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.
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.
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!
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. :)
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
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!
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
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 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.
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.
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
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 👍
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 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 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'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 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.
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’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 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 .
Omg SAMUS! we’re McDonalds Order Twins!! I also always get a junior chicken and a McDouble and fries as well!! It’s like super cheap and you get to enjoy a nice variety of flavours hahaha!
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. 🤣🤣🤣
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!
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?....
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
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.
DXP double kick, back in my young days. Playing in a live shitty deathhore band. We covered Thy Art Is Murder - Whore To A Chainsaw, and the chain broke on the slave pedal. lmao now I have Pearl Demon Drives, and had them for over 10 years \m/
The only double pedal that I didn’t like very much was the Pearl P932. The single pedals are amazing but the double pedal not so much since it’s a single chain.
If you want to watch the best female drummer out there with Mad Skills especially at jazz and heavy Rock jazz fusion Style... at the top of the list will be senri kawaguchi
My first double pedal, back in 1995, I think it was by Adams (do I even remember well, is Adams a real thing?)... Anyways, you could extend the rod only from one side, it had only one bolt to mount it on the pedal... it was a total tragedy... BUT, I tought myseld how to play double bass drum on that pedal, so thanks Adams, but I will never touch you again, if it still exists that is as a company.

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
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
If she is cool with it, bring your wife into more videos - your dynamic is hilarious.
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!!
Petition for Samus to do a video where he plays some Jazz
He has
He needs to play caravan
Some good ol' Jazz Jizzington.
There is no such thing as too many drums.

"I don't like playing with bare feet. It's too cold." I'm getting that quote tattooed on my forehead, so relatable.
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!!!!!
When the broadcast starts with rum you know it is going to be a good one!
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.
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.
0:21 lmao. Carrie in the background.
Shout out to Carrie for an appearance!!! Thanks for all the streams and vids. Stay safe.
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!
4:20 made me laugh from The way he called glenn Flickr
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!
Thank YOU Shawn!
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
8:43 Holy shit that’s my comment
No one cares.
Man is awesome to see you two just bounce off of each other and having fun. Very chill personalities! Oh yuuurrr!

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

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
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

My dream for his new merch... a picture of this thumbnail on a shirt.. it'll be a great family shirt 🥰🥰
Will be great to hear you playing some real brutal death stuffs(Orchidectomy, Pustulated, Induced, Delusional Parasitosis, ect.)
I use cotton sole Kung-Fu slippers to play. 1/4" of cotton on the foot you can feel everything.
When I played in a death metal band I used a Gibraltar double base pedal. That was like 1999 ish.
You two are great. Thank you.
Fun video, nice job Samus! 😄👍
Un saludo y un abrazo grande pareja , me alegra ver que estais bien los dos .

Hello Carrie & Samus 💖💗💖
for the jazz i recommend caravan, very good solos and main riffs
If you really are considering a cowbell I HIGHLY recommend Mike Johnston's signature one from Meinl.....it's great! Oh YURRRR
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.

I may or may not have a solution for your "hair getting caught in drumsticks" problem: ponytail.
wow that was a hard one lol
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

See you on the livestream tonight!!!!
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
It's not about how many drums and cymbals you have but how many people you can get to carry them to a gig 😎👌😆 thanks for the laughs sam.
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 😆
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?....
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
very good spot on the french language with those biscuits
The primus answer is spot on.
12:10 This generations Mike Portnoy
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.
0:24 🤣🤣🤣
answer to the double pedal question if you can find it was my first the pdp p100
DXP double kick, back in my young days. Playing in a live shitty deathhore band. We covered Thy Art Is Murder - Whore To A Chainsaw, and the chain broke on the slave pedal. lmao now I have Pearl Demon Drives, and had them for over 10 years \m/
1:36 And you know Samus has to feel all his strokes.
She's lovely. You dudes are great.
Of course you are the best, we love you Sammy ya baheee.....
What is your opinion on joey leaving slipknot and jay joining? (I know you have done a question like this) ...OH YER
Oh yuuuur. Samus mentioning Alex Bent made my day.
You guys are amazing
The only double pedal that I didn’t like very much was the Pearl P932. The single pedals are amazing but the double pedal not so much since it’s a single chain.
Cowbell for drumsticks?
