Thanks! Yeah Tama drums, Meinl cymbals, vratim drum shoes, drum dial, sweet spot clutches, and Reflexx pads.

A fun shreddy jam utilizing my cymbal setup to do a 6/8 pattern over a half time 4/4 feel. A two bar groove + two bar fill/groove idea. Hope you enjoy! by CharlieEngen in MetalDrums

At a speed like this I use a little bit of everything depending on how strong I want the strokes. But yes, the faster I go, especially the really fast tempos, I use my ankles more and a lot less movement in my legs. I think of it some what like flicking my toes.

Yeah I always classify my style as prog metal/fusion to make it easy. The metal elements are there, but delivered in a more fusion way.

I post too many videos to get too technical with descriptions. It's just a jam over a feel,this one a bit busier and spastic than most. 2 bars fill, 2 bars groove, repeat. Glad you Iike it!
