True. You just don’t have to use every single one in your setup. There’s a guy here on RUclips that has a 5 or 6 piece kit and he has something like 45 cymbals set up. He thinks it’s just fine.
@@EvilSewnit No it’s a guy from South America. He only has a few low quality clips of him jamming with a guitar player and some other random videos. Darrens kit looks big but this other guys kit is imbalanced with 30 crashes on a 5 piece kit. It’s ridiculous. If I can find the clip I’ll post it here.
Thank you Samus for your energy and spontaneous comments! I love the energy between you and your wife! I am 54, have had both shoulders repaired and now a hamstring that never healed properly. After watching your videos, I want to get back into my drumming! I have been afraid to so I wouldnt fuck anything else up! Lol! Thank you!
Regarding terrible pedals, I've heard that DW make sub-$200 direct drive double pedals that have a tendency to fall apart real quick. I think they're called the PDP Concept Pedal.
I can´t believe it. My first cd was Big ones as well! a couple of years later I was introduced to metal by a friend. Congrats for tour channel bro, very funny and we learn a lot. Greetings from Costa Rica!
damn. I asked for a hug too. lol. that could've been me. but seriously man I adore your videos. you got so much credibility in the metal community and yet you're so fucking funny: you're just like Abbath I hope you never run out of motivation because you just pour out a lot of great stuff. cheers my friend
bro...how are you not to a mill yet? I'm not even a drummer and I love your content. (My brother is the drummer and insisted that Samus is the shiznitobam shiznite.) Turns out he was right. :)
11:34 1. start with cheapos 2. Get nice ones later 3. Keep old cheapos for practice/trashers 4. Replace the trashers for like $60 each and keep the nice ones nice 👍
They're uncommon, but my vote for worst double bass pedal is the 80's Pearl P880 double kick. Cool concept cause you could mount the slave pedal to virtually any pedal, the only issue is the main pedal's beater angle can only be adjusted so it's either 1 or 1.5 miles away, the footboard is tiny, the slave's beater arm is angled so have fun finding a replacement, and I had to swap the springs because even maxed out the old springs were like a gentle breeze trying to return the pedal. I wouldnt even mind shipping them out for a video cause holy shit do I ever NOT wanna play these things.
The best shoes for drummers are shoes made for skateboarding. Just the right amount of grip and slip. I'm a huge fan of using van's shoes for playing. For cleaning cymbals, I use Bar Keepers Friend. Absolutely the easiest and best and low cost.
i hope you can read this someday, recently found your channel and as some comments say, you really motivate people and give them joy to them. i seem to be no different and quickly became a samus fan haha! i have been fighting very hard depression and felt very but very unmotivated to play drums although i recently got a 7 piece pearl reference kit, had some issues with the color coding and you could say that shit has been eating me aliiive!! still trying to ignore it as it is an expensive shit kit lol! anyway watching your videos made me wanna go, setup that damn kit and start rocking again! thanks for your joy, your enthusiasm and the laughs ive been receiving from your vids. keep rockin'!! thank you deeply
I stopped using cymbal cleaner from the big cymbal companies. Bar Keepers Friend powder is great. A loose mixture for overall maintenance works great. For a heavily soiled used cymbals wet the cymbal and sprinkle the powder on the cymbal and work it in with a sponge with a scrubby pad. Rinse often when you see the black and grey residue. Repeat until the residue is almost white and you the know the cymbal is clean. Be careful around those logos if that’s important to you. BKF works on traditional and brilliant cymbals. Brasso is good to get those brilliant cymbals extra clean. NEVER use any cream cleaners on traditional cymbals. This is why I usually stick to Bar Keepers Friend since it’s safe on all cymbal surfaces.
I have those and they are my first double pedals. Started playing drums 5 weeks ago now and I feel like they are fine but I haven't really tried other ones do idk.
Τhe PDP 502 double pedal. This thing sucks. Close to none pedal adjustments available. The worst thing about it, is the beaters. They really damage any drum head i ever played plus they just damaged the bass drum on my millenium ekit.
I own the shittiest double pedal. It's an ancient lefty Iron Cobra from 1995. The chains are rusted. The ball bearings are JB welded. One has so much loose tension in it that you have to mechanically play differently, like your limping, to make it sound in sync with the other pedal. Yes I still use it and play with it to jam. I got it new in '95 for $200 and now pedals are over $500. Can't afford that, I'll keep limping along, I'm not gonna make it big anyway
I've never been comfortable playing hi hat on a double bass drum kit. So I understand why you play "ride side" hi hat more that the left side. It's just so far away!
I’d really like to see a wise, humble , articulate, and uberskilled drummer such as yourself do a video on the best affordable DD and chain drive double kick pedals for your money or for anyone wanting to dip their toes (😏 literally ) into the DD realm or the longboard kingdom for instance . My choices are PDP 400 single chain for single chain and value for money $100 . More adjustable than you think , smooth and sturdy with a great linkage bar ( very informed opinion ) . The Speed Cobras Wo the coil for double chain around $ 240( somewhat informed opinion ) and my own Gibraltar 6700 series DD pedals very smooth , quite adjustable with separate adjustments and super durable (so far so good )
I had a pair of double bass pedals and they were $60!!!🤣🤣 it was a long time ago whenever I had them and idek if they are available but they were pretty shitty🤣I found them on Amazon. Also I don’t even think they that were brand named.
I have a Gibraltar pedal i just bought used in”good condition” on GC and It’s straight up garbage! The axel sags and almost collapses while kicking. The bearings are good on it though so i have no idea what to do with it. If you want it buddy it’s yours!
i have the evans hybrid snare head too. i dont think ill ever have to buy another snare head for the rest of my life. the first album i bought for myself was Dokken Back for the Attack on cassette, the first CD i ever bought was The Crow soundtrack. the first digital song i bought through itunes was Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance.
Dude, gotta get the cowbell. I got married on June 3rd 1988. My step dad tried to kill me and my little brother day before I got hitched. My brother had a black eye and he was my best man the very next day. He was 16 at the time. And the best & worst thing about being married is EVERYTHING! I love it. { FART} I really enjoy your videos dude. Don't know what the hell you're saying 1/4 of the time, but the other 75% I get it. Badass drummer too! And I am still married to the same woman till this day. Edibles kicked in cuz!
I second that. I have wanted to play drums literally all my life but never had the chance. either no room or no money sometimes both and of course the main issue the noise!!!!
Hey Samus When I started to double bass drum I had a shitty double pedal and I just thought you’d want to review it The place you’ll need to buy it is the site wish. IT was so shitty it broke whilst doing the thing it was made for DOUBLW BASS DRUMMING .
Love your channel, you are by far the most awesome Drummer ..and not only because of your skill level but because of your awesome ability to be genuine with your audience, a tru bahee,..I have been using kevlar matching band snare heads for a long time ..I would also shave down the studs so they could he super tight with vice grips OMG holy shit balls what a sweet pop!!.. also do you like movies about gladiators?....
You could try the fame double pedal direct drive. It's the one I use but I don't think people would appreciate it Personally I don't have many issues with it but I haven't tried many other pedals. But ut is a cheap knock-off-kinda pedal so worth a shot I suppose.
Hahahaha, I remember when I was playing in a band , umm long time ago now.... the long hair getting stuck in the splintered drumsticks, Yea, glad to know I'm not the only one. That shit hit home. 🤣🤣🤣
I wear ballet slippers (not those toe things) when i play. Slightly thicker than a sock thin leather soul so i can still feel the pedal. But also, i live in ga so barefoot is equally acceptable

4:23 Button for that shocked gasp face. :D
Sam, Carrie is Shmokin, serious she is Beautiful & Funny, just bein honest bro, "More Carrie" We Love Ya Samus 👍
Hey samus you got a new subscriber your content is good keep the videos coming
If she is cool with it, bring your wife into more videos - your dynamic is hilarious.
Samus and Carrie = couple goals.
I’m lonely
@@cuttingaway123 same
I have this type of relationship with mine. 😁
@Dr Perun When I first saw the two I thought the same thing. Carrie just looks older than Sam.
Hi guys and welcome back to another episode of why I am single also I didn't know her name was carrie
We need those hats again. Somehow. All three of them.
I know you from the Stream last night
Don’t ask why
yes!! need the hats!!!! \m/ what Timmmmmayyyy said!!
4:20 made me laugh from The way he called glenn Flickr
Petition for Samus to do a video where he plays some Jazz
He has
He needs to play caravan
Some good ol' Jazz Jizzington.
PRIMUS SUCKS! True PRIMUS fans will understand that hah hah! I love that band to this day. Tim Alexander is a big part of me first getting into drums.
Im wearing one of their concert shirts right now. 🤘
Did you know Wynonna had a big brown beaver?
HERB SUCKS!
Primus sucks! Primus sucks! LOL! 😄
Primus sucks!
There is no such thing as too many drums.

You and your wife have so much chemistry together on cam lol she really fits your style of talking on videos.
Carrie's reaction to "69 or 420" at 8:42 is amazing.
SAM!!
lmao

The way Carrie said my question is exactly what I sounded like typing it. What a tongue twister 🤣
The cavchuck one?
Yeah Danilo.
I had to keep proof reading it & saying it out loud. 🤣
22!!!!!
Shout out to Carrie for an appearance!!! Thanks for all the streams and vids. Stay safe.

When the broadcast starts with rum you know it is going to be a good one!

Can confirm. My high school had them and maybe it was the way the previous drummer set them up but they felt too light and overall not nice.
8:43 Holy shit that’s my comment
No one cares.
It's funny how many people ask him about cutting his hair 🤣
Is that a fucking emoji of samus?
How did you get that Samus pic?
you become a member
Common thing when you have long hair, I got it almost once a day
Man is awesome to see you two just bounce off of each other and having fun. Very chill personalities! Oh yuuurrr!
I can´t believe it. My first cd was Big ones as well! a couple of years later I was introduced to metal by a friend. Congrats for tour channel bro, very funny and we learn a lot. Greetings from Costa Rica!

You and your wife have such a hilarious dynamic lmao. More Samus and Carrie vids!
Millenium's and Mapex's cheap double pedals are the worst shit that I've personally played with.
Yea same here
I have those and they are my first double pedals. Started playing drums 5 weeks ago now and I feel like they are fine but I haven't really tried other ones do idk.
Not sure if percussion plus makes a double pedal but I had a single pedal back in 96. 🤮
Even the more expensive Armory ones (below the falcon) aren't great. They feel quite stiff
My first Mapex double pedals were atrocious. My current Mapex double pedals are 10/10
No “click” in the end? Oh Nurr.
Well... He ended the video with "sex?" and his wife said "sex!" so... Guess he got himself pretty busy to record the outro =P
Carrie was great! You guys definitely make a great couple!
Lest we forget Neal Peart's insane kit as well.The man's off timing signatures were inspirational to many drummers even though they dont post it
I am at the point where a video of Samus comes out, I don't even watch the title anymore, I rush into it. Greeting from Belgium
My dream for his new merch... a picture of this thumbnail on a shirt.. it'll be a great family shirt 🥰🥰
Τhe PDP 502 double pedal. This thing sucks. Close to none pedal adjustments available. The worst thing about it, is the beaters. They really damage any drum head i ever played plus they just damaged the bass drum on my millenium ekit.

Ahhh yess I also remember the Iron cobra.... I remember that I tape the pedal to the floor so it doesn't fly away.
@@impolaris1398 yup forgot to mention that part 🤣
@@NokturnalMTG even it was the shittiest one it's also one of the best.
I've never been comfortable playing hi hat on a double bass drum kit. So I understand why you play "ride side" hi hat more that the left side. It's just so far away!
The most relatable part of the video is about the sticks with splinters you don’t have to have that long of hair to relate just rock really hard
Un saludo y un abrazo grande pareja , me alegra ver que estais bien los dos .
13:44 🎤I met you when you were 22🎶 😂🖤
Hello Carrie & Samus 💖💗💖
Dude u are a fucking legend respect from northern Michigan
Greetings from mid michigan. When covids over let's rock
Fun video, nice job Samus! 😄👍
That braid may be possible tho
for the jazz i recommend caravan, very good solos and main riffs
I use cotton sole Kung-Fu slippers to play. 1/4" of cotton on the foot you can feel everything.
Last night's show was fu*kin dope man
She's lovely. You dudes are great.
The primus answer is spot on.

If you really are considering a cowbell I HIGHLY recommend Mike Johnston's signature one from Meinl.....it's great! Oh YURRRR
Awsome drummer,chops galore & seems like all around good guy,having fun in life.👍🤘🤘🤘🤘
6:00 And Neil Peart for sure
See you on the livestream tonight!!!!
Of course you are the best, we love you Sammy ya baheee.....
Will be great to hear you playing some real brutal death stuffs(Orchidectomy, Pustulated, Induced, Delusional Parasitosis, ect.)
1:36 And you know Samus has to feel all his strokes.
When I played in a death metal band I used a Gibraltar double base pedal. That was like 1999 ish.
I had a pair of double bass pedals and they were $60!!!🤣🤣 it was a long time ago whenever I had them and idek if they are available but they were pretty shitty🤣I found them on Amazon. Also I don’t even think they that were brand named.
8:00 : Question: Have you considered using remote hi-hat cables? I know Pearl and DW at least offer some really good products.
I have a Gibraltar pedal i just bought used in”good condition” on GC and It’s straight up garbage! The axel sags and almost collapses while kicking.
The bearings are good on it though so i have no idea what to do with it.
If you want it buddy it’s yours!

9:50 GREAT
7:27, it would be interesting to see if Samus would use a cable hi hat for the right hihat stand. You can place the pedal aaaaaaaannywhere lol
4:37 Shout out to Michael Davis for that wonderful comment ❤️❤️❤️

We all know he ended the video on the pipi hair question so he can "experiment" and find out the answer in the bathroom lol 😆
I may or may not have a solution for your "hair getting caught in drumsticks" problem: ponytail.
wow that was a hard one lol
You two are adorbs. 😊
Oh yuuuur. Samus mentioning Alex Bent made my day.
answer to the double pedal question if you can find it was my first the pdp p100
You guys have great chemistry
Kinda need the answer to that last question tho man. Cuz if I keep letting mine grow I'll be able to do it... in theory. I trim the bushes frequently
Love your channel, you are by far the most awesome Drummer ..and not only because of your skill level but because of your awesome ability to be genuine with your audience, a tru bahee,..I have been using kevlar matching band snare heads for a long time ..I would also shave down the studs so they could he super tight with vice grips OMG holy shit balls what a sweet pop!!.. also do you like movies about gladiators?....

Pls try the Millenium 669 double base pedal. Its so bad. OHHH YUUURRR
9:27 What do you do for a living?
I still haven't recovered LOL
That one killed me too 😂😂😂😂

1:19 a $40 (usd) double bass pedal from wish maybe. I was wanting to get one but I didn't yet.
Hahahaha, I remember when I was playing in a band , umm long time ago now.... the long hair getting stuck in the splintered drumsticks, Yea, glad to know I'm not the only one. That shit hit home. 🤣🤣🤣
This dude has major Weird Al Yankovic vibes. And I mean that in the best way possible
I wear ballet slippers (not those toe things) when i play. Slightly thicker than a sock thin leather soul so i can still feel the pedal. But also, i live in ga so barefoot is equally acceptable
Please do more of these
You and the cap’n can make it happ’n!
