@papersailsTX Ever taken into consideration he's about 6 feet tall? Im 6'2 and sitting on a drum throne that's almost at the floor is rather uncomfortable. It's all about preferences , yea?
yes, that was style in days of jazz drumming when they used traditional grip which was easier to play with the snare facing down but now i think guys just do that just becauz or they just like 2 play that way the drummer from of mice and men does the same thing lol
@dpocket360 OMAM's drummer does that too?? I started doing it cuz Mike's my hero, and it's actually working to my drumming style's advantage. I didn't know OMAM did that too tho.
I hun out with mike, vic, jaime, and tony there set and i found out Mike loves menthol squares and he's circumcised (yea i asked him)....that makes 2 of us :)
See hes good Drummer not due to technicality cause he really simple.. but do to the fact his drumming fits and hes so into the groove he flows flawlessly
@vic7oor lol yeah I'm Mexican too and I think it's amazing how they're not embarrased to show they're Mexican side like so many ppl are:) I've noticed they also have a lady Maria on their speakers :)
gaaah mike makes it look effortless. I can barely play the drums on RockBand much less do this! and I know they're two entirely different things..I'm just saying :)
@MaryDarkness100 Yeah, I didn't knew that all members were mexicans, Iam mexican and I'm proud of it.
So I see it cool that this dudes show how they're proud to be mexicans, Also I was born the same day as Virgen Maria's Birthday. Thats why I see it so awezome that Mike uses a Lady Maria drum! I like em' more.
I know nothing about the band, but I play with my snare drum at the same angle, but a bit lower and further forward. The reason for me is that it allows me to have the snare in a low position so I can really lord over it. The tilt makes the stick impact more natural and comfortable- rather than coming down on a flat snare at a weird angle, for instance. It's hard to explain but basically, it's super comfy and looks cool as fuck.
@DavySolaris easier for rolls if you have it set up properly, makes your snare a hell of alot louder, cause like almost every hit you put on it is a rimshot, which makes it sound beast, and yeah, makes it look cool as fuck :)
Mike Fuentes is soo fucking amazing and talented! his kit is sooo amazing He's sooo passionate about what he does too which makes it even better! and I love how he's screaming out the lyrics along with the fans! :D
@whospatrick i saw it at warped and i thougt it was weird for tis style, so i went home and tried it and i love it, it gives more power, especially loud rim shots, now i leave it this way haha
@whospatrick, he says he was inspired by buddy rich. If u watch him play from this angle it looks like he is doing rimshots all the time (snare and rim together) it gives him a really cool hard hitting sound
@whospatrick because thats how he learned from his dad, plus thats the old school way of how to play a snare, hahaha i dont mean to give a drum lesson hahaha XD but the traditional way of holding a drum stick makes it hard to play a snare when its flat, so snare players (that had the harness on) played with the snare tilted forward to better fit the way they hold the drum stick, i hope that helped a little XD hahaha sorry for the long comment
@whospatrick i have no idea. i thinks its just how he likes the snare to be like that cause some drummers dont like hitting the snare flat. alex lopez of suicide silence hits his snare super angled towards him idk tho
@whospatrick mike's biggest drumming influence was from a jazz drummer names buddy rich. he's one of the greets drummers of all time. buddy was known for slightly tilting his snare forward. it's also all about comfort i till my snare forward cuz my arms are kind of long so it helps and feels more comfortable
@whospatrick we play that way with the jazz style and it gets a rad solid hit for us personally with our kits but everyone to their own, not to mention he has a rad kit!
hes so good he doesnt even have to pay attention to what hes doing he can shake his head and act like a nut
