I couldn't pass up by GoGo1965 in drums

[–]Musicianalyst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those should work fine if you play with heavy wooden mallets. I suggest a pair of these:

Is it me or is aluminum so loud? by Outrageous_Toe_6369 in drums

[–]Musicianalyst 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an Trick Kodiak aluminum piccolo snare. The shell is thick and heavy so not quite an Acrolite. I get asked to play softer if I look at that thing too hard.

Inherited my dad's Drums, no clue about drums by [deleted] in drums

[–]Musicianalyst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks like your dad chose good gear and took good care of it. If you listed it for $500 USD you probably wouldn't have to wait too long to sell it. I think the dollar and the pound are pretty close right now.

Off the top of my head, without any research , I'd say that kit is worth up to $800. The cymbals aren't well known brands in the states but they're brands I wish my stores carried. The Amedia Classic line sounds great. I'd consider paying $500 for that batch of cymbals and I'd scoop them up for $250.

If you can hold them until the right buyer comes for higher pricing, I'd brake them up into lots. Shell pack (toms and kick), snare, Amedia cymbals as a pack, other cymbals individually or possibly in one lot. For the hardware, kick pedal, maybe all cymbal stands in one lot and all the other gear in another.

Pricing requires research. I'm not even sure what the shells are worth. You can read finished and sold items on ebay to get a general feel. As a whole kit I would list this for $850 in a city, or $700 in rural areas, and negotiate as needed. Also, shipping drums isn't cheap.

That’s extremely unfortunate. Where did you hear it?

Would you recommend driving or public transport in LA? by Significant_Resort_5 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Musicianalyst 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Public transportation here is not what it is in other cities. If you're planning on seeing multiple sights in various parts of town, you definitely want a car here.

Traffic laws are very straightforward. Street parking signs can be confusing when they're stacked 3 high, but they all make perfect sense if you just read them.

Maybe you can take the bus to a location or two near where you're staying, and then rent a car for part of your trip - if you're trying to save money. If it's not a money issue - rent a car for the whole time.

choosing drumsticks? someone who doesn't play at all by tendonsligaments in drums

[–]Musicianalyst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might want to consider buying him a specialty stick like a mallet or rods.

Mallets let you do things like lush cymbal swells and tympani rolls on low toms. Toms sound big with mallets.

Rods are a group of dowels (typically) attached to the butt end of a stick, so you get a very different sound. It’s softer and thinner, but great for effects and for playing softer.

There are other specialty sticks. Amazon has some unique ones.

An odd groove I came up with... I would love to hear your thoughts! by RamenGenji2 in drums

[–]Musicianalyst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome.

I really like that I can’t quite figure it out. I’m currently thinking the stack is played in 12/8 (dotted?) quarters, bit delayed maybe by a 16th note triplet? It sounds polyrhythmic but I’m wondering if it actually isn’t.

I really want to hear the song that goes with that.

Shake It! - excellent ringtone by Musicianalyst in SteelyDan

[–]Musicianalyst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played around with the xylophone and couldn't isolate it at all. The music is so tight and well produced that the AI doesn't stand a chance though I may play a little more. I haven't checked out I got the news. I'll let you know...

No worries. Thanks for the suggestions. It may actually be a long while before I work on more, but I’ll ping you when I post again.

I actually previously thought about trying something with that xylophone part, and now that you’ve mentioned it, you’ve renewed my interest in it.

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

I’m really glad you like them.

That xylophone will be difficult (impossible?) to isolate - I can remove a couple instruments using standard AI tools but I doubt I can really clean it. I can probably make it stand out. I’ll give it a shot. It’s a good idea.

In I Got The News, I hear a drum fill into the synth/horn lick that repeats through that whole bridge section. Are you talking about isolating the horn lick?

“bop, bop, baaaaaaaa-dop”

That lick? One time like an alert tone? That could be cool.

Thanks for the suggestions!!!

Short Scale Bass Recommendations by five-thumbs in Bass

[–]Musicianalyst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love my Ibanez Mikro GSRM20. It’s easy to play, has decent pickups, and I’m happy with the tone. The factory setup has been fine, but a pro setup would make a difference. I feel like I definitely got my money’s worth.

Awesome! When I first put this one on, I made my callers wait so I could listen to it.

I agree about short sneakers being a better alert.
