I’ve played the drums for over 25 years, including experience live and in the studio across several different genres of backbeat music, plus a degree in Drum and Percussion Performance from McNally Smith School of Music.
These days I’m focused on three things - building my home recording studio, releasing The 10/8 Drum Method instructional book, and completing an album featuring some of the grooves and styles from that instructional book. Stay tuned here for updates on all the aspects of these projects and of course all of the finished products!
well if you have an audio interface than -10db will overpower the sub and it will pop and even shut down depending on interface like my SSL2 is too powerful so -10db at high volume always have that effect one thing to note is that if you have this sub than to use +4db on sub but speakers that you use from this sub should be put at -10db otherwise they will be more quite since sub amp correctly uses power from interface at +4db you dont have to do that to speaker and just set at -10db
I use it for gigs and face some trouble with my light 13” hats as it fails sometimes when opening them. What could be the issue as it can be adjusted 😅
@@DirtyBandana nice - you see quite a lot of hating on the D112 in forums etc, a video showing how you get the best from it and maybe it vs other options in that useage might be of value to the keyboard warrior battles... :)
I would say this is not the best microphone for voice, there are a lot of better options. Sorry, I don't have the studio setup right now to demonstrate.
honestly im convinced that all these stands are great for just about any style of gig, not just light jazz. ive owned the whole set for a few years now and backlined my drums on many gigs and they've taken all the abuse from hard hitters with no problem. they're light but also very rugged.
Whoa, no swivel? That could be a problem for me, and I don't even play a double pedal. But I really do want to cut down the hi-hat weight. I guess I could go to the studio, reset my hi-hat stand to the fixed position and see if I can get it to fit as is.
I have the tall, vocal mic/boom version of this stand. It's easily 12-14 years old and has held up extremely well. I've seen so many cheap mic stands fail, and believe this brand of stands are well worth the extra cost. For a kick drum, extending the boom far enough to reach inside a kick drum with a hefty microphone, I think this stand is a great option. I just ordered one and expect it to be as great as my tall vocal mic version.
yo guys can someone help me out so i got this exact bass head and i put it on and everything, tightened all the edges yk, but then when i went to play it, there is almost no sound coming out at all… like literally nothing. what should i do
Okay, when I get mine set and try to clamp the bass pedal on it lifts the legs of the entire kit off of the floor and if course it's all wobbly then. Can you show or explain how to accomplish this... anyone? I've tried every way I can think of to adjust but no success. Help!? Thank you.
A whole book on quintuplets ... that's really out of left field! I'm into quintuplets but mainly as 16th / 32nd note fills. Give a try and putting one of those into a 4/4 groove some time, or 9/8, 17 .. whatever
A dodge I’ve come across to improve tone is to use masking tape / low tack painter’s tape. Using a three to four inch wide tape put a strip on the batter (mesh) head running to one side of centre, such as from 2 o’clock to 5 o’clock. This really improves the tone and the volume stays quiet. You can experiment with adding more. In effect you’ve got a strip of “normal” head sending a pulse to bounce the resonant head. To avoid the glue making a mess, I’d suggest removing the tape fairly routinely and definitely if storing the drums for a while.
