John Stanier’s set up was more insightful than I initially gave credit… and I’ve just had some better gigs with the idea behind it…

Sure this is an extreme example but from what I understand there was an intent to make something harder to play so that it was a more deliberate choice and therefore ideally a more musical choice.

Its helped.

You could say probably the same for Kenny Aronoff and his 10” tom placement.

So I do love a splash cymbal. They’ve always been on my kit. The thing is.. they become almost like a tick for me. They lose their value cause I get to hit a thing that doesn’t intrude like a crash so I hit them too much.

And cause of their size you can position them in the most easy to reach place.

Well I wanted to down size hardware and so inverting them and putting them on top of crashes has put them a bit more out of reach. There is far more intent to reach for them an play them.. damn it, it really works….

This of course isn’t as dramatic, but the idea is worth checking out…

You got a thing you know you overplay? Put it a bit more out of reach.

EDIT: Apparently I write like AI. FWIW I wrote this, I didn't use Chatgpt, they are my thoughts. I'm not sure what you can say to counter anyone's belief this is ai. I didn't think I'd get my writing style pulled apart in a drum forum. But here we are. fun times. But its good to know though that highest rated comments can be complete bollocks. Worth remembering when in any other forum.

has anyone tried to put a tambourine on a drum bass mount instead of a cowbell? does it ring when hitting the bass drum or is it fine? cause it’s a very comfortable position, but i’m worried it would ring at every bass drum hit

I’ve been drumming for 6 years and I’m curious what other drummers struggle with. Could be physical stuff like wrist or hand pain, practice space, staying motivated, getting better, gear, anything. What’s the one problem you’ve tried to fix and still haven’t? And what have you tried so far?

nothing here. just a question

As you can see, Im playing the ankle technique and the movement feels much more natural now,but I still cant hit the drum head all the time. Whats the fix?

Edit: The technique looks goofy-twitchy bc I had to bend down to get it in the video. Its not perfect,but much better than seems

Hello, anyone here records/recorded with their Alesis Nitro Mesh kit, preferably on windows? I currently record using focusrite scarlett solo and it's not satisfactory.

Hi guys, i want to buy some cymbals for metal, let’s say a 14” hihat, 17,18” crashes and a 20” ride, i already have a china, what would you suggest, i was thinking maybe mainl classic dark cymbal set?

Hello guys i want to buy my first kit and i need help i have 500 dollars

Is this deal worth it at all?

$650 I don’t know much about dw I know they’re generally expensive but these seem a little rough. I think the badge says they’re all maple and he said small sizes so I’m guessing 18 inch kick.

come a little closer #reels #fyp #drums #drumcover #cagetheelephant

1st commissioned custom snare build for my drum mentor Foz. He dubbed it “Frankensnare“ fitting for the fact that I robbed pieces from my snare graveyard.

It's definitely paint, not wrap. Another photo shows some scrapes in the finish. Also, does look like a 24" kick to you? The toms look like 13, 16.

I'm super curious to hear how loud these hits are and I can't find anything on youtube of it. The Drumeo guy said he could hear a lot of power but he might've just been gassing him up lol

My old Pipe band snare tutor (RIP Billy Stevenson) gave me these drumsticks about 10 years ago.

He wasn't sure how old they were, or even where he originally got them from.

The sticks feel like thornwood but I can't be certain. They vibrate a lot when used on a drum pad. Super steep taper along the whole stick. The base is at least 25mm diameter (I can measure if it helps). I don't really want to try them on a drum (especially a pipe band snare) since I don't want to risk them breaking.

If anyone has any theories I would love to hear them.

Thanks everyone. Keep on drumming!

I've wanted to drum my entire life as a 30yo. Finally two months in and i'm wondering if someone could give me some pointers in advancement.

I'm using stick control + a pad whenever I can to get better with sticking. I'm finding songs I like on Youtube and looking for sheet music/ just trying to play along. For ear I'm trying to play with rap music to work on my own creativity.

Overall I think it's going very well. I'd like to say I sound like I'm drumming which is neat. What advice would you offer and are lessons a huge upgrade? My plan is to get lessons after a year of self teachings.

Working for guitarist Andrew Lilley today!

this is from trooper iron maiden, I’m relatively new and I have no idea what this means

This is why you practice orchestration lol!
