Anywho, it amazes how your fills are rather simple but so effective. You have such an incredible taste for groove and rhythm Kai. I really do appreciate the lessons you pass through these videos! :D

[@KaitsuDrums]

Thank you Tony! Yes finally :) These are very simple fill ideas that I stole from Teddy Campbell's playing. I can't do the fast gospel stuff so I try to use what I've got :)

[@tonylancer7367]

Kai, anything you play is always amazing, I really don't mind.
I see you also have a new studio, looks pretty cool! Must have taken a lot to setup!

[@KaitsuDrums]

It's the same place, the only difference is a black curtain for video shooting. All the snares are behind the curtain 😀

So niceee sound

[@analogway12]

Hi, can anybody make a tutorial of the triplet in 0:58? Pls i really appreciate it
I dont realy know how to read sheets.

[@KaitsuDrums]

Bryan, there's a link for the drumchart of this song in description and that's bar 25. It's not so hard to read drum notation so you can at least try and watch this video at the slower speed to figure it out.

[@joseplluisbotella]

Beatiful...

[@dariadalton]

Very nice!!

[@gabrielJ81]

Awesome!!!

[@kvri-beats]

nice job bro peace and like from algeria

[@sergiohgonzalez]

Apart from your smooth groovy playing and pocket i really like how great all your recordings sound! Do you think you can post a lesson on recording in the future? Thanks and regards!

[@KaitsuDrums]

Thanks very much Sergio!! What should I include if I decide to make a recording lesson?

[@sergiohgonzalez]

Im sure anything you consider would be very valuable! Maybe mic placement, eq and compressing in DAW. Thanks again and greetings from Argentina!

[@suarezhernandezjosuesalvad9690]

wow, you´re awesome!!

[@eroo81]

Awesome!!! Great cover.

[@CalebBrandalise]

[@terrydactyl2609]

How is everything you play so damn perfect??

[@KaitsuDrums]

Terry, my playing is far from perfect :)

[@terrydactyl2609]

KaitsuDrums VERY clean though I must say. You always do the right thing in your covers though. Not overplayed, not underplayed.

[@KaitsuDrums]

Thanks!! I try to play tastefully, meaning just enough to make it interesting but not overplayed :)

[@terrydactyl2609]

KaitsuDrums You keep on doing that man!
