**Once again thanks to my friend Tyler for video editing!Viewer Request #4 Danny Walker (Beat)MSH.Drums2015-01-09 | An interesting 11/8 groove from Danny Walker of Intronaut in their song "Harmonomicon". Its a very interesting lick, and not too difficult to learn (the song is fun to play along to). There is a base groove, and then some interesting stuff he adds in. In the studio recording, he throws these extra "flavor things" in seemingly randomly, but live there is more of a pattern to it.

It's a pad that you put on top of your snare drum that drops its pitch and makes it sound big and fat. ** I didn't mention it in the video, but It has a slight affect on stick response, by making the drum a little more "dead", but it is not too noticeable. They also have a version with a hole in the middle (called Steve's Donut) that helps address this.
