    Thanks a lot David, Tried your "Signature Lick" on a gig last night and GOT FIRED! You didn't say anything about NOT using it on ballads! I hope you're happy now!

    David, you have a tremendous gift for not only playing the drums beautifully at an advanced level, but you have a wonderful enthusiasm and charisma that is the greatest gift of all. You can teach someone lots of things, but that natural charisma is one thing that can't be taught. I have been playing drums professionally for 40 years and have been around the block a few times. You are right up there with the big dudes. Your marketing skills and videos are excellent and you have a really great love for the instrument that really comes through...again...that enthusiasm. Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences with the world. Bravo, Paisano!

    Great lesson, David! Very tasty stuff. I'm self taught, and though I've been playing for 35-ish years (in multiple groove rock, metal, punk and pop bands)... I've never really figured out how drummers get those super fast, tasty rolls. I usually rely on double bass quad fills to do the trick. It's effective... but it's limited, and can be a little boring after a while. What's funny is... Chris Adler from Lamb of God uses quad rolls almost exclusively, and he's one of the best, popular metal drummers around. So there's some credence to this technique in this genre. However... having something like this in my arsenal (if I can actually execute it at my age) would be fantastic. Thank you!
