Go down to Derico Watson. 3 clips. You will witness one of the funkiest, grooviest drummers today ! Check out the silences when he plays a groove, which adds to the excitement.
Let me know what you think of him !
Groovissimo, Montreal, Canada
I think I did a post about Derico sometime last year. He is truly an amazing guy and a really wonderful drummer too! I saw him two years ago at Drum Daze in Columbus Ohio and I don't think anyone was sitting down after the first two minutes into his performance. His utilization of space and dynamics are really incredible! He plays with the kind of power that Dennis has but in my opinion with much more control. He also does not use a double pedal. All of his double pedal patterns are played with a single pedal. I asked him why he does'nt use a double pedal? His reply was, that until he has learned and accomplished all that he wants with a single pedal that there really is no need for him to bother with a double pedal.WHEW!!!!!!!! Now that is real dedication to the craft. "Keep It In The Pocket". PT.
Derico is a huge Dennis fan, you can hear it in his playing for sure. I haven't heard a lot of his playing but what I have heard has been impressive.
He has a chat on his website every Wednesday. I've chatted with him a few times, nice guy!

Groovissimo,
Thanks for posting the info on Derico!
....whoa...
Very cool and creative playing.
Here's the place who had the Drum Daze that the clip was from
http://www.columbuspercussion.com/dr...003/index.html
Thanks Kurt! Man, how cool is that video clip with Wooten!
........I'm going home to practice....
Is it just me, or does anyone else have trouble w the vid clips on that VF page?! After loading the 1st initial clip, I have trouble getting the visual on all subsequent ones [img]confused.gif[/img] ...
Saw Derico on kit w The Wooten Bros [Vic, Reggie, & Joe; no Roy/Future Man] in concert last yr ['03]...solid player for sure, & attentive to his musical surroundings...nice. Altho he has no shortage of chops, he did not play very 'chopsy' at all that night...can't say the same for Vic or Reg, tho [img]wink.gif[/img] ...their hands should be registered as "lethal weapons with [over]use of deadly force"...

Hey Beat Hit,
I also would like to know how you can download these video-clips from a site like Vic Firth.com ?
Can you take time to explain ? It would be great to know for other clips we discover !
Groovissimo
Alright... But don't tell Vic. [img]wink.gif[/img]
To find out the exact File name VIC FIRTH's server needs. As an exemple, take the top video with Airto. Right click the "High Quality" or "Medium Quality" Link and select "open in New Window", the following address will be displayed in your MS browser.
http://www.vicfirth.com/artists/video/airto1HQ.html
This Window will actually download and play the video. While it's being downloaded look in the bottom Edge of this current Window, the name of the File now loading is displayed. As soon as the loading is done, the name disappears. In this case, it's:
http://www.vicfirth.com/artists/video/airto1HQ.mov
That's the exact URL I used to reply to DONU above.
So once the video is viewed, don't close your browser yet. Go to the Temporary Internet Files Folder where those Quicktime clips are kept (amongst all other Files). Display by "Type" then find the video File and copy it anywhere else on your PC.
Hope that helps... And remember... Don't tell Vic. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Their 2004 DCI videos are made so you shouldnt be able to download them due to legal issues with the drum corps. Their's still many ways to get it done. At least Mark(the VF webmaster) tried. [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Great ! , i see the URL below , but you have a way to copy and paste this URL i guess ? or you write it quickly all thoses URL before post them here ? [img]eek.gif[/img]Quote:

Hey Beat Hit,
Thanks for the explanations. And I won't tell Vic !
Laughs aside, if you notice at the bottom of each video clip, there is a mention "Download this clip to your hard drive". So I guess that the VF site encouages downloading clips. Of course, it is to their advantage, showing the Vic Firth name at the beginning of each clip.
By the way, on the same site, check out the Chad Wackerman clip taken at the Montreal Drum Fest while Chad was playing a duet concert with Bozzio. What a great groove !
...only that Derico's vid clips don't have the "save to your HD" option...that's why the guys were asking...
Chad: great clip. And it doesn't EVEN do that guy justice... [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]cool.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
