  • So much fun! It won't be long til someone says "Hey man, Nicko doesn't use double bass" and I say "I know he doesn't, what the fuck was he thinking!?"
    I can't help but play Maiden with my drumming perspective. I try to capture a lot of the things that discerning drummers may hope I catch but also leave room for improv.
    Enjoy!

    @JackMcLeodJr Před 2 lety +2

    Been returning to this and many other of your vids on and off for years man, this is probably still my favourite medley you've done. The arrangement and overall phrasing throughout is fantastic, and that final part was genius the way you brought Rime back into the mix as an outro. Great stuff man, cheers from Wales UK, keep doing what your doing and best wishes.

    • @thomashope373

    • @heavydiggz

      burr couldn't vacuum the saw dust from mcbrains sticks when it comes to playing the drums

    • @thomashope373
      @thomashope373 Před 7 lety +5

      Clive was more punchy, precise and driving.
      Nicko was better technically but he was all over the place and never played a song the same twice. Not in a bad way
      But personally i prefer Clive

    Hey Josh. I really appreciate your work and this has become one of my favourites. At first I wanted to say how awesome were some parts but in the end, whole 14 minutes were awesome, I had to rewatch some parts a few times. It takes some time to get used to the double bass but it is just a matter of taste and you do it very well!
