My name is Steve. I'm a professional drum teacher and gigging musician. I like talking about drums. Hopefully you will like listening to me talk about drums. Junkdrummer TV is the home of my React/Analysis videos, my drummer interview series "Know Your Roll" and other sundry drum items.
Due to my regular teaching practice being destroyed by recent events, I am now accepting remote students through Skype and Zoom. Please contact me at
junkdrummertv@gmail.com for details.

Who is this music for? It's for people who like this progressive music. Why do you listen to music that you don't like? Criticizing music that you don't like is mystifying.
You have no soul. You wrote this whle wearing white new balances while your wife stares at you regretting the day she gave up her life to live with such an unoriginal bore. She fantasizes about getting laid by a real man. Daily.
This guy would give his life to be as influential in drumming as Dave. He sounds more like a frustrated guy that needs to talk bad about other to feel good. Sorry for him
Another good reason to have 2 Drummers besides cool interplay is that its just fun. :') They have their roots in the garage rock scene but they evolved over the years.
Have you seen this one where Che is playing one of Don Cab's older songs? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4FQ_8k6Vvik.htmlsi=dPJDjv3UbWNa3U47
You said they probably weren’t going for a “punk rock philip glass” sound, but they actually were inspired by hypnotic classical music like Glass and Steve Reich, and have said as much in interviews
What I’m not a fan of, is what she’s doing. She’s acting like, she’s creating stuff and she’s so new age. Like she’s so artistically above everyone, but everything she’s doing has already been done. Her make up is obviously ripped off from the band kiss. Most of her artistically woke stuff, has already been around. I get it, that’s most kids today. Acting like they’re created a trend, yet it’s literally been around for decades. They just discovered it now tho and it’s not new. Yet, they keep acting like it is. Also, it’s not giving credit where credit is due. It doesn’t matter if you didn’t write the song JoJo. What matters is your lying to everyone and saying that you did. Karma is not your song and somebody else wrote it. Stop taking credit for things you didn’t do.
A couple of the Village People were straight actually.. But your point is still valid. When I first heard "gay pop" I said it was an oxymoron but I'm a bitter Gen X rocker who's been chewed up and spit out by the same music industry machine that's been pumping out formulaic corporate products and calling it "pop music" for 20 years.
dale bozzio.... r u for or againgst drag on kids or more do u get it the history, the rituals n parties, the symbolism, mardi gras u must know lol... u knew in 2008 n u know now my g ...
Person says stupid thing for attention. People give her attention. Now everyone talking about that person. Publicity stunt worked... and its nothing new.. its been part of the music industry for decades. Getting upset about this is like getting upset Bubba Ray Dudley insulted you in a ECW crowd.
Meshuggah and Pantera changed the whole metal scene. Death metal completely changed after Destroy/Erase/Improve and metalcore is (to varying degrees one way or the other) a Meshuggah/Pantera hybrid. At The Gates and Slayer get all the press for influencing metalcore (and that may have been true in the late-90’s og scene) but, to me, Meshuggah and Pantera influenced the drumming and riffs more than any other bands.
Wait a minute. These guys sound like a bad garage band. The drummer is saying to himself "I can't believe I'm playing this garbage. I will never get hired by any legitimate bands. How will I maintain my chops? I'm so screwed".
I saw this on my recommended and I got a bit of a lump in my throat and had to watch it from someone else's perspective knowing Cadets aren't going to be performing ever again. Sucks too, Cadets were one of the first drum coprs I got introduced to and the first drum corps I watched perform live when I toured with Spirit of Atlanta in 2000. It hurts that part of my youth is gone now. Feels bad, man
I just want to say, if you want to release a long video, you should release a long video! The performance from baard certainly deserves a full breakdown!
The most annoying thing here is not just the bullshit opinion and keep on asking "Who's this music for" to something and someone's who accomplished 1000x than you'll ever be, it's the mere fact you can't even give us any valid reason why Dave Weckl is bad. You do know that music preference differs from each person. Also, a real teacher won't act this way especially against someone's just as universally respected and loved. What a clown.
Patrick Keeler has been my favorite drummer for over 14 years, and I’m a guitar player. His work on Consolers of the Lonely is what made me notice. I got to see the Greenhornes live back in 2010, and I watched him during the whole set. I haven’t checked out the Afghan Whigs albums he’s played on yet, but I’m sure it’s great.
“If you don’t have ability, you wind up in a rock band” ~ Buddy Rich This guy is a rock/metal drummer and “teacher”. Cant play to the level of jazz drummers. Video was annoying and he should stay in his lane and keep reacting to Lars l
There is an art with both. Jazz is more mechanical, embracive with dynamics. Rock is more emotional and orchestrative. There is a reason why most jazz drummers cant play like legendary rock drummers like John Bonham or Keith Moon and great rock drummers like Dave Grohl couldn't play a samba or swing for poop. Also grouping metal with rock is incorrect. Metal requires much more footwork, wrist control and speed. Joey Jordison is in a different place than a rock drummer.
@@tonydean4277 charts my friend….irregardless of speed - jazz drum charts are extremely complex and they are very orchestrated. I saw a video with Dave Grohl at a drum clinic sitting next to Weckl and Steve Smith on stage. They interviewed each drummer. When theh got to Grohl he he looks down at Weckl and Smith and then says - “I don’t even know why I’m here”. Metal can be fun - but it gets old quick. Singles, doubles, blast beats - rinse and repeat
@@user-nv2gw1tt5o I can play jazz as great as any great. The only difference is that I don't read music. The culture of a genre doesn't necessarily define the skill in it. Most metal gets old but just listening to the intro of eyeless by slipknot gets me hyped up every time. The orchestration in creative metal drumming is as impressive as the jazz dynamics. Including the footwork in metal matching the technicality of the fast hands in jazz. Also never said Grohl was on the same level as Weckl or Smith. I just feel obligated to respect the drummers with more raw emotion and power in their playing, since most people at my level just belittle anybody who doesnt suck off the jazz giants.
@@tonydean4277 so he claim - you can play just as good as Weckl, Steve Smith, Lee Pearson, Vinnie, Tony Williams, Buddy Rich? Lol. Never heard of you. Are there videos backing up your claim?
@@tonydean4277 and it’s not about “sucking off jazz giants”. Again - it’s simple, metal is not complicated when played slow. Jazz is by far more complex than metal ever will be. Doesn’t mean jazz is for everyone.
To me, it always comes down to them getting to the lyrics - yeah, these bosses could play at speed, but damn it, EC has some crap to say!!!! That's hw opens my mind.
