This is my favourite so far (I think) of the endless McLean playlist. Incredible bass, snare, hats and ride + indispensable grooves AND little giveaway of the the one-handed 5 stroke roll at 0:44. MUSIC

[@omegalamda3145]

It’s excellent and rare to watch a drummer w great pulse ‘ musical and seems to allow the attack on each stroke time to evolve through its full series of harmonic decay. Allowing the soul to sing out its complete expression in the chosen art form. Bravo-well done.

[@Ohm51]

Killer playing. That snare is tuned perfectly ... I had one of these back in the day but lost it in a strange confluence of gear left in a rehearsal venue back in the 90's .. but I never achieved that sort of crack from mine that i recall. The bass drum is impressive (as expected) and your ability to play it without any porting is equally noteworthy ... big kicks have the tendency of beater chatter and slapback with every stroke if you dont play clean. The star of the show equipment-wise however is that ride cymbal ... which just kills. Is that the 26" AGOP Istanbul shown in another video, or an entirely different cymbal?

[@howarddelosreyes463]

That stroke at 2:24 is to die for

[@keithmounts1305]

King of dynamics!!!

[@TheCarribeanCat]

that snare is juicy but i'm not sure i know a single drummer that would ever want a bass drum that big lmao usually we use fairly small ones specifically because they're quieter and take up less space in the frequency range of the bass player

Not gunna lie, but it’d be great if you had detailed descriptions of each drum and cymbal used in these videos. Like I’m wondering if that’s a 24” ride. Lol. Seriously, it’d be great if you added that info to each video’s descriptions.

[@m4drums]

@@jeromeduffy9270 in the video he is using two amazing tunings - tight, high tension tuning and lower, sort of in the middle like, regular tuning, i.e. less tight. first he tuned it and then took a take and then tuned it the other way, to played with a totall different snare sound. Also, depends how he hits that bass drum - obviously less sustain 2 almost none if you leave the beater on the skin. As for playing - absolutly amaizing MUSICIAN, playing music on the drum set. I jast heard a couple of videos and immediately subscribed, and hit that Bell in order to get everything what he does - this is my favorite approach of what he's doing! Sorry for too much words - my English is not perfect :)
