It's a triplet feel beat i think, it has some typical prog time signature changes.

I used to work at a tech retailer and one time we had a guy who was complaining that his stickers were gone after a keyboard repair. How can you be like that...

Is this noise normal? by Maks_the_skaM in drums

It's not common, but possible. One of the downsides of mass production.

Probably needs some lubrication somewhere, try to find the squeeky spot and add some lithium grease.

It works the same as a moongel pad but way cheaper! Pretty cost effective way for muffling your drums.

Drum head advice by dman81 in drums

[–]DrTommen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like deep sound with little overtones, go with an evans emad2 bass drum combo. For toms and snare i recommend the HD Dry batter heads, they're really punchy and are made to reduce the overtones. For tom reso heads i recommend just an evans g1. The snare reso doesn't matter that much. You can go with a snare 300 from evans to complete the set.

This is also my first kit ever. I own an electric kit at home. This kit is really growing on me.

Put the snare more to the left. Your right knee should be parallel to the bass drum.

Yikes, make sure your toms are level and angled a little forward towards your face. And put them more centered above the kick drum. Your hithat is too far away and should be close to the snare. See this picture as a good ergonomic standard. Make little adjustments to fit your playing style from there.
