Just because you know a lot of Rudiments doesn’t make you a good drummer, having a passion for the instrument is enough to make you a professional. Sure learning every single rudiment will help in a way but really if you have a passion for playing drums you will go far without them.
I own the ride in this video
I do the same too. Not that I’d compare myself to Chris, but yeah. My guess is that he’d have a general idea/shape of the beat and feel he wants to play, and improv a lot of the fills when he plays live.
yes, but..how about comparing “this drummer” skill to yourself?
Suck :/
Its true, my band mates say I play in 3/4 when we are making new songs. I have no idea that I’m actually playing in 3/4 but it just comes out that way.
Just watched a neil peart video. This drummer sounds very average compared to Peart.
that beard is slick man, haha. your comment made me chuckle
a like it you play Drum Cris when I like U play
I love how at the end he is just like fuck this stick haha so badass
I love how Chris headbangs to the downbeat & his beard catches the upbeat 🙂
CHRIS ADLER > GOD, ‘nough said.
Oh yes master. We live to serve you.. I write about what I want, and don’t care much for what you mean. I care about lyrics, guitar, drums, vocals and music as a whole.
Loving his improvisations from how he plays it live here!!! Very different from the recorded version on Sacrament!
It’s stupid how smooth he plays!
Two words. Bad. Ass.
hahahahaha XD didnt notice that at first!
I do the same thing while I’m playing guitar. I just don’t give a sh*t on what scales I’m using in my solos. It just has to sound good. Only conservatory-guys worry about every little aspect of what they’re doing on their instrument.
i know i do. and we’re getting a lot of compliments and where invited to two other shows just from our first show. just search wounds of valor and you can see some of our stuff.
No seriously, he doesn’t know what rudiments and patterns that he is playing. He just thinks of the beat and plays it. A lot of people play drums this way.
that’s shit, if you don’t know what you are playing Chuck Norris will kick your ass.
No seriously, you can’t believe he don’t know what he is playng
u just must say …. yo yo yo
At the clinic, and several other interviews I’ve read or heard, Chris himself says that he doesn’t know what he’s doing. He just plays what he wants to hear. He also said that he almost always messes up. He is taking lessons from a friend to learn some technical things, but anything he’s done until now is accidental. That’s what Chris said, not me.
actually…. there are a lot of technical things that go into chris’s drumming. he is very tight and controlled about everything and he rarely ever makes mistakes. one of the best technical drummers out there in my opinion
doubles is a standard in metal drumming. So yes, I do know alot about technique, just think before you type, ok?
