would u mind posting a vid of how you tune ur snare drum? or maybe post it here, or like what kinda snare that is??

i have a steel shell 14", but i cant get a nice sound, i get an alright sound, but not like urs man, help me out!

Hey- I wish I knew an exact technique. I used to joke around and say that I tuned my drums by leaving them in my car after a gig. You have to consider the room that I am in in this video....what you are not seeing is that the door is open and outside the door is a huge hall covered in tiles, making the drum echo/crack like crazy. I will say, get a drum that weighs alot. Don;t go for a piccalo if ou want crack. Piccalos cut but they dont have any bottom end.

So, look for a heavy drum....I prefer metal, though I have seen one drum with wooden hoops that has some killer cut. The drum should be deep. A nice, tight head, but nothing too cranked, and a nice room and there you go. Have you tried your drum in different locations? You might be suprised. I have my snare in a place right now that kills all the good qualities you are asking me about.Long story short....heavy drum, deep, metal, tight head, good room. Good luck. You will find the right sound!

hey man Around 3:22. This is the first time iv ever seen someone come up with a solution to stop me from hitting the piss out of my own hands while doing snare hihat licks. thank you very much!

[coltrain210]

Yeah that is a sneaky little move that should be more popular than it currently is. I stole that from a straight up inner city gospel drummer. He had little technique, but great feel. I don't know if he knew how practical the way he was doing it was, but either way, I stole it. Man I haven't seen this video in a long time. Tine sure does fly.

This is a very good lesson! I've done tons of foot/hand combos but never this one. I can't wait to get on my drumset and try this!!!! Thanks so much for posting!

What drumsticks are those?

[ajstill03]

its easier if you incorporate this fill in loose phrasing. Playing straight can work, but it sounds more "clean" in loose phrasing.

[jevosaphain]

use it as a polyrythm fill in 4 over 4 time!

[SmileyKiller300]

I know I posted last week, but watching you teach this stuff, amazing. I am almost in disbelief at the quality of the skill and great teaching techniques. Keep the video's coming, very very inspiring. You take the mystery out of what sounds impossible to do. What you choose to show should be made into an instructional DVD. You make one I'll buy it, many thanks for sharing!!
