JMT3781 Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Some of you will probably hate this band (and i can understand why lets not open that can of worms again lol) but i'm literally left speechless... [url="http://www.youtube.com/dirtyloops#p/a/u/1/9p0liJrxyyM"]http://www.youtube.com/dirtyloops#p/a/u/1/9p0liJrxyyM[/url] if only rihanna had played it like that when i saw her i wouldn't have fallen asleep lol Guys voice is good though, kinda like stevie wonder mixed with JK i think Edited July 27, 2011 by JMT3781 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leschirons Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I didn't mind that at all to be honest. I think the singer is a Stevie Wonder stalker. However, he can sing. As you say Stevie / JK melange. Loved the drummer. Bass player? can obviously play, and a bit of posing never caused any trouble did it? I general, I liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMT3781 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Yeh i liked how he lays it down, and only really goes over the top when he is doubling the other two being over the top lol Edited July 27, 2011 by JMT3781 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilddx Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Ain't wrecked braa, bin workin! If you want an example of when technique ends and music begins, this is a superb one! Their vibe is incredible! The Just Dance vid is seriously bollock expanding. I just wanted to get straight on my drum kit and play along! Such a f***ing shame I'm selling it tomorrow. Found out I am developing arthritis and the impact on my fingers of playing kit is making playing guitar and bass painful. Anyways, I adore these guys, they shine like diamonds in a beach of dull pebbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJE Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Amazing! absolutely loved that and i want to see more. What a player, really good tasteful slap and great sound too. I want a TRB now, surely buying one will make me play like that? No, oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 A lot of talent there, but as a whole, it doesn't quite work for me. Instrumentally, great fusiony stuff which imo would sit well under some crazy horns, rather than a very poppy voice. Likewise, i think the vocals would be better suited to a pop setting. Maybe that mix is what mak[i][/i]es them stand out, it just doesn't work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a kit with rubber pads your technique has to be really good or you'll end up with all sorts of pain, it's not quite so bad on mesh heads but still important. It might be worth getting a few drum lessons and focussing on the hands before giving up and selling the kit. Drumstick material can make a big difference to the amount of shock that gets transferred into your hands, definitely stay away from carbon sticks or extra tough sticks!

I have had my drummers check my technique and they seem to think it's ok. The problem is, I play kit for fun, and a big part of that fun is the physical aspect of hitting them fairly hard I have no ambition to be anything but a home player, and I'll just get frustrated having the kit around if I can't really have a good crack on them. And the money will be useful too. Thanks again. N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-bbb Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 dirtyloops is good but just a couple of odd occasions where it seems like theyre throwing in just that little bit too much syncopation and trying to be too clever - and nobody likes a smarty pants do they but on the whole very slick and good technical playing all round - jolly well done 8/10 but anybody who can play bass like that with a straight face in their underpants takes the prize im afraid cardiacs win - no contest!

The melody of the song (that's what it is is, yeah?) is lost trying to fit it round all the syncopation. It grooves, but a bit w*anky for my liking and sounds a bit like a flashy demo on a posh keyboard. Edited July 28, 2011 by danhkr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
