I'm COOP3RDRUMM3R & I want to take drumming to a whole new level by creating original music & remixes from behind a drum set.
CHECK THIS SECTION OUT!
Coop3rDrumm3r here. If you're just meeting me, I'm a drummer that loves posting drum videos online. I try to show the world how much fun it is to play the drums and to make music in each video I create. I spend every minute of my spare time and every spare penny I've got creating videos (over 300 so far!) to entertain others and inspire them with the talents I've been blessed with and the passion and love that I have for drumming and music. 2012 was an amazing year and I can't begin to express how grateful I am to everyone who has supported me and my YouTube channel. And in 2013, I want to create even more entertaining, innovative, and inspiring videos for you and other people around the world by putting together a brand new Youtube Series that combines drumming, original music, remixes, and even some video games! I want to create full songs, remixes and many other types of musical entertainment from a very drum driven perspective and do much of this music creation and composition in a live environment behind a drum kit! These videos will be hosted on YouTube and viewed by millions of people from all over the world and the best part is, every single video in this series will be completely free to watch. The ability to log on to YouTube and be inspired, entertained and even learn for free is an incredible opportunity and I'm honored to be able to contribute!
I've had this idea for a while but unfortunately I haven't had the equipment and resources that I need to fully implement it. Still, I've been able to provide you previews of some of the crazy new ideas in my head, like my
Drums Vs. Guns Solo - http://youtu.be/sp0MzdLoR9k
Gangster's Gagnum Style Remix - http://youtu.be/_aZfkIxMpGs
Pop Danthology Drum Cover - http://youtu.be/loyTvOb6Gbo
& Many of my Electronic Dance Music & Dubstep drum covers like this one: Imma Try It Out - Skrillex - http://youtu.be/4YdY1cZume4
In order to fully implement these ideas I have cooking in my head, I'll need your support to help make these crazy ideas a reality!
GOAL #1: $10,000
I am shooting for a financial goal of $10,000 which will cover the cost of creating my NEW YouTube video series. Your pledges will be used to fund the cost of production for the original music for this series and also cover the cost of the new drum equipment that will be necessary to be able to create these new videos and perform this music. A Pearl E-Pro Live Hybrid Electric/Acoustic drum kit, with Zildjian Gen-16 Hybrid Electric/Acoustic cymbals combined with drum pad samplers will give me the range of sounds, drums and musical flexibility that will enable me to create some really cool EDM style original music and remixes, as well as many other forms and genres of music.
GOAL #2: $15,000
My first stretch goal of I'm aiming for is $15,000, so I will be able to create LIVE-STREAMED concerts, performances, lessons and many other types of videos. I'll be able to perform, teach, and inspire drummers and musicians from all around the world live from my house. Everyone who pledges $25 or more will receive an invite to my VERY FIRST Live-Streamed (Kickstarter ONLY) concert!
GOAL #3: Everything over $15,000:
All funding over $15,000 that isn't used to pay for special backer-only rewards, will be put towards expanding the music and video production capabilities of my studio and towards creation of new music and even BETTER videos! Trust me, drumming, creating videos & creating music is very expensive so rest assured, not a single dime will be wasted and the more that is raised, the more amazing things that can be created! If enough is raised, funds could also enable me to play LIVE SHOWS & possibly even TOUR, because yes, I would love to hit the road and play for you guys live and in person!
GOAL 4: $25,000
If a financial goal of $25,000 is reached, everyone who pledges $50 or more will receive one of the FIRST EVER COOP3RDRUMM3R T-SHIRTS! These shirts will be printed specifically for this Kickstarter & will only be received by those who backed my project with $50 or more. I'll even sign it if you want!
REWARDS:
And as a thank you to everyone that supports this project and my new YouTube series, I have put together a number of cool rewards. They include everything from signed drum sticks to signed cymbals, t-shirts to drum dedications, live google hangouts to live, in-person performances. All of these are my way of saying thank you for helping me make this new YouTube series a reality. A few of them are even ONE OF A KIND rewards and this will be your one chance to get ahold of them!
NEW TO KICKSTARTER?
If you've never backed a Kickstarter project before, here is a little information. Kickstarter projects are All or Nothing. If the project doesn't reach the goal of 10,000, the project doesn't happen (Which will be sad :( ), and you credit card is not charged a dime. But if we reach the $10,000 goal, or go over it, the project is funded and every penny goes towards creating awesome new videos for millions of people around the world to enjoy, learn from and be inspired by, all for free! I just need your help so I can create these videos!
This has been an awesome ride so far and with your help it will only get better from here. I can't thank you enough for taking this journey with me so far and I look forward to what we can achieve next…together.
Sincerely Yours,
Casey "Coop3rDrumm3r" Cooper

Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
Most music projects experience problems based on collaborations with others, but since this project will be mostly me and my solo drumming and song writing in the beginning (collaborations with others will come later down the road), there are fewer issues that could arise immediately. The biggest challenge for me will be just be getting all of the rewards sent out. I'm literally a one man show when it comes to creating my videos, so I spend just all of my free time on my videos. But although it will be a challenge, I'm very confident that I will make it happen. I've set all of the estimated delivery times to give me plenty of time to get it done, so there's a big chance your rewards will arrive earlier than expected!
