So I was getting, more or less, exactly what you described but on my left hand on the inside of the second knuckle of my middle finger. From the best I could tell it was from big snare down beats, german grip, over 15-19 years or so. I play with the snare fairly high and a lot of rim. If I hold the two fingers up, tip to tip (like I'm double flipping someone off) you can see that the knuckle is still kind of swollen or calcium built up or something. I honestly don't know how or why it happened but it definitely started getting sore "on the inside" but not unmanageable.  Fortunately I've since retired from that whole be-in-a-band thing and the pain went away instantly. The knuckle is still larger? different? But the pain is gone. Of course, related to that, I also don't play drums quite as much anymore so obviously that's why the ache and tenderness has subsided. So, hmm, I guess that really doesn't help you at all and is mere anecdotal commiseration?  Looking at your set up it really shouldn't be causing you too much of an issue. I mean, that's pretty much how I usually park my ride and I usually use big clanky bell-centric rides (22" A Custom for YEARS, 22" Meinl Soundcaster Fusion the last year and that was it WAY thicker) and never, ever had a problem with my right side joints.Maybe I missed it but, what ride exactly is it that's been the culprit? I mean, that really shouldn't even matter. Hell the old zildjian chunk'o'metal Earth Ride or 24" Alpha Rock Ride shouldn't matter as long as you're not death-gripping your sticks. That is the only thing, mechanically, that I could think would be the culprit at this point; your hand eating up too much of the vibration of stick-on-tin. Weird. Quick question: what brand of stick are you primarily using?

Weird, I've used a 20K and 22K for years (as crashes mostly, laff) and never ever had a problem. Those have always actually felt kinda "soft". Been using 5Bn's since I think the first show I ever played - but, same: using the ProMark Hickory's and they definitely feel clunky. All I can say is start at the root: your grip. Then your set up. Then try a different brand of stick. But if you're not comfortable on the kit - dude, seriously, fix that first, foremost and fast. Ergonomics got a long way.

Handen posted:Can anyone tell me who makes the tom and beneath-ride mic clamps shown in this picture that are mounted to the drum stand hardware, and where I might purchase such items? Ha I haven't seen those types of mic clamps in yeaaaaaaaaaaaaars. Those are old as poo poo, can't remember the name off of the top of my head (going googling in a sec) and there are bunches of other just-as-good options around as well. But it's seriously annoying me that I can't remember what these are since I've used them a ton of times over the years - I just haven't seen them much in the last 5 or so years of touring.

Sheesh, I wish I ever had a regimented practice routine. Ever since retiring from the whole be-in-a-band thing late last year it's pretty much:
That and record songs for buddies at home is about it these days. I still like playing, for sure, I've just never, in all my years, had dedicated studying and practice schedules (outside of band practices). I probably should have though.

Bonzo posted:So I've been playing for nearly 30 years. In the last 5 or 6 years I took a break from playing because I was burned out with the band I was in and wanted to learn some new instruments. So I have the old TD-20 kit from when I was apartment living and two acoustic kits at home and while I will always, always prefer to play the acoustic kit, the roland set was nice to have around when I had to be quiet. Just note that they are TERRIBLY overpriced (rolaaaaaaand  ). That being said, I also can't stand the kits that have the solid rubber pads as "drums". Mesh drums all the way. Did you have any specific questions about 'em?

Grump posted:Is there any shot of my $700 Pearl Forum Series set sounding good in a uncarpeted basement? Change your heads, carpet the room; buy a new drumset? Seriously though, if you're playing in a concrete box see what you can do to have... less of that. All that stuff nukes the low end and bounces frequencies around everywhere. In your standard "band" set up, nothing is effected more by the room you're playing in than the drums. But, yeah, those Forums are gonna be tone-happy anyway. Rehead and gel/tape up.Bonzo posted:I'm also curious about how cymbals are handled. The hi hat would take some getting used to but there doesn't seem to be any option to get the effect of playing the bell or base of a ride cymbal. The ride cymbals (CY-15R's) on the upper end rolands have three zones: Edge body and bell - that's why there is two cables running to it. Crashes have two zones, Edge and bow. Hi hats have three and sensitivity for how hard you're compressing them - also w/ two separate cables running to it. I can't speak for the low end models though cause I haven't played any of those in forever.

timp posted:I agree, that counts for more than you'd think! I like identifying which of my friends have rhythm and would actually take well to percussion by the quality of their finger drumming, improv song writing abilities, foot tapping, whatever. After nearly a decade of teaching young people, including non-musicians, to play percussion, distinguishing between those with a natural sense of rhythm and those without can be crucial when trying to place someone in an ensemble. Yeah lately I've taken to giving my girlfriend drumming lessons as A: for me to learn how to teach people from the ground floor and B: she's actually interested and is picking up things surprisingly fast. There's a slight bit of a height difference between us (literally a foot shorter) so that's made things slightly interesting for her. timp posted:What kind of experience or impression does everyone here have on drumlines? Zero. I've just woodshedded with drumline buddies in the past and traded ideas and rudiments and whatnot. He was a fantastic snare player, and I was always the better kit player, but we always managed to trade ideas and fun beats around. Kodo posted:You also see players develop a particular technique on marching snare that is often carried over to drum set. More of a personal preference thing but it can affect your sound if you approach drum set with that mindset. Yeah I've noticed that, with all of the drumline folk I've ever sat down at a kit, they're insanely rigid and stiff when it comes to "dude just relax and groove" time. Oh they sure as poo poo have the technique down but everything always felt so stiff.

Yeah mixing brands is no big deal since all the big manufactures have equivalent lines, really. And if you've been using the same heads since you bought the kit, yeah, it's probably time to swap em out. It's no hard-and-fast rule with me, but usually I swap out my resonants every 3rd time I do a bulk batter changing. Unless, of course, there's damage, gouges (from show set up and break down, moving etc) or dishing out. This applies to toms and kick drum, for the most part. Snares, however, I'll rock a head on those things for as long as it wants to stay sounding good. I've run across old 5.5x14 acrolite snares (seriously why are these things so in vogue right now?) that has the oldest, scungiest heads on it but sound so good that I couldn't even fathom swapping them out. My one and only hard and fast rule: If you buy a new kit - burn the stock heads. Swap those turds off immediately.

I Might Be Adam posted:You'd think drum manufacturers would team up with a head manufacturer and do a partnership but then that would probably screw up endorsement deals and some other dumb poo poo. Why hasn't Ludwig/DW/Tama invested money into a drum head line that is worth a poo poo? Then those people that have matching drum and hardware manufacturers could complete the holy trinity. To part A: It all comes down to  - those stock heads are just one-ply bullshit stamp-outs with their logo badly silkscreened on them primarily just to have something to hold the rims and rods in place and protect the bearing edges during shipping.As to part B about drum/hardware brands my answer is simple: Gear Queens always be Gear Queening. And part C...? Brand loyalty is bullshit. Get whatever sounds good to you and more importantly: to the music you're playing. Now mixing lines inside those brands is a different thing. If you have a $300 Meinl ride mixed in with B8 crashes or a ZBT hi-hat...  I Might Be Adam posted:Ok, fair enough but it always seemed weird when people would play in bands and have to borrow gear because they refused to fix/replace their broken stuff. I had a friend borrow a backup snare for a show and it turned into a year or something... because he broke the head on his snare. I've lost track of how many times I'll be out on tour and a local band (emphasis on the LOCAL to the city we're traveling to) wants to use my kit because something something excuses excuses lazy/cheap/drunko/shithead drummer dude couldn't be pissed to bring his trash CB set down to the venue.

My old Galaxy S2 had a drift / recorded just slightly off to where things would get out of place over time. Cell phones a lovely camcorder make. For multi angles now I use my go pro as primary, S5 as one angle and the old, drifty S2 as another cut away angle. When poo poo starts getting off on the S2 I just cut back to primary or S5 and resynch the S2 on the timeline in the background.

Your tablet might be playing whatever you're playing along to too fast/slow. Can you just run a long rear end headphone cord to wherever you're recording your drums to and play the song from there? Keeping your audio sources in the same place would hopefully eliminate one variable... Basically: put that song on the second track like you've been doing and just not arming record on that track and play along to that while you record your drums on the other track.

thunderspanks posted:It's possible that audacity is converting to 44.1 from 48k on import. So if you created a session in 44.1k to record the drums, and then imported a 48k music file, a sample rate conversion may be taking place to conform it and thus you would see 44.1 when checking the file info in the session. I'm not familiar with audacity specifically and how it handles sample rate mismatches but this would be the case in pro tools and I assume there is similar functionality. Reaper does this exact same thing and will show a little "RESAMPLED FROM [XX.X]k" in the corner of each object of every track effected by the project rate conversion. I get it all the time as a buddy I record drums for frequently lives in 44.1 while I'm usually up higher.

I'm halfway tempted to build one of these with all the odds and ends I've got lying around and grab a couple cheap toms off of craigslist. The one thing I'd want to try is to cut a 14-16" tom in ½ and do sorta like you did with mounting it into the suitcase - except port it through and put the other ½ of the chopped tom on the front with a ported hole - thereby making the whole suitcase a resonating thing. And just make removable covers for inside the suitcase like you did to protect the back side of the kick drum head. Oh and btw - you are now 100% required to post some video or audio of this thing in use! Takes No Damage posted:Now to head over to the home recording thread and see what's the best mic I can get for $60.

e: ^^^ hah yeah, pretty much. roto toms, octobans, splash cymbals, stacks - flanger, reverb, phaser, overdrive. Different sounds for different pleasures. --- I have 3 kits (two acoustic, one v-drum that never leaves home) and I don't even want to know how many random cymbals from over the years, and inside of those two acoustic kits one is just a 3 piece and the other is a 7 piece that frequently gets used as a 4 piece (one rack, two floor) and as little as a hi-hat, crash and ride to more-than-I'd-like-to-haul around. It literally, literally just depends on what type of music/gig it is I'm playing. Use a billion pieces, use one - just make sure it fits the tune(s).
