    Quite possibly the greatest drum / life instructional series available online or anywhere for that matter. Bravo.

      Tim Harmston i agree this and Bernard Purdie really were interesting and both talk a lot about your own shuffle telling your own story, I like that seems like the people I play with like that too. Keeps me from trying to play like someone I'm not.

    Thanks to Scott Abels for bringing me here. I've been playing drums as an amateur for 25 years and I feel the need to reconsider not only my playing but also my general approach on music. This is exactly the direction I wanted to take. Thanks again Scott and thanks Dave.

      +James Sudimak For real though. I can't remember the last time a comedian had me laughing before they even said anything but that's what King does to me. Reminds me of when Chappelle talked about the natural creative link between great musicians and comedians because of timing. No surprise with that in mind that one of the greatest working jazz drummers is a one funny muhfugga.

And I know where Starbucks is but I'm staying away from there. On a side note, I made an amazing painting of a pterodactyl swooping up on Carhenge.

    I was with you the whole time and digging the life lessons until you put humans and pterodactyls together. Never happened. Drumming booty call, and Starbucks by the babbling brook, I can believe, but flying reptiles and humans did not co-exist. Just a little thing, but as a biologist I am a stickler for details. But side from that, I have a question about your craft: why don't you play on your knees more - like Trilok Gurtu? I mean that guy is a killer drummer - well, percussionist - and he can't even afford a chair. Maybe that's the distinction between drummers and percussionists - chair vs. no chair? I would love some insight into this.

    @stevemaxmusic 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I appreciate your putting some information out there but all the swearing does not make you sound cool or impress anyone. Speaking of "life instruction" consider that younger people might be watching this and it sets a poor example of how to communicate as an adult and professional. When your language just turns into beeps it's irritating. Lastly you have no idea of the skill level of people watching your video....so maybe it's not a great idea to assume that there is no "f...way you'll get this". It's off putting....Bad minus.

    • @kevin2themystic
      @kevin2themystic 9 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I find this is less of a drum instructional video than it is a sort of arena for Dave's far out and whacky sense of humour as a means for light insight into the world of making music and drumming. In that way; I feel like he is really poking fun at a lot of the concepts that are out there about egotism and flashy playing and the things that musicians go through in their work and particularly in themselves (e.g. self doubt), I don't think anyone should really be taking this as serious drum instruction. Although, if you have a sense of humour, you will appreciate that as well the drumming aspect of this series.

      Well in the first two minutes he makes _very_ clear this isn't a serious instructional series. But what's beautiful is that he actually makes a lot of valid points about music industry in between the humor. Just great videos!
