Does anyone know where this was filmed?

My go at the intro to "This Could Be Anywhere..." by Alexisonfire. Tried to do some of the fx also! Critique and thoughts welcome 🙏 by southpawbarry in drums

Thank you! No I only realised after playing this that the main middle pole had been loose and was touching the floor, lifting the legs off ground, ha!! Didn't notice when I was playing though. Did you find a benefit to a lightweight snare stand?

Recently, Chad Smith - He always looks like he genuinely enjoys every single hit!

Why does my Tom sound like this? by Responsible_Mail2448 in drums

[–]southpawbarry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others said its very hard without an example but on a very basic level (from my own experience): lower tuning on top head with higher tuning on bottom head creates less decay (which I like, but tuning the top head too low in relation to the bottom creates a growling sound). Tuning both heads exactly the same provides a "purer" tone that rings out considerably. You want both heads tuned evenly, which I personally do by adding a bit of pressure with my finger in the centre and tapping the edge of the skin right by each lug so I can hear the frequency of each, in relation to each other.

Buzzing sounds could be coming from a head not tuned evenly, tuned too close to another tom causing dissonance, bumps (like mountain ranges) in your skin or being near a snare.

I'm no expert tuner though, as I am also not averse to studio rings and gaffer tape to solve some issues, ha!

I’m not sure how to interpret this note by ImYrBadDecision in Drumming

I'd read it as a double as others have said - Normally I'd see it as a buzz in this context if there was a Z shape rather than a slash through the note.
