- Watch this video wherein once again I face my fears in another Progressive Drum Solo. I find that an unaccompanied solo on a drum to still be the worse thing that I do. So of course I'm going to keep doing this until it is no longer the case

You're definitely past where I can offer any constructive criticism! I loved watching the ideas hatch and then seeing the wheels turning as you work with the ideas and develop them using dynamic contrast, rhythmic contrast, employing all sorts of techniques. I've never seen anyone do a perfect solo - it doesn't exist and shouldn't be something anyone strives for - I enjoyed your self expression and that is all that matters. I'm adding this video to a playlist of videos that I watch to inspire me in my own efforts at unaccompanied soloing. Cheers, Gabriel!
Thank you, that means a lot to me.
Another inspirational post thanks gabriel🥁
Thank you Kevin! Thank you for commenting with a positive vibe
Love it 🎉
Thank you, I do my best do critique my own playing without bias, and putting it up here on CZcams helps.
I am a long long time music listener and an absolute beginner in drumming, so please take what I write for whatever it's worth. Here is my listening experience:
I really enjoyed how you turned the rock groove you start at 7:01 into a solo. I wished it was longer where you put more fills around the backbeat and eventually turning it into one long fill/solo. I also loved the clave like beat you start at 8:16. It is playful and fun, again I wished you stayed more with that idea (cross stick part) too.
If I could play the way you play I would try to add creative empty space, tension, and giving the solo breathing room. Again as my experience I wanted to hear more cymbals (not as time keeping on the ride but for example as emphasis and punctuation on crash).
Reading what I wrote I think I am describing an intermediate level drummer . My intention here is not to give feedback but hear about your creative process, if you care to share. Thank you for this discussion and thank you for the lessons you upload!
Thank you for your contribution to this feed and your polite and constructive critique. I do struggle a bit with being comfortable in staying with an idea long enough to develop it. Also, what you said about cymbal accents, I think about the excitement of good drum solos and they always seem to have several points at which there is a series of loud cymbal accents and then sudden silence. Thanks for reminding me. Good Stuff!
That was awesome! Sounded like some Steve Gadd inspired stuff in there...and the left hand control at 4.30 🔥
it was impressive solo ideas!
Great Sounds and Nice Ending.
Thank you for the kind words!
Awesome solo dude, love your channel
I love this community we're building here
BRAVO!!! ОТЛИЧНОЕ ЗВУКОИЗВЛЕЧЕНИЕ, ВЕЛИКОЛЕПНАЯ ПОДАЧА. СПАСИБО.
Спасибо за поддержку
Loved this Gabe, I do this a lot. I love your snare sound! Please do a tuning video🥁
Thank you! That snare drum is the Ludwig Acrolite 5x14 with 8 lugs.
That was dope Brother 🙏🏾
Thank you, I appreciate it.
...also, thank you for including me in your playlist. That sort of thing really helps creators
This sounds awesome it’s groving 👍🔥💯
Wonderfull Gabriel, Greetings from Germany. Peter
Greetings Peter. And thank you
Ned from Spain here again Gabe. Nice playing, great hands, I'm loving both the sound of your kit, cymbals and the recording levels. Some sweet execution of the patterns and combinations. A criticism which is more a matter of taste is that when you switch to that tasty groove keep adding rolls and intensity. Opening it up with a freer sense of time and work it into the final section of the solo. Very impressive playing nonetheless and more than I am able to do. Bravo Gabe and again for taking the risk of showing your process and growth.
This is a fantastic comment and constructive critique, for which I thank you very much.
if its Tuesday .. we Druumin' !
As i read in other comments, you're way past my soloing ability. In my opinion a solo should be the drummer's self expression. You nailed it. 😎🤙
Thank you, that is nice of you to say
Thought Leland plays drum…
GREAT HANDS GREAT FEEL ALL IN GOOD TASTE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INSPIRATION. MY TWO CENTS STOP THE CROSS STICKING PLAY MORE OPEN HANDED
Thank you! I will
Seems like you're heavily influenced by jazz.
I do have my favorite Jazz drummers and legendary Jazz moments, although in my life I have very rarely had the opportunity to play it. A great one is this czcams.com/video/nkJoTY0GE8M/video.html
@@DrumTipTuesdaynice. I'm a left-handed...open-handed player. My influences are Peart and Mangini. However, I enjoy many styles and types of music. Here's one of my favorites. I can watch this man over and over, and see and hear something, different every time. czcams.com/video/FZQnmv_Hbio/video.htmlsi=hGFeJO0HECHifTpe
Nice playing Gabe ! 👏👍
I can find no criticism !
Thank you for the support, I appreciate it
