Punk Drumming

[Masato]

Hey all

Been getting a serious itch lately to wrangle up a scrappy bunk band here and try this.

I played drums when I was a teenager, I even took lessons etc and was pretty good for a young kid, but it was pre-weed and also before I discovered punk music.

Now I crank this shit all the time while driving, and 1 of the things I really love about new-school skate punk is the fast off-beat drumming. Its so different from the traditional rock-style drum beats I learned, but I pound away in the car a lot and feel my limbs are starting to figure it out.

Anyways here is a cool vid from some kid who plays the beats from a shitload of songs/bands from Epitaph Records, a label known for having some of the best newschool punk bands around.

Its been over 20 years since I've touched a drum set.
