Every year the company Roland Meinl in Gutenstetten, Bavaria, is doing a big drummers drummers event with a big showcase of international best known drummers. It is one thing, that you can imagine, how fast & quick these drummers are playing. But it one another, that some of them have show talents. So any situation like this is a little bit funny. To do some ‘hand stuff’ with hands, stamping down with both feets, and just hanging around on a simple chair. That can mention everything to a good drummer. Have fun and see a video of such slap stick drum shows. Foto and film was recorded in Sept. 08 on the drummer event. One thing is bad: next year they will do it in Moscow, but how to make a big trip to Moscow, only to see these drummers? Never mind, there will be another year soon, we hope.
No, no, no, never forget to warm up with some rudiments. Have a quick look to an usual warmup exercise. If You are ready to play the same procedure, please let me know. I read Your email later….
When I first saw Tony Royster jr., I saw a video of him, when he was 12 years old. It was one these drummerdays anywhere and anyhow. It was really amazing. And the video I embedded in one of our homepages was a famous one. I later realized, it was one of the golden videos, every drummer knows well. And I realized, that Tony was not 12 years old now, but about 21 years. The time has flown. But today I found a new old video of him, playing with the incredible Dennis Chambers, one of my big, big favourites. Have fun with this funky drumming video.
