Pyhtiö's drum solo mk. 2013

Подробнее о видео

I put my patience to a test so this solo spent a few months in planning and maturing in the back of my head. This time I wanted a real thought-out structure, instead of improvising and relying on what I could make up on the spot. I think of it as a story with a predefined beginning and ending with certain events that need to happen in between, but there's still a lot of improvisation and trying different routes between those events. Or then you could just think of it as all the coolest licks I've gathered along the years arranged into a sequence that tries to make some musical sense. :) Anyway, I really hope you enjoy the drum solo, and if you do, sharing it is much appreciated!

And what a great way to break in my new Impression cymbal setup: 15" traditional hihat, 18" traditional thin crash, 14" mixed wide china, 10" mixed splash, 21" x-hard thin ride, 17" hollister crash, 8" smooth splash, 12" trash splash on top of 16" traditional wide china, 20" smooth custom ride.

Drums are Yamaha Oak Custom 10",12",14",16" toms, 22" kick and snare is a WorldMax Black Dawg 14"x5".
