Any video helps. I know YouTube has videos of Bill Bruford doing a clinic in or around 2005-06. And he was amazing!

Submitted On: Thursday, Feb 18, 2010 - 9:42 AM

One of my favorite things about JoJo is his snare work. It's completely wicked, refined, and oh so effortless for him lol

Smoke always got in my eyes when I played so I do most of my smoking during breaks.

Submitted On: Friday, Feb 19, 2010 - 1:50 AM

LoL I quit smoking January 3rd and havn't looked back !!! Heres to hoping I can keep it up. I was able to run 3.8 miles today ( with a 9 min walk aka 1 Tool Song ) before I picked back up again :P I havnt been able to do that in years and after 1.5 MONTHS I was able to. I recommend it to anyone... It's hard as hell but pays off.

he makes it look sooo easy! its taken me 3 months to get 8ths going at 80bpm! ive got a feeling its going to be well worth the wait tho!

The fact that you have that kind of dedication is the reason you are and will continue to grow as a musician.

cowboyplayindrummer Says I never got the double bass

Submitted On: Wednesday, Feb 17, 2010 - 1:12 PM

I never got the double bass so I compensate by using 32nd grace notes. I place the ball of my foot on the kick pedal which gives me the ability to do the 32nd's. I wish I could use my foot the way JoJo does it's amazing!

visioncrys Says Re: I never got the double bass

Submitted On: Wednesday, Feb 17, 2010 - 3:11 PM

Hes definitely got it down. I've never seen anyone work a single pedal the way he does. Brilliant !! Imagine him workin that technique on a Double Bass Pedal :P

cowboyplayindrummer Says Re: Re: I never got the double bass

Submitted On: Thursday, Feb 18, 2010 - 10:01 PM

I can do little 32nd grace notes with the kick (single). I hope to demonstrate it soon.

Submitted On: Wednesday, Feb 17, 2010 - 11:25 AM

Submitted On: Wednesday, Feb 17, 2010 - 11:18 AM

He really is amazing isn't he? I like how he slows it down enough to make something that seems so complicated ( Atleast to me being a newbie ) seem so obtainable with a little practice !

visioncrys Says By the Way

Submitted On: Wednesday, Feb 17, 2010 - 10:38 AM

By the Way... Smoking is not recommended !!! Especially while playing drums !! You dont wanna put an eye out do ya !!!! LoL :P
Enjoy the video everyone
