Nate Morton Drum Cam 17 - Just The Two Of Us

Thank goodness my gig is all about time and feel, because that's pretty much all I got. If you're looking for gospel chops, blistering technique and jaw-dropping licks, you have come to the wrong place, but if you enjoy getting a sneak peak into what's kept me employed as a professional musician, well here you go!

This video is the drumming performance of the Bill Withers tune, Just The Two Of Us, as performed by Michael Sanchez during The Voice Season 11, Knockout Rounds. Michael KILLED it... so talented that cat... -also a quick shout out to "Kenny E"... that's Eric, our keyboardist, lending some seriously sincere keyboard sax to that track... :)

This is the second Drum Cam video since Randy Faustino has been on board mixing sound for these and I'm so excited and proud to say, WOW... the audio is OUTSTANDING!!!! Between Steevo's video editing and Randy's mixes, it's getting to the point where the drumming is the LEAST impressive thing on my "drum cam" vids... lol...

For so long, I hated hearing my own double strokes... They were wonky and not at all in control. I spent hours practicing them... One thing I found that really helped was playing my double stroke rolls slowly and working on snapping my fingers to my palm in order to accent the second stroke of the double in each hand. I don't have the crispiest doubles in the world but I’m happy my diddling around on the hats has some amount of definition. Beyond that… welcome back to many of my old familiar licks… they’re like family to me at this point! :)

I hope there is something to be gained by viewing these drum cam vids… It is always my hope to provide a bit of insight into what I’m doing back there in the shadows on The Voice…

I hope you enjoy!
