RATIONAL FUNK Ep. 1: Intro / The Drum Is a Telephone / Tell YOUR Story 

Quite possibly the greatest drum / life instructional series available online or anywhere for that matter. Bravo.

so this is what happens when drummers talk....

What did he say about pterodactyls? I missed it cause a pterodactyl flew by my window while he was talking. F*cking pterodactyls.

привет всем русскоязычным )))) после нескучного саунда тут оказался и офигел прикольный чувак )))

This is why they put the drummers at the back

Great channel. And I hate pterodactyls too.

Ah, this is where it all started. Greatest series on RU-vid, time to start it again.

"there's no room for second guessing sh** when you're an artist." True life lessons by Dave

The Louis CK of drumming (edit: minus the non-consensual carrot cuffing of course)

I was also raised a Lutheran in a Lutheran town. We've got that Lutheran feel.

Is there an unedited version? I want the bad words.

I just threw my "smart" phone in Lake Superior. How the fuck am I supposed to call my mom now? Also I don't have a drum...did I do it right? I can start a fire at least. And I know where Starbucks is but I'm staying away from there. On a side note, I made an amazing painting of a pterodactyl swooping up on Carhenge.

700 fucking thousand years ago.... damn right. tell it. church

This doesn't feel six years old. Mentions Hulu. Ok nevermind

Stephen Taylor sent me! =D thank you both!

Where-is-the-near-est-star-bucks, I'll think of that next time I do a 7 stroke roll.

I'm only here for the "industry secrets"

Cant wait to see where this channel goes

"I love lamp." - Anchorman

no one is more inspirational for practicing than this guy

Great Levon Helm impression

Is this an episode of Drunk History?

Thanks to Scott Abels for bringing me here. I've been playing drums as an amateur for 25 years and I feel the need to reconsider not only my playing but also my general approach on music. This is exactly the direction I wanted to take. Thanks again Scott and thanks Dave.

Few things are harder to watch than somebody Trying to be funny...

What a friggin' lunatic. Love it!

I'd rather watch this than anything on Netflix

"Or y'know, whatever" -Blad God

Education AND entertainment . . . Please bring back this show!

Ok, kinda wired but, but I get what he's trying to say.... Grate channel man keep it up dud

First real life instruction: "Of u r an artist, u don't second guess shit".

I've learned more watching Dave for ten minutes than I have in 49 years of hard scrabble life. FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I feel free.

This series is amazing.

Marty Jackson would be so proud you, Dave. Rant on Brother!

anybody know what song is played in the first minute on the background?

Gee, I wonder if Glenn Fricker is watching this, hmmm

This IS pure therapy (for my drum addiction)!

Golly, such a great beginning!

This guy had to have gone on to have a career in comedy after this series discontinued.

Nice!

Awesome!

What drumsticks is he using at 6:30?

wtf?

Swearing is so cool.

My instructional video will make your taints swollen. Type in "Kip Wanger" or "Hyper Flam". It's part of the Neutered Stallion Home Network. I apologize for desecrating this thread with petty solicitation, but it must done.

This is like a bad imitation of Tim and Eric.

I was with you the whole time and digging the life lessons until you put humans and pterodactyls together. Never happened. Drumming booty call, and Starbucks by the babbling brook, I can believe, but flying reptiles and humans did not co-exist. Just a little thing, but as a biologist I am a stickler for details. But side from that, I have a question about your craft: why don't you play on your knees more - like Trilok Gurtu? I mean that guy is a killer drummer - well, percussionist - and he can't even afford a chair. Maybe that's the distinction between drummers and percussionists - chair vs. no chair? I would love some insight into this.

Forty-five seconds of wit and wisdom condensed into ten minutes flat. This guy is as full of himself as you can get without exploding.

I appreciate your putting some information out there but all the swearing does not make you sound cool or impress anyone. Speaking of "life instruction" consider that younger people might be watching this and it sets a poor example of how to communicate as an adult and professional. When your language just turns into beeps it's irritating. Lastly you have no idea of the skill level of people watching your video....so maybe it's not a great idea to assume that there is no "f...way you'll get this". It's off putting....Bad minus.
