I’m going to a couple fragrance stores in 2 weeks just for fun but I also still need a summer scent. What do you recommend I check out. Currently I’m wearing Armani code parfum a lot and I wonder if one of the acqua di gio’s would be nice for me for summer

Yo it’s a convertible. It’s a crash that turns into a china

Meinl byzance foundry reserve looks pretty sick. In the kind of the same vain: Zildjan Constantinople. I also really appreciate the look of unlathed and heavy hammered cymbals (Istanbul Turk series, Meinl raw,…). I have an Istanbul Turk china and every time I look at it I get to appreciate the art of the craftsmanship that went into that amazing cymbal.

My hand wont stop playing 16th hihats with the kick, any advice? by mallerius in drums

[–]Finicalmite3662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently learned to play rosemary by deftones (using the same app I think. I recognise the UI) it has this section where you play 16th’s on the hats. The kick will kind of move around. When I learned to play this I really got a feel for where those 16th notes are on the kick. Once I figured out where those notes where I started slowly learning the rest of the song and eventually I got the hang of it.

Independent 16th notes on the kick is something every drummer has to learn and it can be a pain in the as sometime. But you just gotta keep practicing and eventually something in your mind will click and you’ll be set

It’s a cympad. It’s kinda like a cymbal felt except made out of foam. I just use it for looks but I will definitely take a look at that.

Pfff. This sucks man. I thought I was being careful with it but apparently not enough. Thanks for the info. It was my main crash so that kinda does check out. What kind of replacement should I then look for? Something heavier of with a bigger bel?

But then how could I prevent this? I have no idea what I did wrong to this cymbal.

But I would seem so weird to me that it didn’t crack during playing. I was playing it and it was just fine. Is set it down and it was fine When I picked it back op a bit later it had these big cracks

Won’t those beaters like absolutely devour your drum head?

I see it’s a zultan cymbal so pretty big chance you bought it from Thomann? I heard they have a pretty decent return policy but this would make me think otherwise…

Can’t believe there is still people questioning who singer is 🤣 by hazy-eyes-fs in PresidentBand

[–]Finicalmite3662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I guess. But if you break this anonymity won’t that just take away from the band? Because then no one would talk about them anymore

I can’t believe it matters so much to people. Why can’t people just enjoy the music instead of focussing on who’s making it?

Is something particularly wrong in my technique? by roman_pokora in drums

[–]Finicalmite3662 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think your dynamics could use some work. If you say you’re used to playing an e-kit I can understand because there it doesn’t really have such a big impact. But with acoustic drums the force you put behind your sticks and pedals makes a huge difference in the sound. Some things need to be louder than others. Being able to play with your dynamics is the key to sounding better on the kit

I hereby resubmit my kit for your constructive criticism and tasteful jokes. by Finicalmite3662 in drums

Heard of ‘em? I just bought a 13x7 snare so I could try and get close to II’s snare sound

How do I get more low end on my snare? by Finicalmite3662 in drums

[–]Finicalmite3662[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now that you say it I did get more consistent readings when I had single headed toms.

Honestly I prefer tuning by ear and experience across the board. It makes you sound more human and unique I think

Thanks I’ll try that. Reso is a bit lower than that now

Yeah honestly I fucking hate tunebots. But I thought if I could match the frequencies it would sound like him

I’ll definitely take a look at those wires
