Non-drummer here, but a singer/guitar. I found this to be really good to watch and helpful to remind me of what to look for in a drummer for my next band.

1 mistake that keep me from getting Gigs: "That guy that ate a Bat 🦇 a year ago" Awesome video Gabe, Cheers from the DR 🇩🇴🤙🏽

Once again, one of the best drummers of the world

Joining DBO Academy was a game changer for me.Just 1 and a half weeks and I aleeady feel more confident and I have a little bit more creativity behind the drums! It's a difference when you put the work and don't have a plan,messing with different things from the internet and putting the work with courses that are progressive and fun! Love DBO!

I love how Gabe sometimes just sit down and talk things to musicians who want play pro or be in a band or wanted to play they first gig like in this video. And it’s seams so simple. But at the same time needed so much! Now I had two albums, even if it’s small and not well known or world wide known, with my band. But when I was younger I’d like to now such things that Gabe talk in his videos 😀

Love it Gabe!! Thanks for everything you do! You have helped me out so much.

All very important aspects of a great drummer. Great video, thanks.

Maybe do something explaining how or where to actually find gigs, for people in music school they are surrounded with other musicians, but for other people its hard to find gigs to audition for

Great advice brother 👊🏼 Keep up the good vibes 😎

Just finished the drum lessons and a video from Gabe is online😄 I love it!

Insane video as always! Love this one🤘

Great advice all round!

Do you have a video on how you personally write out quick cheat drum charts or drum charts in general? Started searching but missed it if so

Hey, preparation, cooperation, and understanding is key to getting a gig and experience! Great list!

As far as over playing or in the pocket goes, the best advice I ever heard was "serve the song".

Personally I would disagree, a simple beat much more effective in a way. People can feel the groove and rhythm much better with a simple beat.

@@zefunkya that is very true, the real skill is recognising what sounds better and making choices. Songwriting as well is a larger skill than to actually be able to play very well. Some of the best and most recognisable songs are literally dead simple.

That is so true

*You're

I reached out to some guys 6 years ago and they wanted me to audition well I had no CD or anything to learn the songs before hand . And they expected me to know the song before hand not very professional in my eyes on their end so anyways I played but didn’t get the gig surprise surprise right ? It’s all because they didn’t give me the right preparation.

I love it when you say hello my beautiful friends

3:39 where can I get this track?

I actually landed a gig because of this lesson

who won the cymbal?

Ok but your overplaying was dope

I love that your dynamic mistake was playing too soft, because ~that's~ always the problem. lol [I hope it's clear how good natured this comment is meant. I'm 100% with you on the importance of dynamics, but it seems like "too loud" is the stereotypical dynamic problem for drummers and so your too soft example just made me giggle. Great video! Thanks for the thoughts!]

Number 5 can also be called having the ability to improvise with others.

What's the best places that you play in a gig?

John Mayer? Adelle? I don't know about this...

Wait, what if I'm just irresistibly good-looking? Do I still have to do all that other stuff?

I feel that overplaying part is good but in this case the drummer is in pocket and on beat but playing way to much.

I've never heard someone play metal quietly like that lol, very odd

I rather the over played version on your example !

Kinda missing reliable gear/equipment as a point, which is unfortunately underrated...

@DrumBeatsOnline

Totally, it depends on the gear of course. I think top priority would be decent cymbals/kick pedal/drum heads. Outside of that, if you can tune and your cymbal stands can work well enough then you are in good shape!
