I can tell not only did you spend time analyzing his drums and sounds but your posture is very similar plus you sit very close to the kit like he does. Now some cool theatrical faces and you're all set.
It's weird when people mimic the people they idolize... for me personally I think don't you want to have your own style? There are many drummers who inspired me growing up especially Lars but I would never try to make myself look and play exactly like them or him because I am my own person.
@@eldiablo3794 Yeah of course. Everybody has some kind of inspiration that drives them. Most musicians have at least some kind of idol they desperately wanted to be at some point. When I was younger all I wanted to do was play like Dave Grohl. Bought the huge power tom Artstar, hit as hard as I could, grew my hair out. Then progressively I found my own style through mimicking his lol. Mimicking others isn’t a bad thing, it just means you’re trying to find who you are, and you’re trying to learn technique from others
Nice bud! Good to see the young ones carrying in the great music. Not so easy is it? Pisses me off when people knock Lars in his 60s doing this. I want that kit! Rock on man!
TBF Lars was shit in the early 90's. Even Dave Mustaine from Megadeth straight up said ask any decent drummer they'll tell you Lars isn't a good drummer.
@@taylorhession1905 yeah follower. I'm a decent drummer and Lars rules. Eloy Casagrande is if not the best , one of the top 3 metal drummers in the world and he says Lars rules. But let's forget all the he said she said bullshit, and why don't you post a video of you playing any of his music. Better yet , I'll quit playing if you do Dyers Eve since you're so smart. Your name says it all. Lmao.
Matt Bird I’m not a huge fan of the 90s toms sound if I compare it to the newer sound. The newer sound has more attack and definition, which I love. That being said I have thought about trying some clear emperor heads, but not sure if I’ll be doing that any time soon.
That was really good!! i think you you played incredible, but not only that, you got the tuning really near. Would you share the snare and kick tuning please?
Snare 210 on tune bot with bottom head being pretty tight. Kick is supposed to be 45 hz, basically hand tight plus quarter turn on batter and hand tight plus half turn on reso if my memory serves me correctly. Equally important is the center cut hole in the reso and the click pad on the batter head
That kit looks amazing! Nice playin too man. I just started last year so this doubles bass in this song ain't happening yet haha. Shortest straw is as fast as I can go. What heads and bass pedals/hi hat pedal are you using with this kit? Do you rock the felt beaters like Lars does? How's that snare? Thinking of getting on but it's $$$
I'm right there with you on the double bass. I'm in med school so it's really hard to put in the time needed to really get good with double bass. I pretty much went a year without my drums so my double bass hasn't been as good as I want. Songs like Fuel, and Broken, Beat & Scarred are some great songs for double bass practice. Also, no matter how much I have tried, One has been the biggest challenge for me on double bass for some reason. I think it's the burst nature of that double bass that gets me. Heads are pretty much the heads Lars has except for the bass drum batter heads and the resonant heads on the floor toms. Once I get money for them I'll get replacements. Toms: Coated Emperor on the batter and ebony ambassador on the resonant (the floor toms have the stock G1s on them for the reso). Snare: CS dot on top and snare side ambassador on bottom. Bass Drum: Currently Evans EQ4 batter and the stock Tama reso w/ a 7" hole in the center. The pedals are iron cobra 600s w/ spring tension as tight as I can get it w/ a medium/short throw for the beater angle. The hi hat pedal is from my old kit and it's awful. It's from a sound percussion kit. I can't wait until I can get a Tama hi hat pedal. I do have the felt beaters. The snare is amazing. The ring it puts out is awesome. Super heavy, super cool looking, loud, and it sounds great. I love it.
nm112209 nice!! For double bass practice look up drumeo ash Pearson double bass dexterity. He has two cool exercises for control. Ones a paradiddle with a short roll with the feet and the other is a rhythmic pyramid exercise. It helped my control a lot playing the different subdivisions. Control=speed. Just try different rudiments with ur feet at different tempos. If you have limited time to practice that's wut I would do imo if I were you. It just takes time I got the tama 910 speed cobras and they are amazing. I'm playing on a 1999 tama swingstar kit now. I'm rocking the Reno clear emperors on all my tims and Reno cs snare head and I'm happy so far. The kits just old and washers rusty etc. Whenever I get a new kit I want 2 bass drums like ur set up. Tama iron cobra 200 hi hat pedals a good choice and it should be less than $100. I love mine Keep playin Man U got another subscriber. Actually playing drums makes me realize just how hard it is to be a good drummer. But they're so much fun to play. I'll check your other vids but I should play moth into flame if you haven't already.
Hi. Very good Hardwired cover with one of the Tama Starclassic Maple LU limited edition and a Tama (LU1465) 14x6.5 "Steel Snare LU signature. Just like info, if you want to get closer to his sound in the studio, that of HTSD, You have almost the same Drum set (he uses 24 'Bass Drum in the studio but your 22' 'do the trick) and the even Snare. In Live, he uses 80% of Modern, Bright cymbals like the A Custom Projection Crash, ZC1 Dyno-Beat 14 "Hi-Hat (which you have). The Oriental China Trash 18 & 20 '' are rather Dark, its equivalent to China K's. In the studio, he had a Sabian HH 15 '' Medium Hats, K's 17, 18 & 19 '' Thin Crash, his 2 Oriental China Trash 18 & 20 '' but he kept 2 Crash Bright, A Shiny (used series between 95-2000 in the studio and live) 17 '' Medium-Thin and a Custom 19 '' Medium for the Riding Crash mode. When he had a Ride, it was a Brilliant A and then a Custom 20 '' Ping Ride. No need to take Zildjian for this setup, Sabian HH (Vintage, Dark, Hi-Hat & K's Thin Crash), AA (Vintage Bright for A's 17 '' Medium-Thin) & AAX (Modern, Bright for A Custom Medium 19 '' will do the same job and even better for hundreds of dollars less expensive.The Dark are Hand Hammered, give a lukewarm sound, low, cut and complex tones.That is for good faith info to set up a setup cymbals identical to what you hear on the album.
Dylan Janssens Lars plays like shit. James drug and alcohol problem are most assuredly due to having play with such a piece of shit drummer and not being a blue to throw him out of the band. Any drummer thats been playing with dedication for 10 years or more is better than Lars. Lars has NEVER been a good drummer. He got by somehow but he seriously lacks in talent and worse......desire to get better.
That's a so-called "drop clutch", from DW in this case. I use the same to alternate between opened and closed hi-hats when playing stuff with Double Bass where you quickly need to close the hats. Once you step on the hi-hat pedal, it opens again.
If you are true not sarcastic, trust me you are waaaaaayyy better than you think. My idea was that that rhythm is Lars's specialty and it's really cool. What makes it cool is the dynamics. The very first quarter note in the bar (first kick) he plays it louder than the rest. And the rest are singles and doubles. Keep in mind that his position on the drums (he sits too close to the bass drum) make it so that he can't slide his foot on the doubles. And he is not playing push-pull technique either. He literally kicks the foot pedal. So he is not that fast it looks like, but it's the punchy bass drum sound which makes the single footed doubles to sound that fast. In the end this rhythm sounds more lively and natural. Played with a double bass pedal makes it sounds like a drum machine. Take a close look at some of the behind kit video shots on the old, trashy songs. Trust me it's easier than you think. Best of luck :)
I can't say for sure what his kick drum situation is but even with pillows, or batter heads with dampening rings, but tuning bass drums is a massive pain in the dick so, facing the wall reduces the unwanted resonance. Kick drums shouldn't have a long sustain. Hence why people put pillows in them. In rooms like that, even though small, the resonance will bounce off everything and ultimately sounds like shit.
Taylor Howe first you need the dyno beats. Then you need to disengage the clutch and have the hi hat loose on the clutch. You need to have the hi hats level, and you need to have them polished, especially on outer edge of the bottom side of each. The will just glide on each other
He uses a drop clutch. Meaning he can go from being able to open/close the hats with his foot, to just dropping the top hat on the bottom hat (this is what he does most of the time). And if you have the clutch engaged, you just have to hold the hats down so they are touching; just don't put a lot of pressure so they aren't tight against each other.
Sounded great, please do NOT take after Lars if you want to ever be a competent drummer. I see your kit is setup exactly like his, please don't be so pathetic as Lars. Make your own layout man!
