hey i got a question for drummers....i alwasy find that sitting a bit lower in the whole set is easier to step the bass pedal...about like, the snare drum parallel to my thighs. and then i want to set the toms a lot closer in height to the snare, but then they can't go any lower cuz they are on the bass drums. and raising the chair and the snare makes stepping on the bass drum awkward. is that somthin i am supposed to get used to? or is there another way? thanks!
Do you offset your rack toms? If so, try spreading your kit out a little more than it is so you can lower the toms without have tom-to-bass contact.. if you don't offset them, try increasing their angle
If you play heel-up, I'd suggest sitting a bit lower than your snare. If you play heel down, try sitting higher than your snare... Either way, make sure you don't feel cramped.
Try this too I came up with this and it helps SO MUCH: Put on a BLINDFOLD and play your kit. Get a friend to watch you play and make a point of where you hit the drums. Then, adjust the drums so you hit the centre of them all. It's where your brain thinks the drums are, so you'll have better playing.
It might sound a bit strange at first, your kit might be set up in a weird sort of way that you wouldn't have used before. But if you try playing now, it's where your brain expects them to be so you'll get more control out of your playing... Let me know how it goes if you decide to do it. Cheers.
you should buy a smaller kick...kiding...u have to get used to that. I mean u have to try to sit just a little higher or push your kick a few cm just until giving a little rotation to your toms they do not touch each other. A good idea too is to keep just one tom. but I think that sitting a little higher is the best way...
I had a similar dilema, ultimately I found sitting lower helped balance and footwork, and I didn't have a problem sitting 'behind' the kit rather than 'on top' of it. I sit with my legs parallel to the floor :) Set your kit up where it is comfortable and easy to play, not so it looks cool, or like your fav drummers.
i think what people forget is even after all the drums, mics, effects, what matters the most is the room!!!! no one ever mentions it...if u set ur drumset up out side in ur yard its not the same as in the closet, and this room looks perfect for this drum set, i like the sound, but the bass drum sounds a little too industrial for me
Minneman's drums have that dry (someone said "nice") sound that the best technicians insist upon. Buddy Rich did it, and from what I've read in church he begat Marco.
Seriously, that dry sound is necessary with technical masters; their playing is too fast & complex to be discernible through any amount of echo or other aural dilution. Many professional drummers would be exposed as frauds were it not for the magic of reverb.
rjn93, thanks for the video. Anything by Minneman is gold in my view.
@66drummer Hey I completly agree - but I'm not sure any pro drummers are frauds, I mean guitar players use many effects but it's part of the sound. If you're drumming on any semi or pro level, u must still be v v good! But Marco is one in a million :D
is it just me or does his drumkit sound ABNORMALLY nice? im not a drummer im a guitarist, so i dont know much about drums, but i know for a fact i have never heard anyone else with a kit that sounds quite this perfect. its nice and clear, is easy to hear, yet doesnt take up the entire mix
it's a very old set of yamaha, wich is very similar to the yamaha 9000 recording custom, mine is about 20 years old, i got it from my father and i cleaned it, put new lacquer on it and new heads. but they do not produce it anymore. they produced a 40th anniversary kit, in the style of the 9000 ga/ rc
i agree with you killerkumag90.. this guy is genius! telblackwell1980 i think you should watch some of marco minnemann's videos so that you can tell the difference between cobus and marco...
ive heard cobus played drums, but he is nothing compared to marco, heck even mike terrana who is a monster drummer himself said that marco is way way crazy. and besides marco stands with thomas lang, johnny rabb, and more elite drummers, but cobus? no disrespect, but i believe he is not in there ranks. no offense dudes no offense.i like cobus too =)
excellent drumplayer ! ! If there are any one who wonder how you can become such a drumplayer, I would say, practice is the key to everything. And ofcourse a littlebit of talent might help.
I thought they sounded pretty decent - maybe it was just EQed well. The Zildjians do sound much better - I'm glad he went with the K series and not the A customs. There's something about the hand-hammered cymbals that sound so musical.

you can get a drum kit to sound like this through a mix with many plug-in effects
i have a dw kit like his and i can get my set to sound somewhat like his with the right heads
he also has very expensive mics that will change the frequencies that the mics actually pick up so the drums will sound more full and clear
but all in all, yes this drumset sounds sick
i just wish i had his drum mics and plug-ins
