2024 July Drummer View

A look at how a drum enclosure (i.e. a drum cage) can control the volume levels of a drum kit giving the drummer the ability to use a full range of dynamics on an acoustic kit in a mid-size room. Actually, room size doesn't matter. Put on headphones for videos like this.

There's no click-track in my ears (I'm sure you can tell with the variations in tempo). I had lots of imperfections while leading worship behind the drum kit. Fortunately God accepts us with all of our failures. I put this together for folks who wonder what worship looks like behind a drum kit. It's not a performance for people, it's an offering to the Father.

Play Along Fast Rockn Blues in C
Просмотров 638 месяцев назад
This video/song is a little over 10 minutes long. It's a fast paced rocking ("Rockn") tune meant to be practiced with for lead guitar players and anyone else that wants to play solos. It's based on a blues chord progression but doesn't sound like the blues because of the 4/4 timing and goes at a fast paced 160 BPM (beats per minute). You'll get a little music theory along the way and get to pla...

      I found that you would need to buy a “Media Mod” for the GoPro to accept a microphone. The media mod has an 1/8th inch jack (small headphone jack). Plugging the Samson Q2U directly into the GoPro did not work.

    LOL DIG THAT ANCIENT DW5K DOUBLE PEDAL WITH THE CROOKED BEATER!! I had one just like it back in the early 90's except I installed a second crooked beater for symmetry. I traded that contraption in for 2 first-gen Iron Cobras once I got my second bass drum. That whole kit is long gone but I still have the pedals. Thx for the info on t he Griffin remote hi-hat stand, I've been looking at getting one. Take care!

    • @hopkinks1

      They’re “stereo” inputs. Technically it does have 12 but counting stereo inputs as 2 instead of one is somewhat misleading in my opinion.

    If you get low monitor output, you may have the plugs wired wrong. The outputs are set up for phones, with tip and ring both separate hot signals, not balanced out. So to get a line level signal use a stereo plug but hook hot to tip and ground to sleeve and leave ring unconnected. Or just insert an unbalanced cable (tip-sleeve) to the first notch. I am using the unit as a 4 channel recorder to archive my collection of quad SQ, QS, and CD-4 lps. Each input and monitor channel is used for one of the 4 channels from my quad decoder. The mixer monitor outs drive the "discreet analog surround inputs on my Marantz receiver with plenty of volume. My only beef is the inability to label tracks with names more easily.

    When I use the A-Output for the Monitor I get in trouble. This Output ist a Stereo Output! If I use a cable with a Stereo jack and connect it to the Monitor, the Monitors symetric Input builds a differential signal which sounds terrible! Stereo connectors and symetric connectors are not comatible.

In Port 9/10 or 11/12 - if 2 ¼” Jack mics are inserted does it get combined as one or we can access/modify the left part in the software & adjust the reverb and frequencies? 2. You said grouping is there. Does the grouping also be assigned to the headphone jack? Like there are 3 headphone jack. 1 for singers only, 1 for singer & drummer, 1 for all - like to editor/director.

    • @hopkinks1
      @hopkinks1 2 года назад

      You need to buy a clamp to clamp it on to another stand to control overall height. Then there is a standard clutch to control the height of the top hat on the rod. Then there is tension amount which I have to the extreme so I I have to push down fairly hard to close it all the way. I had the tension too loose for a while and it felt “mushy”. I swapped out the clutch for a quick release clutch to make double bass transitions easier. Overall I liked this pedal enough to buy 2 of them.
