New HoD Video Lesson: Drum Set Drags

[Steve Holmes]

First instructional vid in some time! Again I'm pleased with the sound I got (Garage Band no less). This is a cool phrase based on a simple sticking I learned in High School marching band actually. This is just some of the ideas you can do with it on the kit. Fun stuff!

flam the first accent and you've got a flam drag I believe. There's vinnie solo out there somewhere in which he does that at some insane speed. good chop builder.

Another name for that, the "non-alternating" kind anyway, is the Blushda. Vinnie described it that way in a clinic video somewhere.

EDIT: Yeah, I'm definitely stealing that stuff right away.... Sounds great.
