You know nothing about this man, obviously.

I know a Copy Cat when I see one. Just like people who make big money 💰 impersonating the Beatles …… Rip Offs & Wannabes !

@@MarioGarcia-uu9lk glad you liked it and now you know! Catch them live if you have the chance. Happy Holidays.

@@LayilaFaon glad you liked it!

🤣😂🥁🏇🏻🥁🐎🥁

@@Doctor_MB well then I will go see Tommy Katona as soon as I have the chance! I saw SRV in NYC at the Concerts on The Pier in the mid 80's. My friend had tickets and asked me if I wanted to go. I was like, who is he??? He said "he's like a countrified Jimmi Hendrix". I have never forgotten that description, because it was perfect. Sweet Little Thing was on MTV and that was ALL I knew of his playing. I was blown away. He was soooo damn good. Sadly, that was the only time I saw him live. Thanks man.

@@Spagz I saw an SRV / Jeff Beck double bill in Minneapolis. I needed ear plugs for Jeff Beck and didn't have them. It was in an auditorium and I was not used to seeing rock shows. I went to a lot of Windham Hill new age type concerts in the 80's and the sound was always the perfect volume. Probably my favorite sound experience was seeing a guy named Andreas Vollenweider live. I imagine few have heard of him, though some of his youtube video's have millions of views.

@@Eman1072 thanks man! I was expecting a new one today but UPS got jammed up with the snow I guess. Oh well, Monday will do!

@@devonraney6559 agree 💯. Thanks for commenting!

@@Geezer-yf8hv yes it is, and yes it does!

Thanks! Yes similar to his for sure. I have been trying so many different setups the last 2 years since I started playing. Often people point out Bufords, or Careys, and a few others. The funny thing is I just finished doing a restoration on a vintage Pearl Fiberglass kit, and I decided I wanted to set it up completely conventional. Been playing it about 5 days now and I'm really struggling with crossing over. But it is quite fun. Thank you for commenting..👍🏻

@@leehenderson8132 Yes!!! 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

Glad you liked it! Thanks. Always enjoy your stuff as well!

Well the 9000 were Birch and the start of the "Recording Custom" line. Much more detailed build and quality. The interiors were finished, even the bearing edges were finished, then sanded down to prevent heads sticking. The 8000 became the Tour Customs of course, and later were made Maple. Yours were made by Premier, who Yamaha partnered with for a short time I guess. Then they went back to manufacturing in Japan, and the shells were made with machinery that Yamaha designed, but Sakae made them. Eventually (pretty recently) Yamaha built a factory in China using the same shell technology, and now they build their own shells. Those 8000's were nice though. The only Yamaha shells that never get much resale value, were the "Power V" series that were made in England. Of course the entry level stuff like YD Drums not much either. But 5000 (then Stage Custom) and up hold their value VERY WELL. I see people selling kits at about 80% of new price regularly, and sometimes MORE if they have upgraded heads or include some hardware.

@Spagz thanks friend. I didn't know many of the details you described to me. even the collaboration with SAKAE.... when I bought the ROCK TOUR CUSTOM, I was a beginner and I remember that there was a recording custom there in the shop, but I chose the RTC..... anyway I had the chance to observe both and the differences seemed only in the wood. hardware and mechanics were the same. I knew however that the BIRCH and MAHOGANY used for the RTC were of excellent quality. today I also have a LUDWIG CLASSIC MAPLE and I was thinking of selling the Yamaha but many advise me to keep it...... thanks for the "CHAT"....🤙🤙

@tazzinasellout7968 if you have the space, and don't need the cash for other goodies, keep 'em!! 😁👍🏻

@@jeffersonhuarache8863 nice!

The price of concert tickets for these older bands (who in some cases outright suck now!) are ridiculous. Going to see Hugo/Voyage and these type bands is just so much fun, and an affordable evening. nd for me, usually a much shorter and less costly drive. I love 90 minutes from NYC. That's the usual place bigger names play near me. It's 90 minutes if no traffic. Then add the tolls, which are ridiculous, then add parking in NYC! The trip costs more than going to see a tribute band, plus having a few adult beverages. I still go see big concerts, but I am picky now. I'm not going to see Roger Waters this time for instance. The tickets are way too much, and he just can't play or sing like he used to. I will enjoy my memories of seeing him, and David Gilmore, and Pink Floyd, when they were amazing. And the tickets weren't much more than the shirts!!

@@FazMaTaz thanks for saying so! He was amazing.

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

Thanks man! I appreciate it.

@@drumrun6457 to get it closer to the snare, or to the right of the snare.

@@andreacapitani6903 glad you liked it. Thanks very much.

@@aztaz24 yes this was bad 😂. I really struggle with using a metronome or click track.

@@ChasMorris-z7m that's cool! I guess they have been doing this for some time now. Thanks 👍🏻

Pretty sure I still don't 🤣. To be fair I had been playing for about 5 months then I believe. I was standing up doing that, and it was done because I was selling the cymbal. Just wanted people to hear what it sounded like in general. Plus I am holding my phone in my disabled hand which takes all my concentration not to drop it 🤣😂

@@Tea4One1994 and people love them. Fun show. Good memories. Good music.

@@sephiroth7818 not sure if anyone has but I haven't seen it. I kind of put it on the back burner when I had surgery. Been thinking a lot about it more recently.

@@marcop1587 😂🤣😂 Many comments like that!

Thanks, glad you liked it! ☺️

@@ErnestSomogy I can't say I agree. Perhaps I am biased, but it's shot in 4K. Not sure what type device you're watching on or your settings. Of course lighting with this kind of footage is always less than perfect. The audio is the best possible given the circumstances: recording with a smart phone. Which is all that's allowed in these places from the seats. Of course I have no control over the house sound. Sorry you didn't like it.

Mine too! Well maybe Billy Jean. This right after. I couldn't believe I was playing AC/DC!

Thank you, brother. I have the whole show so, more to come.

@@ikamaestro1982Hey! Hope you like them. The actual stand is a double braced Pearl straight stand. Pretty heavy duty, but probably isn't necessary. From there I use cymbal stackers and felts betieach bell. I used these Gibraltar stackers: amzn.to/3BuZi9A

@@Spagz Thank you 🙏

@@ikamaestro1982 you're welcome!

Cool! Great teacher! Thanks for commenting. I appreciate it. If you're interested, the whole video is available here: th-cam.com/video/THhMrlsKFmk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PmBFIaB0qykgHodO

❤️❤️🎸🎸🎸👍🏻👏🏻 Thanks!!!

Sorry. There was a link, but they changed their website, so I removed the dead link.. 😞

​@@yavuzguney3413 They weren't birch back then, though many people thought they were, including me at the time I made this video. I later found out these were Philippian Mahogany with Beech interior ply. They had great tone and attack. BTW they are also sold already..

Tenks you 👍👍

Thanks for commenting! Yes, I understand Japan has a big Led Zeppelin following. I can certainly understand you being proud of Mr. Jimmy!

I'm going to see them again this Saturday. Can't wait. I'm expecting them to be better!

@@Spagz I hope so, enjoy it man I'd love to see them live one day

@@bassproable well, hard to argue. 😂

@@chebrneck I know that's how Jason found him because he mentions it. Otherwise I would not have known. I know what you mean though. Part of it may just be the amount of shows they do. They play quite often from what I understand. I think there are 2 performers in a band who have physically demanding jobs that can wear out from playing too much. Different kind of physical of course, but the singer and the drummer. Especially as we age. Plant struggled with it for sure, as young as he was. Bonzo didn't seem to, but he had superhuman energy. 🤣 The toll it took on him was mentally.

Totally agree. I make up that the singer is too lazy to learn the TSRTS version, which Mr Jimmy has down.

Glad you enjoyed it! They are lots of fun. They were getting really big, then the pandemic hit. Seems like they just got back together touring not long ago.

@@ytrecommend9218 I did! 😀🥁🥁🥁

@@Bob-mx9qp I agree, he is probably a much better and technical drummer. But his dad was next level on creativity and the actual "writing" of the drum parts. He changed it all!
