General

A short video with drum solo material - lots of CHOPS hands and feet . A side note to this video - Theres fast runs on the toms . As im playing these IM hearing them in a melodic way . Any guitarists/keyboardists want to match it note for note ala dream theater look me up :O) Drum Solo

.. Heres my version of a one man band - Im playing the bass guitar with my bass drum and triggering keyboard and guitar samples with my cymbals . Heres a funk groove I came up with - FUN STUFF :O) Funk Groove with my Rolands
..

Heres A Groove In 11/8 . Theres a break in it , keep tapping your foot. I come back in on the one - do you???... :O) ..> ..> ..> Heres One that only fellow drummers will most likley get. It's a Ostinato with a latin feel that I start off using my left hand on the electronics playing the lead. Then switch to my right hand on the toms playing the lead. FUN STUFF and great to see how far you can take it . This will work your Independence and Improvasational skills bigtime :O) AN Ostinotto with a Latin feel
..
| Heres a Ostinato thats I combined with a Latin pattern. Thats a ton of fun to mess around with and its great for building Independence and improvasational skills :O)
Heres a very short Funk Groove

Heres a Rush Tune called Far Cry :

About me:


:O)WELCOME - Thanks for checking out my site ! I've been playing drums since I was a child. Along the way I've had the good fortune to have studied with Narada Michael Waldon (Jeff Beck,Mahavishnu Orch.) Gram Lear (Santana) Skip Gillette (Ronnie Montrose, Gamma) just to name a few. Through the years I've played gigs that have ranged from the local clubs to the large halls and have as well taught off and on. In the Videos you will see that I touched on different styles , and grooves to show some of my different musical tastes. The Videos range from very busy Prog rock to Latin to Laid Back funk . With plenty of Odd Meters (13/8 9/8 11/8 7/4) Quads, Chops , Ostinatos/Independence , and hand to foot 32 note runs . The Videos are a very good representation of what Ive been up to as of late. Sorry about the poor sound quality im doing all I can with a sony cam corder :O) Any Questions ?? feel free to reach me via email at samvanhorn@yahoo.com ......................... Heres an old fav of mine its the 9/8 section of suppers ready by Genesis that im over playing in :O) Heres a groove in 13/8



Favorite Musicians: Narada Michael Walden, Manu Katche, Dave Weckl, Neil Peart. Mike Portnoy

Favorite Bands: ALL of the above , as well as Dream Theater, Tool , Rush, Dixie Dregs, Kansas, Van Halen, Nickleback, Dave Matthews, Early Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Jeff Beck,
