Edward Day plays a KD 24"x14" Bass drum !

[charlessavarese]

What difference do you find in the short bass drum, as opposed to the standard 16" or 18" depths that most kick drums are today?

[smilyfacerockz]

KD drums are made in my town along with echo drums ;) i feel privaliged

[MadocNco]

Hey that bass drum sounds great! where did you order it from? the KD website??? I think i shall add this to my kit if i can get my hands on it

[idektron]

@MadocNco thanks, it came from ebay indirectly from KD..

[kevindinneen89]

-kev

[idektron]

@kevindinneen89 yeah i got to stick it to the morons. i'll take you up on DC one day. thanks.

[jonovaz]

Awesome drumming. You have a band or something? I'd like to hear you performing.

[idektron]

@jonovaz Thank yep have a browse around my channel..

[Mohammed8778]

dont like the sound of your kit

[idektron]

@Mohammed8778 Don't like you..

[jdrummys]

Does this bass drum have a port on it? If so, what size?

[idektron]

@jdrummys yep 6".

[christianconefery]

you need to fix those overtones

by some moon gel pads or a plastic ring to muffle them and they will sound alot better

[Grenville84]

Amazing grooves and control, one day I want to play like that!

PS. What cymbals are you using there?

[doodlenip]

Thank you for these videos. Believe it or not, you have become one of my biggest influences in drumming.

[Who2Are1You]

whew... that's what i call stick control. anybody can make a ruckus. it's WAAAAAY more challenging to hold back, leave space, and master volume control. very tasteful. PS. what do you think would be the cheapest way to get me a 24"? buy a shitty one on ebay and restore it?? it's hard (and expensive) to get ahold of a good one.

[idektron]

@Who2Are1You thanks for the kind words, my thoughts exactly. I got this one fairly cheap and it sounds great, just try to find and older but good quality wood vintage drum is the cheapest way. a nice thin shelled maple drum can be got for £150 if you search ebay hard enough and are not too fussed about cosmetic condition..

[Who2Are1You]

@idektron i don't mind as long as the edges are fine. i'm actually refinishing mine right now. it's fun, but i miss playing my set. i'll probably look around for the cheapest, biggest i can find. i saw a set with a 32"... i didn't get to hear it, though.

[Drratburn]

Tama makes an amazing sounding 18x24 bass drum for cheap.. Tama Superstar Bass Drum. Got mine for just 450 online, brand new. Trying to replicate Abe Cunningham's set hah.

[diddlemehard]

oh.

[sabianforlife]

you remind me of danny goffey the way you play:)

[TheMusictechguru]

nice kick dude.. fellow KD player

[idektron]

@TheMusictechguru thanks, yeah she's a beast.

[RANCIDpunx888]

good shit!

[idektron]

party !

[LHondrums]

no matter that u suck at drums if u don't appreciate steve gadd. idiot.

[idektron]

dream theatre fan says it all. if you appreciate them your a total idiot !

[dbmullet]

yeah man.

cutting edge, fer sure... like totally.

you should sell your drums and invest in a metronome and lessons.

[idektron]

steve gadd sucks balls !

[zerussomaniac]

@dbmullet you can clearly tell that this guy has excellent stick control he just happens to be playing tastefully instead of flashily

[Sousleek]

nice feeling and grooves, Ed. ;)

[InternalPulse7]

I will say I love the inner beats... good touch... however... SHOW ME THE HEAVY TOO! You just need more crash and a more high hat (not a 13" i am guessing by the sound) ... included with some hard hits to show your 24" isn't for compensation and you got it. throw a big crash over the ride for some variation and lay into it without crooking our wrists to give solid and confident vibe and I love it.

[federneo]

i hear what you are saying, is nice to play heavy but this is the way i naturally play (especially on a sunday afternoon when i recorded this), i wouldn't say it isn't confident just i like to beat around the bush somewhat... a la mitch mitchell

[quackbeef]

are you playing the ocean at the beginning?

[idektron]

mayb subconsciously, i do love bonham and might be coming out in mysterious ways !

[tobyiswierd]

i love ur style and ur drums are to die for!!!!!!

[uhoh38125]

i like the intensity you hold at 2:40  are those straight 32's...pradiddles or what? Steve jordan does type thing that a lot to pad guitar solos...look up "john mayer trio chicken grease / jam / sissy strut" video...thats how its written ...hes holds something like that for a long while

[idektron]

yeah interesting i don't actually really know, am doing a lot of doubles with my left. but am totally self taught and just learnt from listening to stuff and am a bit anti 'you must learn this' so always find it interesting when my stuff sounds like something else..

[uhoh38125]

well man, i put a very rough video up....u ever get your flat base stands?

[idektron]

yeah cool, like the black and white aged vibe ! yeah had em for a while now use them on my 'gigging' kit, you can just about make them out on my Phenomenal Cat ! band videos on my homepage..

[uhoh38125]

Hey fella...How ya been? Man what u think about 24" Kick? Lot more powerful? Just deeper?  I am bidding on a renown maple kit with a 24" kick, 13,16,18 toms and 14 snare...big fat sound i hope..any thoughts?

[idektron]

hi, yeah going well. i love a 24" bass drum so much more tone and fatness and lots more power and control in a band situation ! defo has deeper fuller tone but i prefer a shallower depth as not really a fan of the cannon like tone of a deeper drum spesh of this larger diameter. never played a modern gretsch but love the older stuff..

[FinlayO]

are those meinl byzance hats?

[idektron]

hi, no their funny 80's hi hats with not much in the way in markings apart from meinl custom shop hi hats on them.

[FinlayO]

sweet...

where did you get them from?

[idektron]

i got em from ebay..

[woiolol]

another bass drum...hope your using protection

[idektron]

yeah i've been getting around recently.. i prefer au naturel.

[crozzara]

great sound!!!

[scottbennettdrumming]

lol thanks funny man! well, it was first on my sub list, and i saw 24x24 kick so i had to watch it!

[scottbennettdrumming]

that things a beast!

[idektron]
