    world class level for me. Most drummers (as the drum covers exiting on youtube suggest) play to show off their skills first and foremost, but you complement the song and are not a showoff. Clearly you play extremely well, spot on!

    Good job. Double stroke Tom fills are awesome. I use 4 rack toms on this number. It adds a lot of melody.
    You’ve good good feel that blends in well with technique.
    Keep playing as long as you can. I’ve been playing since ago 9 (56yrs ago).
    The left foot on the hi hat didn’t vary - thats key.

    • @JoeNocella
      @JoeNocella  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks. I've been playing since about 8-9 yrs old also which was 52 yrs ago for me. Hi-hat is absolutely key on 2 & 4 in swing. It's a pet peeve of mine to keep that hi-hat going in everything I play - samba, rock, solo, whatever...I hate when drummers ignore the hi-hat.

    • @philbrown1474
      @philbrown1474 4 роки тому +1

      @@JoeNocella I hear you. Same with me on the hi hat. Nothing really makes me say “meh” like when I see some of the metal drummers. I use a double bass - have since I started playing. But not at the expense of the hi hat.
      Ginger Baker is the prime example of how important the hi hat is.
      On the other hand, Keith Moon never or rarely used his hi hat. I thought he was a pretty sloppy player. Many disagree with me.

      From the subtle left hand comping on the snare to the tension created by restraint prior to the final explosive ending.

      Thanks. Yes, I've played in various bands over the years. My first couple of bands back when I was a teen-ager were wedding bands. At 17 yrs old, I played everything from swing to disco to latin, merengue, cha-chas, tangos, rhumbas, you name it, I played it. So yes I used to play many genres of music and still do. But now it's quieted down as most musicians are not working as much. In the last few yrs, I've been subbing in some local cover bands in the Long island area. Hopefully things will improve this year.

It's actually one of my more popular videos. I found this arrangement on youtube and used the music.

I did notice at the start, not sure if its the internet conection but I heard a beat before you started..only one tap..maybe that's your off start and that's cool too..like it.yeah I can fool around with lots of trips on this and can watch your high hat to keep in sync..just maybe we could see your foot pedal but that's the only thing I could find that your could improve on. your feel for this tune is very good ..btw sorry about my spacing as I write my keyboard space bar is kaputt.lol.keep up the good work and keep feeling it..cheers m8, thanks again Buddy.

In Dec. 2016 I bought a Alesis Forge drum kit and started to play again at least 5 days a week. I've been playing to Rock, Country, Latin, Big Band, Jazz, Swing, Pop, Disco, Rap and more. I will check out your drum covers. I too have published on UA-cam many drum covers. I'm not a show type drummer but I am getting better every week. When the time is right I will play professionally again. I live 20 minutes from Las Vegas. There are literally 100's of Lounges and Bars in my area with live music.
