Another good tip regardless of skill level: Always practice with a metronome.

[@MireWolf29]

Same here. My "drum teacher" aka middle school band director never mentioned that and had very little patience.

[@Dethsquad1521]

Does he use a trigger on his bass? It sounds too good to be real. Or are his tuning skills and mics amazing

[@Chromadrummer]

Six months late, but yeah, he uses triggers.

[@sanjaygupta666]

@@Chromadrummerno he doesn’t use triggers. Only live

[@kagefrederick]

Dat snare sounds sooo good!

[@gamerdareswins2825]

If George bought out a nylon tip version of his stick I'd use it.
Hate wood tip.

Would you be able to do a tutorial on foot/ankle movement? as in which parts of the foot move at particular times during the rhythm :) thanks

What drum pedal beater is used in this video? is wood or felt?

[@jakerjac]

Odyssey is spelled incorrectly in the title.

how should I have my pedal tightness?? apparently I need to have the left pedal looser the right

[@yanksrule5502]

probably not a good idea. you wouldnt want a thin stick in your left hand and a thicker stick in your right. it wont be even. as far as how tight you want your pedals to be is personal preference. i personally like them loose to about medium in tension. you'll have to fool around with them and it might take some time.
Tip: to find out if your pedals are at equal tension, pull both beaters back at the same distance and let them go. if they rebound in sync with one another for a few strokes they are equal. for me it helps if i find a tension i like with my right(dominant) foot first then match the left accordingly.
