ever accidentally start playing your drums while your cat is taking a nap inside? xD

+Jacob Elsea They actually have a video demoing all of Evans kick drum heads with close and room micing..

Do you have any special recommendations for tuning silent stroke heads on the bass drum?

But is the cameras microphone even what you'd hear if you were in the room?

Larry Tate depends on the camera mics frequency response

Jacob Elsea just a suggestion, you should shut your fucking mouth.

lol like you?

+Rhythmista Yes,I imagine Jared always plays in a miked up situation; but I still couldn't believe how much stuff he had in his bass drum!

drum itfy Yes. It is a very pre-EQ'ed sound which seems to be the standard in the industry these days, and of the last 4 decades or so. I will do the same on occasion, or whenever it's required for the musical situation i'm in at that time..

+Rhythmista So as a tech, you would understand the cross tuning method. I'v seen many videos these days where they tune and tension in a clockwise sequence. I was taught very early to avoid tuning clockwise because it can damage your shells (over time) and tune inaccurately. He's tuning in a clockwise pattern so I was curious on your thoughts.

elmercorn Tuning a drum can get tricky at times, and is mostly subjective.. I use my own personal method having observed both drum techs and drummers, and ended up with my own distinct tuning method.. Even as a tech you're never too experienced to learn a more efficient method of tuning a drum. When i said that i go counter clockwise, i mean direction, consistently going that way but tensioning each lug at every opposite side, NOT every following lug , so i'm actually going top lug/bottom lug, second lug clockwise, opposite bottom lug, and so on.. Also, when i do this, i flip the drum over and repeat the same thing at the same time, following it's top lug counterpart (hope that makes sense to you ;)) This gives a totally even tension all throughout the drum, and then when both sides are evenly tuned, i crank the bottom head with a few half turns to have the bottom slightly tighter than the top head, which is the standard method. Once that's done, i place the drum flat on a hard, or soft muffled surface (this helps in cutting out any unwanted sound and you can clearly hear the overtones of the drum) then proceed to fine tune any lugs that are higher or lower in pitch to and even tuning all around the drum.. Great results.. Hope this helps ;)

Lol douche bag

he has a deal w/ evans if you didn't know

One more for superkick. it's the bass you can feel in your butt

+Julian Boyd I would like to second this motion

+Julian Boyd looks like ima have to this try out, coated or clear?

+Jay Z Coated has a slightly warmer sound and less attack, clear is sharper and has more ;bite;. That's my experience with the single headed models. Never tried the twin headed ones; thought they might be a bit overkill!

Me to

Same

or "Get a .50 cal bullet past TSA on a domestic flight..."

My whole kit was $ 500.00

So damn expensive!!!!!!!!

I've seen floor toms on their own go for over £600. That's fucking madness

@@St_Mindless get what you pay for...besides a straight up rip-off price, you will be a better musician with THE best drums ( read most expensive

Sheet info please. Thread count ? Twin or Full ?

Most likely to keep the rim from warping.

No that would cause warping in a lesser kit. as the other guy said he's got the right idea. Chk out Bonzolium Drum YT Chn. This dude is a mad player that has lots of drums & is very good & funny he did a great drum head changing tuning video that is worth watching showing why you turn in a pattern that hold the head straight down like a car wheel when you have a flat you don't go in a circle its a criss cross pattern or you wheel won't seat flush on the wheel mount = loss of wheel & wreck. 8 lug do a Star pattern 12 lug do a Square pattern oh & seat the Heads too. That's common sense also Bozolium chn he shows te wrinkles where you can see the head being in a bind by sight as well tuning in a circle pattern is going to bind the heads & they won't last as long i.e. hold their tone. = less life more $$$. Same w.Gtr Strings you gotta stretch them seat them don't twist the strings use the right amount of wraps all determines the life & tone of the strings Bass strings are expensive. He can afford to change heads but many can't so unless you have lots of cash or endorsed by a head co. It would serve you to tune the optimum way. The end result is the same maybe like 9i said a lesser kit w/cheap die cast pot metal rings they will warp.

Watchman4u I didn't know that, thanks dude.

Kbuzby19 I thought tuning in a cross pattern was supposed to prevent warping.

Josh Wheatstone it does.

BOI

Lol douche bag

I think he was bullied at school

Ozzy Osbourne why?

shut up, douche

You first.

+Adam S ...What?

corey wicks nobody wants to play college jazz tbh

Hola. Puedes hablar bien ingles o un poco, si se puede preguntar? Soy de Estados Unidos y puedo hablar bien el espanol, pero no entiendo el espanol cuando la gente hablan rapidamente en los videos. Necesito el subtito en ingles. Entiendo la dificultad.
