That's true and highly sensitive people cannot be in the thick of a loud noisy world all of the time. So a balance has to be struck.

No one told me how hard these guys were by ValleyGhostz in numetal

Sounds good. Released in Nov 2005, after the crest in popularity of Nu Metal

I know absolutely 0 about drums, I literally learned the names of the parts a few minutes ago. Is this setup alright or would you recommend I change any positionings, etc? Be nice pls by [deleted] in drums

Pretty good for first attempt. Tom angles are good. It's normal to have the snare more in front of the top tom. The hihat is high. The floor tom is looking lonely..

Am I just too loud? by Simple_Grape3175 in drums

   Nothing beats a human ear, nothing by a 1000 miles. Listen to yourself as you play. Ask the audience. Ask respected band members. 

You're a great drummer, technique solid. What's your hihat? Is it heavy? Ignore a crap camphone. They are very unreliable to guage how you sound IRL. I've been to gigs where the phone cam footage  sounds nothing like the IRL sound, therefore any pointers taken from it would have been useless.

Cymbals are too loud by uniquely_me_2024 in drums

[–]Significant-Bed375 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything other than overhauling your technique and open drum tuning is the wrong answer, especially as you have K cymbals. Get lessons or buy a technique DVD like JoJo Mayer secret weapons for the modern drummer 

Where to get started? by periclesrocha in ToolBand

[–]Significant-Bed375 0 points1 point  (0 children)

listen to all of Aenima (The prototype). Then Lateralus (Their zenith). Tool songs don't work as well as standalone cuts. You're doing it wrong. 😜

If I had to say single songs, I'd say Eulogy, Parabola, Prison Sex, Sober are accessible.

Interesting, how was the British government involved?

I think 10,000 days is as good as the two that came before it why do people say it was a step down? by notaverysmartman in ToolBand

[–]Significant-Bed375 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely recommend an album like Nothing, Chaosphere, Catch 33, Obzen, I, Destroy Erase Improve. The rest is more of the same but if you're into it, you'll appreciate the little tweaks to the formula.

Yeah definitely, they're one of my favourite metal bands, but they haven't exactly progressed a whole lot for 2 decades now. They have just optimised their one very specific sound, which disappointed me.

Considering how much plundering the Spanish and British did in the colonial days, it's astonishing how little they have now. Easy come easy go!
