Alright Roc! Great stuff! Nearly 5 minutes of some poppin', groovin' baggin'! What kind of bag is that? Man, you are so close to being in time with the song.
It is not a matter of speed. Sometimes you are faster than the song, and sometimes slower. If you could make the rebounds sound double the speed of the hihat, you'd be right in time.
(The hihat sound is the high pitched "chippy" sound which is double the speed of the bass drum and snare that propel the beat of the song.) If your bag sound double the speed of the hihat, and stays there, you are punching 16th notes. Try a fast fist roll while punching at that speed to hear how it sounds and then break off into other punches yet keep the rebound rate exactly the same.
BAG ON!

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments.
Being the 1st time, it wasn't exactly easy punching in a dinner jacket, which I must remember next time I go to a board meeting.
I have been trying to make something out of this song for a little while, but wondered what sort of response I'd get.
The artist is a name I've grown up with, whilst never being a major fan I've always had an admiration and the song always has been and always will be a classic. So what better time to punch this song up.
I do know the hihat. I stuffed the timing up from the outset on the intro and openned up on my featured lik 1 beat to early and was unable to recover. Maybe next time.

Spinsmashpop is right, sometimes you're a bit fast, sometimes a bit slow. some combo's really fit the beat really well. This is the pure fun of the speed bag, just grooving to music. You may be on or off beat a little but so what? You're feeling the beat and having fun being creative, trying to manipulate bag and beat in time. It's a lot of fun and you do a great job, Roc.
Considering MJ, I love his music and talent, and a lot of his music is great for punching drumming. I have punched many times to all those that are danceable. Some tunes are really great punchdrumming themes, such as "Don't stop 'til you get enough" and the most legendary for speed baggin' - "Beat it". (one of my personal punching favorites...)
Thriller: 8:29 - 9:33. Then on to 13:33 (Ghoul dance. Great base beat and theme to punch on with. The clapping on 2 & 4 and foot steps of the dancers also help mix with the bag)
Black & white A great syncopated beat for punching and one of my favorite music videos.
there's a lot of other great songs to punch and dance with. Like many of the Rich and famous, he leaves a tarnished legacy, but his music and talent were par excellance, and should stand the test of time.

You're looking well.
Is that a fresh buzz cut?
my hair is tuff to cut. Six cow licks and the sides grow straight out. My old stylist said I had "japanese hair" because it grows straight out and doesn't taper. I may have to start hitting in a hat....

Great job AK and Roc! AK, another awesomely inspiring display of punch drumming!!!! I think I may have a go at Billie Jean. Although I wasn't a huge fan, I did dig a bunch of his tunes and you can't deny him as a performer and singer. So with 2 punch clips up of Billie Jean, we should start a "Billie Jean punch drum thread"....
Why not, it would be cool to see a bunch of us and our different techniques punching to Billie Jean!
Cmon!
