Playing Drums - Why always Metal?

Usually I present myself as a metal drummer. But after a horrific motocycle crash in June 2016 I am still busy re-learning some of my foot techniques with the right (injured) foot. It looks so easy in the video, but it isn't for me at the moment. I just cannot stop making music. So basically I was forced to reveal my second most loved music genre: Funk! Drummers love grooves and Funk lives from it. Enjoy!
The song is "Give Me The Funk", written by Andre Forbes and distributed by Hot Music Factory. The drumless song is available for free here:

I'm like the one millionth guy to say this, but that's a SWEET kit :)

[@Vdrumtips1]

Your drum kit is still one of the coolest:D

[@metalmac]

I totally agree with you !

[@fritswester2833]

You know it's electric, right?

[@Vdrumtips1]

Yes, the coolest electric kit.

[@FakeSmileRevolution]

I did not know that the term "cool" is also divided into analog and digital :D

[@fritswester2833]

Nah mate the words "drumkit" and "E-kit" are tho! No need for negativity.

[@MikeLuke]

Großartig! Schön, wieder was von Dir zu sehen. Weiter gute Besserung.

[@gwmatthias]

Hey - Welcome Back!
Gut, dass du wieder da bist - hau rein und gute Besserung!

[@FakeSmileRevolution]

Danke dir!

[@sir_arag0n121]

Epic drumming as always! Listening to this just makes me smile. And the fill in the end.... just epic.

[@FakeSmileRevolution]

thx mate! and happy new year :P

[@samueljanderson]

You are retraining a foot. It can only get better knowing something you love to do. Keep it up, fantastic drumming.

[@elguitarTom]

Reminds me of the Transport Tycoon music. It's really cool and atmospheric background music
Well played! And hope your foot gets better

[@FakeSmileRevolution]

OMG Transport Tycoon! I loved that game.

[@metalmac]

Nice, very groovy !

[@RinaldoJonathan]

I don't know why I keep coming back to this video.

[@FakeSmileRevolution]

I don't care as long as you do and enjoy :)

[@MrArieldrums]

good work!!!

[@michaelhussong9829]

groovy AF!!

[@CanAysan]

This is the best and badass e-drum ever

[@larnerdojfu6127]

Still the best!! awesome man!!

[@kevie3]

I know the pain and after effects of a motorcycle wreck...I have just never been able to get back to where I was before my wreck. Your playing is great Bro and that kit is killer. Maybe you will get the chance to use the new Mimic from pearl on that kit and give us an honest review before we spend $2k on it 👍

[@FakeSmileRevolution]

The Mimic is the Steven Slate Drum plugin sound-wise, nothing more nothing less. I personally like Superior Drummer 3 and the SDX expansions way more. But that's taste. The Mimic seems to be the first usable e-piece of Pearl. Everything Pearl came up with until today was garbage.

[@BurnTheNuance]

I had similar problems with playing metal when my mcl was torn in half. Still bugs me during fastest parts. Awesome playing regardless man!

[@FakeSmileRevolution]

Yea, I used to play 16th@240bpm flawlessly. Not anymore. I need a lot of training to get there again.

[@trenchdevil]

Kann man sich sehr gut anhören. Weiterhin gute Besserung.

[@FakeSmileRevolution]

Vielen Dank!

[@DiePixelkrieger]

Es ist immer witzig, rauszufinden, dass coole leute auch aus dem deutschsprachigen raum kommen können :D

[@williamscaramuzzi]

Can you recomend a good workout to develop double pedal speed? precisely the ankle motion around 160 bpm and higher tempos...

[@FakeSmileRevolution]

FIrst off: 160bpm is way too slow for proper and smooth ankle motion in my opinion. I use ankle motion from 180-190bpm onwards. 160bpm is basic leg motion, no magic to it. There is only one real and effective workout: Playing! I am not a fan of practicing patterns. I put on either a click or my favourite bands and just play drums. Record yourself while practicing and check how good you really are (trust me, you think you are better while playing than you really are :) )

[@verminking666]

YESSSS ;P

[@FakeSmileRevolution]

NOOOOOO... a YES comment, NOOOO :P

[@danielrobertson9854]

what brand is the kit?

[@FakeSmileRevolution]

Custom made by a workshop in Berlin... cannot be bought anymore

[@Dhukino]

had a foot injury. still more foot control than me ;_;

[@kevinmeli]

What pedals do u use?

[@FakeSmileRevolution]

2 Speedcobra Singles

[@kevinmeli]

FakeSmileRevolution Thx! Sorry for the spell mistake btw

[@RinaldoJonathan]

how does your feet feel when playing like this?

[@FakeSmileRevolution]

freakin' hurts :)

[@RinaldoJonathan]

get well soon man. keep making music.
I had a hand injury once, can't play keyboard like I used to be. but now it is okay, so I guess your feet will be fine too.
