Oh my god dude I feel you on the small studio situation-your footage of getting into and out of your drum throne is exactly what I look like in my studio too. Looking forward to your new studio rebuilding video!!

Your journey has been super fun to watch, and I'm so excited to see all the amazing things you continue to do with it. Thanks for sharing it with us! And being so inspiring.

[@SwordCymbal79]

I’m actually thankful for the videos in that cramped space. I have serious ocd/anxiety, and starting playing drums at 40 as a form of therapy. Seeing your stands and other stuff bounce, jiggle and twerk around has helped me get out of my comfort zone. I doubt I’ll ever have chops like yours, but playing drums has strengthened me inside&out. Keep up the great content and I would love to see a destruction/construction Timelapse of your old setup and new. Do it!

[@Dallemations]

I've been to Sweetwater before. my aunt and uncle live about 40 minutes from it and it was awesome! it has a music store (of course) and when you walk in it has an original beetles van. it also has a cool music studio, a large cafeteria. and a very BIG warehouse. overall, I recommend to everyone to go there

Honestly, great vlog Zack and Nathan! Y'all deserve alllll dat fun and experiences. 20 minute vlog didn't feel short at all, the video is so packed full of your experience and felt like we were there the whole time, meanwhile it was only 20 minutes. Editing/filming well done; we need more of them vlogs big boys!

Those Adoro Silent Sticks you show in minute 15:00 are incredible. Very light making the drums quiet, yet still stick feel&sound.

[@willtogs]

You really make me inspired to practice more! Although the style of drumming I hear from you isn't something I can use in my band and style of playing, the ability to just be able to do this inspires me to put more effort into my drumming journey, so thanks :DD

[@br1an_b]

Hahaha I thoroughly enjoyed the goofs in this video. You got to see tons of cool sh🥁t! One thing I think your videos need in general is more consistent volume matching between sections so that the dialogue from different clips, and music at various moments, is all at more or less the same level. There are still moments where the audio gets MUCH louder or softer, which throws me for a loop. I still really enjoy your content and your personality-thanks for putting out such fun, ever higher-quality videos! ✌🏻

How have I not come across your content before?? Maaayybeee like once? A LONG TIME AGO??? Anywho...dude, how could you be so dang BLESSED to get invited PERSONALLY, to the heavenly Sweetwater HQ?!?! That place would have me wanting to live there for forever!!! LOL...ok, maybe not live there, but I sure as heck would be there like once a week. Here where I live, on the Eastern side of WA, we don't have much of anything special in the way of music stores. That famous chain, with the Stringed Instrument name doesn't suffice for a music producer, well at least our location. They downsized the store and it feels like it's hardly got room for merchandise on the sales floor. I miss going to Sam Ash music store back home in Southern California!!! Anywho, wow...you are one hell of a drummer and I gotta start watching your old content cus I could just sit here and listen to you play, especially since I heard nice fast Fusion Jazz...You stay oh so dang blessed!!!
