This is the most influential, insane, amazing drum video I have ever seen. Adam, you are THE MAN. This will be on repeat for me until you film your next one (;
Thank you for the video reply! We actually have a series for drummers called the Beat It! You should RU-vid It! Adam will be featured in our next episode. Are you a drummer as well?
**Pause rewind repeat, pause rewind repeat, pause rewind repeat. Practice that trick over and over** And finally got it! Ive learned 90% of my trick from You man. Fucking beast!!! You and Matt Both!
I wanna hear the GK set in person! This vid was rad \m/

The camera movements were to dense for me, I like some production on videos but at a time I felt dissy, just to much for me, but this guy is increeeeeeeedibly talented, hope to see more videos.
Nicholas the reason we shoot the way we do is a style we chose to engage more than just drummers for this video. We like the fact that we stand out above all the other videos people do. Every person who is not a drum lover that we've shown has stayed engaged. Everyone is entitled to their opinions.
springwoodprod Moving camera is a nice change from the static camera that you see in most drum playthroughs and cover videos. But some of the shake is too much for objective camera perspective and sometimes looks unintentional. Consider using moving camera when it's motivated by segments of the song ... the same way you used slowmo at 0:43 which is motivated by the break in the song and the drumstick trick (:
springwoodprod I can assure you this doesn't help to engage more people than just drummers for this video. Standing out above the rest is a good thing, but this isn't adding any production value and is just taking away the fact that it's a drum playthrough. Instead I would suggest using more camera angles (like maybe a top view) and introducing more motivated camera movement. for example a slider shot for the foot cam.. It looks totally awesome but is hardly used by anyone on youtube. One last thing I would suggest is keeping the horizon steady because otherwise it's very unpleasant to watch. and yes, of course everyone is entitled to their opinions, but as a videographer and drummer myself I just wanted to tell you my opinion :)
NameleSsdrummer96 I appreciate the thoughts. Maybe you can send me a link of some things that you've shot that demonstrate what you are talking about. This is honestly a style choice and saying that it engages more people isn't something pulled out of thin air but rather consistent feedback from non drummers. A playthrough maybe is the wrong terminology for what was posted. I like the idea of the slider moving in on the foot. My personal email is jgarcia@springwoodproductions.com. I'd like to see your work.
The camera movement definitely took away from the performance IMO, less is more! But I loved this video regardless, Adam is a beast and this song definitely shows his talent. Keep doing your thing man!
This is so tight. I do have one question, though: on the GK Instagram, you have the sizes listed as 10x9, 12x9.75, 16x14, and 20x17.75 (source): instagram.com/p/mnir_alDbC/?modal=true But in the description here, you have different depths. Is this a new kit that looks exactly the same, but with slightly different depths, or was there a mismeasurement, or am I missing something? Just curious.
I love how Springwood is trying to justify the camera movements... If one person disliked them, and everyone else loved them, I can see why you might want to point out to that one person why you do them. But if half the comments are complaining about it, just cut your losses, realize that people don't like them, and adjust for the next video. No hate intended, and I can appreciate the artistic aspect of it, but it's just too much. Tone it down a touch.
Why people have this terrible need of comparing every drummer to Luke Holland. Luke has a very unique style and he definitely knows how to play drums. I find the criticizing of professional drummers very immature.
