As luck would have it one day, instead of having a normal rehearsal my band was going to work on our new music video.  I had grabbed my video camera to use as a backup or secondary camera and while driving the thought came to me.  I wanted to give my readers an inside look on how my band, an indie band with some technological knowledge, creates music videos.

Now, this video isn’t going to go into specifics of exactly how to edit and shoot videos against a green screen.  However, it does give an overview of what we do and a peek at what the shoot actually looks like.  The two songs featured in my video are “Still Me” A song that will be on our new CD Blaming Tim Vs. The Mechanical Robots From Outer Space.  The second song more prominently featured is “Made For TV Movie” which will also be on the new CD.  So if you dig the music, visit blamingtim.com for more information on the band.

Without further ado I present to you A Behind The Scenes Look At Making An Indie Music Video:

These interviews will benefit you – you will be featured on The Drum Buzz, helping to “get you name out there”.

Drum/Cymbal/Equipment companies – I need product to review.  I can only go through my own stuff for so long and I don’t have the budget to go out and buy a bunch of new equipment just to review it.

If you send me equipment to be reviewed – it will be reviewed and featured on the website.

If you want the equipment back, that’s fine too… I understand (especially for smaller boutique) manufacturers might not be able to just hand out free stuff to some guy with a website.

Product reviews are a great way to help sell your products and a video review on a website that is targeted towards drummers means you are hitting your audience dead on!

All reviews will be unbiased.  I will look for pros and cons of all equipment that is reviewed on this site and I won’t write a review of something I haven’t had a chance to use myself.

So – in conclusion… if you are a drummer or work on the manufacture side of things, contact me and we’ll talk about what The Drum Buzz can do for you!

Anyway, I was lurking around the meinl website today and came across this video.  It’s one of the funniest and most creative snare drum duets I’ve seen.  The video features Johnny Rabb and Benny Greb… check it out and I hope you enjoy.
