I mean I read, but is it really intensive reading like big charts?
