Comments on: “Hot For Teacher” – DRUMS only http://www.vhnd.com/2008/12/05/hot-for-teacher-drums-only/ The Latest News & Info about The Mighty Van Halen Tue, 27 Dec 2011 23:29:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Paul D http://www.vhnd.com/2008/12/05/hot-for-teacher-drums-only/comment-page-1/#comment-58039 Paul D Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:38:33 +0000 http://www.vhnd.com/?p=529#comment-58039 Just came across this site and have to comment. No one in the world can play that with one bass drum. Clearly overdubbing in the intro, not the most amazing either but suits the song perfectly. Anyway, are you a drummer Michael Anderson? There are a lot of drummers out there that can play a flurry of single stroke licks and driving beats on bass drums that is IMPOSSIBLE, yet they can do it. I would love to hear someone like you play a 3 minute song with power behind 16th note triplets on a single bass drum, thru the whole song even at a mere 90bpm and some guys can play much faster. Try it - a "mere cheap trick" "a cheat?" I think not. Just came across this site and have to comment. No one in the world can play that with one bass drum.

No Popular da minha terrinha "o melhor Baterista". Principalmente nesta música, podemos destacar na intro a genialidade dele. Usando uma levada de dois Bumbos com rufos no surdo...numa junção perfeita! Na atualidade observamos grandes nomes na bateria, mas, Alex é um dos poucos bateristas de sua época que consegue se atualizar e reinventar levadas que não fiquem ultrapassadas no tempo...very gooood Alex!!!
