Helping to identify my Playing style and influence


Okay guys i really need some expert advice i've been playing Drums for about 2 years now and im having a hard time identifying the style im best for if any drummers have influence on my playing I grew up listening to all types of music country/metal/rock/pop and listen to everything from Sleeping with sirens, toby keith, The Who, zeppelin, AC/DC... death metal.... techno you name it.. I recently opened up a youtube channel youtube.com/h1ghvol7age and have simple pop type songs and other mixes im wondering if you guys could take a look im mainly trying to identify where i draw my style i recently switched up to a double bass kit but it doesent feel right I felt better at a 4 piece single pedal 3 cymbal kit but im so mixed about the whole thing please help me guys if you can spare an opinion... constructive criticism is very welcome

My advice would be to simply play what you enjoy and not worry about labels. Record execs like labels so they don't have to think.

If you've played with different musicians in different settings and there are certain settings that you are being invited back to, that might be an indication of what you are excelling at. Things may change over time though.

Your tastes sound very diverse, which I think is a good thing. No doubt your eclectic taste might prove useful around other musicians who are equally eclectic.

As I do sit-ins for those drummers that can't show up in for the moment during studio rehersals, I fill in for them.

This also takes many genres of music to learn.

Maybe that's your destiny in the drumming world. Maybe that's your style, to "expand you horizons the best way you know how" and best of all, to enjoy doing it.

We live in a post-modern artistic era my friend. The more versatile you are the better off you'll be. Just keep doing what you love.
