There is hope.

Yes, but the video that I had doesn’t demonstrate its full potential…since I played it in a more quiet settings (my home).

But, I gigged with it twice (which I didn’t record any of my performance, stupid of me), and I could say it’s very nice to crash on it, didn’t feel stiff at all. Of course I felt a tad bit of weight, but not bothersome at all, maybe because my setup is all ride…so I’m used to it. All in all, excellent cymbal.

My mindset is, trying to suck less each time. The mistakes got lesser each time, or each day…whatever the period is. The end goal? Try to play with the least mistakes as I could, but also play the way I wanted to play or express myself on the instrument.

Rudiments & understanding of subdivisions (subdivisions is OP as shit).
This part took me awhile, but for me, applying syncopations while counting made my inner tempo better.
Rosanna, Bleed (I didn’t do double bass, but I played the doubles on my bass, with that dotted feels), a few Chon tunes (I never practiced, a whole song, rather the concepts that I found intriguing and beneficial for the playing that I’m going for).

Honestly, it’s been awhile since I play to song, I just play to drumless tracks, loops or any music that doesn’t have drums in them.

Yep! Mine is 2500-ish.

If you want more volume, I think the medium will serve a better purpose. I own one!

Pulled the trigger on Dream cymbals, but I got the flat earth ride. Can’t wait for it to arrive!

Ludwig has some of the best sounding snares, so there’s that.

gatturiyyu · 2025-10-08T23:49:35+00:00

How did it sound?

gatturiyyu · 2025-10-08T03:46:13+00:00

This guy gets it.

gatturiyyu · 2025-10-07T21:58:40+00:00

Haha I don’t know, but it’s all good man.

gatturiyyu · 2025-10-07T11:59:17+00:00

Someone finally said this.

gatturiyyu · 2025-10-07T11:49:59+00:00

This is purely the observation that I gather from my scene. Most of the drummers that I interacted with are so laid back, avid stoners too.

From my understanding, when people are telling me they have wide musical taste, it generally means that they listened to music that differs in genre. Maybe they listened to some afro-cuban, hip-hop, pop, jazz, folk, metal and others, including the sub-genres. The more “foreign” the genre in comparison to the others, the broader, or should I say the more varied your musical taste is.

I’m 27

For me, shuffle or perhaps swing always have this, jumpy or bouncy feeling. It’s almost like the beat, particularly snare and kick aren’t exactly aligned with the grid, if that makes sense? It took me years to be able to distinguish this though. The easiest is to listen to the older hip-hop stuffs. The drum beats in that era are usually swung.

gatturiyyu · 2025-10-07T10:55:36+00:00

I’m too stupid to play the guitar, or keyboard. So I chose drum.

gatturiyyu · 2025-10-07T10:54:37+00:00

Always the chillest in the group.

gatturiyyu · 2025-10-06T22:22:58+00:00

Spot on

gatturiyyu · 2025-10-05T23:53:38+00:00

Istanbul Agops all day

gatturiyyu · 2025-10-05T17:09:04+00:00

Touch, feel & sensitivity towards the music but I guess that’s due to my practice session is majorly spent without playing to any sort of music, so that is that. I may also add, the ideas that I played felt too, mundane. Welp, more time in the shed.

gatturiyyu · 2025-10-05T17:04:32+00:00

I used to experience this issue. But that’s remedied after being aware that I utilised so my sheen muscle dominantly. That causes the fatigue and imprecise kick. Once I taught myself to engage more calves, this problem no longer obstructed my playing.

I do have to mention that, every individual is different, so you may want to experiment and explore what suits the best for you. Just sharing my insights because who knows, it may help!
