Thank you so much. The root of that impression is the creativity of Nicko McBrain's drumming . I continue to learn a lot from listening to his performances.
At your age can you play for 3 hrs. When I was playing my drums I would play that long. But I didn't play as technically stuff. Can your body handle extended playing times. I hear people that are aging and trying to play drums can't do it. But I look at the drummers, Nuclear Assault he was in his 60's until he retired, Neil Peart, Buddy Rich he was sooo good at his age he was still hammering it out. Just curious.
If it's a gentle hitting technique, I can do it for 8 hours as long as I don't get mentally bored. However, if the song is HR/HM, and I personally love the song because I have a strong emotional attachment to it, I naturally become excited and use my whole body to hit hard (a lot of waste), and my physical energy is quickly exhausted. So when I record a performance for this channel, it is 2-3 hours. Of course, by the end of the recording session I am exhausted, and six hours later my muscles are sore all over. Even professional drummers, whose performances are astonishingly ageless, must feel the difference in sensation from when they were younger. I am sure each individual is struggling and making decisions about how to deal with and tolerate it. And that the possibilities of drum playing are greatly influenced not only by age, but also by genre and technique.
@@ishi-hrdrums I understand, I was reading on the foo fighters drummer 🥁 how he was dealing with playing and aging but I think he had alot of other mental issues he was struggling with. Other than you, GnR original drummer were inspiring to me. What got me into wanting to learn the drums was Bill Ward from Black Sabbath. Your drums sound so good. I can close my eyes and it's like I'm there it doesn't even sound like I'm listening to a drum cover. But I can hear your mistakes when to me you hadn't played the song enough. Maybe do to you don't know the song structure like you should. That's the best advice I've ever got, was the drummer for Foreigner said don't learn to play the drums but learn the song structure. When you understand that it opens up a whole new world. Since I've played guitar 🎸 since 1986 I know about song structure and it makes since to know the song and not the drums. Before I even learned the drums for April Wine song on my channel, I listened to the song and air played the drums and pretty much knew them, because I had learned the song structure, I had it in my head or something I guess I remembered the song enough and picked up the song quick. The drummer like to cymbal crash alot and I don't. But over all what I played was close enough. Also when you know the song structure, it takes a listen or two to remember how things go I find out. Well thanks for your input on drummer 🥁
@@SeanDuranMusic Learning the structure of a song is most important. You are absolutely right. My playing is rather prone to all kinds of mistakes. In fact, this is where I am battling not physical fitness but an aging memory, something I didn't really feel until I was in my 40s, but now it takes more time and practice repetition than ever before to learn a new piece of music. When I was younger, I could just listen to a piece a few times or visualize it and immediately play it the way I thought it should be played, but now it is not so easy. It takes a lot of practice, especially to suppress easy improvisational reactions and to play exactly as I imagined. However, despite my continued practice, when I started to record, I found that I made more mistakes in different places in each take, so I gave up on such songs that were not perfect and released them as they were. I feel bad for my followers who want to hear a song with a high level of perfection, but this is my performance ability and I want to try as many songs as possible, so I switch to the next song🤣
