Blake hello brother thanks for the kindness I truly appreciate it
@antonycamilleri1197 hey, brother! No problem at all! As you can see, I've gone from a fractured spine, multiple years in a wheelchair/on canes/walkers to playing drums and walking without assistance! It took a lot of surgeries, medical intervention, and a spinal cord stimulator implant put in to be able to walk again, but it is possible! All things are with God! Hey in there, bro! My email is under my about section, I'll put it below, and don't hesitate to teach out! Good luck with your prognosis and treatments! Take care! Jblaken2002@gmail.com
Tight! Well played. Those dogs are remarkably calm, mine goes crazy when I play 😂
Awesome video, thanks!
Sound great brother growing up I wanted to learn the drums so bad the drums where always my instrument choice‼️👊🏽🤝💪💯🫡
Thanks, brother! I'll teach you if you want! All you need is a pair of sticks and a practice pad to start! 👊
@@blakenunndrums ok 👌🏽 sounds good brother I will look around for some sticks‼️👊🏽🤝🫡🙏Appreciate you🙏🙏🙏
@Grind2ShineTv Checked all my inboxes, and never received an email. I'll even send you a free pair of good sticks, a practice pad, and even mail you a FULL drum set after I assess how interested you are! I gotchu, brother!
@@blakenunndrums ok 👍 that’s Great appreciate you bro I’m ready‼️👊🏽🫡
This sounds great Blake! I hope to start lessons with a new teacher soon!! Keep rockin my friend!✝️🥁
Thanks, Lindsay! Very cool! I hope you enjoy and are still playing worship services! Thanks for stopping by!
@@blakenunndrums I love it! I played last Wednesday! The sound guy told me I sounded great and that he had to turn the drums down! I play really loud when I'm excited!🥁✝️🤘
@@LBD-2021 haha! Yeah, that's the part of playing live and with different engineers, is that you have to be able to change your touch/dynamics on the fly depending on how they mix you. I've had to adjust a bunch to my technique and touch depending on the venue I'm playing in. Most churches have the drummer in a plexiglass cage, too
for me it is good, but you need time to used to it, the thing I wouldn't say I like is that there are many small details that you can lose during the rental life, I already lost one lock ring :( price is high also for me, I expected much more for this money also big weight for this item for me as a rental serviceman another cheap holder much more convenient anyway I didn't know what to buy for my beta 56 microphones, so I tried this one
I will try K&M 24030 next time
Thanks for the video! This was really helpful, I ended up buying one too! Hope it's holding up strong for you brother
@andizlack8666 no problem, my bro! Yep, as strong as the day I made this video! Happy drumming!
@@blakenunndrums Hell yeah! Give those sweet puppers a big hug for me too
@@andizlack8666 ha! Will do!
Cool. What is the tone of each tom?
@@thefrederickcm I just tune then to their natural fundamental of where they like to sit. I'll sometimes do it by an exact note, but the drums will tell you where they like to be naturally if you follow the same tuning method on each drum.
Cool!
Thanks!
Nice jamming🤘🤘🤘
@@3L3V3NDRUMS Thanks! Yeah, for his first time ever doing it, I'd say he did great! 👊
@@blakenunndrums Yes he did!!!🤘🤘🤘
Cool video man🤘🤘🤘Wire tension is always a problem and I hate it if the wire is notable if I hit Tom 1 or Tom 2....
nice! are those mapex sets?
@@sticksbass one is, yeah. Mapex Saturn exotic maple-walnut shells. The one I'm playing on is a Tama Starclassic birch-walnut kit. Then I've got a bunch of various metal and wooden snares with a ton of cymbals. 👊 good eye!
Nice job, Jace!
Thanks for the video! My strainer never fell out. It comes loose while playing. I will redo the snare and let you know how it goes! The cymbals sound so good too! I love the Byzance series! Beautiful selection of cymbals there. I need to get an FX cymbal or new china to replace my broken one.
Gotcha! Yeah, it was hard to troubleshoot exactly what you meant through text, but if you put some lithium grease lube in the housing/threads, that should also help keep them in place. Locktite can work too, but DO NOT use the kind that cures like epoxy! Use the thicker kind that still allows for adjustment, but keeps the threads from loosening while playing from resonance. Yeah, just let me know if you have any questions, but there is definitely a science to the looseness of the straining while mounting wires. Equidistant and mounted at medium tension will give you play in the wires, and they won't be so tight and come loose. You may have your butt plate and throw off/strainer not tightened enough with the lugs that affix the straps, and they might be coming lose as you play because they have too much play where they affix to the strainer and but plate.
Also, if your tension is WAY too tight, that will also cause your strainer to come loose. Know how to solve that besides locktight or lithium grease?? Get a new/better snare! 😂 jk
@@blakenunndrums No you're absolutely right I do need a new snare. This throw off gets stuck and doesn't work correctly lol
@@OneMoreDab762 lithium grease can fix that issue tho too
Blake, which brand is the throne with the backrest and do you like it?
@@user-yq5od9uj3f I have a couple. A DW 9000 tractor seat, a RocNSoc, and an Ahead Spinal Glide. Out of all of them, the Ahead spinal glide ("spinal G") is the most comfortable if you sit on the throne a lot. The others are fine too, but not nearly as comfortable.
@@blakenunndrums Great info Blake. I have a really bad back from distance running. The Ahead seat has the same biomechanical features as good bike saddles, like the ones made by Selle. Thanks for the immediate reply.
@user-yq5od9uj3f I get it, my bro! I fractured my spine wrestling when I was 12, and it took me many spinal surgeries and a spinal cord stimulator implant to be able to walk again. The Ahead is expensive, but definitely worth the money! No problem! Happy drumming!
@@blakenunndrums Sorry to hear about your medical difficulties, I can definitely relate. Although spinal surgeries at 12 had to be really frightening. Anyway great playing. I'm going to buy the Masters Maple Gum but that birch mahogany bass drum is just incredible. The only bass drums that I've heard that can rival it are the Yamaha birch Stage Custom and the Sonor medium birch. If I can get Pearl to finish a Sessions kit in the same finish I choose for the maple Gum I might splurge and get both and mix and match. Take care.
Hey I just seen your post on @Bennyjohnson and decided to check your page out on RUclips. I’m also a drummer bro. So I had to check it out! I’m always trying to learn new stuff! You gave me an idea to start posting some of my jams.
@@ThePercussion10 Excellent, my dude! Glad to see ya! Get it! Happy drumming!
I recently just learned the purdie shuffle at marching band it’s a modified version so it’s a little different there is a video on my channel of it
@WyattTaylorDrums Cool! That's *the* groove! Yeah, you can use a diddle-diddle phrased as triplets to play it too. Cool!
Enjoyed your drum cover 💪. Well done man!
a very nice upload !!!
@@PaulDes Thanks! Hope you're well, brother!
back off the snare tension till it rattles a bit then tighten and make sure u throw that head right out and get any number of single ply snare batters 40 yrs of drums!!!!!!
@timothygayne2058 Cool, man! Yeah, that's how I have all my snares setup, and this video is from years ago with a drum I just took right outta the box. I usually put 30 strand wires and coated G1s or Aquarian texture coated batters with a hazy 300 on all my drums. Thanks!
that bass drum sounds awesome *baowww*
Thanks! Yeah, it's a wacky digital signal processing that come on one of the Yamaha EAD10 settings. Love that EAD! 👊
☺️thats interesting pretty groovy 😎✌️
Yeah, just going back to my improv creating wacky sounds, patterns, and setups roots! 😂
Nice grooves man🤘🤘🤘
Ну допустим, ... а футболка и меховые туфельки , это как😂?
Haha! I could only fit so many weird things into one title, and the slippers were mentioned on a couple of other videos prior. I just get up in whatever I've got on in the mornings and start playing in that! 😂 ...you can obviously tell I don't care much what I look like; just how I sound. lol. 😉 Thanks for checking it out!
11:45 is where the comparison of the 14x6.5 BOB is at
Hello there , I have a very important question to ask you about the pork pie 13-7 bluegreen patina and the polished bead patina, copper splatter looking, polished version, does those colors types sounds different in between them each please ??, I do love your brass patina copper splatter color 13-7 by the way ….
@emmanuelpascalnaigom6366 Hey, bro! Yeah, the patina does either dry out the sound a bit or give it a little more ping/overtones if it's polished. I found a patina without all the blues/greens on it, and it was still a drier sounding drum, but all a brownish color rather than brown/blue/green. Since this video, I also have a polished 13x7 version. Both are phenomenal, and if you're going to be fighting a wall of guitar/bass amps while playing, a polished vs. patina'd won't make one bit of difference than cosmetic for you. All those overtones and ping will get buried in the mix, 100%. You can get either drum to sound like the other with some creative muffling, head choice, and tuning. So honestly, I'd just go for what you like the look of more. If you want a more vintage and dry sound, go with the patina. If only playing by yourself or recording with it, rather than fighting all those guitar and bass timbres live in the mix, factor that in as well. I've seen WAY more patina versions than polished (I live just 30 minutes down the freeway from Bill Detamore/Pork Pie head honcho), so it seems like the patina ones are more sellable for him, not sure. The 13x7 is a strange dimension drum, with DEEP sounding tone but super sensitivity and a great brass sound; especially for the price. I'll put that PP 13x7 up against drums that are triple the price, 100%. It's that nice. You can also get a hold of Bill, let him know the exact color or pattern of the patina you want, and he'll make you one custom, too. Getting a patina without the blue/green is damn near impossible, but I'm more a fan of the continuous look than the tie-dyed blue/green look, so I scored one that was very different than the rest I was seeing in surrounding stores and online. Get what you gravitate towards looks wise, then consider dampening and dry/vintage/aged brass vs polished and pingier (made up a new word! lol) sound to make your choice. Happy hunting and drumming!
@emmanuelpascalnaigom6366 PS, I also just ordered brass die cast hoops for my polished version as well, so the entire drum will be brass, including the hoops, and the die cast hoops will also get rid of some of those overtones. It's a thin shell with triple flanged hoops, and I even threw a 30 strand snare wires on it! Haha! 30 strand wires on a 13" drum = SUPER sensitive ghost notes and a lot of snap with rim shots. It comes as a naturally open sounding drum, so there are easily ways you can leave it super open (flanged hoops, single ply batter head, 300 mil reso head, etc), or make it have less overtones (2 ply head, moongel/dampening, die cast hoops instead of flanged, etc.) So, I would get more of what you like the look of, then just be a little creative with muffling/hoops/number of wires/thickness of heads, etc. to get it to sound like you want. 👊
Sounds so good!
Hey, bro! Thanks! Yeah, wanted to give Dan some sound profiles so he knew what he was getting into with the choices. Thanks for stopping by and checking it out! 👊
what sizes are both your floor toms
One is the 13x13 that comes with the Ludwig Breakbeats kit, and the other was a 14x16 (I think) Gretsch Catalina floor tom. If not 14x16, then 14x14
great, love this band.
Thank you, my bro! Yeah, I used to listen to them many years ago, but surprisingly enough, had never actually learned any of their songs! Haha! It's deceptively harder than it seems with the triplet form, upbeat accents, mixed meter, hits, 32nd note fills, 4/4 16ths during the guitar solo, etc. It's always funny how that works. You're like, "Oh, this will be a piece of cake, I'll just turn it on and play to it." Then you sit down to do it and you're like, "Where'd beat 1 go, I thought we were still doing triplets, what the heck why is there a quick odd meter bar in there, wait now we're back in 4 but with straight 16ths?!" 😆 But in all honesty, it still only took me 20 minutes from active listen-play-upload to do, but I was definitely caught off guard! lol. Hope you're well, my bro! 👊 🥁
Classic😊
Yep! Haven't heard this song since I was a teenager. But I asked this man who helped me out what bands he likes, or genres, or tunes, etc.; and he said Goo Goo Dolls, Alice in Chains, and Queen. Alice in Chains makes me feel like when I first started playing when I do their stuff (lol), cause that's basically where I began, and Queen either has really simple or really difficult tunes. You know me, I ain't choosing We Will Rock you or any of that BS, and a good/hard song by Queen (like Bicycle or something) takes time to do right. So, even though I've never played Iris/this song before, I've heard it a bunch and ended up doing it. It's actually deceptively hard! I mean, if you just stay on the hat the whole time like the original drummer, not so much. But it's got triplet form, mixed meter, 4/4 with 16ths, hits, 32nd note fills, etc. lol! It's organized ballad rock chaos. So, I did the tune for that guy as a thank you for his help. Hope you're well, my bro! Thanks for listening!
@@blakenunndrums yeah some songs are might sound simple but are actually pretty hard to play and sometimes takes a long time to play it right. Im studying a song from dave weckl its called festival the ritmo and its really challenging
@squirrel8016 Oh, well that's comparing apples to Zebras, bro! Haha! Weckl and Caliutta have some of the hardest parts ever orchestrated! This is a song I learned, recorded, and posted in 20 minutes for everything. Haha! What is Hip by Tower of Power that I did about a week ago, on the other hand, that definitely took some serious analyzation and practice to get even 95-98% right. You should try that tune! It's a great one if you like funk, and every single note is specifically placed, or the whole thing falls apart. Hits and groove galore in that tune. Looking forward to seeing your Weckl video!
Lovely cover of an amazing song, brother! I think you really improved it! So well played! Great sound! Outstanding drumming, bro
Hey, brother from another Mexican mother! ...I'm an honory white-boy Mexican, BTW, the OGs told me themselves, and I was called "Guerrito" for like 15 years. lol. Thanks, man! Yeah, this song isn't too crazy except for that one weird bar of odd time, but the original drummer just stays on the hats the entire song, so I did it a little different just to have fun with it. I actually never learned this tune surprisingly enough, but I heard it plenty back in the day. So, I learned the form quickly (just counted it out), so I could do it as a "gift"/dedication to someone who helped me out. Since it's really one of my own things that I can create from scratch, put my spirit and energy into, and create; usually I do these for people to show my appreciation for them or the things they've overcome. Thanks for stopping by! When are we gonna do our next collab?! I'm around all summer, my bro!
Sick! You should enter the iRock Drum Contest!
Hey! Thank you very much! Yeah, I may check it out! I'm not much into those types of things anymore and just love to play (I also teach/play semi-pro), but that could be fun! I appreciate you stopping by and the comment! Happy drumming!
Very nice !!
Thank you!!
I didn't know you did lives! I will try to catch one sometime.
Hey, bro! Yeah! Sometimes...lol. Depends on how I feel that day, but during the summer, I have way more time to. I just loaded a couple jazz/funk covers today too. Hope you're well!
@@blakenunndrums cool man! I hear that. Sounds good, and I hope you're well also!
@@printz-of-peepz Thank you, brother! Take care!

I've got a Mapex Black Panther Solidus snare. It's 11 ply Maple! Love it! 🤘🤘🤘
Yeah, all the black panther lines are great! I'm a fan of hybrid shells, but the shadow has mostly maple, just the inner and outer plies are walnut. Walnut has an unbelievable punch to it, and that's what the Mapex Saturn's are made out of, too. But I also have 20 ply cold pressed all maple (British Merlin), and a lot of other 10-20 ply wood/hybrid shells, so the Shadow is what I generally let other ppl borrow if they need a decent snare and don't have one to use. Yeah, that aluminum black panther is a killer drum! That's why I try to get multiple snares (brass, wood, hybrid, aluminum, steel, etc.) so I have all my bases covered for whatever context the music calls for. That Pork Pie Waterfall Bubinga-maple snare is also killer! I put die cast hoops on it, too (comes with flanged). It's a deep and great timbre drum.
@@blakenunndrums Yeah that atomizer aluminum is a killer
Good one Blake! Got me looking into Rare Americans. Very appreciated!
Thank you!! Yeah, my student turned me onto them, so I did it as sort of dedication to him. Couldn't believe the band actually commented on the video too! Crazy! lol. Hope you're well! Take care!
Song is phresh! You got skills Blake! I've got an old track and a remix of the same track on my channel, if you wanna peep (you don't have to, I'm not trying to 'make it' these days lol). See ya in chat soon man!
Hey, my dude! Thanks so much! Yeah, my student Gregory, who is on some videos below as well, loves this band, so I did a cover of it for him. I couldn't believe the actual group/band commented on the video, too! That's pretty crazy! But, I liked the groove and parts to this tune, so I just turned it on and gave it a shot. That's pretty much how I do all my videos; I either just turn it on and freestyle to it without ever trying it first, or just listen to it one or twice to know where the section changes/hits/fills are at, and then just do a take or 2. This one was a listen and then 1 take type of version. Cool group with a lot of styles! You play?? What instrument? I'll check out your channel for sure!
I only see 2 videos and playlists, none of Rare Americans. But, is that you rapping and doing the programming?? If so, awesome! We should do a collab!
@@blakenunndrums yeah there's only the 2 videos and that's me rapping, and I did the video, but not the music! That song is almost 11 years old now, I just put it up a while back, but it's old. I actually haven't written a song since around that time, and haven't rapped either since then. I have considered getting back into it, but I honestly don't know if the ol' man still has it lol...I will think about it and see if I can't get motivated to make music again..if so, would definitely love to collab on something! I'm in the middle of a move, so once I'm settled in, I will see what happens and let ya know.
That’s a Nice sounding snare!
Thank you, my bro-bro!!! If you could upgrade ONE THING this year, don't worry about the cost. What would you get? lol 😉

Tasty playthrough!
Thank you, my dude!!
Nicely done, dude!
Thank you, brother!!! You might like some of the others below too?? I dunno, but there's some hip hop ( the actual band responded in the comments too, "Rare Americans"), an Oliver Tree tune, and some Vulfpeck/funk. Might enjoy. Thanks for checking it out and stopping by!
Awesome job, Gregory!
This is me, Blake. I meant my student, who recommended the song to me; his name is Gregory. My name is Blake, and this is my channel and I'm playing the song. Thanks so much for checking it out! Gregory won't believe it!!! 👊
