This practice room vid is part of a series I recorded late one night focusing on the “timbale side” of kit. Was trying to work on some improvisational skills within the confines of using just that part of the kit. Still not...

Here's yet another vid that was never intended for public consumption. Working on some longer form phrasing ideas, creating different rhythmic/melodic combinations around the alphabet side of the kit. In these instances, I'm...

This is another practice room video of initially working out this Alphabet Drumming groove for the chorus of Twisted's "I Wanna Rock." Looking to include a funky instrumental interlude of this tune on my upcoming "The Boy Is...
