high five

High Five everybody whaddup everybody!

first off, a friggin HUUUUGE thanks to each and every one of you for the crazy amount of support for the MJ Tribute series! that said; the support is (a very very welcome..) second to a lot of you getting the point of the series and joining me in paying respects to one of the greatest musicians ever. concerning the videos themselves, here are some stats for you who are interested: within three days of release, these are the total views per video:

Black or White = 13,829
Billie Jean = 14,808
Smooth Criminal = 17,166
Beat It = 21,241

which means that's just under 70,000 views for the MJ tribute series, in just three days; 7th most viewed musician in the world.. hahaha WAY crazy! also some cool stats about Beat It (most viewed in this series) on the first day of release:

77th Most Discussed (worldwide)
62nd Most Favorited (worldwide)
51st Top Rated (worldwide)
9th Most Discussed (Music, worldwide)
52nd Most Viewed (Music, worldwide)
2nd Top Rated (Music, worldwide)

needless to say, those stats blow me AWAY. being 2nd top rated musician in the WORLD on the day of release is something I can't fit into my head.. haha. SUCH a huge honour, thank you guys so so much. RIP MJ.

I also have some HUGE news :) the new website design is very almost done, looking amazing (I honestly keep going back to check it out, still impossible to get used to seeing my name on something that awesome.) and it makes me sooooo excited to announce that the new CP website will be launched along with the White Series :) and when I say soon, I mean SOON..

it's crazy to think; the fact that so many of you like my videos means I keep getting to make them :) so when I say thank you for the support, I mean it much more than you think. I think every drummer who knows the feeling of jamming alone in your room (and enjoying it so much you just have to stop to laugh out loud).. can imagine the feeling of being supported enough to be able to keep going. it's huge.

hope all of you have an unnaturally awesome week ahead! i, for one, am going to high-five a stranger this week. random kindness FTW.

much love. LDS,

white gloves ftw

hey! :)

hope everybody had an awesome week! we have the mid-year holiday in SA at the moment, so that's way cool, having a ton of fun chilling with my friends and getting some practice time in behind the kit :)

Before i get too happy and excited again, the big news the past week has obviously been that of Michael Jackson's untimely death. all tasteless jokes and lack of tact aside, the death of ANY human being should be met with respect; i think. it really got me upset to hear the jokes people were making only moments after the news struck. i take myself to have a healthy sense of humour, but i can't help but feel sick to my stomach at jokes being made about somebody who just lost his life.

MJ might have done some questionable stuff in his life (don't we all?) and remembering him and judging him because of the wrong stuff he did is a fate i dont wish upon ANY person.

that said, as a musician it is irrefutable what a permanent impact he made on the world-wide music industry; no sane person can disagree with that. in the light of this impact, one which directly and indirectly influenced me to a huge extent aswell (show me a drummer who doesnt enjoy playing along to some "Black or White"..) i have decided to record a Michael Jackson Tribute Series. this new series, although being recorded after the White Series (which is also still on the way) will be released on Thursday. i had an unbelievable amount of fun recording the four songs i chose, and i look very much forward to releasing the new series and paying my respects to an awesome musician. the new website is also still underway and looking aaaawesome as heck, can NOT wait to hear what you think! anyways, i hope you guys are doing well, thanks for reading! much love.
