[@jocquidixonmusicproduction988]

How many times are yall going to post this ? lol i watch everyone uploaded everytime

[@VicFirthCompany]

We post the multi-cam video first, and then follow-up with the transcription video as well as the drums-only video. Each one is different!

[@zidonhibbert9940]

Yow man hes great...he's not normal

[@mauricioaleman7705]

Capo Soop Dog! No sabia que tocaba la bata...

[@Pyete]

Is there still a drumless version?

[@dacltaomilhao]

at 4:48 you enjoy one of the best soils in the world

[@ricardolomeli7043]

Someone help! I am ripping my hair out trying to figure this out... He uses the top right pad (#3) to turn on a clap sound on the ext. trigger attached to his snare... very obvious if you look at these two moments: ON at 4:18, OFF at 4:49... how do you do that?! Like, how do you set that up on the Roland SPD-SX? That would be HUGELY helpful for a band I am in but I am a bit tech-inept, new to this stuff... hope someone answers this call!

[@benjamincentgraf3222]

if it's still actual ,just let me know, I can show you!

[@ASTRO_NAUTIKAL]

when the sound man asks to mic your set play at 70%

[@FreeHuman1997]

What hi hats Devon uses on this video? Obviously Zildjian K, but which model I couldn’t find out

[@DhirenKhiaraofficial]

Can anyone help me out by telling me from where can I get those trigger samples that he used on that spd sx ? Thanks :)

[@GradiWasemo]

i'm searching for those too

[@Chain_Star_Productions]

There just a basic trap beat kit ud find in any rap song nowadays. Hi hat and hand clap maybe layed or with preset fx added 4 enhancement

[@travis0926]

What are those drums called

[@jaydixon32]

What stack is he using?

[@fabiomartins2101]

💃🖒👏👏👏👌🤘

[@benadek6703]

What kind of kick pedal is that ?

[@antoinetteowens3475]

Devon Taylor makes the list of my most favorite drummers... drummer with Justin Biebers' band... wtf!

[@dhouchins7]

What kind of Remo drum head is being used on the snare?

[@GradiWasemo]

Remo controlled sound coated

[@marcdedouvan]

[@keithjohnson7967]

this sounds like something the great John Blackwell played a while ago!

[@Ted_Swayinghill]

It is that Minneapolis Funk/Prince sound.

[@chaddavis5787]

What drum heads were he using? Anyone?

[@GradiWasemo]

remo coated controlled sound on snare remo emperor coated on little snare i'm not sure but i think the powerstrokes 4 on toms and bassdrum

[@chaddavis5787]

GREEZYDRUMS_ thanks !!! Controlled sound x or regular?

[@GradiWasemo]

@@chaddavis5787 the controlled sound x

[@chaddavis5787]

GREEZYDRUMS_ The is really no way to tell rather it’s a x or regular is there ? I know it sound good though. I ordered the snare and just want a head that will give the exact same sound that he has

[@andrewmoynihan9153]

(Yet.

[@guervan]

Such an amazing drummer !! He deserve so much better than playing with Justin beiber !

[@frankspikes4867]

Music is a business. I've taken gigs that I didn't want to take. As a pro, semi pro ( I work a 9-5) even if you don't care for the artists work, take the gig, build your resume, and collect your pay. For example I don't like country music. But if Billy Ray Cyrus contacted me, and said I need a drummer are you available. I'm asking, where do i audition. How much does it pay? How many dates is the band playing, and what's the duration.

[@stevejpm1]

Very impressive But can he play waltz time.

[@ofordileonochie1448]

Gbagam

Amazing drummer, but you can't hear half of what he's doing over the rest of the music. Boo to the sound tech who set this up!

[@KFGNOE]

snoop dog does a great job on the drums

[@KFGNOE]
