_______________ I Paid $2000 For Pro Drummers To Create An EPIC Drum Part For My Song!
Subscribe or I'll steal your cymbals: bit.ly/2AyH1Fb
Time to learn some drums! My name's Stephen Taylor and as a drummer and drum teacher, some of my most valuable feedback and lessons learned have come from evaluating my drumming in a recorded setting, looking at what other session drummers do, getting feedback from other musicians, and being willing to improve my playing based upon that feedback. So I started a sort of reaction mashup experiment series. In a video a few months ago, I created a Fiverr gig and paid multiple 'pro' drummers to record the same song. In the next video in this series, I hired 3 drumming LEGENDS in the Nashville recording industry and had them record their own version of the same song. In THIS video, I hired 3 pro drummers from different states here in the U.S. and had them create an EPIC part for my song. This video took A LOT of work but was MASSIVELY fun to produce.
Part 1: I Paid 'Pro' Drummers To Create An EPIC Drum Part For My Song! (Fiverr version): • I Paid 'Pro' Drummers ...
Part 2: I Paid 3 DRUM LEGENDS To Record The Same Song, Then This Happened!: • I Paid 3 DRUM LEGENDS ...

@publicprofilename4273 3 жыл бұрын

If you know me, you'll know how hypocritical this statement is going to be, but.... I do think Kenny was just a touch too busy here. Not that it was anything approaching"bad" but, the song needed just a touch less I think. Honestly it sounds to me like he just got into it and was enjoying himself. Not a bad thing to be sure, but the 2 and 4 groove with accents on the hats for texture really seems a better fit here. That being said. My take would've sounded more like Kenny's, however I probably wouldn't have settled with my actually busier inappropriate first go, and retracked it, probably at the end of a long day, when I'm tired. My logic is, I'd be more apt to hang back and serve the song better if I'm exhausted lol.

@davidjoseph2197 3 жыл бұрын

This series of drumming assignments has been extremely eye opening. From the Fiverr video to the two pro sessions it's been so interesting to see what makes a good take. My take home is; a balance of control, power and pocket. Serving the song, not yourself. All very good session today, Steve from Arizona was powerful and had all the pocket on top. He would also be a dream to record, it's common for powerful drummers to be top heavy, hitting the cymbals harder than their kick and snare. He played with so much power, but gave the cymbals a lovely voicing. You had serious pocket on this one too Steve, loved the control on the cymbal swells and the hi hat. Proper musicianship from all. If you're going to do another one, I'd love to hear some extremely technical acid jazz.

It wasn't super flashy but it supported the song well and gave plenty of space for the rest of the band.

As a drummer since 1980, who kind of groomed himself for studio drumming, this was really cool to see the different interpretations. The kicks toward the end with fills in between challenged each guy, too.

Liked all interpretations, but Steve killed it to me! His groove was incredible. And the glasses adjustment was just amazingly placed.

Hey Stephen. Love these multi drummer take videos. Really gives us a taste of different styles from great drummers and makes you appreciate how each of their approaches on the same track is different but wonderful. Your analysis of each take was spot on.

I love the 16th note hi hat feel of the 3rd, the groove of the 2nd and the energy, some of the fills and half time feel of the 1st. Blend them together and you got a perfect drum track.

Steve Goold is fire! His take is like gospelish vibe thing, awesome pockets! Kenny and Scott also took this one to another level! I also love your interpretation, I like the vibe and feel! More of this type of videos! ✌️ from the 🇵🇭

Dude I'm learning so much. Finally have my first drum part out on a song done a lil while ago, listening to it I recognized some really good things I happened to do (and some not as good things) and it got me started on a journey absorbing all sorts of dos and donts for recording drums for a SONG. This is such sweet stuff thank you

It's fun to hear which part of the song the drummers chose to complement the most. Obviously Kenny is a bassist's either favorite or worst nightmare depending on how much a bassist wants a drummer on top of their fills. I think it sounds great. Steve sounds like he's playing with the pads, he isn't doing anything rhythmic that jumps out, but he is always following the volume and texture of the pads. That cymbal grab to accent the swell in the pads was a really cool idea. Scott is listening to all the jangly guitar parts and he's got all this cool cymbal work that complements that.

After watching these, I wondered if I could duplicate what the second drummer did here. After a couple of run-throughs, I got it ! I was able to adjust my glasses almost as well as he did. A camera failure prevented video evidence of the success however.

Stephen, after the video (or you should upload a second video) of all these videos where pro drummers play the song, without any breaks. That would give the video more of a replay purpose when people only want to hear the songs and look at the drummers again after the commentary. I think this would be a really good compliment to add to all of these kind of videos. Really good videos, keep it up!

Number 2 man...discipline and a strong sense of self/personality that transfers onto the instrument...always shines the strongest. Too many musicians enjoy sounding like others...the masters always have their personality to build on and that's what i think makes a great artist. And just watch his body as he's playing...he WAS the track he was playing...he embodied it!! ...great video...really great theme to show how diverse music can and SHOULD be!
