My Music

[madmike]

I'm sure this thread will register remarkably low on everyone's Give-a-shit-o-meter, as well it should. But I figure I would share this in a few places. Album I recorded (drums) with my last band in 2006, as it has been uploaded to YouTube for the first time ever.

For those connoisseurs of loud, extreme heavy metal, or wishing to terrorize their neighbors.

Definitely not my Cup-o-tea but I can appreciate talent, drums sound badass!!
:zombie:

Love the music, drums sounded awesome, sound effects, guitars, great, but the vocals are not my favorite... I do like heavy metal, just not the screaming, low voice... thanks for sharing!

 

[madmike]

Thanks guys. The drums sound ugly to me, because that's my old cheap kit. New album will sound sooo much better with my DWs. And I've personally gotten way better since those days.

The music for me is way to heavy, I agree with dart on the screaming part! But dude, your talent with the drums is amazing! Do you have any solo drum vids?

Thank you very much.

I pretty much never do solo vids. I barely have time for my band projects. And I've never had a knack for pure soloing.

I might have posted this before...it's a quick little project I did to demonstrate some multi-pedal technique, and because I wanted to do something non-deathmetal for a change. It is one of the songs from the Tron soundtrack, and I wrote some drums for it.

This is black metal, but no vocals. I was auditioning for the session drums on a national band's album. It was a worldwide audition, and I came in 2nd. First place loser!!! But I did beat out some well known drummers before a late entry came in and beat me out (who I am now friends with.)

A one take audition, so there are def some dirty parts and flaws.

More metal, this is a cover of a great Carcass song, but again, you really can't hear any vocals, but the overall audio suck because it's just video camera audio.

And the audio on this is really terrible, but I'm only posting it so you can see what playing the fast stuff (blast beats) looks like. Had we (DS) not broken up right before recording the second album, this would have been one of the songs on it.

kudos man your a good drummer, the music is great, the screaming is a little to heavy for my taste... but its pretty sick

 

[Rookasaki]

wow dude, thanks for the additional vids. You got some talent that's for sure. Just amazing how fast you can move your hands etc... Pretty dang cool!

 

[leprecaun jon]

i dig the middle video.. out of the last batch lol

There's alot of guys out there lot faster, and a lot better than I. Speed isn't the be-all end all of drumming though. It's what i gravitate to because of the musical style I enjoy, but there are many forms of music with different demands.

Me, I could be a lot better if I could dedicate the required time to it, but it's not my main focus in life, so I'll ever be an elite drummer. The guys who do make it their focus tho...whoa. Some of them (including some very good friends of mine in that community) just blow me away.
