Hi-Fi Brass drumming

[metiltdah]

which one is the crash near the ride you use more, it sound nice! is it the stagg??

[pyhtio]

@metiltdah that's the byzance 18" thin. stagg is the one above the hihat.

[MegaGuitarFreak123]

ja taas aivan uskomatonta työtä. :) tuo ride on aika mielenkiintosen kuulonen. minkä merkkinen? :D

[pyhtio]

@MegaGuitarFreak123 Sabian HHX groove ride 21"

[MegaGuitarFreak123]

@pyhtio niin mie vähän arvelinki :D kaverille tuli eilen samanlainen :D

[AphoticAgony]

your technique is amazing. how you're able to hit that lightly and have so much power and control is just astounding.

[LaughingOutKraut]

Four things:

1. Nice playing!

2. I would be happy with that snare sound, too.

3. Looks like I'm not the only one (besides Terry Bozzio) who likes to play "melodies" with his toms.

4. Your hi-hat stand is noisy. You might wanna check that.

[jkeep31895]

i love the snare sound.ahh

[yaoauatauabaea]

He has quite big tits!! :D

[AdamScadAdam]

Snare sounds awesome at 1:59-2:02

[iendacard]

Nice playing! Love the Granstar. I have a Crestar which is very similar.

[rhettro10]

dude i watch this video like every day! so simple but so awesome!!!

[crapi88]

una cuchaa pa comprarle un sosten a esos pechoss jauaojAUjaoU

[bradley659]

that is genius! i play drums and i am gettin better everyday, im stuck with cheap drums but i have them sounding the way i like. but on christmas i did get two zildjian cymbals

[XxSharkBatexX]

I just love the way you use your toms while playing the whole time! Also, that kit sounds awesome. Congratulations!

[PattyWhomperOFFICIAL]

sm57 not good for a Sensitone... its a drum that has most of its soul in the treble/upper mid range...

[hyperrev86]

Man the toms sound great!

[cuschtim5]

lol funny i have the feeling i know u from the movie "YAMAKASI" its a parkour-movie and there is a guy that looks very close to you :)

[pyhtio]

@cuschtim5 What's more funny is that Yama is pronounced like Jämä in our language, which means leftover. Käsi means hand. So the name of that movie sounds like leftover hand to me.

[RazeOut]

which one is the classic splash ?

[pyhtio]

@RazeOut It's the rightmost cymbal from your perspective. You can notice it's a bit more brown than the other cymbals.

[Superandrd]

dude...your drums sound like heaven is emitting from speakers

[rzkruspe666]

So many dumb assholes who hit the dislike button -____-"

[OrganicTrichome]

This is Awesome!

[JanizPetke]

Rock out kaima!

[aso209]

Nice sounding snare i got the sensitone steel 6.5 sound great i love it!

[drummerkid904]

Your timing is fucking excellent. Very impressive

[versaeger]

nice kit!

[RichRobinson]

sounds big and full. nicely tuned too, which is refreshing!

[zeppelinrules69]

hey man, love the snare! i want to get the same one. Just wondering why you went for the 6.5 rather than the 5? is your 6.5 good with other styles? i play mostly rock but play funk, pop and latin. thanks

[nevermoregg]

@zeppelinrules69 6.5 has more volume + bigger. 5" is better for jaazz

[pyhtio]

@zeppelinrules69 6,5" would be the obvious choice for rock but 5" version is probably more versatile. If you wanna play funk, pop & latin too, I think I'd go for the 5". It's cheaper too.

[jimmylaporte]

The Drum sounds awesome , but I love those dw9002 more :D

[kickinitonthetube]

diggin the kit man. love the finish.

[mattwalker21]

Wonderfully crafted solo! All of your musical ideas built organically, logically, and musically. This is what drum solos should sound like!

[danthman44444]

do you like the 24x16 bass drum?

[GermanDrummer1880]

by what is your bell and what size is it?

cool drumsound

[pyhtio]

@GermanDrummer1880 It's a Stagg Black Metal bell, model is 7" light, I think. Thanks!

[GermanDrummer1880]

@pyhtio thanks dude

[sicjustinmagot]

that was one of the most entertaining drum videos i have ever seen. you are one great drummer

[MPdrummer1]

PEARL IS THE BEST!

[drumsticks135]

This sounds great. Enjoyed listening!

[sketchbager]

wow

i really love the tom-to bass drum double bass sound.

really inspiring beats.

i think ill go to my drum kit and play some of them!

[TheMisha1000]

brass or steel?

[pyhtio]

@TheMisha1000 Brass. Steel in earlier vids. I upgraded :)

[TheMisha1000]

what heads are on the snare and is there dampening?

[pyhtio]

@TheMisha1000 Remo ambassador coated batter and ambassador snare-side. No dampening or a small Evans min-emad to cut overtones just a little. Can't remember for sure. But I never use anything more than just minimal dampening except on kick drum.

[HeavensLoser]

im obsessed by your rack tom! it sounds immense!!

[wilyjameson]

Very nice style and playing.good job on double stroke note on kick.

[TheMusicOnMax]

Thats some awesome drumming dude :D

[shammerHammer]

Who said playing drums isn't music? Awesome style!!!

[ThePearlGuy]

Hey man, nice playing and a sweet sound. Just wondering what heads you're using on your kick, batter and reso.

[pyhtio]

Thanks! Bass drum heads are Remo Powerstroke3 coated batter and Ambassador coated resonant.

[THEPANTSWEREDEAD]

I used to be a big fan of Remo until I got the Evans Ec2 sst heads, they sound amazing. Your kit sounds amazing, very clean playing style too.

[sketchbager]

@THEPANTSWEREDEAD i disagree completely, just my opinion. its all about traditional 2 ply heads.

[ivanlito4]

Rifadoo :D your drum set sound Gud

[MapexRG]

great playing

[TheAndybobandyy]

your drums sound amazing

[cariboufudge]

your kit gets a sweet sound, man! Very even playing too. good job!

[olneymaryland77]

What kinda mic are you using on your toms? Is that an audix f90 on the small tom?

[pyhtio]

The mics on toms are Beyerdynamic Opus 87.

[lapiska]

Smooth playing!

[777EZekiel]

you look like a twin of inferno oo .. but youre the groovier brother :)

[crazychickendrummer2]

what drum heads are you using on your toms?

[pyhtio]

Remo coated Emperor top and clear Ambassador bottom. And no dampening!

[AteHer27]

Sweet Kit

Love The Tuning!

[morpheusdrummer]

you have a VERY interresting low tom sound!! I Dont tune this way at all, but man its really great to her that sound.. Its like an effect sound!

But i would never tune my drums that low but its a very cool sound! 5/5 stars!

[icedrummer4]

good creativity =]

[TonyJames95]

god, that snare sounds great!

[thomasloyens]

grooves nicely, and good miking

[Carminesilano]

sweet grooves! snare sounds great!

[aso209]

Nice work! dang how many pearl sensitone you have?..i know they have brass,steel,bronze,and aluminum which one is the best!.Im still debating between brass and aluminum..

[pyhtio]

Just one, I sold the steel-sensitone. It was good, but the brass.. Lots of body, warmth, crack and volume, brilliant ghost notes too! I couldn't ask for more in a snare drum!

None of them is the best, but I'm pretty sure I've found my favorite! You'll need to try them out to know which one is for you.

[kellynkarr]

you're fantastic. You're drums are recorded perfectly.

[d4gmusiqlover]

I love this video. It's laid back and cool.. Keeps you entertained. Nice job!

[p0w3rKiLL]

Wow... i love your snare...^^

[MartiSNTK]

very goood!

[MartiSNTK]

very goood!

[deryck92]

nice kit you got there =)

[migoffspring]

what drum heads are you using in snare?

[pyhtio]

Coated ambassador on top, ambassador snare on bottom!

[shialekow]

the simple perfection

[NashMickey]

Hey I really dig all your videos bro. You got a really a sick groove to your drumming. Keep it up. I'm getting inspired.

[pyhtio]

Thank you!

[V1C2]

dude love it! did you use an eq for this?

[pyhtio]

Thanks! No EQ'ing, just a little compression.

[V1C2]

so would you reccomend a D112?

[pyhtio]

Yep, it's almost an industry standard, after all. Almost every studio has one (or more). Either that or Shure Beta52.

[V1C2]

yeah ive got one now too. can you give me any tips on how to place it or whatever you do to get your sound? :D

[pyhtio]

Depends on what kind of sound you like. If you want lots of attack, put it inside of the drum in the middle (same distance from each head), pointing at the center of the batter head.

For more low-end and a little less attack, put the mic outside of the drum and close to the resonant head. A little off-center.

Also experiment and use Google. There are lots of guides about recording a drum set on the internet! You'll find what works for you eventually.

[WelcomeToRapture08]

its going to get a lot better with some EQ, sounds really good as a raw mix...but needs some work , would never sit in a mix like this

[pyhtio]

I know it's possible to create a much better drum sound with the same equipment but after all, this is just a drum solo in Youtube. And I'm a drummer, not a sound engineer. I'm happy with the mix, my goal is only to put better drumming into the next video.

When we're recording for real, I let my guitarist handle the mixing, I just make sure the drums are loud enough :)

[WelcomeToRapture08]

ye i can understand that ...im a musician...also an engineer. nice drumming ...keep it up

Oh..really beefy snare sound ....:P

[llJorgelI]

sounds like if it were studio beats

good job man

[wertt1]

Mulla on kans toi sama snare ja on ihan vitun hyvä :)

[abcmetal]

can you explain how i can get my presonus firepod in Cubase LE 4? and how i get it worked and started?

[pyhtio]

I can't remember the whole process right now but in Cubase you need to go to VST Connections (or VST inputs/outputs) and set the firepod channels in there. Before that you need to have Firepod ASIO activated in the Cubase settings. Not sure if this helped at all but check the manual or Presonus -website..

[shardsofmay]

I enjoyed this a lot not boring like most videos.

Good job dude.

[ninja1dalbem]

3:55 ! love it :D

[Drummaster12345]

wat do you think about the stagg metal bell??

do they sound good when you mix them in?

im thinking about buying one

im a heavy metal drummer too by the way

[pyhtio]

Stagg bells are so cheap that you can always buy a few and see if they blend in with your other cymbals :) I have two, the 7" light works great for me but the 6,5" medium bell doesn't sound quite so good and I rarely use it.

I don't consider myself a metal drummer and I rarely find new inspiration in that genre these days..

[pyhtio]

Many thanks for all the compliments!

[Pearlforuman]

Jumalauta että groovaa.

Svengaa kuin hirvi !c

5/5

[Chrisser90]

You're drumset sounds and looks fantastic you must put a lot of time in making your drumset sound and look soooo good :-D

[pyhtio]

It's a good drumset, I don't have to do that much :) Ok, maybe a bit of tuning every now and then..

[everXfrost]

Nice warm and tight sound! Tama sure sounds great. Your drumming is also very nice - nice dynamic range and stick control. Fine grooves and patterns - keep it up that way! Best wishes.

[simonpca]

Oh... and congrats for the great sound... Clearly mixed as I like it :P

[simonpca]

I kinda see a hint of Benny Greb's influence here... Sweet solo!

[pyhtio]

Glad to hear that, I'm going in the right direction then :) Thanks!

[tamskid]

!!!!Way good job that's awesome!!!!
