I decided I was gonna play a bit more than usual under the circumstances... The rest of the band was right there with me, so it all worked out.... So, I didn't overplay after all...

This one was fun!

Nice Don!

You have such a great groove man--always a pleasure to hear
D.L.

Excellent work Don! I was surprised that you were using a traditional grip for the most part on this clip considering the tight grooves and overall powerful playing.

Kind regards,
Anders

Dave, Anders,

Whenever those of us decide to open ourselves up like this when publicly posting our musical works, there's always the very likely risk of someone not liking what you've done and voicing those sentiments in either a rude or even a not so rude fashion.... I'd be a liar if I said I didn't enjoy THESE kinds of comments or that they didn't matter to me one way or the other...

Thanks, guys... Really!

D.

P.S. Anders, I'm really working hard to get traditional grip to be as second nature to me as matched grip is... It's not there yet but I'm making steady progress toward that goal.

Don, do you have more videofootage of yourself at the drums on youtube? I wouldn't mind seeing more. By the way, your bass player looks very much like Jeff Andrews, who plays here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GT96vUMKUmM

Kind regards,

Ha! Yeah, Anders, he does sorta look like Daniel. Cool player too!

Go here to see a bunch more of our band's clips. There are other groups that call themselves "The Joint Chiefs" but most of these are ours.
