Sorry about the vid skipping not my fault.

It's just a fun random improv jam because my uncle had a camera.

Plz comment on the drumming and music guys it would be helpful.

Anything that he can work on you know, whatever you got to say.

That was...sorta painful to listen to.

1) Get a bassist, or make your guitarist (or is that you?) play bass instead. Bass is much more important for setting up the groove in funk, and the excess of treble sounds sort of awful.

2) Find a groove, stick to it for a bar or two and develop it. I felt like that entire video was just one garbled mess with no real direction or point...as most random jams are. There are a few musicians who can just sit down and create something interesting, but I guarantee they're not 16 year old kids sitting around in their parent's basement.

3) Only post audio/video clips in the gear+media forum.

Wasn't too incredibly bad.... it actually got alright towards the end. I agree with what Det said though, you should stick to a single groove for longer.

Two things...

One, does your guitarist have tourettes?

Two, how in the h-e double hockey sticks do you have over twenty-eight thousand posts?

1) yeah i agree. need a bas player or will jam with bass mhmm.

2) yeah was truly a garbled mess. im just trying to see if theres any specific technique things that come up in respect to the drumming and playing.

No problem.

With some refining (mostly in the drummer, i thought you had the feel), and a bass player, that would have been a cool jam.
