Incredible drums! Incredible drumming! Steve, get this boy something to eat! He earned it!

[@noahice]

Thank you, we’re eatin’ good today! 💪🏼

[@ivorjones9961]

Absolutely beautiful drums! Thanks Noah for channeling JHB!

[@elithepitbulldog2209]

That re hammered A Zildjian 💥

[@rhythmista7707]

Possibly the nicest finish from that era that Ludwig ever produced, as well as sky blue pearl. Id like to see Ludwig bring back both blue and black bowling ball oyster finishes. They'd have instant success with those.

Noah and Brian blade - two players I'd pay to hear them play a solo drum concert...

[@noahice]

The only pay I request - take me with to the Brian Blade set! He’s one of my favorites too ✌🏼

[@steverichdrummr]

Nice job Noah! I loved the Zeplinn-"esque" groove at around 5:10, how apropos!

[@noahice]

Paying homage to a legend between that and the tree trunk I pulled from my bag at 2:30 - gotta have a couple Bonhamisms on this one, thanks Steve!

[@steverichdrummr]

@@noahice You are welcome Noah. I love watching you play. I am an old time drummer, and I really enjoy all the younger talent like yourself.

[@steverichdrummr]

@@noahice Also, that tree trunk thing reminds me of sticks I used to break cymbals, oops I mean play with in the 70's. The reason I had these sticks without any tips at all was because part of my drumming involves twirling both sticks, and regularly tossing up my right stick while playing with my left. The reason I had those sticks was because the spun up evenly, and I never caught it on the tip end, bc there was no tip end. Just grab it out of the air, and keep on pounding. ( I still do this, but with regular sticks).

Excellent Noah!!

[@noahice]

Thanks Keith!

[@thundersnow819]

I did not have tinnitus for one second of that, his smile said it all!

[@marswillrule2431]

I like those drums so much that I'm going to start a cult.

[@noahice]

Does behind the bowling alley every third Monday work for us? Please let me know what to bring to the potluck 😄

[@JackNiles]

Cool

[@mellilore]

I'd like to hear them tuned higher.... anyway kudos for the playing, very interesting as per usual. Thumb up!!!!!

[@noahice]

Thank you, much appreciated! We'll get some more multiple tuning videos in the future for sure - this one would have performed nicely in a higher range too.
