Ya fallowing this camera guy

[mprimecoleman]

The EMAD rocks. Genius idea.

[drumeshopeth]

isn't that the shamwow guy? meth has really taken it's toll....

[JBL8863]

Evans no longer makes the RGS+EQ pad with the plastic adjustment...They do still make the EQ pad but not with the plastic brace that secured the pad against the head.

They also no longer make the foam muffle ring for the 5" port hole, it's been replaced by an adhesive rubber ring that can't be removed.

I use a drum dial when I tune all my drum heads...It's accurate fast and percise.

[prestigiousdrums]

thanks Bob for the tips very well stated

[Moshinmysocks1]

you like it to be like uh uh UH UH!

[Drummerking158]

666th vid great

[fuichi]

i wish he came to my house to tune mine =]

[eminemyoyoyo]

@fuichi me too :P cause i just replaced my drum heads and want someone who knows how to tune a drum set to tune mine :/

[HaimeToroPath]

Anyone know what the black ring he uses is specifically called? and where I could get 2?

[sparks18190]

hi i was wondering what head you would recommend for a 22" ? im liking the sound of an EMAD 2....

Thanks

[hollywood5one50]

Thanks!

[blica1]

hey bob ,

great technique and very helpful..i was just wondering which head would you recommend for an 18x16 bass drum , in order to get the best possible punch with low mid, and mid range sustain..i'm kinda torn between the powersonic and the evans emad..both clear , ofcourse..i know it's a matter of taste for the individual, but i'd like your opinion.!

thanks, again, and keep the great videos coming !

cheers !

[mangie222]

is the evans eq3 bass drum batter head self muffling?

[T93X420]

@mangie222 Yes, it is. It's built with an internal overtone control ring and an EQ muffle ring. I'm supposed to be getting mine today, but UPS is taking forever.. ugh.

[Jbams01]

just put a pillow in the drum....same thing

[jonnyboulanger]

this dude looks like an older Kevin Pereira!

[maganashi]

Some good points, but this is just an advertisement for their "inventions" (Minus the heads, obviously, they actually are good) which can be substituted easily by sheets/blankets.

[ScottyA328]

lol!! he seems to be enjoying himself at 4:33

[mck750]

My 2c worth ...I have a 20" birch kick, PS3 batter and ported Aquarian reso. My findings with the Evans pad "for me" worked best with it facing East West across the drum with one corner of the pad just touching the reso head to get a nice heartbeat.

[diversionblue]

Hi...nice Evans...but do you have any tip how to tune a Ludwig c.maple 26 x 16 BD to sound LPP?

[Dizzy90405]

is that the most intelligent comment you can come up with based off of the constructive critcism i was trying to give? whose the gay one? grow up

[cashmerestaten]

lol i did grow up. yesterday was my b-day

[Rockinnsk8inallday]

lol

[TangoAlphaNiner]

those dang rings suck. they both ripped on me. the head cuts into the cut even deeper so eventually the ring splits :(

[milhuisen]

I bought one of those emad heads with the foam ring and the frikken glue went and the ring peeled off. Wasn't cheap either !!

[quackbeef]

get an eq3 or eq4, it is tough as heck and lasts a lot longer

[renquist13]

"oh yeah, wriiinkles" "look at those babies"

[zash008]

he sure likes to come up with acronyms alot doesnt he?

[zash008]

he is killing the drum by puting all this dampening rings and pillow material in it but yet then he is listening for resonance. no wonder the doobies are has beens.

if he had a good MAPLE shelled bass drum he could just tune a thick head to its lowest tune without it sounding like paper and it will rock with no dampening. Drummers put dampening in thier drums because they see others do or they have luan, basswood, or other cheap wood shells.

[Dizzy90405]

not true at all i dampen my drums because i like a clean sound with absolutely NO over tones, my old snare drum was a 400 buck ALL MAPLE snare with no dampening that sounded like shit and now i have a smaller steel snare that was 170 bucks and it sounds much better with dampening, its cheaper and more effective.

[cupiidakarezo]

Man that is so fuckin true!! I dampen my drums cause I like a clean sound too. right on.

props.

[pbandja10]

that's because you have an untrained ear.

[Dizzy90405]

i have a very trained ear, i played violin for 9 years and ive been drumming for 8 so please dont tell me that.

[alexShine41]

nice man what you do with the 400$ snare drum?

[Dizzy90405]

traded it in for mic cables

[DonDrummer]

sometimes you can find him fucking the drum in the night true history

[maggotvenger94]

HAHAHA!!!

I've never seen someone so excited about wrinkles...
