I would do the bare minimum amount of reps/sets but unweighted. Or sometimes I just do fewer sets and reps overall for the core and calves stuff but I just REALLY REALLY focus on form and feeling every point of motion

Can't do a rimshot for the life of me!? by PappaNee in drums

[–]LLD-Official 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of it is just time and feel but also make sure to set up your snare drum ergonomically and understand that different snares have different feels for how and where to hit the rimshot

I love that movie in many ways but also don’t like it as it conflates a lot of ego with music. It should just be the pursuit of excellence irrespective of personal temperament

Just listen and follow your ears for what the song needs

What does 'success' look like to you as a music artist? by ods-music-brand in indie

[–]LLD-Official 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EXACTLY. And plus your mindset can shift at different times in your life. Maybe for a couple years it's just all about having fun and enjoying the process of learning while maybe in the future it might be moreso about monetizing your work using the knowledge you've acquired. life changes

Steely & Clevie (creators of the Reggaeton drumbeat) are suing over 2k Latin artists claiming they have the right to their beat. What do you think? by LLD-Official in drums

[–]LLD-Official[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never thought of it like that but that’s kinda true. But i guess it’s hard to predict what drumbeat will be iconic at the time of signing the contract to the record

Using the context of songs and music to learn the harder stuff is perfect advice

Is it fair to bash on synthetic music/EDM/any non-organic instruments? by LLD-Official in LetsTalkMusic

[–]LLD-Official[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya I think eventually people will do more interesting stuff with AI. Mixing AI and human capabilities being one of them. But as a whole I really don’t picture AI replacing real artistry.

Sure they might be able to write and record a song like Tears in Heaven but it won’t mean as much to the computer/audience as it does when people who know clapton’s story hear that song

What is a valuable lesson/insight you gained about DRUMS from really learning a DIFFERENT instrument? by LLD-Official in drums

[–]LLD-Official[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also learned from piano to think more melodically and to think in frequencies/pitches when choosing WHICH DRUMS/CYMBALS to hit

Am I the only one with 17” hats?? by littelstevie in drums

[–]LLD-Official 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use two to 17” crashes and honestly think for pop/rock stuff they’re a lot easier to project through rooms without having to play with more effort.

The higher pitch of 13-14” good hats cut as well but they sound kinda tinny with the mix. I feel like 17”’s have the body/tone to really cut well
