We've said it before and we'll say it again, those that are willing to experiment with this way of thinking and potentially shift their perspective will reap the benefits far beyond the context of music making.
Hands down the most helpful and informative drum channel on youtube, thanks to which my drums sound nice again 👍 10+ years of drumming and finally I know what I'm doing with my drum sound. Thank you!
SLAD at its finest - concise, systematic and pertinent. Thanks guys, I'll be recommending this one to my drum students (already a big advocate for your channel!).
After a lot of A/B testing at my drum shop, I bought a Ludwig Universal snare last summer. Brought it home, changed the heads, and in my 14x14x7 room, I just couldn't get it to sound right. It was in tune it just sounded meh. Fast forward to our next gig, outside on a flatbed stage, and that drum just sang without any adjustment. It was everything i wanted out of it when i got it. Bottom line: I don't tune in that room anymore. :)
I have learned so much from this channel just about opening my ears and my mind to the possibilities and my drum set and I thank you guys so much! I’m a former acrolite level supporter and I’m en route to sign up again after watching this!
I have a theory that one of the main reasons high end drums usually sound so good is because of owner refusing to have their expensive kit sound bad. I know when I bought my DW performance set used, I just couldn't stand for it to sound bad. With my old cheapo set I didn't care as much if other people heard it and it didn't sound great, I wouldn't be blamed because my kit was a beginner set. Having the nice set, it's basically all on me if it sounds terrible. I've spent more time tuning, measuring (I measure what results I like with a drum dial), messing with dampening... I record down what I've done to each drum when I get a sound I like.
were you continuing the cymbal series? i was under the perception that was what the next few videos at least would be on. or is that to be mixed in with other videos?
We'll be releasing episodes from Cymbal Sounds sporadically- likely once per month going forward. If you like to see them now, we have 30+ episodes available to watch ad free on our Patreon: sladl.ink/Patreon
We’ve never actually shared this approach for troubleshooting and, based on how many people send us questions on a weekly basis, this sure seemed to be needed. Glad to hear that you’re already feeling adept with the process!
The first 10 seconds are wisdom that go beyond even just drums. ♥️

Exactly.
The room is very important.
So much wisdom in this clip.

Great approach!!! Saved and bookmarked! 🤓
I got a small little clip of Stevie at the Anaheim Namm show 2024

Fantastic! Thank you.
Did you try turning them off and then back on again?

It starts with a nice gentle massage of the cowbell. 😂

I see the Lauten snare mic 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
We’ve really been digging it! I use it all the time for other projects and decided to throw it in for the interludes today. Cheers! -Ben
@@SoundsLikeADrum Good stuff! I love mine too!
Have you tried saying kind words to the drum?
Did you guys get a new camera? This looks downright cinematic.
We've made some lighting and camera angle changes based on some other projects we've been working on. Thanks!
Well….nothing real new today….no Problem…every day can‘t be sunday….
