As far as the her chops go a lot of that stuff she plays really is technical and is way beyond what I could do. But ya if I guess if I want to fit in and act like I know then I'll post some Carl Palmer or Mike Portnoy vids and pretend I'm a badass drummer that knows my shit. I just find it funny how some claim something is easy yet I haven't seen any vids of them playing.
Why you got some vids showing your skills?
Yes she isn't technical, either. Hey, you can't do it, which is fine. That entire video was just playing slow triplets.
You fit in. Don't let anyone tell you differently.
In which case, you demand to see another persons video, yet you have none of your own.
Lastly, nobody is pretending to be anything. I'm sorry if you can't play 1/8th triplets on a double bass kit.
Do I have some video showing my skills? No. But I have plenty of videos showing the skills of real drummers.
As far as the camera angles go I guess I should of been more specific as to referring about Youtube when dealing with such a historian like yourself.
As far as the skills go I'm not the one running around claiming certain shits easy or so and so isn't no good.
And of course you don't have videos or anything showing you drum other then what you type on a keyboard.
I don't play guitar but I bet I can do better then most by showing you vids of guitar players skills.
It's going to be a new band, and they want a different twist on their music.
Hey, have you ever seen that Meytal Cohen chick do "Laid To Rest by Lamb Of God" ?
Now, how do the Lambert fans here at Vital feel?
With that said, it's a proven fact that people like their nostalgia from their early years, and will pay to see these bands even when they are past their prime.
What I find funny about all of this is that people seem to hate Lambert because he's a flamer. Freddie was the guy that open the doors for guy's like Lambert.
Pit Row
Wow that's tragic.. I guess when some people don't wanna see Lambert cover Queen they're in the Lambert hater club. So Freddie opens doors for guys like Lambert and we should automatically like him?
This Meytal chick.... I can respect what she is doing - which is not really much of anything other than enjoying the drum set and enjoying playing the music she likes and posting up videos on youtube. There is nothing wrong with that. In fact, I think it's great. Music is my life and my profession, on both sides of the glass. Has been for quite some time, and I think anytime somebody has the balls to get up on stage and put themselves out there, they deserve at least a little respect.
Will she ever be anything other than what she is right now? No. Sorry that's just the way it is. She just isn't very good, and that isn't to discourage, it's just to say what is reality. Playing metal covers (poorly) isn't exactly the end all be all of musicianship in my eyes.
Now before anybody starts jumping on my shit and telling me that I have no basis to an opinion because I don't have videos online, ...save it. I do play, but you don't need to play in order to know that certain players are going to pave the way for new shit, and certain players will stand around and try to copy what has already been paved.
I've been around players who have paved, and it is an entirely different situation. Its actually one of the most amazing things there is to witness. If you haven't actually seen it go down in person, its very difficult to explain.
My buddy Mark Guiliana started playing in 8th grade. He loved the Chili Peppers. All he wanted to do was play like Chad Smith. And he practiced his ass off. And he in turned could play like Chad Smith. I mean really play like him. College time came around and he made the decision to go to music school for drums. It opened his eyes to a new world. And he made it his own. Developed his own kick pedal style loosely based on Jojo Meyers, but added his own thing in there. Started to not just study rock, but throw jazz into the mix as well. When he wasn't playing, you couldnt get him away from listening to every kind of music imaginable. Metal, jazz, rock, electronic, etc.
Fast forward 10 years. He has his own voice in the drum community. Nobody does what he does. About two months ago I went to see him play in NYC. I was standing in line to get in behind Steve Smith, Jojo, and Will Calhoun. Sabian came to him and asked what HE wanted in a cymbal. Then they developed it for him. Yamaha sends him prototype drums just to ask his opinion of them.
He has toured all over the world, with some absolutely amazing players, but will sit down with anybody and play. He gives clinics all over the world. And he is just 30 years old.
I wont sit here and say he is the end all be all of drumming. Not will I say that everybody will or should like his style. But there is something to be said about taking an instrument, making it your own, living it, and spreading it out there. Do I dig Adam Lambert? Nah, I think he sucks to be honest and is a hollow talent. But, I can understand why Brian wouldnt go for the copy cat angle. I can understand wanting to play music, but Queen has been dead for a while - no real reason to resurrect that IMO>
This is Mark.
This is his project called Beat Music.
Wow bro. I'll let you pick my next lotto #'s since you can predict the future. And I'll take your pics for top 5 in the SX class tonight.
Playing metal covers (poorly) isn't exactly the end all be all of musicianship in my eyes.
A lot of them covers sound spot on to me not missing any notes or off on any timing. I guess if you wanna nitpick about technique not following the drummers she's covering I guess it's a fail since she doesn't follow suit..
I agree with this, but I am just a guy that enjoys, and searches for new music constantly.
KDX man has some street cred when it comes to music.
Cant help you with your lotto numbers, and I just plain don't really give a hoot about SX.
If the drum covers sound spot on to you, that's fine - but they simply aren't. This is what I do for a living. I get paid to sit in a room and critique what is wrong with performances and convey that to the artist. If they are able to do it correctly, then we move on, if not -then I fix them and make them right. You can argue with me all day til the cows come home about her being great, but you will still be wrong.
...and that's fine. If it is what you enjoy hearing and watching, then by all means, enjoy it. Just don't expect everybody else to follow suit or agree.
Look I get the whole point that you think her background or style is all about metal and my guess would be you really don't know that much about her other then what you see on youtube. I'm also amazed as how you come off as if you know what direction she's gonna decide to go down the road or what she will accomplish in the future. I might as well have said your buddy in the links above wasn't gonna amount to anything trying to be the next Chad Smith and would go nowhere. Or I might as well say James Stewart is burned up and will never win a title again. Because I know what everyone is gonna do right?
As far as your opinion of her covers not being spot on. I'm sure she'll call upon you to fix it or tell her what she needs to correct. Or they might contact you if their shitter gets clogged at the studio. I'd say she's doing pretty damn good for herself without someone of your stature guiding her. I'm also willing to bet she will accomplish more in her future then what you will accomplish.
Enjoy it my friend.
It can be a scary world when you step out into it and take a real look around.
