A tribute to one of my favorite drummers: the legendary @jeffporcarofanclub @jeff_porcaro - after going to see Toto’s current live drummer @simonphillipsofficial a couple of weeks ago. Yeah!

@nduguchancler mini lesson on “Baby Be Mine”!

This song + “Rock with You” are the only @michaeljackson songs with a drum intro!

I exaggerated the swing feel in the solo drum segments but it really should be a slightly swung rather than fully swung feel.

@rageagainstthemachine - self titled

What a powerhouse debut album - paving the way for Rock music to come. This album has several songs I covered many times in live performances growing up, whether singing or playing drums. ✊

I also remember seeing them live at Rock the Bells 2007 😮

Who remembers jamming to this beast?!

@thezackdelarocha @tommorello @timmycommerfordmusic @bradwilk - thank you for this banger.

@toolmusic - “Pneuma”

Warning: this riff is a time wrap - one listen can quick quickly turn into a one hour loop. 🔄⏳

This wonderful meditative piece of music has been my jam all week - in large part thanks to @dannycarey_tool ‘s masterful playing. The drums really do navigate this to another level 🤩🥁

@slipknot - People = $HIT

I was floored by the awesome video @eloycasagrande (fellow @promarksticks and @evansdrumheads artist) posted of himself doing this song live and I wanted to try it out.

This section sounds cool - and us drummers know it’s not too difficult to play 😝🤘🥁 Major salute always to the timeless @thejoeyjordison 🖤

Fun fact: in my early demos, the bridge to my single “Give Me More” was originally the chorus.

But in the end, when we made some re-writes, I was happy to have it become the bridge. It is also my favorite part of the song.

Bridges hold a special place to me for their revealing and hard hitting nature. Many contemporary pop songs are making this section disappear, but I say bring them back!

What do you guys think of the “no bridge” trend in some new pop music??

@ironmaiden - The Number of the Beast

Getting done with this request! I had already dedicated a post to @nickomcbrainofficial playing the Wicker Man - so it’s only fitting that I now do a tribute to the excellent Clive Burr. And also to one of the most iconic Maiden albums.

What’s your favorite Iron Maiden era??

@michaeljackson - “Thriller”

Now for something a little different…my first concert ever was seeing Michael Jackson live at Tokyo Dome in December 1996. The excellent @jmoffettmjm (who was on that tour and several others) holds the title for the first drummer I saw in concert 🙌😊

Though I was quite young, MJ’s show was a quasi-religious experience that I have held dear to my heart since.

Thriller is one of the greatest albums in recorded music history - with some serious legends playing on it (Ndugu Chancler, Jeff Porcaro…). Tasteful, tricky drumming!

What’s your favorite track off this album of hit songs?? Let me know in the poll! 👇

Also, I’m working on more of your requests - so stay tuned ;)

Behind the Music: the making of “Give Me More”

This was a song I started writing im February 2020, right before the pandemic . After years in the sidelines, my friend @waynecohensongs suggested we work on it together and in early 2024 the song was completed.

Though I’ve spent years working in bands, with multiple releases, this was my first experience self-producing an entire song. It never hurts to revisit an older (good) idea!

Stream “Give Me More” in all platforms now - link in bio! 🥲❤️

@themarsvolta - “Deloused in the Comatorium”

When I first started doing the 1 album in 1 minute videos, I knew I’d *have* to do this one (which also happens to be the most challenging one yet). Featuring the work of the great, legendary @mister_theodore , in what also is one of my favorite albums ever (thank you Cedric Bixler-Zavala, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez). Enjoy!

@linkinpark - Hybrid Theory

Many of you asked for this one. The raw intensity this album conveys from beginning to end is impactful. It was also insightful to examine @robbourdon ‘s laser sharp playing throughout - nice!!

Thank you @chesterbe @m_shinoda @braddelson @mrjoehahn @phoenixlp for the memories!

What do you like best about this album? ⚡️

Those of you who know me, know that integrating electronics in live setups is very much part of my sound. Sensory Percussion 2 is a truly powerful tool that combines the versatility and range of a DAW while maintaining the integral component of live playing. Here’s a fun improvisation.

Big thanks to @daddarioandco and @sunhouseinc for inviting me to explore and test SP2 during product development - the possibilities are endless!

“Appetite for Destruction” - @gunsnroses

One of the best debut albums of all time with the unmistakable pocket and feel of @realstevenadler and @duffmckagan . Also happens to be one of my favorite bands of all time in its classic lineup with @slash Izzy Stradlin and Axl Rose.

What’s your favorite of these gems? 🥁💯

@ironmaiden - the Wickerman

This was the first Maiden song I ever heard (that single kick 🥵) - fresh from seeing their legendary Rock in Rio 3 performance on TV…how can you *not* love @nickomcbrainofficial ‘s playing?

Huge respect always, Nicko! You’re a legend 🙏👏🙌🥁❤️

Sailor Song - @gigi4perez

My drum student @chloerythe strikes again with more really great music I’ve never heard - and that I play through in 1 take! It turns out this song doesn’t even have drums (my overactive imagination 🤷🏻‍♂️) - but I think this version sounds pretty cool too!

Fogão Campeão da América - UM TÍTULO QUE LIBERTA DORES!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
•
I am on tour this weekend - but my heart has very much been witnessing the greatest moment in @botafogo ‘s 120 year old history as we are crowned Champions of South America for the first time ever.

Those of you who know me, know Football is one of my biggest passions - and you will see I post about this club a lot. This is some context on why 🤩⚽️🖤🤍⭐️

…and for reference: we won our most important game in history by 3-1 after having a player receive a red card 29 *seconds* into the game. We played 10 vs 11 the ENTIRE GAME and still came out victorious! One of the biggest wins I’ve EVER witnessed as a sports fan.

TEAMWORK!

Putting down some song requests!

When you try to explain Dance of Eternity to a non-prog fan: “It’s like 104 time signature changes, a bass solo, a ragtime break, and somehow... still a bop.” @dreamtheaterofficial @mikeportnoy

Hit me up in the comments with more requests and you may just get your choice!

Dumpweed - @blink182 (with @travisbarker )

Fun fact: this was the first song I ever performed live with a band back in my 8th grade graduation 😃🥲 Nothing says ‘congrats, grads!’ like a 14 year old shredding Dumpweed at full volume. Still one of my favs 🤘🥁

What’s *your* favorite Blink song?
