Hello! My name is George Hutton and I'm a drum educator and musician based in the north east of England. This channel is a place for me to share my project - "1 solo, 1 take: every day" Thanks for stopping by! George
Hell yeah, man! Catching up on your latest uploads, leaving stupid comments. Your content is very inspiring. Your internal tempo is really great. The scale downs are a testament on how one can still write a song with nothing but a couple things,..or less? You've probably done it somewhere on your channel. I'll see it if you did. Cheers!
Thank you thank you thank you - that means a lot. I've done some weird set ups in the past - single splash, ride + tom, single snare. Got some other fun combinations planned too for the future...
This is great, dude. Atmospheric with the lighting and blackness of upper toms, etc. A request..since you couldn't pull off the simmons hexagonal drum pads in the canoe, you can make it up to all of us (I know we all want the exact same thing I do) by playing a regular old electric kit, scaled way, WAY down..and have the cymbal sections of hit areas with those ugly black rubber pads decorated with a thin enough brass cut out to give some shimmer to the rubber bullshit we've all grown to hate more and more over time. In being serious, I really like the way you've tuned the toms to almost have the kettle a touch higher. Very musical, needs no accompaniment. Nice and chill, stating the obvious with lit lower zoned skin nix. Do you have any tracks out there? All the best!😀😀
Thanks so much for taking the time to write up such a long comment - I really appreciate it!! I would get on that BUT I don't have an electric kit I'm afraid. Thanks for the lovely feedback - warms my heart. I have some music coming out soon. I'll share it on my channel when it's all ready to go :)
Thanks buddy. It was super late when I got back from my holiday so had to keep the volume down for my neighbours sake... Came out really nice though I think!
Thanks buddy! It was very late when I got back from my holiday and the room light made the room look stale and cold, so thought I'd experiment a bit...
Thanks man - yeah, joy and fun. Every time we play should feel like the first time we ever played. It's hard to maintain that feeling as we get older... I was feeling it here though!
Thanks so much. I appreciate you taking the time to comment bud. Yeah, I was going for a military march vibe - hence the buzzy buzzes and that left foot that wants to get marching haha. I pretty much always bounce my left foot to the pulse of what I'm playing... Glad you dig it!
Thanks buddy! Glad you liked it. I really enjoyed playing this one - I was feeling playful and light. It's such a beautiful place where I'm staying. Sadly I'm going home tomorrow...
Thanks buddy! I use a zoom q2n-4k - it does the video and has great inbuilt mics! And it's really decently priced. Zoom should be sponsoring me for this kinda promotion! Thanks for taking the time to comment bud. Means a lot.
Thanks so much bud. I loved playing in this particular spot. Whacking the snare and hearing it reverberate and echo around the whole valley - special stuff.
Man, thank you. He's one my all time favourite drummers so that is a comparison I'm very happy with. Thanks for the ongoing support buddy - much appreciated!
The double snare hit is really growing on me. I remember a few months ago it still didn’t connect to the core. But in this solo the tone of it really Carries the groove.
Bro your becoming so good!!!! Keep Thinking about the music as you are doing now. You will definitely reach a certain level where you will be viewed as a amazing drummer. People wil push all kinds of labels of talents and push onto you what they don’t understand. But never forget. You know where it came from. It came from isolation. It came from being open minded. It came from listening without judging and finding vallue in sound. When you get to a certain level other there’s going to be a lot of show offs who will try to distract you from the essence. Keep doing you. It’s been a joy watching your progression. It’s a simple style but every hit has depth and is connected.
I can't like this comment enough. THANK YOU. So many times I've already felt that distraction - to try to be fast, loud, and to show-off. But reading your words really brings home the truth. That's not me. But what I can play, and say, on the drums is more than enough. Thank you so much for the ongoing support, encouragement and words of wisdom!
