Architects drummer Dan Searle gives Rhythm Magazine a tour of his drum kit

[natewez]

such a nice man

[MrHatMan94]

can anyone explain to me what he's on about from 3:49 onwards what on earth is an 808?

[danielcalderon]

@MrHatMan94 Basically when a breakdown or powerful part in a song comes, he hits the sample pad, which is hooked up the the Roland SPD-S module, and it samples a blast of bass which sounds similar to the low end of an explosion and with a good enough sound system, shakes the entire venue. That is an "808 bass drop." The huge monitor to Dan's right is his own that he brings to "feel" the 808 and get pumped live! I know you feel the need to add that to your setup now haha;)

[MrHatMan94]

@danielcalderon oh i was wondering how they did those drops live thanks alot man i most definitely do feel the need to add it to my setup that fuckin awesome! cheers for your help!

Does anyone know where to track down some foam for the kick drum as at 0:31?

[WeeOnDrums]

haha! it seems that we've got the same taste in drum heads! i've been using power center snare heads from the start of drumming and i thought they were very good, but then i've found ST heads and now i'm stuck with them for the rest of my life! ST are wonderful heads and the name speaks for itself- they really are super tough and last forever! all of my toms are G2 too! they are hard to tune, but when you do it it sounds amazing and also last for ages!

[XicedreamsX]

his 12" tom is actually 9" deep, not 8" :)

[NateVonGrimm]

I think most of you are getting confused.

Architects USED to be metal.

They now play more on the hardcore side.

They even class themselves as Hardcore/Post-Metalcore.

[MrSuperEgg]

All the way that all I wanted was a little demonstration of what he was on about.... damn :P

[shanekerchen]

Next step from Rock sticks?......Tree Limbs

[Myfellowofsolitude]

What happened to the splash cymbals that were on the first three albums?

[JoeMorris7]

60th like, trolololol (if you like cats)

[richardpearlmasters]

"I used to laying into a 22", that just feels tiny to me now..." THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!

[richardpearlmasters]

Hell Yeah to the click broo!!

[Simsfreakmoni007]

@SabbathWickedSabbath

Tell us what not metal about Architects? M-O-R-O-N!

[zzyzxDUFFY]

those sticks are ridiculously tough, when i saw architects last month i managed to get hold of one, does anyone know where i could get a pair?

[thejambo93]

@zzyzxDUFFY Vic Firth American Classic Rock sticks, just Google it. You can pretty much get them anywhere

[MrMaccelinho]

i never understand what the drummers are doing with their ipods

[WUTBM]

@MrMaccelinho click tracks

[MrMaccelinho]

@WUTBM so are these clicktracks just normal mp3?

[WUTBM]

@MrMaccelinho yeah, they'll make up a click track in a music software program that has all the time changes and stuff, then make it into mp3 and put it on their ipod

[muss19827]

Haha! Bill Ward has never had anything near the same drumming skill as Dan Searle IMO. And Hollow Crown or Ruin vs Paranoid what a ridiculous comparison.

Now back to the Vintage Rock channels with you!

[psudude715]

interesting how has a full set of zildjan cymbals but the description says sabian...

[jobencore]

Your description and everything says sabian, but he is all zildjian

[OurLastActOfficial]

seems like a lovely chap!, a awesome drummer to !

[FisherxCOREEEE]

@SabbathWickedSabbath They're a metal band you moron...

[SabbathWickedSabbath]

Metal band? Did he seriously call Architects a metal band? Someone needs to buy this guy a copy of Paranoid.

[IAmProbablyMike]

@SabbathWickedSabbath to be fair, metal is a very varied genre, and their stuff (old and technically new) comes under it. doesn't really matter anyway. metals changed.

[IamPsyclone23]

@SabbathWickedSabbath They are a Metal band ...

[RazzalDazzalKTD]

@SabbathWickedSabbath Are you an idiot? There's obviously more than one type of metal.

[KiraYakimi]

@SabbathWickedSabbath Metal is the Trunk of the genre. All that Mathcore/metalcore genre shit are just stem and leaves. He's also their drummer so... Lmao. Spastic.

[DarthRhaadoo]

@KiraYakimi bro METAL is dead , trust me music adapts sound evolves i dont raise emokids but there are metalcore bands bands without the scene shit and stupid hairstyles bands like architects , i used to listen to obituary , death , death metal and technical shit 4 years ago and those guys are much technical are more beautiful in sound compared to those drunk , druged fat and stupid rednecks who express HATE and stupid things like that .

[KiraYakimi]

@DarthRhaadoo Better than listening to this shitty dubstep, hip-hop and RnB going around.

[DarthRhaadoo]

@KiraYakimi true :]

[setra23]

@SabbathWickedSabbath You sir, have no idea how wide metal is.

[LewisTheDrummer21]

Awesome new set up! Good to hear these guys are doing so well!
