Description: How are ya YouTube! It's been a while since I've posted on here so I wanted to talk about what I've been up to, why I started posting on YouTube to begin with, the opportunities it has given me, the reason(s) why I took some time away AND what I'd like to do looking ahead! I also took this opportunity to include a Q&A from my posts on Instagram and Facebook last month: instagram.com/p/ButMAX3FWEq/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link facebook.com/troywrightdrums Thank you so much for your patience. I'm looking forward to sharing some new videos in the coming weeks!! *The Q&A part of the video starts at 4:37 ___________________________________________________________ QUESTIONS: What is your reasoning for choosing Pearl as the kit you play? Which stack is that? What sticks do you use mate? What’s your favourite snare drum? Do you think you'll ever get a new kit? I've noticed that most people who buy a reference kit use that same kit for decades after. Has anything else from pearl caught your eye? Wood-fiberglass, the new studio gum shells, anything? How did you meet Plini? Are you still with Plini? What was it like touring with Plini and intervals? Playing two sets back to back must have been crazy! I saw you play with them when you were here in Winnipeg and I was so blown away!! How did you get in contact with The Amity Affliction? Did you enjoy the tour? Are you going to record a medley of the latest Meshuggah album as you used to do? Are you going to cover some of the new periphery? When did you start music as full time career and what were some previous jobs you had before that? Who initially inspired you to drum and who keeps your inspired? When’s the occupants collab vid out? What was the hardest piece to play that you've recorded and what piece would you say is your favorite? Are you able to release drum transcriptions for handmade cities? When is your next overseas tour? Do you have any tips for memorizing complicated charts quickly ? What is your process for transcribing the material you play? Through your years of touring and playing, what were your top 3 most enjoyable experiences that playing music has brought you? What would you say to young drummers in the business? ___________________________________________________________ Videos that appear in this video in order: Animals As Leaders - Tempting Time - Drum Cover: youtu.be/yigSAYrwluA Skrillex - Dirty Vibe - Drum Cover: youtu.be/GUylZIGKV9g Plini - "CASCADE" in North America youtu.be/RiX7ZFe3kXs PLINI - Live "CYNIC Japan tour 2015": youtu.be/IY63_QR6toA Live with The Amity Affliction - Wiesbaden, Germany 2017: youtu.be/eHVjpFTHxTs David Maxim Micic - Damar - Drum Cover: Coming soon ;) Intervals - Libra [Troy Wright] Drum Cam - Live: youtu.be/MlyPhRQpHlA Live with The Amity Affliction - Pittsburgh, America 2017: youtu.be/4Cc9jEXs5aM Live with The Amity Affliction - London, England 2017: youtu.be/Ecf9hCKPCj0 Meshuggah - ObZen Album Medley Drum Cover: youtu.be/iZLuFr2_L-s The Occupants - Hindsight Drum Compilation Video: "It's going to be really soon!" :) ;) Animals as Leaders - Wave of Babies Drum Cover: youtu.be/Wku_MT87H7E Audio that appears in this video in order: Plini - Handmade Cities Plini - Electric Sunrise itunes.apple.com/au/album/handmade-cities/1143950631 ___________________________________________________________ facebook.com/troywrightdrums instagram.com/troywrightdrums twitter.com/troywrightdrums wrightdrums.com GEAR: I proudly endorse and exclusively use Pearl Drums, Sabian Cymbals, Remo Skins, Vic Firth Sticks, Shure Microphones and Hardcase Cases.
