I’m back for my yearly Rational Funk binge week
"make sure you've got an attitude when youre playing the drums like 'what?'"
fucking love these videos omg
The kill shot. These are just brilliant.
***** brought me here. And I'm glad he did. This is awesome!
Dave King is the Nietzsche of drums!
"I'm less in control of the metaphor than Hemingway." LMAO... it's almost Coen Brothers-esque... like a living embodiment of the humor from Big Lebowski.
I'M HERE!
I'M HERE!
I'M HERE!
😆I love King, when I first heard him you can instantly hear a unique sounding drummer, amazing performer.🙌
"Fuck the nine stroke roll anyway it doesn't really matter" freakin love this guy
Man I miss this. Do you know what else I miss? Halloween Alaska.
3:03: "Never acknowledge a mistake."
Finally - a drum instructor I can relate to!
Excuse me Dave, but that 9 stroke roll was 10 strokes. How can I learn with this shit going on?
Way cool!! First time I've seen this in N.America - Single-handed drum rolls are a must when playing Cuban reggaeton (they don't use any drum machine fills)
Dave I was wondering if I should or should not aknowledge it when I make the error of aknowledging my mistake
I love this guy and I don't even play drums.
Mad Men is so good. I'm not sure of my brand yet, but I know if I stick close to Don Draper I'll work it out, or get drunk trying.
these videos are so great.
Thats it. I'm getting a cheap drum kit and setting it up in my cubicle. That should solve any interoffice tensions.
10/10, would have mind blown again
I think you are really funny :D I just watched your vicfith's artist spotlight video and you told them on interview ' I really honestly love to play with vicfirth and I never played any sticks since I was a kid' and your using Vater here :D:D:D ahaha I liked that attitude :D
early 90's early 20's ? I thought this about keepin it rael!
3:25 "The original cyclical" did this end up becoming a Bad Plus song name or album title?
First minute, you had me crying from laughter
This is great
GREAT VIDEOS VERY INSPIRING ITS ALL TRUE!!! KNOWLEDGE
Tu sei un genio.
I really hope this guy is the new David Brent & Foregone Conclusion touring drummer...
That is the biggest mistake that human being makes: is to aknowledge mistakes.
This is next to each other in a urinal level advice!
STP free ticket. Awesome
I find these concepts relevant to illustration and design, my field of work. HMU Dave.
Absolutely love these videos...quick question--why are you using Vater sticks in this video? Any particular reason? You're an unbelievable drummer!
Anthony Ghazel Yeah, he's a vic firth artist too, even says so in the description...
Anthony Ghazel I wanna say he's probably not trying to represent Vic Firth in these videos given that they're pretty goofy.
brilliant.
Jeff Indyke Lives!

This shit, is awesome.
This is really funny. Subtitle: how to get fired from a band.
Pretty sure the only time Hemingway mentioned a kill shot was when Francis macomber's wife killed him for standing up to her. There wasn't really anything metaphorical about it. She put a bullet through his heart.
i love you
AM I OVER THER
AM I OVER HERE
WHERE AM I
IM HHHHEEEERRREE
Time to fire my drum instructor!
oh man miami sound machine..... so brilliant. hahahah
2:35
Nice chops, bro. One-handed rolls are cool but keep doing rudiments though, as boring as they are. They really help.
You don't know his playing very well, do you?
I think we've found someone who doesn't have a shred of humor.
Successful trolling :)
That depends on your definition of "Successful trolling". I'd say you'd actually need some originality and a solid sense of humor.
You seem like an angry dude.
eheheheheeheeeheeeeheeeeheeeeheeeeh
Fives and sevens baby, oh yeah!😅 who gives a f*** haha
Lol....miami sound machine shit.
RATIONAL FUNK with Dave King Dave, aren't you a Vic Firth artist. Shame on you!
Question mark
not a GREAT drummer, but very interesting personality.
He’s an insane drummer - and this comedic brilliance ... that’s why he gets away with this, he’s a monster on the drums
Clearly you’re not a drummer
@@KevinfinityDrums Is that right?!
