Many thanks bender beat. 👍

Many thanks for the comment Greg, yes I thought you may know this one I had a look at the chart history even though the group were English this hit was much bigger in the USA, have a good week keep smiling 🙏🥁👍😁

@ Happy day to you too, my good friend.

@@gregwonhoff7161 thanks for the comment Greg, yeah a real foot tapper I nearly shouted out , "don't stop me now" 😁 I keep trying I did that one in one take, I was happy with it so I thought I do another song. Enjoy your weekend and keep smiling 😁🙏👍🥁

@ As I suspected. You were really in to this one.🤪🤗😜😆🥳🤩

Many thanks for the comment Greg, and continuing support. Yes I normally put them from Thursday to Sunday may miss on day, Monday to Wednesday is when I do the recordings so unlikely no videos then. Yes send some over.My email is garystevens2317@gmail.com my mobile is years old and I am lucky to get a text🤣. In fact I hate mobiles, it's destroying people's personality my girlfriend is always on hers 😡 and people walk with them in their hands and not looking where they are going and they even on them at the Supermarket check out 😡😡. Watch people in pubs no one is talking all on their mobiles 😡 rant over 😂😂🤣 keep smiling 😁👍🙏🥁

Many thanks for your comment Greg, wow that sounds bad , I was in the middle of a hurricane years ago in democratic republic in the Caribbean, and that was bad. At the moment where I live it's been snowing and it's very cold for me anyway, -4 c My cymbals are my weak part of my kit Sabina pro which aren't the best and paiste pst7 . My hi hats are Sabina aax which the tired drummer uses I think. I keep looking to get a better ride but not paying stupid money. Thanks giving don't want to come across as ignorant but I have no idea what it is. We celebrate only Xmas and new year in the UK and Easter but not many people bother with that now. Keep smiling 😁 🙏👍🥁

@ Thanksgiving is when you guys didn’t want to be stuck going to the kings church. A bunch of English men, women, and children left England in a ship named Mayflower. They made it to North America, but it was in the fall and too late to grow crops. They barely had time to build shelter before the real bad weather hit. They were helped out by some Native Americans of the area. That following spring, with the help of those same locals, they were able to plant and grow crops , which would insure their survival. As a way of showing thanks, the English, called Pilgrims, threw a big party which lasted for 3 days and invited their native friends to join them, and that became known as the first Thanksgiving. Here in the US, it is celebrated every year on the last Thursday in November. There, that’s pretty much it in a nutshell. My main cymbals are like yours, low level Sabian. They came with my used set and are B8s. I also have a 24” Zildgen ride along with a clap stack made with a 1965 Ludwig cymbal made by Paise sitting on top is an old Tama hi-hat cymbal. Also, I made a China-like sounding cymbal made by the same Ludwig/Paiste guys. Yes, I would love a new set of cymbals, but just like you, I refuse to shell out so much money. I just entered a contest set up by Drumeo in hopes of winning a $3000.00 set of new cymbals. I think they are Meinals. Anyway, you take care, my friend. I will be seeing you tomorrow maybe, if you are here.🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

Wow what a story, I always found it fascinating that this little country of mine can be so many places in the world. I hope you win I also watch drummeo but I don't take part in any competitions as I don't they ever pick anyone for Europe because of the transport costs. Yes I will put one on Saturday and Sunday I think but not sure which ones to pick I have around 10 to choose from . keep smiling 😁@@gregwonhoff7161

Thanks for the comment Greg, lol I know those songs but haven't done them yet I don't even think I have them. I do have a comedy one is it George Jones from 1954 but haven't done it yet , don't think there's much drumming in it. Do you know much about foot pedals just think I need to give it a once over seems a bit springy might ask earl for his thoughts. New Beatles documentary coming out on Disney end of the month, tour of the USA 1964, if you not heard. keep smiling 😁👍🥁🙏

@ Didn’t know about the Beatles on Disney. Thanks for the heads up. I don’t know much about foot pedals. I have a double bass pedal and have it cranked up as tight as I can get it. I also have my pedal shafts quite long. I have a cheap PDP pedal, so I’m not sure how good it even is compared to others. Sorry.

@@gregwonhoff7161 No Worries I think foot pedals are the least discussed when talking about drums. I also have a lower end pedal Tama one, i never pay £600 for a DW pedal thats for sure 👍

@ I think I paid $116.00 for my double pedal. That’s pretty cheap for a double pedal I think. I agree with you. Some of those pedals cost more than my whole drum set cost me.

​@@gregwonhoff7161yes I paid about that in ££ for the single pedal tama everything in the UK is expensive, only thing that's not expensive is flying to the EU. Have a good week 👍

@@gregwonhoff7161 Yes i ahve been there as well. There are a few videos on here on how to make your snare sound better but i bet you know all the tricks. All i can say crank reso high and get an Evans dry snare head. The last thing treat yourself to a new snare, i only got one thinking of getting another keep smiling 👍

@@Kingy23drums This is a new snare with Pure Sound snare wires. I am pretty sure that it is just me being a crummy snare tuner.🤪😜

@@50drum many thanks for your comment 50 drum. To be honest not a lot of different my last 2 homes have been new builds with stud walls , and there is not a lot of difference. I got these panels cheap £50 each so I took the gamble. Do not waste your money on those sponges. My friend had them made no difference. I was reported to the council as I had a twat of a neighbour, so I moved. Hope you get a good kit and then see what happens. If you want to do it properly it would cost 5k ISH they build your walls out put sound proof installation in it then put new plaster board and plaster. I just didn't think it was worth it, I only play to keep my mind attractive. Have you got a you tube channel I have a look and I give you a follow and follow me if you haven't already. I only wished I was younger when I started I was 56. Keep drumming 🙏🥁🥁

@@gregwonhoff7161 Many thanks for the comment Greg, don't give up, some days I feel like that but I carry on. There is a book called stick control by George Lawrence stone they all say is the best to get your sticks working. Have you tried following Stanton Moore a guy from new Orleans he does loads of rudiments to help you. Also a German guy called daily drum lessons, the thing is it's not everyday but he's very good. Also rick beato he's more guitar but does have a lot of interviews with drummers and they explain how to play certain songs. I got mad this week I normally do 3 songs a week but just realised that this one is my fourth. Keep smiling 😁👍🥁🙏😁

@ You, my good friend are so right. I would never quit, but I just get so frustrated when I watch some of these great drummers play all these cool fills, but my hands and feet just don’t do it, and why should they? Have I taken the time to learn how to do them? That answer is a big fat NO.🤔😜🤪

@gregwonhoff7161 never get flustered with other drummers theres loads better than you and me, and there is loads worse as well. To be still playing at 74 I think you said is fantastic achievement, just pray for good health and you be still playing at 84. Have you a drum pad or just tap rudiments on your legs whilst watching TV, that's what I do, of course when the girlfriend is not there as she hates it 😁Keep smiling 😁👍

@ Yeah, tapping on anything when the wife is near is the biggest no no ever. I am always tapping on my coffee cup and you can be sure she lets me have it.😅😂🤪😜🤣

Many thanks for the comment Hilts - will give it a thought if i ever change it, but no plans at the moment.😉😁

@@gregwonhoff7161 many thanks for the comment Greg, Nottingham forest won ,🍾🍾 up to 3rd now. 2nd I looked at the views and likes about 2-3 hours ago, I had 10 views 4 likes now for some reason I have 9 views and 1 like. I am not that bothered about who likes it and views, but for some reason you tube are messing about with it, just don't get it. From now on I be turning likes dislikes off, they won't even answer my query. Anyway yep the sound I agree I am always trying to get in right by moving speakers etc, camera angles, it does seem the sound is worse in this house than my last even though I have acoustic panels. So my only options are to mike the drums up like they do, but I wont be doing that. Those drummers have been playing for years, and they are experienced. So they only have to learn the sound system to record. Me I am still learning the drums 4 years I have been playing, and I just cannot be bothered to learn the recording side of it. It's like when I first got an hifi unit with graphic equaliser on it, you for ever Messing with it for hours to get the right sound, so I binned it and when back to normal hifi with bass and treble. So I just can't be bothered to mess about with it. Also I play back my videos through a TV, phone, and a pc , and tablet and it all sounds different on everyone, its down to the quality of the speakers I suppose, what you hear. Keep smiling 🙏🥁🥳👍

@ Yeah, there comes a time when, for lack of a better phrase, it is what it is. Just keep sending your videos this way my friend and take care.🙏🙏🤪🙏🙏

@gregwonhoff7161 I think that is a great saying, it is what it is. Of those drummers you mentioned I only know earl, and the tired drummer, but I will definitely have a look at the others. Keep smiling 😁👍🥁🙏

@ Thanks for being here, my British buddy.🙏🏻

@gregwonhoff7161 we keep going that's all that matters 🥁🙏

Many Thanks for your comment Greg , was going to do another Joe Turner one but i save it for another day. Yes its cold here as well,yes have a good weekend and hopefully another win for my team Nottingham Forest. Keep Smiling 😁👍👍🥁🥁🙏🙏

@ Is Nottingham Forest in the highest soccer league?

Yes Greg, the English premier league is the best in the world for football, we 7th not far behind Manchester city and Liverpool

@ I don’t know anything about soccer, but you can be sure my 7 year old grandson is always telling me about players like Christiano Reynaldo and Linal Messi. Nay mar Junior and Killian Mimbapa are 2 more. Sorry about the spellings of their names.

@gregwonhoff7161 ya grandson knows all the best players that's for sure, some have played in the premier league over the years. Have a good weekend 🥁🙏

Many thanks for your comment Greg, I think earl has mentioned it as well but I cannot see why they are taking likes off me, but pathetic by you tube to be honest. The song was one of the first I did when I moved but wasn't sure about it. Keep smiling 🙏👍🥁🥁

@ 👍

Thanks for the comment Hilts, yes you are not the first to say this, to be honest, there is nothing i can do, but to turn off the likes and dislike button.

Many thanks for your kind words, and I am sorry for your loss. I have lost people close to me and it's hard, but try and stay positive and remember them with a smile. Best wishes to you 🙏🙏

Thanks for your comment Greg, I do use them when needed, and it's just I am not a big fan of the heads, when I change to 2ply coated ones I will use them more. Also I am struggling a little finding songs now, as it stands I have done 270 + and don't want to resort to banging out endless songs with the same rhythm, like some drummers do on here. No criticism of them at all, but I need to get better not stale. Keep smiling 🥁👍🙏👍🥁

@@Kingy23drums I kind of thought that you were playing single ply heads. You put double ply heads on and you will double your playing pleasure. As far as new stuff goes, have you listened to any Journey, Styx, REO SPEEDWAGON, Fleetwood Mac? Yeah, I know it’s so hard to try playing along with Todd Sucherman of Styx, Deen Castronovo of Journey, Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac, or Brian Hitt of REO, but we don’t have to play every song note for note. The key is to find music that moves you and gets your toes a tappin’.❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

@@gregwonhoff7161 I like some Fleetwood Mac but only when Peter green was in the band, the others I am not sure about. We get a lot of reggae around where we live but it's just a bit boring to play. I just have to keep researching I have 5 in the bag and another few lined up. What don't help is that some songs I try and put on get blocked from the UK, especially the Beatles I have got 30 of them and can't put them on, only if you cannot hear the original. Then you see the same song coming from other areas of the world and it's fine. I also look for songs no more than 3.30-4 mins as earl Bennett says the average watch time is around 60-70 secs. Some of my songs are let on but partially blocked thats why some of the songs don't get many views. Onwards and upwards keep smiling 😁🥁👍🙏

@@Kingy23drums Good luck with your song search, my friend. That’s part of the fun. How about Matchbox 20? I have no idea who the drummer is.

Matchbox 20 never heard of it , but will have a look for it, and see what's what keep smiling 😁

@@gregwonhoff7161 many thanks for the comment Greg, wasn't sure it was an hit in the USA, but I do know that all the song's this group did were pretty poor, except this one. Yeah I am on a mission to source new heads just expensive at the moment maybe wait to black Fri or wait and let my girlfriend buy them for me at Xmas or January sales. The heads I have are ok but I just prefer coated.

@@Kingy23drums I have Evans Hydraulics heads on all my drums, because I don’t want my heads ringing out with too much sustain. I like more of a punchy sound. I don’t know if you would ever consider them, but if you are a bit tempted there are videos that demonstrate the sound of hydraulic head.

@@gregwonhoff7161 Yes i know them i was going to get the red ones for my Tama. On this kit i have Evans EC2 but they are clear, and i prefer Coated and the resonant heads are stock ones so i be looking to change them as well. Keep smiling 😁👍

@@Kingy23drums My set is an early 90s Mapex Bop set. It came with a 10” high tom, 12” floor tom, 12” snare, and an 18” bass. I added a 12” high tom to go with the 10” one . Both are mounted on the bass drum. I didn’t know anything about Hydraulics, but at the time , the price was great. The set still has the original Mapex reso heads on it too. Since I have two 12” toms, I have them tuned differently. I wish they weren’t the same size, but that’s what I have.

@@gregwonhoff7161 I prefer them on the bass to be honest than the stands - your kit i have seen when you emailed me a picture, i might go down the electric drums next in a few years , you can make the drums sound all different, but they just dont look nice i am old school. If you never been and tried electric, do find time to do it, they are brilliant keep smiling👍

Thanks for the comment Greg, I think it was 1957 and been done by a few artists. Earl has been playing a long time I believe and always watch him but I honestly don't know a lot of his songs. I did however look at my stats after earl talked about it last week. My average watch time is 55 secs and 89% of my viewers are not subscribed so just a bit down on earl, but I don't care to be honest.

Have a good weekend 🥁🙏👍🥁

Many thanks for the comment Greg, it was a big hit in Europe in 1987. I think you will know the next one. Great question about the toms. On stands they do wobble a bit and trying to get them balanced can be awkward The plus side of stand mounted is I can get the toms closer to me. Overall I would prefer bass mounted because they feel more secure and I can position the cymbals stands better. Keep smiling 🙏🙏👍🥁🥁

@@Kingy23drums I asked The Tired Drummer the same question, as he has his toms mounted on stands rather than onto a mount directly connected to the bass drum. He said he actually liked the toms mounted to a stand that goes into the bass drum. He said he felt like cymbal stand mounted drums prevented him from really getting his toms where he wanted them. Anyway, thanks for all of your videos and answering my question.

Yes I agree with TD if I changed this drum set, I would go for a set with bass mounted toms, but no real plans to do so in the near future but you never know being an aquarius star sign I do get bored with things pretty quick 🤣😁, cheers 🥁👍🙏

Many thanks for the comment Greg, yes cowbell it is I lost my last one when I moved how I have no idea gives another dimension to the songs. Raining here all day and it's cold. Have a good week keep smiling 🥁👍🙏🥁

@@Kingy23drums That lost cowbell will probably show up when you least expect it, and it will probably mixed in with Christmas ornaments or underwear.😂😂😂

Yep no doubt it will pop up some where😂​@@gregwonhoff7161

@@gregwonhoff7161 Many thanks for the comment Greg. Yes you are probably right, the reason being, (and to cut a long story short) even though my house was detached, I had bad neighbours who complained a lot, Not to me to the council and police. Even though I never played It a night just daytime for about 1 hour.It was alright for them to make as much noise as they want and it's ok. So I choose my new house carefully so I can play now more relaxed. Have a good weekend 🥁🙏🙏🥁👍
