I still swear by this. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/drum-practice-pads/remo-practice-pad/442966 put it on a table, chair, couch, toilet lid, car seat, etc. Hell, back in the the day I used to use to mount and attach triggers to them.

AARO posted:Listening to the new radiohead album I realized that even their worst songs ever are better than the best songs I've released and that bummed me out a bit. I'm probably never going to "make it" in music. Here's a link to my most recent song. The first song I've recorded since AMSP. Somebody in GBS said "Nice Radiohead cover OP." As if they are the only band on earth who is allowed to make that style of music. Think of all the bands that exist that influence eachother and sound like eachother. Especially older stuff like 60s music there used to be tons of bands that sounded almost identical on certain tracks. AARO posted:You praise the status quo at every opportunity. Any original thought is called fake posting. It's weak minded reactionary bullshit to psychopaths on the Internet. Because My Little Pony and vor freaks exist on the internet anything original said is to be ridiculed and taunted. You found a little box to put your brain in. Reactionary book-burning anti-intellectualism. Totally boring we all agree with each other parrots. heh

Built this and used it this past weekend. Worked great. Cost about $200 in material and only took a couple of evenings to build. There's a black skirt that goes around the bottom to hide the buckets.

Is that for isolation or a stage riser?

Stage riser. It's 7'x6.5' and sits 15" high.

Cool, I built something similar but instead of buckets there are a few dozen halved tennisballs. Stops any stomping noise going through my wooden floors into adjoining rooms. edit: image isn't embedding on my end for whatever reason, pic is here https://imgur.com/a/M9Ufv Gym Leader Barack fucked around with this message at 11:19 on Aug 14, 2016 |

You guys got any good recommendations on drummers to check out on youtube? So far I've been watching a lot of tech death dudes playing but would love literally any well made recommendation to crib fill ideas and neat drum tricks from.

One of my all-time favorite drum covers came from mikeglozier. His cover of Andromeda & the Milky Way is also pretty incredible. Actually, go ahead and watch every video on the channel. He's only uploaded five videos in total, and they are all fantastic.

I was just at Drummerfest in New Berlin, WI. Shannon Forrest, Jimmy Chamberlin, Gorden Campbell, and Matt Garstka. It was amazing and I'll have audio of each of their masterclasses/performances in a few days.

Not only are Pink Floyd drums criminally underrated, but this is one of the most technically impressive covers I've ever seen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmTZHJ1cMPE Oh noooooooo it looks like he got copyright smacked and had to pull the version that had the full song playing underneath. I was able to get pretty close with this Youtube Doubler, you can fine tune it to get it a bit better. There's some really creative fills in this song, and a bloody ton of them, at least listen to the first 5 minutes for a lot of simple yet varied fill ideas  edit: Tatumje posted:One of my all-time favorite drum covers came from mikeglozier.

Also gently caress people who can consistently hit rim shots  I'm trying to use them for accents in a Halloween drum cover I'm working on and I've pretty much decided that I'm just going to have to sample myself and lay the sound of a decent hit in over my own audio cuz I ain't hittin' those things live

Speaking of, happy Halloween Drum Thread  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-wRS7Zc5_k I kind of pussied out for the solo, those should really be 8th notes on the tambourine but I wasn't confident I'd be able to learn that and still have things ready to post by today. Maybe I'll do a more accurate 2.0 for next year. p.s. Don't try and read my shirt at the end

So I punched through the approximately 30 year old head on my bass drum with my pedal's beater. Anyone have personal favorite brands or styles for bass drum heads they can recommend? I'll need to measure it to be sure but I'm pretty sure I've got a 22" bass, if that matters.

I'm lazy and just use a Evans EMAD2 most cases, the dampening is p good on that.

Yeah AFAIK your bass drum heads are less important that what's on your snare/toms because you don't usually tune it to an actual note. You don't need as much precision/quality to produce a decent low frequency THUMP.

I usually use the regular EMAD - the EMAD 2 is a little too thick and clunky for my tastes but that's totally just personal preference.

I've been trying to transcribe the bass drum rhythms of some old 70's stuff like Black Sabbath and the Ramones and I've come to the conclusion that every rock drummer alive in that era was coked out of their mind 24/7/365.

Now go try and do some 'Oldies' music from the '60s and realize even nondescript guys like the drummers for the Zombies or the Monkees were loving monsters by modern standards. Can we lay off the one-handed 16th notes guys? No?

Actually, on sixteenth notes, I feel I have pretty good technique but this guy makes me feel like a beginner...what's he doing that he can play constant sixteenths for that long? I feel I'm almost there, but there's some minutiae I'm missing. First song, "Come Down" https://youtu.be/ferZnZ0_rSM

Duke Chin posted:Yes.... those Well, nondescript as in most people wouldn't be able to name them unless you'd specifically studied that band/drummer. Like I couldn't tell you who the drummer for Blondie was until I tried to learn Call Me and discovered that he's an evil man who hates beginner/intermediate drummers with the burning passion of one thousand suns. 8th notes in 6/8 with a bunch of poly-rhythmic hihat accents and swung sextuplets, for 8 minutes  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m95Iv8UfvhM What's that you say?

Most of what I play doesn't really call for it but I would love to play Hot for Teacher. My left foot just can't keep up.

Ahhh, really? My bad my dumb brain/feet always found that to be the easier part of that song. Me and my old guitar player used to do the intro of that song sometimes when the other ½ of the band was tuning. We had no idea we both knew it until one of us started dicking around during sound check one night. That beat just feels like a goofy, galloping horse to me.

Does anyone have any experience using direct drive pedals that aren't Axis? I'm using Mapex Raptors and they suck hard. I'm used to the feel of direct drives now but I really don't want to shell out $600+ for Axis.
