My first drum cover! - EvansRao - 01-08-2013
Hey all! We're EvansRao, a duo from Melbourne interested in bringing drum covers out for you guys!
Now, the first one we have up is Toothless Hawkins and his Robot Jazz Band, by Varien and Razihel, and more will be up shortly
Cheers, and constructive feedback is always welcome

Concentrate more on your timing & the feel of the piece and less time on twirling the sticks. Unless of course you are training to be a cheerleader. It will make you a better drummer.
And where's the other half of the 'duo'. Is he/she the one with the videocam?

Thanks for the feedback Jerome, will definitely work on for next time
And yeah, the other half of the duo is Shravan, the director/editor/cameraman of the duo

Don't let my comments dissuade you - when I was 15/16 I was banging on the drums the same way you are - drove my mother nuts. But I also believe if someone had given me some solid advice I might actually have become one. Concentrate on your timing - here's a guy to watch - he has thousands of YT videos - this is not his best performance but it is a masterclass in timing. http://youtu.be/66TQ4TqiAFs
Like any artistic endeavour - learn all the rules, and then rewrite them any way you want.
