  • what skins are you using there??

    try to perform it with regular ( drumset ) toms !

    And use powerstroke skins . your problem may be sold that way . mine was .

    don't muffle the skins . I believe the whole character depends on that ( except from good tempo and clean 4:3 - 3:4 - 6:5 e.t.c. ) Good job by the way . keep it up man .

  • Well, performing it at a University I was mildly limited to the drums the university has, and wasn't ready to drop money on heads for drums that aren't mine. They're all coated heads, and a mix of remo and evans but just diplomats and generas, nothing fancy.  The muffling wasn't a atheistic choice, in that hall playing with the drums open would have created a wash of sound where rhythm would have been unintelligible, no matter what the heads.

  • 2nd bass drum ???

  • due to the acoustics of the hall, it was necessary to dampen all the drums. That bass drum was the best sounding small bass drum I had access to, and a larger drum would sound somewhat hollow and unappealing when dampened, so i opted to use a large (i think it was 16 inches) low tuned and muffled tom-tom in lieu of a second bass drum. So rhythmic clarity in my performance setting was the primary reason, but I also like that it gave a more unified timbre to the set-up, making it more scalar.

  • AWESOEME! great feel and accurate accents! Damn good job

  • Thanks!

see all
