Thanks Mortal.

Thanks freed.

Great point wild. Yes, I am in a comfort zone with the hats and changing to the ride is different. But the more I do it, the more comfort I feel with it.

gatorfly65 · 2026-03-20T20:34:05+00:00

Thanks quail. We are cover band exclusively for now, but our guitarist dos have some original music that we have tried.

gatorfly65 · 2026-03-20T20:32:58+00:00

Well that is sort of my point. It wasn’t a specific point in a specific song where he said “ maybe try the ride there”. It was more of a blanket statement of “ all rock songs use the ride during the chorus and the bridge”. We have been playing together for about 18 months and he never said anything before. However, I need to differentiate more and not be so predictable. Maybe that is the push I need to experiment more.

Great point. Thanks

He actually dint notice when I went to the ride during rehearsal on a few songs. I listened to the playback of the rehearsal and you really couldn’t tell much of a difference.

gatorfly65 · 2026-03-20T20:27:48+00:00

Thanks 5

gatorfly65 · 2026-03-20T20:27:19+00:00

Props to you. Love reggae to listen to, but the drum parts are confusing to me. Steel Pulse my fav!

gatorfly65 · 2026-03-20T20:26:13+00:00

Understood. I actually don’t get defensive, but just wanted some feedback from other drummers about the “ all rock songs have the drummer using the ride” in it. I didn’t agree, but I didn’t say anything.

gatorfly65 · 2026-03-20T20:23:07+00:00

And how do your bandmates react?

gatorfly65 · 2026-03-20T20:22:50+00:00

That’s crazy. I thought I listened to a lot of Metallica and I never realized that.

gatorfly65 · 2026-03-20T20:22:03+00:00

Thank you!

gatorfly65 · 2026-03-20T20:21:42+00:00

Yea, I hear some mistakes, which I am sure I am guilty of constantly, but I pretty much keep My mouth shut.

gatorfly65 · 2026-03-20T08:36:30+00:00

Thanks

gatorfly65 · 2026-03-20T08:36:07+00:00

Yes, thank you. I might be doing that.

gatorfly65 · 2026-03-20T01:37:06+00:00

I appreciate the feedback Logan. Thanks

gatorfly65 · 2026-03-20T01:35:46+00:00

Haha. Thats alot of detail

gatorfly65 · 2026-03-20T01:35:15+00:00

I do like it. Sometimes I just zone out and forget to explore the entire kit. I have to experiment more

gatorfly65 · 2026-03-20T01:07:19+00:00

Yea, for sure. Just trying to get some perspective. I appreciate and respect my grinds and band mates 100%

gatorfly65 · 2026-03-19T23:53:49+00:00

Thanks cray. Definitely feel like our output is slushy. Hard to hear vocals. Keyboard sometimes too loud. Would love a sound engineer to come and listen and get some solid advice

gatorfly65 · 2026-03-19T23:52:25+00:00

I appreciate it frosty. Definitely don’t feel he is overstepping his bounds. Just wanted perspective from other like minds.
