This is How Much Quieter a Practice Kit Can Be 

Hey Nestor, I also have the silent stokes - do you tune them just the same as standard heads?

@@andrewbell3476 Depends of what kind of rims you have. For me, they sound better with low tension instead of high. Try yourself.

Just Jake right? almost sounds electronic. So smacky. Definitely could have uses other than just being quiet

Sounds perfect for sampling :)

Probably cause they vibrate the floor and it acts as a bit of a resonant chamber

Ikr i want that exact sound as a reverb plug in on ableton lol

@@senoreverything6366 ask Stephen to give you a 1 shot of his snare and then use a convolution reverb Plugin to make it into a reverb :D IR verbs are fun!

Not Relevant not relevant

same story

because

Guylum Alfaro ow

Arent u an MMA fan lol

Same 😂

Then start it :D

not particularly

nah man, 3db is around half already

@@jjdiy 3dB is half power, but it's not half amplitude, and probably not half loudness either, which is debatably anywhere between 3 and 10dB, depending on who you ask.

I'd recommend checking your local craigslist, FB marketplace, etc, as you'll often find decent used entry level setups for like $100. It's really, really helpful to have a kick pedal and hi-hat stand at the least (hard to home-make decent versions). Or maybe you could do like I did for the first few months I was learning: Sit on the floor with your right leg extended. Big ol' cardboard box for a bass drum that I kicked with the ball of my right foot, whacking sideways (foot raised a bit on some pillows to hit more of the center of the box). Cheap-as tambourine with some damping/wires on the head, and resting on a cardboard resonator box, to mimic a snare. More boxes for toms. And piles of metal wire shelving squares (like 1-foot square, the type you can build modular cube storage things out of) as kind of cymbal-ish sounds. I was also semi-successful making a little hi-hat "stand" that I could control the tension on by pulling down on wires with my left foot (left leg bent to make a "4" with my right leg). "Kick" and "snare" weren't bad sounding, "cymbals" definitely left something to be desired. I'm sure there are better homemade solutions if that's what you're after, but this setup served me pretty well and was fun to play and learn on until I got my first kit (full sized, with brass cymbals and some hardware, for $80 - and I sold miscellaneous extra drums/parts that came with it to make that money back right away anyway!) So yeah, buying a kit can be very inexpensive, but there are also other options, especially for the short-term or while you're waiting for a good deal to come up. Hope this was helpful!

dont even try it

just get the questlove pocket kit get their less than $300 and they sound good

Adam pazaz I have one. You still need to have dampening underneath for the high hat pedal and kick drum because there still is that stomping sound.

He has video that compares them...searching for it.

Sam GW no, underestimated. RU-vid underestimated the view count, and put it to what it assumed.

Nighthawk it sounds like you’re just talking about triggers + mesh heads. Affordable and decent solution.

Probably just because the floor soaks up some of the sound. 🤔

I have both ride & hats, the L80 sounds "better" to me, less harsh sounding that the quiet tones. Big plus for quiet tone ride is the bell sound which is much more defined/loud that on the L80 20" ride, but except that, I'll go for L80. If you look for better sounding cymbals (but really louder than L80), check Agean natural R / Jazz R series on drumtec channel for example !

@@philipPF thanks for the reply! That's very good info, thanks man

I do. I also use k hh bottom lv hh top works great

Zildjian custom dark

Try it.

yes

Alvarez TV was? What happened to his neck after this?

they only remove around 8 dB or smth

It's the fox! r/woooosh
