My GOODNESS!! I love that girl's arrangement of Softly as in a Morning's Sunrise!! Not only was she fantastic but your drumming was next level! I've been accepted to start this fall at Berklee and I can't WAIT!!
Love that ear training part 9:56 - 11:27..Been drumming for 12years, someday i like also to experience those kind of lessons.. New subscriber here, loving your videos in the cruise-ship..Goodluck!
15:47 I was like "Omg they have Rhodes in practice rooms" Then he zoomed out and I saw it was only a Nord Electro... WAIT THEY HAVE NORD ELECTROS IN PRACTICE ROOMS ???
So much respect man!! You seem to be juggling but enjoying your college experience a ton, which is both inspiring and intimidating at the same time lol. Wish you could've been my tour guide when I visited Berklee last October, would've been nice to get another drummers perspective lol. ✌🏾🙌🏾
This is so sick dude! The facilities look amazing! It seems very similiar but different to australian music uni's, makes me want to do my own 'week in the life' haha :D
Very cool video! I don't remember there being that many women at Berklee when i attended back in 1991 to 1993. Definately more possibilities in the chick dept. nowadays!!
I recorded this on April 24th 2016. I ran into some difficulties since I had close to 2 terabytes of video stored on my google drive and it took forever to re-download all of the footage mainly because of my internet. But, I was finally able to re-download everything and finally edit it.
Amazing vide David!!!! I love it. Question: when you do your covers, how do you have your OVERHEADS panned? Hard left and Hard Right (Stereo)? Or Mono? Also how do you get the nice drum tones?
Thanks Stuart! Sorry, I think I missed your last message too. I have my overheads hard panned! Left and Right ! And tuning is the biggest factor for drum tones. I barely add any compression and EQ to my toms! I do add some good Compression to my snare though haha
Awesome video. What was your classmates' average age ? I want to apply to Berklee in 2 years (at 22). I can't apply now because of studies. Is 22 too old ? (Would like to apply for piano jazz and jazz composition)
what you cant learn at Berklee...being a cool hang...this guy is a fun cat to hang with...huge advantage...Dave Discenso is a BEAST...best player around imo...wow...you get to study with Dave...
Hey david love your content. I'm 15 and I'm thinking about berklee, I also live in the boston area. I was wondering what type of snare you're playing, it sounds awesome. Is it a gretsch snare?
Jacob Friedman hey Jacob! In the studio I am using a Ludwig Acrolite snare! And in the practice rooms I am using a stock Gretsch metal snare haha. Let me know if you have any questions about Berklee! I'd be happy to help!
awesome thanks. I was wondering about the auditions and the basic do's and don'ts. Also strategies for networking and getting gigs because I hear too many stories of great musicians who are never successful despite there efforts. I've determined I want to do music for a living. Also any tips for picking up outside gigs, and also balancing music and school. Does berklee require actual classes or is it just music all day long?
It is so disturbing when you sing Donna Lee at 10:00, for somebody who uses the european system it sounds like a complete nonsense, like if you sang the pitch of a C but yelling the letter A
hey bro , this is amazing , I send you a message. but anyway .... Question here . is it REALLY WORTH IT to go to BERKLEE or should I better off study ONLINE ?
I thought kids partied in college. Your parents have not wasted their money. Your work ethic is inspiring.
check the rhyme yallllll
My GOODNESS!! I love that girl's arrangement of Softly as in a Morning's Sunrise!! Not only was she fantastic but your drumming was next level! I've been accepted to start this fall at Berklee and I can't WAIT!!
The ear training session was like Oompa Loompas on hallucinogenics. Seriously, good luck and have lots of fun!
This kind of video is really inspiring. Keep up the amazing drumming dude !!
Thanks Prosper! I am glad you enjoyed! and I will for sure along with some more content ;) Happy New Year
Love that ear training part 9:56 - 11:27..Been drumming for 12years, someday i like also to experience those kind of lessons.. New subscriber here, loving your videos in the cruise-ship..Goodluck!

DavidColaDrums Wtf Dad, i thought we don't talk to grandpa Austin anymore
Jaka Šinko haha! I wish I was in the Meinl family ! One day, then we will all be one big family of chospel gops
Attended Berklee back in the 80's. Great great school. A lot has changed. Makes me proud to be an Alumn. Great content.
15:47 I was like "Omg they have Rhodes in practice rooms"
Then he zoomed out and I saw it was only a Nord Electro...
WAIT THEY HAVE NORD ELECTROS IN PRACTICE ROOMS ???
Yes because berklee's tuition are freakin expensive :D
u don't pay a kidney for nothin lol
Yes!!! 🙌🏻 Been waiting for this vid!!
2:46 😂😂
"Who is majoring in [pause] drums [awkward smile]" never have I ever related to 1 second of video more than that.
Imagine as student majoring on bass
So much respect man!! You seem to be juggling but enjoying your college experience a ton, which is both inspiring and intimidating at the same time lol. Wish you could've been my tour guide when I visited Berklee last October, would've been nice to get another drummers perspective lol. ✌🏾🙌🏾
Berklee is indeed an upgrade from high school.
I needed money for this and I got nothing. So I watch this video and feel good and bad at the same time about everything..
A half hour David Cola video I'm hyped awesome to see what you get up to
I think you will dig this one ;)
I CANT WAIT FOR PART 2 !!!! we should do a 2 drummers 1 cover one day that would be so awesome
This is so sick dude! The facilities look amazing! It seems very similiar but different to australian music uni's, makes me want to do my own 'week in the life' haha :D
So nice to watch such videous like this! Good job man!
alright, not a drummer- but 19:23 made me subscribe. Great stuff, homie :D
dude I really love this vlog its so entertaining, now I just hope i can kill the auditions this month and join Berklee damn. Keep it up man!
Amazing vid David!!! Really enjoyed it. Keep up the great work!!!
This guys is literally Casey Neistat except in Berkeley and a drummer! The content it great!
Sturt Music Berklee* completely different school
That was my first thought
And with 11m less subs
That city is so beautiful. I hope I can make it in to Berklee.
Great video. Really glad I found this.
attending berklee this fall, can’t wait! that 8-4 session looked like fun ngl
Cool video man. Nice to see what you're up to on a day to day basis.
Private teacher... Dave DiCenso, mind blown.
I wish my ear training classes were that late in the evening. Last year they were at 8:30am and it sucked lol.
18:22 I'd recognize that accent anywhere! Is she Irish? I suppose we don't have any hardcore music colleges here
that's awesome David, can't wait for part 2! Would be awesome to study music this way here in Italy but there's no school like Berklee.. :(
Thanks Claudio!! I really appreciate it :). And there is a Berklee not to far away in Valencia, Spain! ;)
Enjoyed watching this. Cool drummer 😊
This is really helping me with my college decision thanks!
David Cola your are my favourite drummer
Really good drum beat 😍😅🥰🤣🧐🤪
David cola ur so inspiring to me keep up the good work
Hey!!! Thanks so much Johnatan! Your feedback inspires me to work harder and put out more content myself! So thank you :)
Berklee life looks pretty sweet. Such a rich curriculum
Very cool video! I don't remember there being that many women at Berklee when i attended back in 1991 to 1993. Definately more possibilities in the chick dept. nowadays!!
DAMN DUDE DEM TIME SIGS BRO
awesome video man! watched all 26 minutes and 9 seconds!!!!
22:59 that was cool indeed
Why does he say it's April 24th at 1:29 if the video was published on January 9th 2017
I recorded this on April 24th 2016. I ran into some difficulties since I had close to 2 terabytes of video stored on my google drive and it took forever to re-download all of the footage mainly because of my internet. But, I was finally able to re-download everything and finally edit it.
I did a summer course at Berklee and I have to say the cookies are dope
I see that some of the rooms don’t have cymbals- I guess there’s a room to pick out other types of cymbals for the practice rooms?
you need to provide your own cymbals for the rooms that don’t already have them
Amazing vide David!!!! I love it. Question: when you do your covers, how do you have your OVERHEADS panned? Hard left and Hard Right (Stereo)? Or Mono? Also how do you get the nice drum tones?

DavidColaDrums Thanks Dave!
Great video :)
nice!!! just a question, it's a master what you are doing or bachelor ? I tought bachelors where not specialized..
David how is it playing in them small practice rooms....thinking about getting a 2.4 x 2.4m booth..thanks
Awesome video. What was your classmates' average age ? I want to apply to Berklee in 2 years (at 22). I can't apply now because of studies. Is 22 too old ? (Would like to apply for piano jazz and jazz composition)
Awesome drumming david!
Very cool video!
DUDE! That chick that pooped into the screen at 18:20, is she brazilian? I think she studied in my music school!
Finale > Sibelius
18:35 Anyone knows the name of the song?
we used to joke about solfegging our way through Donna Lee. It never occurred to us to actually try it
Mad talent
Acapella Donna Lee @ 9:57 ???
Dave DiCenso is awesome! I used to take lessons from him!
what you cant learn at Berklee...being a cool hang...this guy is a fun cat to hang with...huge advantage...Dave Discenso is a BEAST...best player around imo...wow...you get to study with Dave...
Where do all these kits you play on come from especially the ones you play on for rehearsals
They usually are provided in the classroom!
Hey david love your content. I'm 15 and I'm thinking about berklee, I also live in the boston area. I was wondering what type of snare you're playing, it sounds awesome. Is it a gretsch snare?

Not sure I could hack it. Looks fun as hell though!
You studied music at Berkeley?
Seems fun to go to Berkley
It is so disturbing when you sing Donna Lee at 10:00, for somebody who uses the european system it sounds like a complete nonsense, like if you sang the pitch of a C but yelling the letter A
