HOLY FUCKIN' SHIT! Guys. Guys? Guys! *GUYS?!* I'm crazy excited right now. Daughters Of Mara are quite possibly one of my favorite alternative metal bands of all time, and it was a tragedy that they never even had a chance to properly release I Am Destroyer. It's such an amazing album full of raw emotion and musical talent from all involved. Shawn birthed the band and it's been great to see that he's slowly worked on new songs over the years on his own. He's shown off a few tracks in that time, and I love them. The three songs they played here are all new tracks I believe.
I never thought I'd see these guys together again, let alone actually jam out some of those new tunes. I'm so hyped and I wanna believe this might mean they're considering reuniting and working on *NEW MUSIC* officially! But, I'm trying to chill out. That's a dream, though, seriously. I still spin I Am Destroyer all the time. These dudes deserve a second chance, under a better label/management. They're all so talented separately, and together they take it to new heights. So, I'll try and be cautiously optimistic that I might see *Daughters Of Mara back officially* in the future, and if not, I'm real stoked that I got to at least see these guys together jamming out some DOM songs Shawn came up with. Feels like old times. Thanks, dudes.
I can't believe I'm just now seeing this. This is fuckin fire!
His smile when Dave hits his True Cast with the rock stick = priceless
Beyond stoked to not only hear more from Elitch but to also see him reunited with Daughters of Mara. These guys NEED to reform; their debut is easily THE best hard rock album of the mid 200's (I know it was re-released in 2018, but I have the original 2007 masters and it would've been an absolute game-changer had it came out when it should've). Amazing work all around, dudes!
Daughters of Mara need to fully reunite and go on tour with Alter Bridge.
I hope you realize how full circle that would actually be. For those that don't. Daughter's only toured once, opening for Alter Bridge. Something they did, without even having a record released yet.
That’s exactly why I said.
Yes, please. I hope Shawn sees there's still a lot of love for Daughters Of Mara. This bands deserves a second chance at life.
@@thegameslave2 That was never in question. Without going into a ton of stuff it's probably not ok for me to talk about anyways. I'll just say, everyone involved always knew how good it was, believed in it. But the music industry was shitty and soulless back then, and it's even worse now.
@@cerebrix Yea, but it's also even easier to put out music yourself nowadays. Shawn started this as his own project anyway, before he brought everyone else in, and I know at least one of the songs they played were made in a similar way. My point is that they could still potentially have a better go of it this time, if they got back together.
Frankly, I'm annoyed I can't listen to Daughters of Mara on spotify.
These songs kick ass! Come on boys sort it out!
Same here, they used to be on spotify before, now its gone
Omfg, DOM in a room together again! I'm fangirling hard. Please tell me there will be more.
Snare on 1000%. My lord. Love it.
one of My top 3 all time bands. FUCKING DAUGHTERS OF MARA!!! Love this so much. Erock, the Zuz, and Elitch...what more could you ask for!
Man, that singer kicks asses, wow
Dave has totally transformed the way I look and try to play drums. I had no clue about many things that were wrong with my playing . It's a ton of work now, but I have a direction now and I thank Dave for that!
Solo at the end was so good on so many lvls 👏👏👏
Fuck me, DOM together again!!! Fav of all times. This truly made my day🤘🏽
I’m gonna sound like a groupie, but if you ever read this, I still have your old guitar and VHT Shawn, wouldn’t change it for anything!
Superb video all round! Thank you Dave and Vic Firth 👏
Thank you Dave Elitch and Vic Firth
Daughters of Mara HOLY SHIT!!! Please tell me yall are back together
So excited to see this today! 🔥🔥 Thank you Erock for sharing on fb! You guys are all masters of your crafts! Awesome to hear Shawn killing it again! 🤯
Preach it, bro!
Great Drummer, Person and Teacher! Grooves very much considering many aspects. The songs are perfect in time, groove, lyrics..awesome!!
As always fantastic important education from Dave, the guy changed my life with pursing the Alexander technique and his healthy use of body and mind. Thanks Dave i owe alot.
Dave dropping absolute gems. What a guy 🙌🏼🥁
Dave has taught me so much, it's always great to hear his insights.
Ok so where did these awesome DOM songs come from?? Will they be released??
Their record label pulled all their work from distribution a number years ago (it was Virgin Records in 2007 I believe). They might be on UA-cam?
Pretty sure of the current 2k views of this, about half of those are mine. I’m so beyond excited to see DOM together sounding as tight as ever! What chemistry you guys have. 🖤
Also, I learned about some different drumsticks, so thats cool too. Thanks Vic Firth and Dave! #themoreyouknow #5B 😂
I'm getting goosbumps watching these dudes fucking murder it. The new songs sound incredible, tighter than ever.. DoM!!!
Vic Firth make the best sticks by far. The perfect pair is no exaggeration! Going to try the jump-rope warmup also.
Thoroughly enjoyed this!
Brilliant!
This is so awesome to see!
LOVE IT!
Omg pure gold!!!
Hi Dave! From Québec, Canada. Your many videos inspire me to always double check that I'm not "End Goaling". Very cool concept that eventually makes drumming more natural, really.
Amazing solo at the end! Powerful. Melodic. Nuanced. Sick transition into that hi-hat splashing section.
Wow this was fantastic and having performances from DOM was really cool! Ever since I found out about Dave about 3 years ago I’ve purchased his course and I follow just about everything that he does. There are some good teachers out there in the social media land that you definitely can learn from and I follow them as well. Dave’s approach sets worlds apart from the others! In my opinion he’s the Vinnie Colaiuta of instructors out there! He blends in on whatever he is playing and is just a huge inspiration on and off of the drums. Kids today have access to this education and if they’re not taking advantage of it shame on them. If they are wasting time on Drumeo instead of reaching out to Dave and/or buying his course they are just screwing themselves in the long run. Thanks to Vic Firth and Dave Elitch for giving everyone an opportunity to get a taste of what is out there for real drum education and not some bs snake oil program that will get you nowhere fast. I’ll be switching back to Vic Firth sticks again, the stick company I use now does nothing like this and puts too much energy into drummers that really have no career to follow except social media. 👍🏻🤙🏻
Fuckin awesome. So glad to hear new DOM. Solo at the end was insane!!!
Let’s dooooo this!!
I wish I could get 5B heavies. I’ve never seen the option on any site I order from and I think that might be something only available to artists with a VF rep. That’s why I usually buy Meinl 5B standards, they tend to be better pitch matched and denser feeling, and I don’t even play the cymbals. *Cough cough, subtle but adamant suggestion for the team over at VF, I miss playing your sticks but QC has drastically dropped ever since the Zildjian buyout, if I’m keeping it one hundy*
Thank you
legend
They sound like he is legend
This was awesome!! Thanks Dave and Vic !! Also definitely check out Dave's course: "Getting Out Of Your Own Way", it's a game changer!!
Got damn!!
His explanations >>
Man, seeing Daughters Of Mara back together playing in the same room makes 17 year old me fucking STOKED. Still pissed “I Am Destroyer” disappeared off the face of the earth. Virgin Records is dead to me for that.
Do one of these with matt garstka!
😎👍💗🇺🇸🥁 TRUE CAST!!!
What was your Sabian cymblas set up, and Size if you remember? Thx!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👂👂👂👂
The taper on the ROCK model is actually short; 2B & 5B have medium tapers.
Whats his drum throne? Does anyone know?
Dw 5000 saddle top I believe, I have seen him recommend these on Instagram q&a
I want a 2B with a barrell tip.
That the dream tour .. DOM and HIL!
*hits drum* ..”it’s a completely different ball game” …what?
Bill Burr sucks since jamming with you...correlation/ causation?! XD
Hypocrite much? @20:55
Don't use a different size stick, use a different size stick...
Also in terms of "not relaxing" when he splaying the solo at the end, you can clearly see the muscles in the neck protruding and tensing.
His jaw was literally stuck in one positiion... how is that relaxing?!
When you're actually playing music with a band or emotively soloing, you're going to your body in an unhealthy way - hopefully only occasionally. What's important is to know how it feels to use your body healthily so you can catch yourself and fix it in real time.
In terms of the stick - he's suggesting to use a heavier stick in conjugation with healthier playing to produce a bigger sound. *Not* to use a heavier stick to workout your muscles in order to play faster.
