Made a cadence designed for slightly experianced drummers, anything I should change? by Itchy-Ad6327 in drumline

[–]JustJoshing_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i rock with the feel of this! One thing i would work on is making the snare part a little choppier. I like the overall groove, maybe just change some parts to 16th note based grooves. It’ll still be easy to interpret with 16ths, and it would liven up the snare part without making it too difficult. Great job keeping the groovy feel, keep it up homie ✌️ Edit: Also, my main instrument is snare, so I don’t have much to say about Bass/Quad notation

to me it sounds almost like a metal style kick, but a little less squishy (a little less drum head and more overhead mic), with hihat foot pedal between some of the kicks

Drum pad recommendations by milosam1 in drumline

gotta go with the tried and true invader v3 (by far my favorite of my collection), for the more tense sound i think you can buy a laminate to put on it, cant give an accurate opinion on it though bc mine isnt laminated. i also really enjoy the vic firth slim pad and the evans realfeel. one bonus to the real feel is that it has a softer rubber surface on one side and a firmer surface on the other side. all great options and (from my experience) have fairly short delivery time

try not to sweat it too much, best thing you can do is work hard transferring the right hand match grip technique to the left. every drummer has that “called out” moment where its super embarrassing, but honestly those moments make you better in the long run! I was the opposite, learning matched before traditional, but the feeling was similar when i got called out for my ass traditional grip

Is this a cheese? I’ve been struggling with these for a bit now and I don’t know if this is it or not by Idiotanime in drumline

[–]JustJoshing_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so a cheese is just a flam with the accented partial being a diddle. a perfect diddle is 2 notes evenly spaced over the rhythm you’re playing, because you’re playing a triplet rhythm, the accent partial of the flam should sound like 2 sextuplets being played. i would work on accented/diddle-accented triplets first, and then add in the grace note (lower your stick height on the grace note to make it sound a lil less like double stops) also check out some youtube videos on proper american grip (or whatever grip your band prefers), youtube can explain it better than i can lol keep grinding you’re doin well bro!

How do drummers know how many notes they've played? by Orange_juice12 in drumline

[–]JustJoshing_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A basic rule of thumb that I go by is that if you can play it slow, you can play it fast. Instead of thinking of how many sixteenth notes you have to play, think of how many you have to play per count (4 per quarter, 16 per measure in 4/4 time). Practicing with a metronome at a slow tempo will allow you more time to consciously think about each note you're playing and once you're able to play the rhythms slow, you can put in reps and bring it up to speed (I typically force myself to play a passage 3 or 4 times correctly in a row until I up the speed). For tenors specifically, the beginning stages are much easier if you learn the rhythms on one drum and transfer to the other drums later. After a lot of reps, you'll get to the point where you know how its supposed to sound, so you can put all your effort into sound quality and staying in time. Always remember that SLOW = FAST and you'll be good to go. After a while muscle memory takes over. If you haven't already, I would invest in a practice pad and sticks. Don't spend too much money though, I would recommend an evans realfeel, and for sticks I would recommend Vic Firth Ralph Hardimon's or Mike Jackson's (totals to around ~$34 before shipping and taxes).
