Testing different double-bass pedal

[TheMASDrummer]

your toms looks terrible

and sound terrible

but its better to have a drummer on a crap kit then a shitty drummer on a good kit

nice playing :)

[jammardhee]

pretty tight!i like your snare,it sounds sexy! :))

[MicLODsonKDYboxes]

i like your style man

[MiKill93]

i like your snare

[drmrdan]

great hand technique. loved it

[AM0ERIC0AN]

I use Evans Onyx heads on my Slingerland set. I use the classic Pearl Eliminator Belt Drive Double-Pedal but am getting tired of it. I love the sound of your snare, what head and side head do you use? It's clear and marching band stylized.

[seitecerotrece]

why do you switch between matched and traditional grip? does it serve some purpose in sound? or just preference?

[chief62]

No purpose really. I was taught to play traditional, but can play better matched grip. Some stuff just feels better with the traditional grip.

[SpAz3m666]

hi hat is to open

[McBc666]

cow bell pedal??? wut is that?!

[chief62]

I rigged a cowbell to a spare bass drum pedal, to play with my left foot.

[ab3m4n]

your toms look very uncomfortable.

[XxGP4KxXShadow]

My best is 779 in 60 seconds...u beat me by 2!!

[Auron710]

u ever tried orchestrating some of the rudiments u are playing on the snare? you could have some cool grooves from some experimentation =)

[rambalamb]

my best is 781 in 60'secs

[largepeople]

damn dude you got hella rudiment. great job.

what pedals?

[FeelOfFriction]

why are you playing so softly? maybe its just me but my drums sound like crap when i hit them softly

[BMoney107]

That is because you do not have good drums, or good drum heads. You don't always have to play 12 or 16 inches. Dynamics are are great thing.

[FeelOfFriction]

i have a cheap but i have good heads and i have to hit them hard to get the full sound

[BMoney107]

My kit gets great sound at high and low volume. What kind of heads do you have?

[FeelOfFriction]

remo ebony pinstripe but my drums are so cheap and crappy and old they just dont have a good sound anymore, except the bass durm sounds REALLY nice like studio quality with the emd 2 and emad resonant from evens

[BMoney107]

yeah, I have given up on remo. Sorry to say it but I hate the ebony pinstripes, they are purely for looks. I would suggest getting some evans EC1 or EC2 for your toms, and a genera dry (with the little holes and dampening ring on the inside) for your snare.

[a7x8899]

hats what i use on my set

[Drumboy81]

Nice chops!

Let me guess...you have played/play in marching drum corps? :oD

[chief62]

No drum corps. I did march in the University of Arkansas Razorback band.

[Drumboy81]

hehe ok. Just a thought.

You have good time and your 6-stroke rolls are great also.

[EliRichard22]

ur pro!

[hockeykid125]

what kind of kit is that???

[chief62]

It's a late 80's Pearl Prestige Session kit.

[SoloDrumMax]

[SoloDrumMax]

[chief62]

It's a Tama Iron Cobra.

[JAndrade24]

this guy is bloody awsome

[metallicrules]

What skins do u use?

[chief62]

Remo Pinstripe Ebony heads

[FeelOfFriction]

why is the top hi hat cymbal so high up!!?!?!?!?

[chief62]

I prefer to play the high-hat closed with my foot almost to the floor.

[Brazilianjj]

Fucking awesome.. sounds amazing

[hungryspartan]

How did you get your bass drum to sound so PERFECT!!

[dukeballa154]

[middle2k6]

Good Drumming, What Kind Of Kits That?

[chief62]

Pearl Prestige Session Series. It's probably 15 to 20 years old.

[mickanelawd]

[myusernameiscool1]

duh lol :)

[Drummerguy10]

lol

[cowboylover65]

Would like to see the pedals while you play.

[killswitchhabib]

hey man, thats really good, especially your snare fills, theyre great, with your double pedal you should try some mike portnoy beats, they are fairly simple and sound really nice, i have a really short example of some on my site, i plan to put some more on later, but yea, check it out nd leave a comment if ya want

seeya

thanks seeya

[Doooba123]

at 1:37 nice shift from traditional to matched grip and the experiment was ok nice done... nice double bass but the solo could i play with single bass pedal 3 stars

[drummer047]

Im buying a Tama Iron Cobra Powergilde soon, really good pedals but can be pricey, so im probably gonna get it off eBay. What snare do you have, it has a really nice tight crack sound. I really like your snare work!

[chief62]

It's a 13" Tama hand-hammered, double-chromed piccolo snare. You can get that sound from almost any piccolo snare.

[tarotfest]

hey man, great playing. i have a set of iron cobras and im not liking them to much, i had a set of sonors b4 and they felt much better, im thinking of getting pearl eliminators, whats your take on pedals, what s the best option in your opinion

[chief62]

I have never used Eliminators, but they look like excellent pedals. All the better pedals have enough different adjustments that you can get them to sound and feel however you like. In the store, I thought the DW pedals were the easiest to play. The PDPs I bought for my electronic drums are excellent, and they were only $99.

[Marlfox555]

I havn't played a pearl eliminator double but the singles are great. Lots of adjustment room and overall my only complaint is the same I have with every other pedal. The footboard is too damn small. 99% of drum pedals must be made for frikin kids (or I just have big feet)

That problem is easily remedied by removing the toe gaurd aand playing barefoot though. Overall a great pedal.

[chloroxjello]

I went for some Pearl Eliminators. I love all the adjustable options. Yeah the double chain PDP wasn't too bad. Actually better than the DW7000.

[toujizanai]

get some rem O's

it keeps the toms from sounding so "George of the jungle" like

[chief62]

I like the "George Of The Jungle" sound!

[SpeedSticksStuart]

Yeah!!!! You are freakin amazing. The whole solo was great.

[chloroxjello]

Wow, nice hi-hat positioning. So the PDP pedal isn't to bad ej? I'm in desperate need of a double pedal with limited cash.

[chief62]

If I had to go out and buy a new dbl pedal now, I would buy the PDP.

[killersrhere]

Hey chief im kinda new at drumming i have a yamaha rydeen set and im wonderin..... what type of pedal has the best sound and is really under 100$

[chief62]

I've never played a better dbl pedal than the Pacific (or PDP). You can pay a lot more, but I wouldn't...

[rut18]

you can always try doing that with one foot shure it wont be as fast but look at john bonham did with out a double bass pedal

[chief62]

I switched from my Tama Iron Cobra over to the very inexpensive Pacific double pedal. It was on my electronic set. I find it to be a much easier to play pedal.

[Neilbassett]

what pedal is it

[chief62]

Thanks. I've been playing with a couple of guys lately. We'll see where it goes.

[cripplefriday]

i'm liking the cow bell, i guess playing since 1975 ha really paid becuase that was class

are you in a band?

[mjautos]

fuck you are good man how long u been playing the drums for?

[chief62]

I started playing in the seventh grade (about 1975), and got my first drumset in about 1977. Only in the last dozen years or so have I gotten more serious about it.

[crazyboy37]

sweet

[MADROCKS212]

nice control there did you start your playing in a drum corps?

[chief62]

Thanks. The closest I've come to drum corps is playing in the University of Arkansas Razorbacks marching band.

[xkingjordanx]

pretty good
