I just ordered one of them off Ebay. I've never heard of the guy, but he listed off a whole shwack of bands that he's played for. (chimaira drummer, formerly of dying fetus, misery index, suffocation) Apparently the drum video includes techniques for practicing double bass, blast beats, keeping better time, writing drum parts, what to practice, how to practice, and other important things a drummer should know.
What do you think? I never heard of him, but I never followed any of those bands. I only 15 bucks including shipping, so I don't think I couldv'e gone wrong.

He is fucking amazing, he recorded "Killing on Adrenline" when he was 17 and he did the "Despise the Sun" Suffocation tour when he was like 18 or something. I love his drum work, his fills are amazing and he writes drums to really play off the guitar riffs.

Shit, well that's good to know. He's got a few more copies on ebay, if anyone is interested.
Anyway, now I have something to look forward to. I'm pumped.
I'm still kinda having trouble with these fuckin feet of mine...

Let me know what it's like when it comes. I've ordered one too, but I'm in the UK so it'll probably take about 4 years to turn up.

Looking forward to it, though.. I like the sound of it.

sure thing.

Was he in suffocation on Pierced From Within? The drums on that album are awesome...

No, she just did the tour after the album.

He must have been selling his videos on ebay for a while becuase i saw someone on the roddy forum talking about it a long time ago.

Cool.
Either way I'm pretty pumped. This will be the first drum instruction that I've ever had, so it should do me some good.

Got it today and it's pretty cool to watch him. To be honest, I've seen bits of the Roddy video and I think that's got more useful practice techniques and stuff and is better thought out. But that said I'm more into Talley's style and it's good to see him jamming (including breaking sticks and missing cymbals - just like the rest of us!) and it's got some cool useful stuff like what faces to make when you're playing a blast.

I bought it to pick up tips on how to make my double shit faster, and I doubt very much it will. What I've found that I really like to do is just watch him jam and see how fluid he is around the kit and stuff, I think that'll be more use to me than any of the rest of it. I also liked his very simple but actually pretty useful tips on writing bits for your drum fills and grooves.

One thing I should mention is that he's obviously had a hand in producing the thing himself, like my copy is signed and stuff. Now I'm pretty sure he doesn't need the odd few pennies he must have made out of it, so I assume he's doing it purely to help drummers develop - got to admire him for that.

I haven't got mine yet. He emailed me and told me that it's on its way, so it should be here soon. Can't wait.

Do you have a site I could UP them too?

this is crispykid88 form smn by the way. nah i dont you got any recomendations for sites?

Depends how big the files are. I think somewhere like megaupload.com can handle about 250MB at a time for free. Some formats will zip pretty well and save space.

have any of you seen the "kevin talley slayer audition"?

It's possible I have that somewhere. It sounds familiar.
