[qazwsx8152]

pretty good !!

[woweasyguides]

Are your bass drums triggered? And what head is on your snare?

[alan517815]

@woweasyguides What does triggered mean?

[Jatounit1]

@alan517815 Basically making the double bass sound louder than it's being played...

[alan517815]

@Jatounit1 also more synched?

[alan517815]

@Jatounit1 But using mics also makes it sound louder doesn't it?

[Jatounit1]

@alan517815 Yeah it will, I'm not too sure how it works to be honest cos I'm not a drummer myself, but it's basically for when you're playing really fast double bass notes and you're hitting it really light. Using a mic would make the sound louder for every note you play, whereas I'm guessing using triggers normalises the volume across the entire track, meaning it will be roughly the same loudness however hard you hit the bass drum.

[alan517815]

@Jatounit1 Ok, i feel bad for not knowing and being a drummer xD

[Jatounit1]

@alan517815 So you've never heard of triggers before - that's a good thing :D Some people think it's kinda cheating to use them because it shows weakness in your ability to play double bass fast but maintain power behind each hit.

[alan517815]

@Jatounit1 I've heard of them but I didn't what they were for :P i won't use them anyway :P

[Jatounit1]

@alan517815 Awesome :)

[HardcorePunk98]

wow. you're awesome. and btw cool cap:D

[muhdrockerz]

[xChristmasTree]

Is it a drummer's thing to play topless. Dun think I'm weird , but I'm a bassist and I don't understand why most drummers do so.

[hottgamerman]

[raitoxote]

The thing tthat I like about Avenged Sevenfold is tnat they are a hard rock band but they don't scream too much like other metal bands!1 . sorry for my spelling

[2RockMe2]

I've been listening to A7X all day; just got turned onto them by my 17-year old son, who is a fledgling drummer. My new favorite song is Nightmare. They rock it and so do you! Well done!!!

[ALifeThereAfter]

[XxXxXdrummer]

HE SHOULD REPLACE THE REV... MIKE IS THE BEST DRUMMER BUT NOT THE BEST DRUMMER 4 A7X UNFORTUNATELY HIS STYLE IS NOT COMPARED TO THE REV'S ONE... SORRY MIKE.

[BretThorson]

[siebelebieb]

totally subscribing to you, You rock!,, Btw,, whats that tattoo on your chest saying,, and on your back.=

[tinker4win]

do you take requests? if so can you do My glass prison by Dream Theater?

[fipoch]

Any bass drum tuning tips?? My drum came with a 20" bass.

[stgelaisxavier]

@fipoch For me, I've been playing for nearly 7 months.. I found that i like a really tight back head (the one you hit with the pedal) and a somewhat loose front head.. Then make your pedal loose, as the tight back head with provide the rebound. It also makes the pedal work nearly effortless

[fipoch]

You should do a cover of Save Me!

[DEATHRITUSchannel]

good job !!!....the long hours of learning have worked dude !!

[MRThunderBird12345]

new snare :P

[Mixos1014]

very good mate...keep up the good work \m/ i am a wannabe drummer and it is so good seeing guys like you as inspirations...

[SuperDanishDrummer]

[snlman22]
