I finally got a clip of myself playing my drums. I had to wrap the digi cam in a pillow becuase it is too loud and the sound was all distorted. Short clip, nothing amazing. Hope you like. I’ll try to get some more up. ![Explore tallywhacker](http://rsmg.pbsrc.com/albums/v251/tallywhacker/drums.flv?w=480&h=480&fit=clip) ---

not bad. some things to think about: -there are some slight hesitations on some of the bass notes in the groove -double pedal part has inconsistent timing… are you using the second pedal for the “fill” in the groove? ---

Same here, except I play just about every instrument you could think of, and most of them proficiently… with no lessons. If I get bored tomorrow I’ll take a video of me playing and throw it up… I’ll go easy on ya for the first one 🙂 ---

> [@pirite](#): > > whats with all the self taughts? ive been playing for like 6 years and ive had lessons for 5 out of those six. its definitely made me a better drummer than if i didnt have the lessons. I tried to take drum lessons twice from 2 different guys that were supposedly the “best guys around” I ended up teaching them stuff for an hour then I still had to pay. Now on the other hand, if someone fantastically amazing starts offering lessons for a reasonable price, I’d be more than happy to learn a thing or two. ---

The vids do no justice. I couldnt play very fast becuase of the distortion. I play a lot of thrash and speed metal shit. So I do a lot of insane double bass work. Unfortunately the camera wouldnt pick it up and it sounded all messed. So I had to slow it down quite a bit lol. ---
