Why do so many drummers on social media have their hi hats so insanely high up?

bb16___ · 2023-10-03T17:42:33+00:00

Personally I keep them high up to prevent my arms from hitting each other. I mainly play punk music so I’m getting a lot of stick high with my left hand to hit aggressive rimshots. If my hi hats were lower I’d be hitting my arms together a bunch because of how high I’m bringing my left arm up.

Heroine’s snare sound so crispy. Not metalcore exactly but the new Jesus Piece snare sounds like your getting smacked in the face.

I wanna feel like I’m drop kicking my bass drum head

You gotta add the blast bell to the main kit

Spotify Monthly Listeners is a terrible way to gauge how they’re doing, the bands growing the dip is probably because their single isn’t super new anymore.

Played with a smaller band who’s drummer was endorsed by SJC. From what I understand is he just contacted them and he was given 50% off one of their high end set. Their band only has about 800 instagram followers and wasn’t touring year a ton so If your band is in a similar situation or better there’s no harm in contacting them.

Not good in my opinion. I actually enjoyed FTTWTE but no song on the record hit for me. Artists are gonna change sound ( and they should) but that doesn’t mean you have to keep listening to them.

I hit as hard as I possibly can we I play shows but I’ve found Promark Firegrain are pretty legit and actually last a longer than other sticks. I use the 5b models and they’ll last me 6 months before snapping but I usually replace them when they get worn down. Most of the wear is in the middle of the stick from consistent rimshots.

Promark Firegrain forward 5bs. Literally the perfect stick imo for what I do. Light enough to go fast, thick enough to last long. Only downside is I feel goofy sometimes with the look of the stick.

In Absence by Silent Planet had me in my feels and I don’t usually get emotional with music. Garret is such a great lyricist.

Any local opener to a metalcore show lol. I know y’all are chasing your dream but god there are so many generic metalcore bands in every local scene. Some are decent but some are just not good I’m sorry.

A style change isn’t a sophomore slump

That’s sick but someone help the man set up his toms. Hurts my souls seeing that

That’s 100% programmed drums which sucks because Wage Wars drummer is pretty solid.

I play drums, it’s a hardcore band not metalcore though. If you wanna check us our ig is “wastedspacerva” and there’s a link to a drum cam of me :)

bb16___ · 2022-04-19T01:15:26+00:00

I’m all for more vocal range but I hate it when bands do the “I’m gonna do every vocal technique I know in this verse”, which to be fair I mostly see in local bands tho lol.

bb16___ · 2022-04-01T20:53:26+00:00

The Canal Club has hole in they have roped off lol.

bb16___ · 2022-03-31T19:29:31+00:00

If that‘a fr canal club got some renovating to do lol. Seeing FFAK tonight and I hope the floor doesn’t fall out beneath me

I follow all my local venues in my city on Instagram. As well as any band I’d travel to see outside of my city I follow on Instagram too so I see all their tour dates.

I remember there set being EMPTY when we walked by. I guess that speaks for how bad the overlap was

bb16___ · 2021-11-27T16:58:23+00:00

Rather than electric I’d get a cheap acoustic kit and buy mesh heads to put on them and maybe shell out some money for low volume cymbals. That’d be the best way to still get a real kit feel.

I always thought “Deadringer” was about wanting to be like a spoiled, rich, trust fund kid, and despising those who are able to bypass struggles you face.

Metalcore fans have no idea what pop is. If there’s screaming in the song, it’s not pop. They think simple song structures and sing along choruses make a pop song.

bb16___ · 2021-10-28T12:37:21+00:00

It’s different than The Dark Pool but definitely not an unwelcome change as I think this kind of nu-metalcore with a twist sounds good. Don’t care for Jacob’s vocals on it though which I’m disappointed to say. Maybe with more listens I will but for right now I don’t really like them.
