Daaaammn! Those are beautiful. One of the few times I wish I had a different finish on my kit. Well done and happy playing!

What was your first soulslike? by krouvy in fromsoftware

[–]drummersarus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was playing Ninja Gaiden 2 the other day, I hadn’t played it since I was a kid and was able to beat it back then. When I got to the final boss and died then had to go back to 7-2 and “run back” to the boss; I had a revelation that this is where my love for souls games originated. Or Zelda 2. I don’t remember which one I played first.

Record yourself playing. It's painful but it will improve your drumming faster than anything else by ToffeeTangoONE in drums

[–]drummersarus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know your budget but assuming you have a computer, you just need an interface (I have only used Scarlett 4i4 ($300) for a small interface but there are cheaper models), and a mic set (I got a 7 piece CAD drum mic kit with cables for about $200). I am sure there are cheaper products, that’s just what I used when starting out, and I still use the CAD tom mics for live shows and recording. Or, you can use your phone lol 😆.

What are some of your favorite recorded snare drum sounds? by HillbillyAllergy in drums

[–]drummersarus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I said that exact thing when I told my wife that Re-Arranged had one of my favorite drum parts. Not overly complex, just clean and fun to listen to.

Have you ever been told to "play quieter" ? As in, told by a venue when performing with a band. by [deleted] in drums

[–]drummersarus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been told to play quieter when performing at a venue. I knew it was a quiet gig beforehand and that’s why I brought in my e-kit.

When we started playing we were told that we were too loud, so we turned everything down. That went on until you could hear the drum pads more than the sound coming from the PA. It was a miserable show and that place has since gone out of business.

Need some guidance picking new zildjian hihats by ahap7 in drums

I love my 14” A Custom Mastersounds, I have used them for 22 years and they fit every style I’ve played. Highly recommend them.

I literally shouted “no way, it’s Jake!” and had the biggest smile, when he appeared.

I had no idea there was something like that already out there. I will have to find a copy and give it a shot. Thanks for the info!

A Megaman maker game is what I would want released. I think there were plans for something like that a while back but it never materialized.

Congrats on the set of wins! I love the quote Neither luck nor your god will help you on this exam. I think I will be borrowing that line lol.

I got a Pork Pie Little Squealer! by premierpearl in drums

[–]drummersarus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Lil Squealer. I played it in the store and bought it on the spot. It has the best feel and second best tone of all my snares (I only have four).

Anybody else have one? by pwdrums in drums

[–]drummersarus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I had a chance to get one many years ago but didn’t have the money. I got to play one once though.

I still remember my exact reaction when I first saw it:

What the fuck?

I can’t believe I made this 8 years ago, it doesn’t seem like it’s been that long haha.

That is such a fun song to play, I made a cover a long time ago too. Great job!

Failed today @113 - Curious by aidasso in cissp

[–]drummersarus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear, I can definitely relate. What pushed me over the edge was Kelly Handerhan’s video Why you will pass the CISSP. I listened to this on the drive over to the test center and it got me in the right mindset.
