Drumming

[cpdrummer]

Not a drummer but a guitarist, you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a good drummer here in the Myrtle Beach area.

I wouldn't doubt it. Apparently it's hard to find a good drummer anywhere. Just like it is to find someone who can actually sing, and do metal style screams (like Howard Jones from Killswitch Engage can).

Are you actually hitting those double kicks, if so single pedal or two pedals?

Yeah, I am, the camera just didn't pick it up very well. You can hear them, you just have to listen harder for them. I'm thinking about posting the video to youtube without the song, just me drumming. I've got two pedals though. I wish I could hit a single pedal that fast, well, I can, but not for very long at all.

So it's 4/4 with double bass?

Yeah, Laid to Rest is 4/4 with double bass, but the bass drum rhythm is triplet eight notes at about 130 bpm, instead of the average straight sixtieth note bass rhythm found in a lot of other songs.

It's a fun song to play, one of my favorites.
