from drummer to drummer, you seriously have been one of the people who has inspired me the most through my drum journey. i’m going on 3 years playing drums, and it’s nice to watch someone who is so good at something be a super dope person, keep up the good work man, you’re going far

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.

TWENTY MINUTES OF FOOTAGE FROM THIS JUICY MAN?!?!?!?!

[@MrVidposter101]

This is fucking incredible. Congrats man, you’re really making it happen!!!!

[@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!

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

[@scrooky]

I love how we just got a tour of friggen floors

[@nils1]

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

[@Jordan-cz5hc]

I would absolutely love to see a rebuilding process! You've come so far man, thanks for making such quality, entertaining drummingvideos.

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!

[@guilhermecaran3363]

Great video Zack! As a proud owner of a DTX-10K myself it would be really nice to see you druming and producing more on electronic kits!

Incredible content my dude! It's incredible seeing your channel grow, you really add a spin on drum channels with your humor. You will be on the biggest drum content creators one day!

[@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! ✌🏻

I definitely don’t appreciate it as much as I should living 40 minutes away from Sweetwater. The owner chuck surack is probably one of the coolest dudes you will meet, he runs his own jazz band at the club room in Fort Wayne. He’s a fellow sax player and plays in the Sweetwater Allstars and is such a down to earth guy. I’ve been fortunate enough to talk with him personally and was just amazed.

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!!!
