To me it sounds very generic. I rarely listen to drummers on their own because I always focus on the end product which is the song. I find this guy very good, but his recordings are, yes, flat sounding, songs are not what I enjoy listening too and even If I did, I'm pretty sure there's better music ...

Why don´t just ask him? Not trying to be and smartass, but if he´s your teacher, he´ll be happy to share details about what he´s doing... right? hehe you got me wrong, Julián. I don't study WITH him.

Although I'm still at a very early stage of where I wanna be at in a year or so, I can't help but to smil...

Hi y'all. I have started practicing single strokes again for the 100th time now. Its been 1 1/2 month since I started and I'm keeping track of my progress. It started out really bad as I was getting frustrated with my current speed but in the last couple weeks there was some noticeable improvements ...
