Oasis - Wonderwall - Mart1nwalker - drum cover Alesis DM10 Pro Kit

[Mart1nwalker]

Hey thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. Yeah he uses fibres or brushes but live he used sticks. You should try using

Rods too. Anyway it doesn't matter. Whatever you want to do is best. Do it your own way and kill it. Light touch and loose wrists. Have fun and be sure to send me a copy of your cover when you've done it

[crisoliver98]

Heyy Man really nice cover was just wondeing where i can find the notation for the song doing it for an exam. Well played!!!

[npg68]

nice work! i have played this song in a cover band and i could never get my head/ears around what is really going on......so i just played it a lot more straight forward. wish i could have seen your vid back then! keep up the good drumming!

[Mart1nwalker]

Hey man cheers for the nice feedback

I prefer some of my other ones but enjoyed this too.

Are you in UK? If so you can get them from rockem on eBay for £5 for the 8" ones

On the continent you can get them from Thomann.de

In America there's a supplier too but can't recall the name it might be Jims drum shack. Just search for Z-Ed or mesh hedz.

[AGomolka]

hey man nice playing and nice kit.. I was just wondering where you got the mesh screens cuz i need 5 8'' screens for my kit

[Mart1nwalker]

Hi there. The noise is reduced by 90% but feel and realism is reduced by 50% overall.

The brushes flix stix use are a nylon rod.

But you can get hot rods too which are timber strands. They are noisier but give better sticking feel.

Experiment and see what suits ya.

Have fun

[Mart1nwalker]

They trigger them really well you just need to a bit more snappy with your wrists for more intricate stuff. Actually - practicing with brushes would be great for building up the wrists and improving torque.

If you find it a problem you can always increase the sensitivity on the piezo trigger up or down to suit.

I'd recommend flix sticks or hit rods.

[FranceIsBacon]

@Mart1nwalker Thanks much. About how much is the noise lessened when using the brushes? I've never actually used brush sticks so I don't even know what material they're made of.

[FranceIsBacon]

How well do the brushes trigger the cymbals? I already have the kit but find the cymbals way too loud for me using regular sticks.

[GuinnessJunior]

good stuff.

[Mart1nwalker]

Hey @ poisonedrummer

Cheers for the sub and the nice feedback. I'll look into doing that again tomorrow with sticks maybe then but certainly with better audio settings.

[PoisoneDrummer]

I martin i got to see this video in response to your comment on mine :) I tough it was really nice, but like the other i was wondering how it would sound with normal drum sticks because i don't really hear distinctly your drums with the sound in the background. But great playing and timing, i subed too because it's always interesting to see other drummers way of playing ! See ya around ! Cheers

Hi

Alesis pads are the most realistic as they use real heads which you can tune and change. You could fit the head you normally use or a mesh head if you want silent use.

I have mesh on my snare and single ply stock heads on the rest. I'm going to swap out for remos I think

When tuned up they feel exactly the same as acoustic drums.

I'm using brushes as I was playing the brush kit and it was just to show the response from my trigger settings and for real playing feel on the track.

[Mart1nwalker]

Arrrrrghh. I used the wrong audio and video settings. Never mind. I'll do it properly again some other day.
