Ricky The Drummer

Late last week, I discovered a bunch of really sweet drumming video's done by this kid named Ricky. He's talented, very talented, and quite the showman as well. On his youtube channel, he's put together a ton of videos of drum covers, which is pretty normal for the interwebz and musicians alike. What's not normal however, is the quality of the production of the videos, from both a visual and audio standpoint. Some serious time was spent recording and mixing the sounds, and it all ads up to some extremely entertaining drum videos. He covers a wide array of music types, and generally seems to be having the time of his life while playing, which is awesome. Drums are my escape and I miss my set terribly, but for the last week I've been playing them in my head through these videos. Below are a couple of my favorites, but I definitely recommend you spend a little time checking out the rest of them as well. Rock on Ricky, rock on. Enjoy!




This one is probably my favorite, because I've played this song a lot myself, but also because he takes a relatively simple drum part and really spices it up. Who knew double bass could work so well with New Found Glory?
