    The most important thing he said the whole time: "You can be a**, but if you can keep time, you'll have a gig."

    @StevenBeverage Před rokem +2

    As a huge Mars Volta fan, following them since At the Drive In days, the fact that Pridgen came in after Jon Theodore and noticeably elevated their sound ten fold with a distinct style..complimenting and sometimes overshadowing some of the best progressive musicians on offer says alot..He is an inspiration and an underrated monster on drums who should be in the same conversation as Buddy Rich, Peart and all of them

    Tnis dude literally spoke on the exact thoughts and philosophy that goes though my head daily. He is a big part of why i get behind my kit, practice my craft and fullfill my postition as a singular creative drummer. Thank you for speaking your mind. Wish i would of known this dude was in my own backyard this whole time lol. Much love for this cat man. He dope a.f and keep it 100.

      The fact that people continue to judge people by their use of words is beyond me. Usually, those are the ones with zero talent and drive.

    Man, I been playing for yrs., double bass, great chops, every band fell thru over b.s., so I got discouraged & bored jammin alone & decided I may be done. Then I see This. I was always inspired by him when reading interviews & all. But hearing how he veiws his craft (drumming), makes me wanna pick it back up. Thanks Thomas, you are EXTREMELY Underated.👍👏

    'Not enough love in the world"...right on Thomas, tell the truth. Love how you communicate the work we put in (kids and pedals and endless devotion to killin the shit)...When I was a kid I would hear stupid drummer jokes. Try that shit now. And yes, world needs more love. Thanks for being so real.

    @sega.milkis Před 7 lety

    These videos, man, they're incredible. I'm speechless. Incredible atmosphere.
    Not often do you see something that shows the insight of a drummer's mind. I'm not talking about the interviews 'cause they're too much dependant on the interviewer and the type of questions. But these... these are monologues, their own thoughts and souls from the inside. Please, keep doing this. Subscribed

    Thanks Tomas, you are so right. That's why musicians of all styles have got to come together. Stop the cut throat and bad gasup shit. Our life is hard enough . We,, cutting - up each other is going to kill this art. I mean look at this shit 14 thumbs down on such a truthful film. To many fake artist out there. Come together my brothers, and we can get rid of the BS,artiest. Thank you Thomas for all you do. I have learned so much from you bro. Keep it up.

    I would never throw my DW Collectors Series like this drumtech did, just look at that snare wiggeling after he took it out of the case, and even worse the kick just throwing it like that. Man, if you even knew what they cost ya. Pridgen got some good facts tho, love you man.

      @drummachine5787 Před 7 lety +24

      These kinds of videos are usually chopped up in random spots. I think he is saying that people think his ability comes from a piece of gear and not the amount of practice he put in.
