Super awesome man! Love the sound!

Thanks for this video! Is it possible to tune the snare with the gibraltar ones on?

Thanks, man. I tired of searching for videos for recommendations on cymbals to only find super high end, well produced videos from people who are just trying to sell you the cymbals they have in stock or have affiliate links to go purchase. I trust this method much more, so thanks again. Follow up question for you; could you break down the durability of different cymbal types?.. I had a bunch of great Sabians that sounded great, HHX evolutions, and after I started playing with a heavier style, I ended up ruining my 24" HH china and 14" Evolution china's and those are not cheap. is this just a problem with thinner cymbals and that's just the sacrifice you get or are their other brands that hold up better etc.. curious on your thoughts there.. thank you in advance. Subbed.

✌🏼✌🏼

Great tips man! Thanks! Love the cross on the whiteboard too!

I used to practice rush songs for ever but i set up a left hand ride cymbal, and played alot of the figures with my left leading, also played alot of bass drum figures with my left pedal foot and played all Neil's fills as double strokes. Now i can play equally well with any limb. Singles, doubles and triples are really strong with both hands. Make practice fun and mix it up.

I think is easier and cheaper to enclose and soundproof the drum set in a smaller space, inside that room. Because even if you spend money on closing the windows and doors, the roof and floor of the entire space aren't sound proof.

Interesting vid man! Little tip from my experience it’s all about weight, as in the heavier the sheets/pads/seals etc the more isolated your sound will be, doesn’t matter what kind of crazy tech some company can sell, to me, if it’s light it’s shite 😁

Sounds so smooth it’s like butter 🧈

A drummer with Evan as a first name😉😎 great video

Dude nice! I can tell this was a fun video to film. Great beats too, some almost have a rap feel too them.

Very helpful, I’m struggle Zildjian a custom or zildjian s dark and k custom 😢,

I'm probably wrong for this, but I try to muscle my doubles out when I feel I have to (especially on the tom drums........that _blasted_ floor tom, smh; it's like striking molasses 😒). I do usually succeed with the rebounding technique, but I feel muscling them through gives me more control and beef with the double strokes, without the question of "Did I catch the rebound right?" I'm a fan of Moeller (I recently learned that I didn't do it as correctly as I thought I did.......but I'm still a fan, because it makes technique simpler). I just viewed a double stroke as two taps and went to town with it. 😅 Then eventually, I got my rebound game up.

Oooooooh, you got the rudiments cards?!?!?? A man of CULTURE!!!! I love to see it!!! EDIT: Also............nice edits. Lol. *Rimshot*

Frankly, I still have exploring to do, but I decided to default to 5A (specifically 5A Nylon) because I'm a basic bitch who can't tell the difference unless it's obvious (like 2Bs bringing the wrath of GOD down onto the drums, and being _stoopid_ loud as a result). Unrelated note, when I tried 7As, I thought they would bring my volume down for free........I was wrong.......... _DEAD_ wrong. Lol. Back to the main plot, I did research, heard that 5As were good for literally everything, took the internet's word for it, and locked into 5As _HARD._ And they just worked for me and allowed me to access the range of soft to loud (which I needed for church, because sometimes you gotta drive and sometimes you gotta ease up). I was always heavy-handed, so I didn't need much help playing loud. 5As gave me what I needed, I got used to them, and I haven't had the need to upgrade. Especially if I couldn't really tell the difference between the two from where I stood. Lol. The only things I grew to desire specifically were (1) nylon tips to brighten up the cymbals and enhance my touch on them, and (2) Vic Firth sticks because that american flag on the fulcrum makes life SO much easier.

sounds kinda like II

Great vid man! The fulcrum exercise was helpful. Double strokes were always hard. Felt like I could only do it by awkwardly pinching the sticks on the sides and doing a “drumroll.”

Very cool

Thanks man! I love it, I feel like the more I learn the more I realize I don’t know! Appreciate it! Keep it coming!! 💪🏻

hell yes pls

I'm about 1 year into learning. Soooo yeah, I've never really worked on rudiments yet. Oops. Maybe I should start.

I think the delayed one should be called a cymbal guillotine.

What is the black big thing that screws around above the foot pedal

That was beautiful man! Great song and great job!!! 💣 😎

Man, I wish we could get together.

Nice job Evan! The vocals sound great to me. I am not familiar with the song, but it sounds solid. Drums always good. 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

At 65 and a long time guitar player, I bought an electronic kit in 2020 for guests in my small studio/rehearsal space. I hacked around myself when no one was around; maybe 40-50 hours in three years. Bought an acoustic kit for myself in April '24 and learned to tune and set them up properly. Seven months later, at 69, I play 90-120 minutes average daily, using Air Pod Pros 2 and ear muff protection with tunes streaming from my phone. So much fun.

Go get’em!!

What instrument is that??

20" with a slightly smaller port hole works for me!

All good points. I would add that for shorter drummers (like myself at 5' 2") a smaller bass drum allows for more ergonomic setups as any toms above the bass drum can be placed lower. Low end can be picked up/adjusted with head choice, muffling, mics. I love the sound of a bigger kick, for sure, but it's just not really feasible for me unless I keep my setup kind of offset or my toms at ridiculous angles. I have a 22" now but I would trade it in a heartbeat for a matching 20". Oh, and Hi, Spagz!

I still want a 26/14/16/18! But no space. I tried an 18 and not for me, except for jazz. Which I just don't play enough, so I sold it. I tried a 20. I liked it, but didn't love it. Went back to 22. I would love to get a 24 though. That seems like the perfect size for hard rock. Never played one. I do find I much prefer the shallower kicks like 22x16 or 22x14. The beater plays better, and I hear more punch and attack.

my next question is how does it affect a rim shot tone for the snare? is the 5A's gonna have more crack/pop tone or the other way around? the reason is, im playing at a church with modern liturgy where the song genres could vary from ballads to latin to dangdut in a session of sunday service. my snare is gretsch 10 ply all maple 6.5x14, changed the batter head with aquarian focus-x so i dont use any dampening / gels because no overtone ring. I tune my snare medium-high. bringing more than one snare is not an option (it could make a scene at church lol), so i also bought a standard BFSD to make the snare low tone. i want to explore more about having different sizes of sticks, if it will make a lot of difference. cz now i only got 7A sizes, it just feels right in my hand, all are promarks rebound balance with diff types (firegrain, activegrip and original; these 3 do make different tone out of snares and cymbals especially, been using them for years). What i haven't figure out how to make a crack/pop funk-ish snare tone, without tuning the snare way too high (thus sacrificing versatility for other songs), wonder if stick sizes (or if you have any other opinion) could lift it up a little bit.

Hiya, just some constructive feedback for ya: 😊 Maybe it would be better if you showed the viewers how to play the paradiddles with a close up view of the hands at 60 bpm.

Paradiddles *💨 💩* 🤣😂

Sounds awesome!

I’m guessing 48 wood shavings 😂

Kicking ass while staying relaxed, love it

Both sound great. Are they tuned exactly to the same pitch? The 6.5 seems to be tuned lower than the 5.5.

From my time in punk bands I've learned the actual answer: turn up the guitar amps!

I have 1 volume and that's loud. I'm working on ghost notes right now. I'm playing on an ekit. It feels like I'm barely tapping those ghost notes but it's still kinda loud through my headphones. I'm sure I could change the trigger settings and whatnot but for now I'm just going to leave it until I get to a regular acoustic snare and then see how quiet they actually are. They are probably loud haha.

Your videos are so helpful as a beginner drummer :D Thank you! Keep it up :D

As committed as I am to the Four Piece Theory, the floor tom is where it’s at.

I feel like I’m going to go on a safari when I hear those kinda drums

I used to play 7A sticks for all styles but the power/volume just wasn't there for full band/pub rock gigs but perfect for small jazz gigs. I now use 5a maple mainly for everything but sticks are just tools, pick the right one for the job.

I like the lofi type stuff in the back, reminds me of the song weightless

Play to the song. What the song needs.
