PUSH PULL BLAST BEAT CRASH COURSE Mike Caputo 2023-06-09 | An extremely fast, abridged version of how you can get your left hand comfortable doing push pull between my kicks for blast beats. THE PRINCIPLES CAN ALSO BE APPLIED TO ANY OTHER TECHNIQUE. ALWAYS PRACTICE WITH A METRONOME AND AT A SPEED THAT IS COMFORTABLE AND CONSISTENT FOR YOU! This video was too long to be a short and I feel like it's good information to have, so I'm uploading it here as a regular video!Follow meInstagram: instagram.com/mikecaputodrumsTikTok: tiktok.com/@mikecaputodrumsI proudly play:Czarcie Koptyo PedalsFootblaster Kick TriggerLos Cabos DrumsticksVratim Drum Shoes

Learning to mentally lead blast beats with your feet not your hands makes your right hand feel free! Mike Caputo 2023-06-01 | One of the most important things I learned for playing traditional (or "split") blast beats is to mentally lead with your feet, and not your hands. Doing this frees up your non-snare hand to do accents or basically any pattern you want, while keeping kick and snare stable and consistent. It's really awkward at first because traditionally your ear wants the snare to be the downbeat and not the upbeat like it is in these kinds of blast beats. Even if you're not going to play extreme metal, I think it's still a good speed and coordination exercise to work on.#czarciekopyto #footblaster #loscabosdrumsticks #vratim #doublebass #drums #drumming #blastbeats #drummer #metalmusic #metal #metaldrummer #fastdrumming #practicepad #mikecaputo #drumlessons #drumlessons

Mike Caputo Czarcie Kopyto Pedal Settings Mike Caputo 2022-09-26 | I get asked about my pedal settings CONSTANTLY, so here's a video about them! I go over every single setting on my pedals and the reason why I have them set the way I do, as well give you a demo of my singles and doubles technique. I basically never make videos where I actually talk to the camera so this was a bit out of my comfort zone, but I hope you find it informative and maybe some of these settings will work for you.0:00 Intro0:18 Settings5:11 Pedal/foot technique demoI proudly endorse:Czarcie Kopyto pedalsFootblaster Kick Trigger (use code mikecaputo at checkout for 15% off a pair of Footblaster Kick Triggers at footblaster.com)Scorpion Percussion sticksVratim drum shoes

Rings of Saturn - The Husk (Mike Caputo drum cam EU 2020) Mike Caputo 2020-11-06 | Here's a drum cam I found today of The Husk from our last tour in EU before COVID, live in Manchester. Excuse the slop, this was in the middle of a tour with no days off and it's the last song of the night every night (after playing for Traitors AND Rings every night). I just wanted to get something up online since I can't record any covers currently, and people always ask to see this song anyway.I proudly endorse:Czarcie Kopyto pedalsFootblaster kick triggerScorpion Percussion drum sticks
Mike Caputo Single Stroke Double Bass 200bpm 1 minute Mike Caputo 2020-09-14 | I haven't done any endurance exercises in months, so I need to work on this more. I used to be relaxed at this tempo for this length of time but now I'm kinda pushing a little bit to get this, not good. Gotta get back to work.
Mike Caputo heel toe double stroke example Mike Caputo 2020-09-11 | Since I've been getting comments about my double bass technique in my recent playthrough video, here's an example of my double stroke technique. This is straight audio from my phone, played on a rubber practice pad. The clicking you hear is my footboard hitting my Footblaster triggers (which are not plugged in during this video), I also didn't warm up at all before this, as I'm in the process of setting my kit back up in my room. Done at a slow-ish speed because as stated, no warm up beforehand.Also, I use single strokes sometimes as well, even at the same tempo as using double strokes. Just depends on the pattern being played and my body position as to which technique feels more comfortable to do.
Mike Caputo - Rings of Saturn - Inadequate (Studio Playthrough) Mike Caputo 2020-09-08 | I'm very excited to announce that after a little over 2 years of being a live member, I'm officially a full member of Rings of Saturn! To commemorate this, I made a little playthrough of Inadequate for you all!

Gunther - Ding Dong Song (Twitch drum cover) Mike Caputo 2020-07-20 | Semi-blind cover live from my Twitch stream 7/20/20. Pardon the mistakes/dropped frames (my internet has been acting up so I dropped a lot of frames). I was just jamming and having fun but my brain/body didn't want to work together in some spots. Haven't heard this song in years. OHHHHHHHH YOU TOUCH MY TRALALA
Mike Caputo - Periphery - New Groove (drum cover) Mike Caputo 2020-06-26 | Did this on a whim MONTHS ago (as shown by me being in my old practice room and my old camera mic setup), but never put it on YouTube. Missed basically every cymbal accent but I don't care, it's a fun song to just groove (lol) to. Just wanted to put something up for you guys to let you know I'm alive. I also stream on Twitch once or twice a week drumming to song requests. I post on my Instagram story before I go live on Twitch, so follow me on IG and Twitch and let's hang out.Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/mikecaputodrumsIG: http://www.instagram.com/mikecaputodrums
Mike Caputo - Traitors - FULL SET (WITH SOUNDBOARD AUDIO) Mike Caputo 2020-03-19 | Live drum cam of the full set from Oberhausen, Germany. Audio for the intro is camera audio, all audio afterwards is audio live off the soundboard. I learned the set 3 days before tour and was pulling double duty with Rings of Saturn the whole tour. You can see me flipping through my notes to the next song in my binder while still playing the current song. At this point in the tour I had the songs mostly memorized, I mainly just used it to remember the setlist.

Mike Caputo - Soreption - 2 - Drum Cover Mike Caputo 2020-02-12 | This one's a good foot workout. Tony Westermark has great endurance. Also I'm aware that everything doesn't sound that great, my computer died so I haven't been able to work on my EQing and all that jazz, plus the heads on my kit are pretty worn out. Finally got a new computer and just wanted to get a new video up ASAP.
