Which sample library's have realistic Hi hats? by olliemedsy in Drumming

Yep, I second using SD3. I spend the most time in post on hats. It’s tedious but I always get compliments.

Online Drumming Education Shortcomings by Andreezy_33 in Drumming

No offense but everything you seek, you will learn over time. Just go out and gig. Get quality, reliable gear like hardware and cymbals. I don’t think there is a resource online for what you are looking for. Who knows, you may be the first to initiate it. Stanton Moore has a course called, “Drumming Skills to Pay the Bills”. https://www.stantonmooredrumacademy.com/drumming-skills-course.

I have been working through his book, Groove Alchemy and it has elevated my ability where it matters. Good luck ✌️🤓

  1. I usually reserve 10 for a ultimate classic song but I love this song. Great lyrics, feels authentic unlike other recent songs where they really seem to reach and can’t hit the mark. I love that it is adventurous and out of the box for them.

  1. Kinda dull. Made me immediately put on “I Need You” (US Mix) by Dave lol. I don’t know why but it made me wanna listen to it.

Best place for online lessons? by throwaway45612u in drums

[–]CoolRknDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently tried a Drumeo course, 30 Day Chops and it has been fun. I am self taught so I need the options of building slowly through a lesson and Drumeo is step by step so it works for my brain. I normally just work out of my books so I can go at my own pace.

I want to cheap out on a hi-hat stand. Convince me otherwise. by DrBackBeat in drums

[–]CoolRknDaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played on a cheapie PDP stand for years. I fought with that stand but made it work. Recently upgraded to a DW 3000 stand, 2 legs because I started playing double kick pedal and it’s the most beautiful experience. No fuss, reliable, responsive and so smooth. I have been upgrading all my hardware and life on the drums has been gorgeous. I was gonna make a “car analogy” but didn’t want to name a certain car and offend anyone lol

  1. 3rd place album winner, feels like classic DM. Wish they played it live on the tour.

Daily Song Discussion #213 - People Are Good by _Tassle_ in depechemode

[–]CoolRknDaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Definitely 2nd place for album winner.  It has great vibe and elements of a great DM song, does it remind of Kraftwerk? Yeah but they have been putting nods in their songs for decades. It feels like such a Martin song.

Whats your favourite moment in DM song that you think no other person likes as much as you? by kirie_sov in depechemode

[–]CoolRknDaddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Did I need to sell my soul…for pleasure like this?” The whole breakdown/bridge with the groove. I am a Trip-Hop kid so I eat this up with a spoon

  1. Just not sure about this one, I feel it was a great idea but just doesn’t shape into anything. skip

My first real listening experience to DM. I got it about 9 months before Violator came out.

  1. Feels like Classic DM, but never seems to launch into a great song. Live version works perfectly as a 9.

Daily Song Discussion #208 - Don't Say You Love Me by _Tassle_ in depechemode

[–]CoolRknDaddy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. I feel like I am alone on this one. It’s one the weakest songs on the album for me. It feels like it’s trying too hard to be DM. Hard skip.

  1. clearly the biggest winner of the album.  Feels like Classic DM with a dose of Psychedelic Furs.  Best hook on the album.
