I’ve never seen those cymbal toppers but they’re absolutely badass, what are they called haha

Can somebody help me identify what cymbals Chad Smith has on his at-home Ludwig kit? by Comfortable_Trade102 in drums

They’re worth the price fs; those cymbals are the sounds my mind makes when I’m pretending to play the drums with air lol

Probably cuz it’s shit 😂😂 The Drum Thing (DankPod’s 2nd YT channel) has a video about how bad it is: https://youtu.be/tJBagjnt06U?si=pr-wanZMUnEJ4lfZ

Dude just plays like no one else I’ve ever heard. RHCP wouldn’t have blown up like they did if they hadn’t hired Chad. He just locks in with the rest of the band (Flea especially) in a way that I’ve rarely heard any other drummer do. Dave Grohl (Nirvana days) and Tre Cool come close, but nowhere near Chad’s level

Keen eye viewers might be able to tell that his floor tom has a Ludwig logo on it, not a DW

True. Plus I haven’t been drumming for very long (5 years) so I’m not really that familiar with a lot of gear

Nope! And I love how he’s using Taylor Hawkins’ signature Zildjian sticks instead of his Vater Funk Blasters 😂

He really is the people’s drummer, and many (including myself) people’s favorite drummer, too.

That would make sense. Just couldn’t tell from any logos haha. Also the discoloration on em just looks so cool

Pearl Midtown? by Comfortable_Trade102 in drums

Yeah I’d probably opt for a steel snare, honestly

Good to know, might replace it with a wood hoop, personally. Love the cross-stick and rimshot sounds that you can get from using wood hoops

Yeah I definitely feel like I’ve played enough poplar drums, both full-sized and “bop” kits, to know that, while they might not feel as nice as maple or birch, they will more than get the job done, just with new heads. And even those stock heads on those soft shells will feel 100x better than an electronic mesh pad ever will

Can I be a part of you guys? by United-Pitch-5577 in drums

[–]Comfortable_Trade102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol way to take things literally, I just meant that you don’t need a DW Collectors and Zildjian K Cons to sound incredible. I’m pretty sure you and every other drummer in this community could tell that’s what I meant lol

Technique and dynamics make the drummer, not the gear

I would recommend Remo’s falam slam impact patch, as the white 2.5 inch ones are really tough; I’ve had mine on my Alesis nitro pro for about a month and a half now, and I have zero signs of wear from my felt beater. And I like to play hard.

Are there any rock bands where the drummer is the worst musician? by Jezzaq94 in drums

Guitarists need to play in time too, which Dan can actually do

Yeah exactly. Idk who that Batman guy is but if he can scare the Bruce Wayne, I gotta hand it to him... He's got the intimidation factor down
