  • Greetings everyone!
    Here's another one of my performance pieces captured during my time at Drum Channel, playing the song "The Florentine" from my band Big Big Train. This track comes from our record "The Grand Tour". It is a really fun song to play drums on and I get to sing a great harmony lead vocal with David Longdon. This performance was made before David's passing. Hearing and watching this video brings back so many wonderful memories of David and how great it was be in #BigBigTrain with him.
    I hope you enjoy the video and make sure to go to #DrumChannel for my lesson course on drumming and singing along with all of the other amazing drum content they have there. It is an amazing resource and I am honored to be there.
    In this course I teach you the invaluable skill-set of becoming a singing drummer. Whether you are singing background vocals or leading a band, this brand new Drum Channel course covers various exercises that will build your vocal foundation and ability to play drums simultaneously.

    As a fan I'm excited to expose BBT to a young friend who has taken up learning the guitar, I always have him listen to all kinds of music to be inspired, I said " here, check out this music journey". And as I sit here watching this I got thru to the instrumental section then I break down on tears of sadness and joy. Grief that I miss David but happiness with the opportunity to share such an emotional flowing piece of music..

    I remember having to sing and play "Dance on A Volcano" one night in high school when our keyboard player's voice was out. So I have a healthy respect for playing drums and singing in odd times! You made this look like a breeze....!

      That's tough in the comments but it is single strokes in the hands and dbl's in the feet (I was using a dbl pedal) and the counts are 6, 6, 4, 4, 6, 6, 6. The 6's areRLRLFF and the 4's are RLFF. Hope that helps. Cheers!
