Grooving on the Drum Set

[BateroNs]

Hi hat is zildjian avedis 14 new beat?

[Adrumer1]

nice muller

[tornmask]

excellent! =0]

[bingbingontherocks]

u great

[royalrumble2001]

nice drum set

[712536]

What snare resonant head do you use?

[drumswack]

@712536 Resonant - Remo Ambassador Snare

[712536]

@drumswack I take it that that's the hazy?

[drumswack]

@712536 No, it's a clear head. There are Ambassadors and Ambassador Snare heads. On the musiciansfriend website it goes by Remo Ambassador Medium Snare Side Head. Hope that helps!

[mikecips4]

Hi, i just got this kit, and wow i love the sound of your snare..how did you get it to sound like that? Here's the catch..i have a pork pie snare though..

Thanks man.

[drumswack]

@mikecips4 what kind of shell are you using?

[Wolverine51324]

The snare sounds like Chuck Norris landing a roundhouse kick squarely on a guitarists jaw

[aughanna1]

play me some motherfuckin funk !

[hermandrum]

groove!

[MetallicaItalian]

Is that sensitone aluminum?

[drumswack]

yes it is

[MetallicaItalian]

It sounds awesome. I'm about to get a Sensitone Aluminum myself. Everybody recommends the Ludwig supra phonics but I think they're far too expensive for the same drum with shitter hardware.

[jewis101]

nice groove man. its so much better to see that some fellow drummers still just 'feel the groove' and let things flow. rather than just thrash everythin like these travis barker wannabes

[phlcollison]

what kind of snare are you using?

[massive0random]

sensitone 2.

in the description

[greatkid1]

Nice beat!!!

what is diameter and depth of the snare??

Keep up the great work!!

[sharkmouthBJ]

Yeah!

Love the snare sound.

[tix666]

nice beat!!

[cecitodrummer]

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­d!!!!:):):)

[rugbyangouleme]

grrrooooovee :)

[pulse06]

I just wanted to know if you put any muffling pillows inside your bass drum

[drumswack]

I don't use any muffling pillows

[AshDrums7]

I like both Evans and Remo drum heads, but the Evans heads don't get scratched as easily. Is it a sign that the Remo heads are worse?

[drumswack]

don't worry about drum heads getting scratched. It's all in the sound, and in the end it is preference.

[pulse06]

Great drumming! I'm still stuck between different Sabian hats and the A custom Mastersound. Your hats sound great! So i think i'll go with the zildjians

[madhouse2222]

I would go with the Sabian AAX X-Celerator Hats, i find that the sound comes out better, nicer and it projects definetely better.

[drumswack]

okay sure

[Resetii54]

Your really really good at drumming!

[drummerdudesam]

hey dude, i just got the new sensitone and was wondering how you tune yours, iv tried everything and i keep getting messy overtones and with dampening it sounds way to thudy, any tips? cheers

oh and great drumming =) x

[IsThetCorn]

sweet technique.

[borishog]

nice feel bro

[winiwano]

nice druming and tom tuning too ;D!

[YogritMUN]

GOD dude you are amazing! get in a band NOW!

[drumswack]

i would like to be in a band. that would be nice. i've recorded and played in bands before but no one i know really is into it at this point but i have very musical friends. its just that everyone's busy. lol and im left at home with a kit in front of me.

[nickgabe1]

u were choppin wood there for a second

[DrumNBum]

i watched ur other vids. ur amazing. beats are simple but so complex. lol b4 i found ur profile i typed in saves the day cover "at ur funeral" becuase i wanted to watch a band cover of it. and i saw that the drummer was playing different and that he was screwing up the feel of the song. so as i went to comment on it i saw that someone named "drumswack took care of it, u said what was supoosed to be said. and good job for taking care of that "partyfoul94" guy who thought he knew evrything.

[drumswack]

haha dude thanks a lot. i appreciate your comment very much. by the way can u give me the link of that vid with partyfoul94? lol cuz i'd probably laugh at my own comment

[bendrummin]

You've got some chops.

[drumswack]

thank you :)

[DigaDupSuck]

How long have you been playing? Did you go to school for music? I love your style, you have really solid grooves.

[drumswack]

i've been playing since 8th grade. i got into school for music but i decided not to go. lol. im actually a trumpet player.

[Frankster81]

Very good! Oh, those "paradiddles"...I'm awful at those. If they're slow, that's ok, but I avoid them. They sound really good when played right, though. As soon as I try them at a faster tempo...show's over.

[drumswack]

hey thanks. practice makes perfect!

[juanbarros88]

ignorant comment really

[Frankster81]

Which comment do you think is "ignorant"?

[juanbarros88]

Im sorry I didnt mean that, but you should know that practice makes perfect, You can't just say I rather avoid those paradiddles. If you practice with patience you can do any paradiddle at faster tempos.... I bet you knew that quite well

[Frankster81]

That's alright, I see what you mean. (This is one of the problems of older words - like ignorant - changing their meaning. Ignorance is simply lacking knowledge of something which I do about lots of things. But these days it tends to be used in an insulting way. I don't believe you meant it as such.

You're right about practicing. I've been bent out-of-shape lately because of my playing. I just finished practicing and my wrists ache. Arthritus is getting pretty bad - but I won't stop trying.

[drumswack]

lol play nice. i consider all advice and im willing to try new techniques if they better myself. i cant do it alone! by the way.. i didnt use one paradiddle in the entire video. most were doubles or singles. :)

[muystrafreshwes]

Again, as posted on another drummer's vid, It's nice to see that I'm not the only Club Mod owner that doesn't play shitty 2&4 punk beats on those beautiful drums. Just so you know, you can special order a 7"x10" add on tom for that kit. Mine is in the mail.

keep it up, bro.

[drumswack]

Where can i order it from?!?!? I would love to have two rack toms!!!

[drummergirll]

you can usually order extra toms from the shop where you bought the sit - if not - then from any good drum store.. or if you dont know of any then try ringing or going online to some other drum stores that stock those kind of drums.

nice playing by the way - and a great sounding kit!

[bma852]

not to shabby. i like it.

[drumswack]

thanks

[jdl1881]

Nice drumming! I really like your fills - I need to lear those. I am OK on grooves, but not on fills. Any suggestions? I had the Acustom hats and absolutely hated them, then changes out the bottom with the A Custom Masters - now I love them.

[drumswack]

I would say learning basic rudiments like flam rudiments, paradiddle rudiments, and singles are key for some pretty good sticking fills. I will come out with new videos soon with that sort of stuff kinda explained lol. but thanks for ur comment!

[drumswack]

also just listen to a lot of music! thats where i get ideas from :). I mainly listen to hip hop, funk and r&b and also gospel chop players.

[Fusionhawk4]

Great video, the set sounds great too. You should do some drum covers! :D

[drumswack]

any suggestions?

[Pughugger]

Put earphones !! you will lose ur hearing... =/ nice drumming and hum what u use for ur bass drum , evans emad and what in it?

[drumswack]

Evans Emad 2, nothing in it. The front head is ported though.

[mivec2805]

dude.. i love all about this video. your cymbals, your snare and most importantly is your playing!!!

btw im an Asian too! its nice to see great asian drummers here.

keep on playing dude, more video please!!!!

[drumswack]

[andresilvestresantos]

[drumswack]
