Drumming Up A Beat With An 80's Pop Band
I had a gig drumming with the Musical Entertainment System, an 80's Pop band. Think of the soundtrack to The Breakfast Club or any John Hughes movie from the 80s.
It's a ton of fun! The best part is playing great pop grooves with my friends.
Bring your big hair, neon shirts, and dancing shoes, and hang with me on gig day!

A Nighttime Harley Motovlog // Let's Ride! 🤘
Переглядів 170Рік тому
#motovlog #harleydavidson #nosmallcreater I was too excited about how the audio test ride on my Harley went to leave it on my hard drive, so I turned it into a motovlog! It's a talking head video without a head. I fell in love (again) with riding my Harley-Davidson Road King last year and went deep into the motovlogging rabbit hole over the winter. I'm hooked and can't wait to take some adventu...

We decided VLOG a day in the life of a volunteer and how I may (or may not) get some of my home chores done. :) And oh, Jorie should have been driving last Sunday, but wasn't.

Fight The Winter Blues // How to Not Hate Winter VLOG
Переглядів 1812 роки тому
The winter blues is a real thing! I have hated winter for a long time, and it's always a fight to get over the winter blues! However, I realized while making this video that changing my mindset can not only make me happier; it's how I was able to fight the winter blues and learn to LOVE winter (again). This was the 2nd video I made for Casey Neistat's Filmmaking & Storytelling class. It was a b...
Visiting The Glen Art Classic Theatre // At The Movies VLOG
Переглядів 2532 роки тому
My first project in Casey Neistat's Filmmaking & Storytelling class was to find something interesting in my neighborhood as a subject for a quick video. The Glen Art Theatre was an easy choice! The Glen was built in the 1920s and has stood the test of time. But, despite it being very close to my house, I hadn't been there in many years. So I thought this would be the perfect chance to watch a m...
FIRST SNOWFALL OF THE WINTER!!! ❄️ 12/28/2021

We woke up to our FIRST SNOW of the season, where it actually stuck to the ground. I'm not going to lie. I'm not usually a fan of winter, but this was beautiful! What a nice way to end 2021. Enjoy!

Love in a Bowl // Cooking with Marley Spoon VLOG
Переглядів 1142 роки тому
Most of my day is spent sitting at my desk. A perk of working from home is that I get to start cooking right when I'm done. I think about dinner for most of the day. 😂 We've been enjoying the meal kits from Martha & Marley Spoon. They have been game-changers for us and have opened us up to all sorts of new recipes! Here is the Indian Butter Chicken with Cauliflower Rice from Martha & Marley Spo...
We saw the 1966 BATMOBILE! // Volo Auto Museum VLOG
Переглядів 2802 роки тому
Chloe and I went on an adventure and got to see the 1966 Batmobile from the Batman series starring Adam West and Burt Ward! I grew up loving this version of the Batmobile, and it was a dream to see it in person. Outside of Chicago, IL, the Volo Auto Museum has more than 33 different exhibits ranging from classic cars to famous movie/TV cars. It's definitely something that requires more than one...
Let's Ride the Harley! #SoloReflectionBrollChallenge from @Lila
Переглядів 2803 роки тому
Let's RIDE the Harley! 🤘 One of my favorite online teachers that knows all things Adobe, @Lila, challenged us to create a b-roll sequence that contains reflections of some sort. It appears that challenges are what get my creative juices flowing, and my Harley has plenty of reflections... so here is my attempt. One of the rules was that the video had to be shot and edited by me with no outside h...
My Cheap RGB Smart Lights // WiZ Connected Tour
Переглядів 1 тис.3 роки тому
I'm late to the party with RGB smart lights. After lots of research and not wanting to break the bank, I settled in on the WiZ Connected WiFi-enabled RGB LED smart bulbs by Phillips. While they lack some of the quality of the Phillips HUE bulbs, I've found them to be a great alternative and a great way to get my feet wet in the world of smart tech for cheap. In this video, I will give you a qui...

Hello! there. I saw your videos and was impressed by the quality of your content. However, after analysis, I noticed there needs to be improvement for getting more views and subscribers. You are working hard but the main motive to reach an exact audience is not fulfilled. You are working for your audience if the video can't reach them. That's a waste of your energy and time also. I will show the problem in your video and share how to fix it. Only say ‘yes’ if you want to grow your channel.
Great Job Chris! I love that you have a beginning and ending, this would be a great way to document your band. Super surprised at how good the action 4 did in low light. I watched it on the phone and it looks fantastic. You’re sweet on the drums man!
@@jostalking Thanks for all the kind words! They mean a lot coming from you! The Osmo Action 4 is a beast. Thanks for the recommendation! ✌️ I appreciate you.
In the air tonight - soooooo good! I loved that part ♥️
@@GinaWalters1 Thank you! That song is iconic and so fun to play!
The shirt is super cool!
@@GinaWalters1 ❤️
Shut up!!!! A whole video! I’m so excited for this!
@@GinaWalters1 GINA!!! I'm excited that you're excited!
bam bam...bam bam...bam bam...bam bam...boom boom I've been waiting for this moment for all my life Hi Chris!! This thing is edited awesome - loved the hilarious guy with the piano guitar. Looks like a fun bunch who all had a blast. Good stuff man!!
@@iceicegoalie-OG thanks, Chris!!! They are a great bunch. Happy belated Birthday!
Thanks for letting us hangout with you for the day😀 loved it bro🤟🏽
@@sethliptak any time with you, even virtually, is a good time! 🫶
THAT TRANSITION !!
@@sethliptak I thought you'd like that!
Great Job Chris ! Keep on Keepin' on 🤘
@denselman Thanks, Drew!
Need to get out to one of your gigs again sometime soon
I'll be there! 🤘
We are getting the 2018 vlog squad back together!!
@KostasLazanas Yeah, we are! And it's so much fun! Great to see you back at it as well!
Nice jams buddy!!
@@LawlessLures Thanks, Sean! 🤘
@@cwTheDrummist how does that DJI compare to GoPro?
@@LawlessLures No comparison. It blows the GoPro out of the water, in my opinion, based on reliability, battery life, and quality. I want to get a second one as soon as I can.
Looking forward to the next one already!!
@@JackStolz thanks, Jack! So good to see you here! Miss you, buddy!
Woah you guys rocked it!! Sounding great.
@@JackStolz big words coming from you, my friend! 🫶
Is that Jack Stolz alive in the comment section! I’m missing your art man!!
@@KostasLazanas you know it!! Bro I’ve been seeing a new boat in your possession so I’ll be catching up on that content asap!!! I’ll get back into making vids sometime… might just be a little bit!! Haha
@@JackStolz Seeing new video notifications from you makes my day. @KostasLazanas has been killing it with the content.
Awesome transition out of the gas station!!
@@JackStolz Thanks, Jack! That was a fun one!

Hi Chris, your video was nice but why did you stop uploading videos?
Life, work, and other commitments have pushed posting back for now, but I miss it! I'm always shooting and riding. I'm looking forward to getting back at it soon. Thanks for watching and for the kind words!
Gosh I hate winter! I'm convinced I got to go sledding now.
@NerdyLocal Definitely go! It changes everything! 😎 Thanks for watching!

That drummer looks like a very happy man up there!
HaHa! He is! Thanks, friend!
Man, those guys look cool
They are cool!
you two look like you're truly in love, what a sweet video
Awe... thanks, Jo! I hope all is well in empty nest land!
Chris this was fun to follow along. Congrats on re-igniting your moto passion. I’m a lifelong rider, love drones & started learning to drum recently.
@TedNemeth That's so cool! I love all the things you mentioned. Good luck with the drums! As I like to say... hitting things with sticks is very therapeutic. 🤘 I'm going up to Wisconsin on the Harley this weekend, and I plan to implement some of the drone magic I learned from you today on your channel. Thanks for stopping by! 😎
I CARE! More than anyone else too.
I know you do! You're the best, Richie!
Here's a link to the motovlog! ua-cam.com/video/RaBWw0Deg7c/v-deo.html
Chris - nice ride. Just found your channel. Enjoy your content. Ride safe. New sub
@ScottUrbach - Thanks, Scott! Glad I found you today. It looks like we have a lot in common... Road King Classics, Long Beards, and love for night rides! 😎
Just finished watching this on my lunch break, what a pleasant surprise getting to hangout with you while I eat lunch today! You mixed the sound of your voice with the sound of the motorcycle PERFECTLY! Can’t wait for a full blown vlog with the insta 360 and the drone! Also looking forward to hearing what it sounds like when you’re able to get zippy and really push that bike😈
@sethliptak4907... thanks, man! That means a lot. Glad we could spend lunch together. And yes... I can't wait to get ZIPPY!
“I think this is gonna be a lot of fun” this is your quote. What you anticipate for the upcoming summer, riding your bike. I love it. It’s gonna be a lot of fun…. We need more of that in this life.
Last year's theme word was gratitude. This year, it's intentionality. I have plans. Now I need to do.
“Fell back in love with motorcycling! “ I love it.
Me too! ❤️ BTW... it felt great to finally hit PUBLISH! :)
My husband had in the early time a BMW BSA AND A SUSUKI CHRIS~HE WAS A MOTOR FREAK HAVE A NICE TIME ON MONDAY LG LOES!

Big old jars of love! (nice tight edit, loved it) 👋🇨🇦

Love this one with your daughter. My daughter is also on the college hunt. Such a fun journey. Great day in the life of Chris.
Thanks, Jan! Exciting times for sure! My daughter has since made her choice and it was a good one!
Wow 🤩 Loved that first shot with the bike reflecting on the glasses and the last shot! Great video man!!!
Thanks, Ruben! I think it’s time to make some motovlogs. 🤔😎
Excellent video, wish I could make this on my channel! That's why I subscribed, jealous, keep up the quality content! You got a new fan, greetings from Denmark
