For me flams are hardest! Thanks bro!

I think I got more out of these pages than I did from 5,6 and 7

The floor tom in red sounds incredible!

Cool Tune

kit sounds great thanks for the video.

Fire tutorial. I wish you more views.

#1 for me

Awesome drum playing, recording sound, and awesome shirt.

Mad respect

Pretty solid!!!

Thank for this video. Very informative.

Playing closed rolls necessitates changing your normal grip. I'm sure some are out there that do not, but anyone I've observed transitioning between open and closed rolls revises their grip and stroke.

Well done I'm working on my rolls, Nowhere near this level yet

Went through that book with many others in the early '70s with my instructor. We stood next to each other and both played it on the pool table cushions until His Mom saw us and shut that down. Haha.

I been thinking of buying a practice pad man..🤔

Fuxk yeah thats brilliant

Sounds good man, like the tuning ! 🤘🥁

Very clean, nice groove

Great lesson, wonderful example also for my Students, thanks for sharing !

Very nice lesson. Thanks very much for the insights into Stick Control. I have found similar surprising insights from the great book Synchopation playing the hand exercises with the feet. Drums are endless and infinite I think, which is a good thing.

awesome thanks for sharing, nice sounding kit too...

Beautiful work I'm want to see or would like to see more teaching like this it's very useful.

Nicely done! I don't know how your ears handle the loudness, though... I would have to buy digital drums. Cheers.

I've got a Ludwig classic maple downbeat kit that i put together from some orphan drums from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. The best sounding kit I've ever owned.

Great! Subbed!

This truly helped! I can’t believe I didn’t see it like that! Thank you 🥁

I used to play drums but now I just enjoy good lessons from oldies very nicely done

Nice. I keep trying to get a friend to sell his 1967 Super Classic set(blue oyster pearl). He found it in a dumpster.

Beastie Boys have great beats too!! I know Run DMC had a lot to do with them

nice one Jim😊

The dumbbell on the mic stand. Nifty.

Demo purposes god damn dude I think it sounds amazing. It sounds exactly how I think a kit should sound

Cool video.Thanks for the a/b'ing of the drum head combinations. Ive done a lot of experimenting with my bass drums trying to find the best tone. Everything from an 18" ,20 which I'm currently using, a 22" that I used to use mostly until I had to sell it but I kept my original 26" that I dont use much lately. Mostly Yamaha drums. My experience is it almost doesnt matter much which head you use if your going to mic and use an eq to tweak the sound to your liking. BUT if you want to get an eq'd sound without electronic gear eq, I like a big open sound with a lot of low end. What I did for a big boomy sound with a lot of low end was to get an emad or an eq3 BUT you use the emad bigger ring on the batter and glue the thinner ring on the front head. That way you get a big tone without annoying overtones and ring. You almost dont need any internal muffling unless you dont want it to resonate so much but that resonance gets lost in the mix playing live. The two muffling rings on both heads kind of take care of that. The 26 is still a work in progress. That tends to have some boinginess. Since I didnt want to spend sixty bucks on an emad ring for the front head, What I did was get a spray can of Flex seal and sprayed the inside of the reso head that made a circle where an eq ring would be, generally about a couple inches from the bearing edge. Like I said I havent used it live yet but in an isolated situation , it sounds really good. The mass of the rubber ring, eq's and cuts down a tiny bit of resonance. Another thing I found to massively help with getting more natural low end out of the bass drum is to decouple it from the floor. Working with my floor tom originally I realized the contact with bass drum legs and a hard floor really sucked the low end out of the floor tom so I cut some one inch foam. Something like a two inch piece of flip flop shoe foam under the floor tom legs brought back a LOT of low end to the floor tom. So I used that same idea to the bass drum and made a drum rug that had a strip of wood on the edge, I glued a layer of kids jig saw floor mat foam about a 1/4 inch thick and glued a small layer the same size as the wood strip sandwiched between the rug and the wood strip. The bass drum legs stick into notches I cut into the wood surface. This also decouples the bass drum from the floor and keeps the drum from going anywhere. I get a good 30% more low end coming from the drum. I get a great resonant but very low end eq'd sound without any micing. I just recently started playing out again after joining a band. I used a Yamaha 20" stage custom bass drum with an eq3 with an aquarian eliminator reso head at this venue that had a sound guy. The guy brought the mic levels up and he said "Jesus that things sounds like an 808!" It did. The sustain was a little long for the type of music I was playing even though the front head had a hole in the front so I put my sweatshirt in the bass drum a little to shorten the resonance a bit. So to wrap this long story up and summarize...If you want more low end, decouple the drum from the floor. Evans rings front and back will eq the drum pretty much right out of the box. No annoying ring or boinginess. Simple as that!

Thanks for this video. I took (for me) a very big leap into 20” kicks a couple of years ago. I always played 22” with porting and blanket inside and the Evans EQ3. The kick I now use is 20 x 14 Gretsch USA Custom with Remo PS3 and Remo Ambassador. No porting blanket or dampening. I love the sound. US maple drums like Ludwig and DW just have that something special about them. I thought yours sounded great with the EQ3 and with the Ludwig reso. I was less keen on the no reso but again this probably suits rock with plenty of attack. Anyway very good.

Very Cool. Thanks! If you get the time, please fill us in on the kit and what else you may have that you use in situations. I picked up an old 3ply maple Slingerland sky blue Pearl 22” kick in ok condition that I restored to a usable state cuz I wanted a ten lug 22” kick instead of the 8 lug 22”Ludwig from the 80s, I have. Something about a 22” ten lug I’ve always liked a lot. May just be the looks. Ha Ha. 10 lugs look official at the front of a kit! 🧐🤣😂🤣 I’m a new drummer, so these things still hold that kind of learning value for me. Thanks again. Take care.

Thanks Jim!!
