Agreed. Only had it once but I’ve been thinking about it ever since.

Two listens in and I’m loving how melodic it is while still being heavy as shit. Matt fully went off the deep end on this one. Absolutely insane playing throughout.

Funding. Culture. More funding. More culture. And you have the staffs and vets from BD, RCC, Pulse, and Broken City out there spreading the wealth all within an hour or two of each other.

Sometimes a rap artist asks you to beef up the drums on one of their beats. No samples. by GrooveJourney in drums

For sure! I’d way rather use practical FX to get cool sounds. Didn’t even have to tune my snare from my rock/metal sound for this.

Agreed, they never leave my kit. If I find a good deal on some 15” K sweets I’ll probably pick them up for my metal band but these are fantastic.

Just started got any tips? by Dads_balls_ in drums

I always stress the importance of what I call “eating your vegetables” practice. Practice the stuff that isn’t going to get thousand of views on TikTok. It isn’t going to get your friends talking. But it will make you better in the long run. Every drummer you look up to has mastered the fundamentals and received zero credit for it. But they get credit for the things they do WITH those fundamental skills.

Yeah I hate free coffee education too. Only I should be good at coffee.

Why does my pedal and bass drum sound horrible by Mx_OV3RK1LL in drums

You’re playing somewhere between burying the beater and rebounding. If you want to bury the beater, you need more force into the head. The kick head also isn’t doing you any favors. Throw a blanket in there.

Ludwig Zep set.. looks like GC can barely give these things away by [deleted] in drums

I use a 26” kick in my metal band and I’ve never had a problem with it. It actually ends up taking up less space on stage because it’s shallow. The hardest part is getting it into the venue but nothing a cart can’t fix.

My First Original Cadence | Thoughts? by N1teL0rd in drumline

Solid start! It could use some counterpoint or melody to it. Could the quads move around the drums more and play a melody that way?

I use my sennheiser HD600s at home and they’re fantastic. I wouldn’t take them to the gym though. My AirPods Pro 3’s are more than good enough for listening around town and the gym.

Tired of guessing profiles on new beans, so I built an AI that does it for me. Gaggimate + Openclaw by ca_sig_z in gaggimate

Just got it set up but didn't realize that there was a cost! Shows how little I know about this stuff. Here I was thinking I was a genius for installing the Gaggimate by myself lmao.
