December 6th 2015. I've been playing with these "hot rod" sticks a lot the past few months. They help me remember to maintain control of my dynamics. I'd encourage everyone to try and practice with them and play with them at church if you're having a volume control problem. p.s. I know my cymbal sounds like crap, hopefully I'm going to get one for Christmas from the wife ;) I'm probably going to go with a real cheap ride for now because I don't have the 400 dollars for the one I want ha Social Things INSTA - @chrisbair TWITTER - @chrisbair FB - facebook.com/bairdrums ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5ZnKS2Dw5I

Got a bunch of stuff to record proper videos ? Here's a little sound check. Still figuring out some things. Kick drum sounds terrible lol but I'll be working out the kinks over the next few days. Here's to consistent uploads ? p.s. I bought a 23" Zildjian K Sweet Ride ? In 14 years of drumming it is the first brand new cymbal I've ever purchased ❤️️ Follow me on instagram for more posts and stuff. It's also a great way to request songs etc. - @chrisbairdrummer ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yR9yC--GTU

Don't get lazy and let the basics slip away from you! Another thing I've been doing really bad with is how far back I hold the sticks, which makes me slow and sloppy. I think it's time for some pad work, I seriously haven't done anything on a practice pad in 3 years. Sigh. lol What are you working on? Let me know! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIXBaMBFIxk

Hey friends, it is important to play many different styles of music! Country/Southern music has been a major influence on my drumming in the past few years. I love how simple most songs are but they are so tasteful. Anyways, thanks for watching and subscribing! I'm excited for the future of this channel and to grow together as drummers and musicians :) Song: Traveller Artist: Chris Stapleton Purchase his album here! http://umgn.us/TravellerCS Special thanks to UMG Nashville for sponsoring this video!
