I know nothing about the band, but I play with my snare drum at the same angle, but a bit lower and further forward. The reason for me is that it allows me to have the snare in a low position so I can really lord over it. The tilt makes the stick impact more natural and comfortable- rather than coming down on a flat snare at a weird angle, for instance. It's hard to explain but basically, it's super comfy and looks cool as fuck.
@whospatrick mike's biggest drumming influence was from a jazz drummer names buddy rich. he's one of the greets drummers of all time. buddy was known for slightly tilting his snare forward. it's also all about comfort i till my snare forward cuz my arms are kind of long so it helps and feels more comfortable
@MaryDarkness100 Yeah, I didn't knew that all members were mexicans, Iam mexican and I'm proud of it. So I see it cool that this dudes show how they're proud to be mexicans, Also I was born the same day as Virgen Maria's Birthday. Thats why I see it so awezome that Mike uses a Lady Maria drum! I like em' more.
@dpocket360 OMAM's drummer does that too?? I started doing it cuz Mike's my hero, and it's actually working to my drumming style's advantage. I didn't know OMAM did that too tho.
@whospatrick because thats how he learned from his dad, plus thats the old school way of how to play a snare, hahaha i dont mean to give a drum lesson hahaha XD but the traditional way of holding a drum stick makes it hard to play a snare when its flat, so snare players (that had the harness on) played with the snare tilted forward to better fit the way they hold the drum stick, i hope that helped a little XD hahaha sorry for the long comment
@papersailsTX Ever taken into consideration he's about 6 feet tall? Im 6'2 and sitting on a drum throne that's almost at the floor is rather uncomfortable. It's all about preferences , yea?
@whospatrick i have no idea. i thinks its just how he likes the snare to be like that cause some drummers dont like hitting the snare flat. alex lopez of suicide silence hits his snare super angled towards him idk tho
cymbal. a symbol is defined as a thing that represents or stands for something else, esp. a material object representing something abstract. a CYMBAL is well you get it. >.
