I wanna hear you guys play!
Here's mine - http://s24.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2...Z0FBL2VML9WQ36
Just some background info on me...
I'm 14, been playin around 5 or 6 years, and here i'm playing on my Roland TD-6KV kit. A little messy i know. I'm a lot better on acoustics. I'm trying to experiment with the nine stuff Steve posted. Not really working, hehe.
Less about me, i wanna hear you guys (use www.yousendit.com ).
Let me know when you can't dload any more and i'll upload again.
Cheers,
Loz.
14????? [img]eek.gif[/img] Yeah baby, nice stuff! You can only get better too. Not sure about the electronic snares, but the toms and kick aren't too bad.
Cheers for this. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Nice solo LD! Thanks for posting that!
Holy crap... this is amazing for 14 and the amount of years you have been at it. Well done. I am 10 years older than you and by the sounds of it, you'd be able to keep up with me... you don't *sound* 14 - you sound 20-something. I can only imagine how you will sound 10 years later!
You playing double kick or single? A lot of these licks are very Portnoy/Carrey.
I have a long collection of recent video clips that I will post soon in a seperate thread... stay tuned!
Hey. Cool, thanks. Just listened again to myself, quite cool. Could be better though.
I try not to sound portnoy-ish, he's not really my favourite player, but he does play some interesting stuff.
I play very differently on my electric kit than i do on acoustics. I play a lot more free on acoustics and (i reckon) sound more Weckl-ish (or even Buddy Rich-ish) than Portnoy-ish.
I've just recorded a track with me playing agaisnt a backing track. http://s26.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3...9160XSR7UOW3NG It's called Rhythm Dance and from the In Session with the Dave Weckl band package thing. Quite a nice track.
Unfortunately, i'm not part of a good band (how many funky fourteen-year-olds do you know?), but i hope to set one up in the future with some others (ie not from school). We are hoping to convert the garage into a home recording-studio for me, sound proofed and the lot, and i hope to buy some *decent* equipment. My TD-6 is good, but not really professional. I'm hoping to get a Gretsch renown, and then i'll be able to really start getting stuck into it. Hopefully should sound fat.
Anyway, why am i rambling on about me? [img]cool.gif[/img]

LDGuy, what is your real full name?
I'm asking because I want to properly label these mp3s for archival purposes (I save EVERYTHING drum related)
Cheers!

Lawrence Dunn [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Lawrence, very impressive being able to play to a Weckl tune at 14... I assume that was all one take too huh? Excellent hi-hat work and timing (one and off the beat + phrasing/accents).
Who is your teacher?
It seems as though very few drummer on HOD have the balls to post playing clips of themselves and/or videos, which is really a shame since I would like to hear EVERYBODY regardless.
I have a video to post soon, and some drum loops... i'll be back [img]smile.gif[/img]
I personally hate the sound of electronic drums, but it sounds like you have some good control and skill. I don't want to be negative in any way, as you're quite young and obviously talented. - but I wouldn't call this a 'solo'. It's more of a snippet that you might play as a warm up or for a sound check, or while you're judging your pedal's spring, or the tension on your drum heads. It's not really a 'musical' statement to me.
Personally, I myself am a horrible soloist. I much prefer to improvise over some sort of repeating melody or rhythymic vamp/ostinato. I don't think there are many drummers that can keep me interested just with drums alone.
Live, it's a different story. I think that the visual aspect of someone playing the drums adds another dimension that allows for more freedom of expression; But just listening to a drummer riff out doesn't do it for me.
Keep it up though, and try to post something on acoustic drums. I'll look for something myself so that you can tell me how 'lame' I am....

Excellent playing to that weckl track!
Lawrence, there's a great UK drummer called Geoff Dunn, used to play with incognito. You're UK, same surname. Just wondering, you any relation to him? [img]smile.gif[/img]
Cool man. How did you record that (the one with the track), it sounds really clean. You should post a vid or something of you playing.
Holy.......
Lawrence, that's some serious stuff! I especially dig your stuff on the Weckl track. That's truly amazing!
You're allready fit for some serious Gig'ing mate, you should not hold yourself back against any offers that might come in your way, even if they are 10 or 15 years older than you!
haha, I don't have the guts to post some of my playing after hearing yours! [img]redface.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
But after I took a beer from the fridge i kinda loosened up! I haven't recorded any solo's of myself or any sort of "Hear my chops!" kinda thing. The closest you can get to a somekind of imporvised recording was a thing we did while waiting for some singers back in secondary school. The theme is taken from some old athletic song ( Or they allways play it at the olympics [img]biggrin.gif[/img] ). We played the theme and then we just goofed through it, was very fun. The outcome can however be discussed. But there you are;
A-little-improvised-but-not-really-sorta-not-drum-solo-improvised-but-social-improvised-thing!
And again... I'm totally amazed about your playing. Thanks for posting it!
Rudy, I thought that Gavin Harrison was playing with Incognito... but maybe that was before Porcupine Tree?
I'm sure there is another drummer in the Dunn family!
Ah, quite a few drummers went through incognito, including gavin.
Klemme, nice playing man! Great drum sound too. First time I've heard you play. [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Lawrence, I've just listened to the Weckl track, great playing mate.
Klemme, I love your playing. You've got such a feel man and such energy, you really swing. I've stuck that track on my iPod!!
By the way, the piece you're playing is the Theme From Chariots Of Fire.
[img]smile.gif[/img]
Lawrence, I withdraw my offer of a lift to Ronnies made in another thread. You play better than I do, you sod.
hey all,
i'd like to use "you send it" but i don't know what recipient's email adress i should use.
any help?
thanks
LDGuy - I agree with all here, great playing, impressive for your age, stick with it!
Klemme - VERY nice groove....I can tell you're a big Jeff fan! Very nice indeed.
[img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Here is a solo of mine from last year.
http://www.epiarchdrums.com/evan
I just downloaded your files LDGuy. Could it be that you used to be a member on the Drummerworld message board?
I was never a member there, rather a reader of threads...It would be great to see some videos of your playing. I remember countless time where people on that forum posted edited sound files and mp3s of other people playing...Not to say you are on of them but its mainly about your playing on the solo. Would like to see what is singles/doubles you know?
It could also just be the fact that I have never really heard drummers of your age playing at that level. Back it up with some videos and I am satisfied! [img]cool.gif[/img]

Just copy the link and paste it here... that's how everyone does it.
LDguy.... Great job buddy!!! You are definetly on the right track!! Do you have a teacher you've been working with??
The Weckl minus drums is great isn't it?? I remember when Dave gave me that CD before it was even available. Improved my playing alot. But be careful not to "wecklize" yourself. It's really easy to pigeonhole yourself with his grooves. Love the "flip-side" time feel you seem to be getting comfortable with. Mix it all up!! It's the only way you're going to feel comfortable soloing in odd time and jumping time. At your age, there are guys twice your age without the sold time feel you have. Keep it up buddy!!
Klemme you monster you!! I hear a little Jeff and a little Omar in your playing. Love the way you use the HH's and the cymbals.
This band was called Media. Scott Collard of Steve Vai fame is the brains behind the recording, the AM radio special effect, and keys.... Bob Meir on bass.
Enjoy!

ps.... I'm finding alot of old tapes from bands and I'm in the process of putting them on the computer. I'll post more when I have more.
pss... the predominate lick is RLLRRLRLLRLL and just loops between the toms and the snare.
WecklsMechanic, I really love your playing, it's very tasty, great chops, so musical. Gotta ask you, what is that ride cymbal you're playing? I want one!
Hey LD,
About the Weckl tune:
You are awesome, man, And don't worry about souding too Wecklish - I like what you have done to the tune, it not being totally what Weckl did. And the way you can lock in to the (irritating) hihat click on this track, is very impressive.
You keep going [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Klemme:
That's very good playing, and one can hear the Jeff in you - impressive.
Skide godt [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] (danish for: "bad shit").
Here is a selection of my playing for you...
http://www.andyedwardsmusic.com/audio.htm
don't be too harsh...
currently recording some new material so this lot will probably go pretty soon so I thought I'd give them a final airing.
Hi
have some jazz-style solo clips on my website, http://www.massimodiscepoli.it , on the "sounds" section. Let me know if you like them!
BTW, I'm using the K Custom Complex Dry on some clips , so you can check how it sounds

Though not solos, you can hear some of my recent playing here:

Nothing that decent to post really, just this which I think most people heard already.

@Wecklsmechanic: What is that snare your using??? Sounds awesome. Quite vinnie-ish. Love your playing...
@Andy Edwards: Nice, nice stuff. I love the Meinl cymbals. I had a look around your site and you seem like an interesting player. Your pretty near to me as well (I live in Oxford), and I'm looking for lessons outside of college (I go to Trinity College of Music on saturdays to learn drums). Just a break of some sort cos my drum teacher there is a percussionist, and isn't actually as good as me on drums, plus i have to play on good kits. It would be cool to hook up for a lesson. I talk to my parents or something and PM you details.
Here's a 'solo' I played on a CD that was released way back in 1989! I basically riffed out over a repeating pattern that the bassist (Adrian Davison) was playing. This is at the end of the song.... .South Berlinear (solo section)
I'll have some newer and more interesting stuff in about a month when my latest offering is available

Round 2...
Klemme: LOL - A fusion take on Charriots Of Fire?! Brilliant! Man, this is some tight playing... reminds me of another HOD drummer, Roger Biwandu and some of his playing with Chic Hot. Very cool. I like the fills going back into the main theme. Man, your crashes sound nice - what are they? Ride too. I like the outro here... how you bring it down up, down up.
nevesis: We've spoke about this solo in great detail here at HOD at one point. Awesome technique and chops... Chambers Jr. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
WecklsMechanic: Really tastey playing... nice dynamics and feel. I hear a lot of Gadd in both your approach and drum sound... Weckl too. There is a cool little spot with some splashes/bells - what were you using? Yeah, that is a nice ride... K Dry something huh?
Andy Edwards: Wow, you have played with Robert Plant and drummed with Simon Philips and Thomas Lang? Impressive! I saw your site - nice! This solo starts off strong, and ends that way too. I like the Bozzio and Philips in your sound... some really interesting things going on here. That was a good ostinato... nice hat splashes.
maxdis: Nice playing... loose and with good feel, I downloaded "Autumn". Nice little drum break. Are you using the complex ride on that track? It sounds great!
I think we have yet to hear Dazzler and a few others!
I'm about to post some new pro drum loops of mine... check em out in a new thread [img]smile.gif[/img]

Man!! What is it with these guys from the U.K.?? A bunch of drumming monsters you are!!! Must be something in the water [img]wink.gif[/img]
Rudy!! Thanks for the props. Some pretty old stuff for me. I've got more recent stuff I'm putting to CD. That ride is a gem I found back in 84 when guitar center used to have some pretty good used stuff. It's my fav..... an old "A" 24" ride. I've got an old original "K" from Zild that way too. I think I paid $70 for both of them. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Ahhhhhh.... the good ol days!! [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]
By the way.. I hate the doublepedals, but they're fun!! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
CLWarunki, thanks for the kind words; yes, the cymbal is the K Custom Complex Dry, the others cymbals and hats are Ufip
here you go. recorded many years ago. yamaha recording custom. pretending to be a 'fusion drummer'. solo section in the beginning and at the end with band.
not perfect...but what can you do...

Hey LD Guy.....
The snare is a Blaimeir (spelling??) 14x5.5 shell with old Ludwig nickel hardware on it. I traded it with a freind......... my god.... some 25 years ago..... for a Ludwig chrome snare. I've got a bunch of weird stuff like this that I scored from a place called "Mel Zelnicks music stop". Used to be in Canoga Park (Cal.) many moons ago. Hank Bellson (Louie's brother) used to teach there. I have yet to find another shell like this because if you crank on it, it's the whole Copeland/Jordan/Brass sounding snare, but loosen it up, and it's a great jazz/woody sound. Fiberglass is really a trip.
CLWarunki......
Thank you very much for the complements. You rock too buddy!!
I use various cymbals depending. The stuff from that recording is probably from the used stuff I scored many moons ago. A "K" 16 dark crash that was of the old "K" (Sabian) formula, an old Paiste medium "505", a combo of Sabian and Zild HH's, a 21" "A" ride (Thought it was a 24").
I've always been a huge Gadd fan since I was a kidd. I could never understand Vinnie. And Weckl is a huge influence to me, especially when he recorded that Bill Conners "Step It" album. The one thing about Gadd that has always stuck with me over the years is, play a mean, laid back, and really really fat groove. Your fellow musicians will really appreciate it.
AndyEdwards!! You are da man!! Dood!! I don't think you've played in enough odd time yet!! [img]wink.gif[/img]
I really enjoyed your "Jam on Nov 25th" stuff. I really like the mix of the Hip Hop snare, opening Harp loops, and that whole early "Chicago" sounding Rhodes. Very urban sounding groove/tune.
Are you trigging stuff on "The twitch", or just playing charted out stuff?? Interesting collection of samples.
DrummerDav...... great tune!! Great playing!! Love it!!
And for those of you I didn't mention, I think it's great that we can all come together like this, in a medium such as this, which allows us to climb into the creative minds of such a great talented group. Love all of your playing.

Rudy, Thanks!
