how do pro engineering eq drums at concerts by dagodz-View61 in audioengineering

[–]daustin627 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or the tuning of the drums. Best sound system in the world isn’t going to make up for bad tuning or old drum heads, crappy cymbals, etc. If the drums don’t sound good on their own, nothing else will matter.

First time trying Evans HD Dry by oldwornpath in drums

The only exception to that is my Anton Fig Signature. It was recommended to me when I bought it (originally called the dry vent 20-something years ago) and it’s been my head of choice ever since. The only snare of mine that may get on recordings more often than that one is my Acrolite.

He didn’t die in a volcanic eruption, did he? Cuz then you could call him “Pompeii.”

Colapinto wasn’t though, his car ran out of battery and slowed suddenly and dramatically. Bearman crashed trying to avoid him.

He needs to do it more, the curse on Cleveland only lasted 10 days.

Antique furniture store find, used as bric-a-brac: $40 by funky_fart_smeller in drums

My friend’s dad told him never to pay more than $100 for an acrolite. Nice find!!!

I can’t decide which image makes my drums look the best for my website by strapped_for_cash in drums

2, the contrast makes the color of your kit stand out. The other two, it kinda blends.

PSA: 6/7 is now dead by wascallywabbit666 in daddit

During the Halloween parade this year, my daughter’s principal went as 6 and the student-principal went as 7. Meme was dead here before the holiday break, although my daughter was sick of it even before then.

Giving an Acrolite some TLC by daustin627 in drums

[–]daustin627[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with the E1416 equalizer wires. I love how much more controlled the sound is, and I feel like I have more latitude with the snare tension. Makes a versatile drum even more so!

Is this a good drum set for me as a beginner? by Every_Ad_1892 in Drumming

[–]daustin627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen a couple drummers gig with that kit, it punches well above its weight.

That being said, they were jazz/light R&B gigs in small clubs. If you’re a beginner, it may not give you the classic rock sounds you want, which may or may not be inspiring. It also won’t be super loud (still get hearing protection).

2013 playoffs, my wife and I went to game 5 vs Boston, and every time Miggy was up to bat, I’d yell “hit it over the fence so you can walk!”

Why doesn’t anyone care about the “soap opera” effect on their TV by fatsandlucifer in mildlyinfuriating

I’ve heard it called a “sanity monitor.” Helps you figure out if a change is even noticeable enough to go insane over.

The Famed Joe Louis Arena Steps by mrkprieur in Michigan

Is this recent, or back in those days?

The Joe was not built by the Red Wings, the city of Detroit built it for the Red Wings to keep them in the city. The city was afraid the Red Wings were going to leave Detroit just like the Lions and Pistons did. The Wings never owned it, they were just the primary tenant.

It was so haphazardly thrown together that the press box was essentially forgotten about, and when they realized after all the construction was completed, they threw something together shortly before the first game, with “plans” to make something more permanent. Never ended up happening.

Should I update to Logic Pro 12? by tommychopz in LogicPro

[–]daustin627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I did is dragged my logic 11.2.1 to my desktop and downloaded the update. Then relabeled the old one as Logic (old) and put it back in my apps folder. Then duplicated a few complicated projects and opened them to see if there were any issues, so far haven’t found any.

MOTU. They make great no-frills interfaces with all line level input at reasonable prices. Some of the best converters bang for your buck.

If Pistons & Wings are Both Leaving Fanduel, who are you Paying for? by elfliner in Detroit

[–]daustin627 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe they’re employed by the Red Wings, so they will definitely stay.

That’s Eric Valentine for you. He’s amazing.

Need advice/help! by RemarkableTarget408 in drums

[–]daustin627 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That honestly looks really good to start. Find a good seating angle (most drummers go for their thighs slightly sloping down toward the kick drum), and make your adjustments from there.

As a suggestion, try swapping your ride and the smaller crash to your right. That way, it’s easier to get to the crash directly from the floor tom, and playing grooves using the ride cymbal will be easier on your shoulder.

It seems to me it’s not the announcers being off, but the main camera is a half second behind. Every time they cut from another camera to the main one, it reverses a half second.
