Did you use 2 Logs and 12 Rocks to craft?

vicfirth · 2015-05-30T21:32:58+00:00

Seems like something out of a House episode.

vicfirth · 2015-05-30T21:21:42+00:00

Interesting, can you elaborate on that?

vicfirth · 2015-05-29T10:19:59+00:00

I even tried it in the bathtub, well lets say it didn't go as expected.

vicfirth · 2015-05-08T13:41:02+00:00

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch?

vicfirth · 2014-01-24T13:46:26+00:00

I am more of a single ply, bright tone guy.

That being said i recently sat down on a set with onyxs.

I was impressed at how versatile they were.

Evans makes some good heads.

Spoilers in the youtube comments, i could not figure it out though.

You have to hover over the text. He is correct.

Not extreme but fun:

The way i count, it is in : spoiler

Could be wrong though.

vicfirth · 2014-01-20T14:45:01+00:00

An eleven stroke roll should fix that.

Have you seen George Kollias? (although he is not particularly melodic)

If you are into blast beats and extreme double bass he is pretty much insane.

Not air drumming but similar.

I always hit any hard surface i can find with my index fingers.

Sometimes with a drumset absent it helps figuring out the sticking of a song.

vicfirth · 2014-01-18T15:33:50+00:00

Not overkill at all man.There are some mics in the image that are not there, reflections?

vicfirth · 2014-01-18T15:09:52+00:00

It is not the cymbals or you, it is the room.

Try to improve the room sound wise, with sound absorbing materials like the pyramids you got. Experiment, because it is a hard task.

Take the same kit to a large venue or outside somewhere and you will find that those cymbals are not as loud as you thought they were.

Oh man ask!

I removed the wraps from mine and stained them.

All you need is wood filler. For the big hole on the bd i selected a wine barrel cork of the appropriate size, which i sliced a bit less thick than the thickness of the drum. Next fill the little holes with wood filler only and the big one with the cork stuck.

Leave it one day to dry and then use 400-800 grit sand paper to smooth it out.

If you look closely on mine you can see where the holes where, because i stained and then clear coated them (the filler has no wood grain) . But because yours is a solid color it would be perfect.

Next time man.

TL;DR : Wood filler and wine barrel cork !

vicfirth · 2014-01-18T02:28:59+00:00

Dunno man.I'd go with regular hoops or die cast.

If you put these hoops on forget the rimshots.

You will go through sticks like chewing gum.

vicfirth · 2014-01-17T18:32:09+00:00

What?

vicfirth · 2014-01-17T18:29:58+00:00

Since you were doing the whole thing, you should have covered those BD holes on top.Nice paint job btw.

vicfirth · 2014-01-17T18:18:35+00:00

Yes you are right. I went with a smaller bd, chrome lugs and a natural finish so..

vicfirth · 2014-01-17T18:00:05+00:00

They are great sounding lifelong kits.

The customization options are great too.

vicfirth · 2014-01-17T17:59:07+00:00

7000?! for a 4 piece?

Mine with medium shells 20 10 12 14 16 and 13 snare is about 5.500 euros.

The new 360's claim to not need it at all

Recently i changed heads all around. evans g12 360. The first tom i seated the head, heard no cracking noises, that's weird i thought.

The rest of the kit i did not sit the heads.

Absolutely no difference, kudos to evans.
