Taking Inspiration From Your Favorite Beats | Sound Advice

[@imanolnietodrums]

This is for me, one of the best drumming videos of the last years…we need more of this and less from people trying to get views playing the same things and trying to get our attention with marketing techniques… We need more real music on internet. Thanks Femi and thanks Evans.

You could take a clip of the first few minutes of this video and that’s all you need. At the age of 29, I’ve amassed all this drumming vocabulary and have all my favorite drummers. But I’m finally at the point where I’m learning how to sound like MYSELF.

Love that bass drum sound, really glad to see that Damon always has great live drummers in gorillaz, like Cass Browne, Gabe Wallace and Femi.

@femikk - and you a one of my new heroes after seeing you a few times with Ezra collective in Berlin 🙇🏽 my first drummer I was totally crazy for was Will Calhoun from living color. I always had some pleasure to hang out with Omar Hakim because we work together at Anaheim at Namm show and I was preparing like electronic drum kit together with him programming his sounds One of my big-time heroes, and we even met some private lessons together. I’m also some kind of professional half professional drummer playing what you said the German techno house live mixed with funky grooves and prodigy style punk attitude, complete crazy mix that works on stage and techno festivals😂

+evansdrumheads *For **_my_** percussion style, I've taken riff elements from the late Neal Peart (Rush), Gil Moore (Triumph), Steve Smith (various bands), and others whose names escape me as of 4 May 2022.* In my judgment, some of the songs of former Atlantic/WMG, SBK/EMI and current SONY recording artist - and our fellow KZbinr - Debbie Gibson (ASCAP) _really_ needed different approaches to arrangements: "Only in My Dreams" would have taken a U2-esque approach, complete with surround-sound Leslie guitar au "The Edge"; I think to this day that Emilio García of Foreign Imported Productions _should_ have had a crack at "Shake Your Love," given his experience with the Miami Sound Machine; a Triumph-esque approach to "Out of the Blue" and "We Could Be Together" (concerning the latter: Triumph x Grand Funk Railroad?) would have been appropriate; and I saw an appropriate Les Binks riff from: *BEYOND THE REALMS OF DEATH / JUDAS PRIEST* (CBS/SONY album 82430 _Stained Class,_ track 8) ( James Leslie Binks / Robert John Arthur Halford ) Arnakata Music Ltd., MCPS-PRS that would fit "Foolish Beat" to a Q; "Lead Them Home My Dreams" was rather appropriate for Rush to back Debs; and "Shock Your Mama," co-written with Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers, was a shoe-in for an arrangement consistent with The Time, a Black ensemble actually produced by Prince Rogers Nelson (BMI) under a pseudonym.

I've always think this way. You don't have to sound nor play like someone. If you play for that, you are not going anywhere.
