@@joew717 i would only do that for the travel to get to the tour and afterwards you drive around with the bus anyways. But for sure it’s a bad idea to throw wet stage clothes in your snare!
Around 2012 in Germany, Leipzig/Halle airport, the person working at the security called the guards because I placed my hihat stand inside something and they accused me of trying to hide some “weird metal object”. 😂😂😂 and they also made me empty my seccond backpack that I meticulously packed to fit everything in it, because of a drum key... A DRUM KEY! Because again, “it’s hidden inside of many things and it’s a metal object.” 😂😂😂
My band's drummer was stopped at Kyiv Zhuliany airport for the double bass pedal shaft, carefully packed in lots of clothes whatsoever. Luckily, I'm a frequent flyer and I knew the ICAO directive by which that security representative could go breathe outside :D
@@PerkeleKeyboardist they will always look for something. They never like my small mic in my hand luggage. Somehow it looks like a pistol for them. Don’t ask me why...
@@KRIMHDrummer yeah, we all know it's a theater. Although, funny moments also happen. The other time, the same airport, a security lady didn't understand two IEM receivers in my backpack and asked other guy to take a look, and he turned out to be a hobby musician, so he completely forgot about his work and had like a dozen of questions about playing with IEMs :D
Krimh i know all your story how you start on the drum and i am like you now because i don't have a studio and many to by a drum BUT THE DRUM IS MY DREAM AND I NEVER STOP FOLLOW MY DREAM BIG FUN AND SO MUCH RESPECT FOR YOU AND LOVE KEEP ROCKING MAN ❤️🤟🥁💨
Very useful! I will definitely use your tips on filling empty space in cases. And yes, it's time for another pair of shoes on the road! I should have thought of that before taking stinky shoes on the bus 😅
Goodness you poor dear. Looks like you have everything but the kitchen sink.🥺 I really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a fantastic day!🌹
This actually so helpful!! I’ve been thinking about using a pelican for pedals and snare but wasn’t sure with the hard cases for each of them. Thank you so much!
Great advice on the cymbal case with all the extra things. I never really thought about why some drummers don't give out sticks as much as others, so this makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the cool video and a small look inside your personal life as a musician on the road. Take it easy and try and stay safe out there buddy live shows are coming soon I hope 🤘🤘
Thank you for sharing that knowledge based on huge experience! Definitely once we start touring with aircraft, all things should be planned much more careful instead of touring with bus
Could you tell us what sticks you are using on tour ? The next time I'll see SF on tour, i will change one of your after show stick for a brand new kit. Even if I can't get one, I'll be proud to know you will probably play with a kit I brought to you few days ago.
Good 👍👍...I'm do the same when I starting to a tour...I try to found al hole to push al what me need...but when I can give you one tip try to found place for more sticks, because fan's it's always happy tho take a sticks a have a remember from you and from the show... I'm for example take always whit me old drumheads, after show I'm do my signature and present this, you don't can imagine how happy the fan's and maybe remember you and your band always when looks the wool where the skin with your signature hangs 😉😉
Wow so the baby powder thing I have actually been doing as well.l.but not with baby poweder. One time I was playing a little “show” for some friends in a basement where people were smoking, drinking, etc etc. I was still a smoker myself at the time and used to smoke whilst playing... anyways I was having issues with my left foot sticking to my slave pedal of my demon drives for a good while and was getting frustrated as all hell, but at one point I took my foot off the pedal and accidentally stepped on a bunch of fresh ashes that had fallen off my cigarette and when I went to play with my left foot again it literally slipped all the way off the other side of the pedal and was almost TOO slippery! From then on anytime I had issues with my shoes being sticky I would just purposely step on a bit of cigarette ash and then my feet would be FLYING hahahah! I guess it works the same way as the baby powder!
This story sounds very familiar to me. During my first practice sessions with Decapitated I had very sticky shoes and it was really difficult to control the swivel technique. So I stepped down on the carpet which was really dusty and dirty. This dirt gave the perfect slippery surface so I figured I could use a different kind of fine material which simulates this effect. That’s how I came up with baby powder. Great to see others have similar experiences. ;)
What a great video. Copy paste this for my tour, thanks Krimh. If you go cymbal-lite.. I have a feeling you can get away with Peli air case + cymbals if you use only 20" (at most 21") cymbal case. You can go ride/crash/crash (9kg)... hi-hats in the peli case.. and get the cymbals onto overhead luggage (max 21 inches in overhead).
@krimh drummer. You probably already know this but if you run out of baby powder just take a spare sock and put it on over your shoes. Works to keep it nice and slippery...also ideal if your hiking up a frozen mountain and don't have she spikes.
Man, tell about the equipment, what it is, how do you connect it (audio card, laptop), what software, what samples. How is it all set up. There is simply no such material from a touring musician, and this, as I have already seen many times, is a very important aspect of the tour and every time there is something new / something wrong ...
Love this video.What about one on the pieces you'll rent for the show ? (Provider, process, ...) and also, in what situation afe you going to share a drumkit and how do you adapt to the drumkit of somebody else for example ?
Here is a small bit of advice, you can use semi-inflated balloons with helium in your bags it'll help with taking some of the weight off and you can use it as packing material so things don't shift and get broken. I hope this helps a little bit maybe you can use this on a future plane trip 👍👍
WOW truly interesting vlog, Krimh. Never saw something like this before. I knew the vast majority of drummers simply can't take with them the entire drums set with them while touring, but i wonder if the parts you find in tour and festivals are quite good enough to simply forget about it...or you'r a little pissed cuz you feel the quality is, i dont wanna say lower....just not high enough as you and the band expected. Also......for the live with orchestra in Mexico, you had the possibility to bring there your personal drums or it was just like any tour with just some parts from your drumkit ??
Hi! Can you tell me the model of that skb cymbal case? I’m considering one but they usually claim that it holds up to 7 cymbals only. Sometimes I really need more. Awesome video btw! 🙂
hey krimh! question! why do you use the DecaBox system? Since there are other more compact dmx interfaces, why do you use this one specifically? greetings from Mexico!
Amazing information since not everyone can be like Mike Portnoy and have identical drum kits made and put in storage units across the US, Europe, and Asia 😂😂 Oh to be that blessed one day.....😂
Is this case the peli_1535_air_carry_on_no_foam you can find on thomman? Im looking to buy one for the pedals and snare just like u did on this video. If you could give me the exact model I'd very much apreciate it, because I will be ordering online and can't try to fit them in the case before I buy it. Thanks!!
