NinjaDrummist.com Teaser: Practice Tools and Tips (Tour of my Practice Kit)

Check my official site at http://www.ninjadrummist.com for more videos!

Here's some tools and tips for practicing.

My Practice Kit has been a work in progress for a year or so and is an attempt to mimic the size and shape of my acoustic kit. So basically, Im practicing on a quieter version of the same thing.

Most of the kit is made up out of the DW Go Anywhere Practice Kit (White Pads). I wanted a really nice pad for the snare so I have the Vic Firth 12″ Double Sided Pad (love it so much I also want to get the 6″ version of this pad).

The Hi Hat Pedal and Crash Cymbal Pads were made by my Dad. Years ago we were trying to build our own electric kit experimenting with different materials and piezo sensors. Dont really bother with the electronic side of things anymore though.

As you can see, Im very much running out of space in my tiny box room at home so this it is an ideal solution for my space issues as well as neighbour troubles.

Please excuse the video quality. High quality videos coming soon...

Id like to ask, Im looking at getting either this kit or this gibraltar one called GP08 If you google that you will find it, would you think feelingwise and volume wise this would be quieter than the black harder pads? Thanks man!

[ninjadrummist]

@kentsmedblom The pads are soft enough to be quiet but hard enough to feel nice. In my experience, the harder black pads tend to be louder. I tried this one out against a few other models in the shop and it felt the most realistic, can't remember what the other kits were though.

Hope this helps mate :)

i have in my amazon cart the vic firth 12 inch pad but im not sure if i should instead buy the 6inch one, which one do you recomend me=?

[ninjadrummist]

I have both. Depends how portable you want it to be. I got the 12" first and it works great in my practice kit as its closer to a real snare in size. But its big and very heavy so I got the 6" version for taking with me in my teaching bag.

Feel and playability wise, they are both the same, great pads! Mine are the double sided versions by the way, with two playing surfaces.

Nice stuff!  Where did u get ur metronome and how much did it cost?

[ninjadrummist]

It's an awesome metronome. I was gonna do another video to review it a bit more. The metronome and the silencer headphones are some of the best purchases I've made recently. Got hours of use out of them and I've used them in live session work a few times too.

I got them both online from Wembley Drum Centre in the UK. The metronome was £74.99 shipped.
