Gigging drummers want to make setting up/packing up as easy as possible. This means just taking the gear that's necessary. I think that's why you see the same basic drum setups year after year, especially at the amateur level.
People have to realize that (lifelong) pro drummers don’t really have a lot of time to just listen and absorb a LOT of other music. So yeah, plenty of drummers have huge blind spots to other musicians and drummers. Think about all the artists and albums and songs you haven’t ever even heard of. TONS
@ brother I’ve never heard a single song by her. I like mostly metal so if I ever heard a pop song I couldn’t tell you the difference to save my life 🤣 and that’s not bashing, listen to what makes you happy people 🤷🏻♂️😁 but it’s just the truth
Everyone has 24 hours in their day. It's a very weird argument to suggest someone who's job is playing drums for 90 minutes max a day, is too busy to put in earbuds.
@@WoockerSocket2 exactly. It pro musicians even more so. You know what they’re busy doing? Rehearsing, practicing, making new music themselves, touring. When you play music all the time for years on end, sometimes the last thing you and to to when you finally get home to relax is listen to more music 🤣
> drumeo drumless tracks Yeah, you can do this yourself with AI now. For example, theres a software called "song master", you can take any track, separate the stems and then just mute the drums. Its amazing yall. Any track.
I HIGHLY recommend Song Master. I’ve worked with the guys and it’s fantastic software and a great company. Biggest benefit is that it’s downloadable desktop software, whereas most other apps are just mobile or web-based
Just because some people searching for the next hip thing to show off to keep up their viewing numbers started using clap stacks then stopped doesn't reflect their actual usefulness or continued popularity. Clap stacks are showing up in more songs, not fewer. I won't say they'll be as common at the hi-hat, but the hi-hat is only 100 years old (and still evolving, like Peter Kuppers's triple hi-hat) and evolved from cymbal playing.
Clap stacks are a huge innovation, the people hating on them are the same guys who complain about how “there’s no good music anymore.” They just hate anything unfamiliar by default.
My hot take on this is that some of those dry cymbals work well in smaller venues or house of worship. I am a drummer and FOH sound engineer, so sometimes drier cymbals make the overall mix easier to work with in smaller venues. HOWEVER, the dry/extra dry/burnt toast cymbal sound has gotten a little out of hand… *looking at you Meinl*
My take is just different music, I personally play something akin to Prog and I love my cruddy cymbals when I need them, but I also use mostly "normal" cymbals
The only time I didn't buy into the "never heard a song before" thing was when the Mars Volta drummer claimed they didn't know Rush while playing Peart signature sticks. Like...how?
@@DerHerrMitR wild 😅 even so, it’s always fantastic to watch them play to those songs. Drumeo has managed to scratch the itch of “I wonder what x Drummer would sound like playing y song”
To be fair it is possible that they knew of Neil Peart but hadn’t listened to Rush (Like I know of Tim Alexander but haven’t listened to Primus) Or could be that they don’t know Neil Peart but like his signature sticks (I’ve bought so so many signature sticks without knowing who the drummer is) Does seem wild to not know Rush given they play in Mars Volta but not totally implausible
@@brettclurdrumsI think this should be the trend that Drumeo adopts. I have seen some “if (x) played guitar in (y)” and those never cease to bring me enjoyment.
Damn I don't why (I clearly do.) but that comment about dry cymbals made me angry lol I play metal and jazz and HELL YEAH dry cymbals are great as heck, it's not just a trend, every jazz players use more or less dry cymbals for bigilion years and in metal too it's not new it's not a trend
So I LOVE dry cymbals. The Meinl Byzance Extra Dry is one of my favorite lines. It's the raw cymbals that get me haha. The sheets of metal that they sell as ready-to-go cymbals
It would be nice to see them on offer as an option again on a drum kit that costs less than a kidney and half a lung at the very least. Maybe some of these companies need to narrow the number of series they have on offer (how many different ways can you really make a 6 or 7 mm thick cylinder) and expand the sizing options to offer things like "power" or "xtra" depth toms. And 14" diameter rack toms. Anyone remember those? Sure seems like the manufacturers don't.
This is exactly why I’ve gone out and bought a few Yamaha 80s and 90s kits with the 10x10 and 12x10 rack toms. Nobody plays these sizes anymore and it stands out. Also I prefer having a mounted 14 and 16 toms as opposed to floor toms.
This video is S tier. Haha. Surprisingly, I agree 100% with how you tiered everything. And props to you for actually knowing the history of the clap stack, and giving credit where it's due. That's happens way too seldom on the drumming internet!
i like the sound of the zildjian crashes and i also like the sound of the clap stack. and my next cymbal purchase will be definitly a clap stack. but the question is from zultan meinl or istanbul. its a cool sound and will work well in my set
I felt the same about raw cymbals when i still played prog rock mainly, but it's different with jazz and fusion. What a crash is supposed to sound like in your head depends on the context of what you're playing. To me, unless it's under a mic in the right setting, traditional cymbals like A Customs are just too bright for me. This is why I'm weaning out most of my traditional sounding Sabians for dark, dry, and more complex cymbals. The company doesn't matter, so long as it gets the job done.
I Play dry cymbals from Jazz to death metal. First of all i Love the sounds but another important reason is: they Just dont get too loud but are always present and fit perfekt in every mix . I am a soundguy for living and Theres nothing worse than a Drummer in a small Club, beating the sh*t Out of their bright cymbals😅 For recordings A customs or AAX might be awesome but for small Locations to 1500 people those plates kill everybodys ears...
I'm also not a bright cymbals guy. LOVE dark and dry options. But it's the raw crashes that get me haha. Thin sheets of metal that look like you could have picked them up from a factory
I like the Drumeo thing. I sometimes wonder about a specific drummer not having heard a rather famous song. But really, musicians can just as easily find themselves siloed into a particular area of focus, as anybody else can. It's not that hard to believe.
Before I watch I hope to see thees drumming trends die 1. Angling the cymbals away from you 2. Rack toms getting smaller as they go L - R not bigger. 3. Constant linear fills for the whole song. ...proceed.
Even though i already commented, i have to say another trend that needs to go away is overly large cymbals. There's a reason 14" hi hats and 20" rides have been the staple for so long, they fit in the mix. 15" hi hats can be great (my fav recording hats right now are 15" meinl foundry reserves), 22" rides are cool, but these massive 17" hats and 24-26" rides IMO are useless because they often get completely lost in the mix. They might be good for very specific recordings, but overall they're usually way too low pitched and easily get frequency masked by other instruments in the mix. From a mixing/production standpoint, the majority of cymbal frequencies should be sitting above most of the rest of the frequencies coming from other instruments in the mix. Oversized cymbals conflict a lot IME with the rest of the instruments in a mix. Plus the price on those big pies are egregious.
I get this. They tend to fit well in current contemporary worship music. But that's a very niche sound. I love my 15" hats, but I often wished I had 14" ones
What should die is the EAD10 "sound" use. A lot of videos sound exactly the same. All of them use the (very) aggressive compression setting on the ead module. It was a fun sound for a while but now its super annoying. The estepario short video sound.
What's wrong with using a Roland SPD-S or equivalent over a clap stack? You can load more sounds and it has 9 different playing surfaces. Much more versatile and space efficient than a clap stack imo.
That's true. I guess it's just nice for some drummers to just have cymbals to do the job and not worry about electronics. Hybrid setups definitely make you more versatile though. Which is also weird, because majority of pro drummers need hybrid setups, so they end up using clapstacks AND SPDs
@mxb2112-nv2lp love Shawn Crowder! Yeah for sure. I’m a HUGE fan of dry and unlatched cymbals. But I personally can’t get behind the raw ones. But it makes total sense for Sungazer to benefit from those sounds. And a lot of other jazz/fusion groups. Cos it’s all about pushing boundaries and being dangerous
@6:46 I have a gm design onyx obscure cymbal. Looks like an amoeba. Love the way it sounds as a sound effects cymbal. Goes great with my 22 istanbul China.
@brettclurdrums Sorry. I don't do Instagram. I'm an old dinosaur. But, if you want to see the actual cymbal I have, it's on Steve maxwell drums youtube channel. The one Noah is playing in the video is the one I bought from them. It's got a nice "schwahh" sound to it.
I think the drum price thing with anyone playing is mostly from dank pods, the drum thing he made a video on it and said just get whatever cheap crap you can put some nice heads and play and he showed he was playing a che set called Jin bao
3:02 i think that this guy might have meant 32nd notes like jm the drummer does a lot. I can see what he means about it not being music and feels a bit more like showing off, however there is definitely also and artistic side to it as well so im not too sure where is place it as a trend.
So i'd understand him a bit more if that was the case. But he actually linked example videos underneath, and they're all just Steve Jordan style 16th note grooves 😅
I got myself a clapstack this year, it‘s cool and makes sense but it‘s definitely not essential and frankly didn’t inspire me to play any differently. Maybe another type of stack would do the trick
That's interesting to hear! I'd also love to own one, but they literally don't exist in my country (South Africa). You have to get them imported personally as you won't find them in music stores
I don't really like that trend with people putting tons of weight on their snares until it sounds dead like a rock. I understand it can be helpful when you're playing really fast like Estepario for example, but still I really don't like it.
I've gotten a tired of the J-Dilla style broken beats, everyone trying to sound BAD :D and yes, all the ultra mega dry cymbals that sound like cardboard. Clapstacks are fine. Gospel chops are quite exhausting, yea. And many drummers combine ALL of them, j-dilla beats with ultra dry cymbals and heavy clap-stack use, with added gospel chops.
I think it’s funny, but I once went to Thomann and in the cymbal booth the Zildjian raw Crash stuck with me, i surely played it for 20 minutes and loved everything about it. But jazz drummer here, so yeah it definitely isn’t for rock or metal. Maybe Latin tho
That's interesting! I guess I've never actually played and heard them in real life. It must surely be a different experience than just hearing them through the computer
Dry/unlathed/raw cymbals kinda drive me mad lol, I know it's a taste thing but they just sound bad to my ears, specially the latter two, or I'm just salty I can't afford funny expensive cymbals lol
I think a lot of drummers that use clap stacks use them poorly. I mean, no rules and all that, but to my ears the clap stack thing is really annoying to hear most times. A dry "thwack" out of place in a song just sounds bad to me. They aren't versatile at all either.
What about clickbait titles like the one on this video? Those need to go. Also, ranking videos should go as well. By the way, "gospel chops" wasn't started by Eric Moore. Ever hear of Tony Royster Jr.? And I believe "TheRealGospelChops" channel tried to stop others from using that term.
Even if guys like @ElEsteparioSiberiano are very impressive. It annoys me how they rush the tempo och overplay everything. Drums should be apart of music and not a competition. Can't stop watching the shit though.
people posting videos of little kids playing songs not so great but going on and on and on about the kid... that needs to stop! if a kid is killing it alright, I get it... oh and if you are a parent of a young female drummer posting covers tell her to put some damn clothes on! Thank you!
@@andersdo2925 if my kid was smashing it to a song, I’d be mega proud. But I get where you’re coming from. I get sent those videos a lot and I rarely get excited about it. But I’ll for sure obnoxiously post everywhere about my own son smashing it on the kit one day. How could you not
I think the drumeo thing is more about them showing the most entry level basic bby shi to pro drummers, it's not even for fans of the band. Really? Enter sandman out of all metallica songs? To Larnell Lewis? Pick something interesting at least idk man. It's not something to be mad about, it just feels like a waste.
@@HenryGriggs95 Yeah I agree with this. Also, they're casting the widest reach which gets more people interested about drumming. I think Drumeo's biggest goal is to create NEW drummers. And I dig that
Don't forget the please notice me pseudo Rockstar basement drummers. They have their equipment all set up even with stage lighting. And they play along to simple songs. One guy has s kit the size of Terry bozio's . But he plays basic pop songs that can be done with 3 pieces 😅. And the people who set up on their front lawn. It's cute when you're 12 years old. Pathetic when you're 30.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT " DRUMEO NEVER HEARD AND PLAY ALONG TOO THAT SONG AS A DRUM LESS TRACK " CAUSE THEY PLAY THEM LIKE SOME OF THE BANDS BIGGEST HITS AND SINGLE THAT GOT OVER PLAYED ON RADIO AND MUSIC VIDEOS ( THE ONLY WAY THEY GONNA GET ME TO BELIEVE IT'S A FIRST TIME HEARING NEVER HEARD IS PLAY THEM SPANISH OR FRENCH OR EVEN ITALIAN SONGA THAT WEREN'T EVEN BIGG HITS OR SINGLES AT ALL TOSS THEM A REAL CURVE BALL THAT EVEN THE VIEWER'S DON'T EVEN KNOW EXISTED ) AND WATCH HOW THE VIEWS AND CONCEPT OF THESE VIDEO'S REALLY CHANGE THE GAME FOR DRUMEO NOW THAT WOULD BE BELIEVABLE AND VERY VERY INTERESTING TO WATCH

What about clickbait titles like the one on this video? Those need to go.
Also, ranking videos should go as well.
By the way, "gospel chops" wasn't started by Eric Moore. Ever hear of Tony Royster Jr.? And I believe "TheRealGospelChops" channel tried to stop others from using that term.
I never said it was started by Eric. Just used him as an example of how long the term has been around.
Dennis Chambers mentored Tony
Even if guys like @ElEsteparioSiberiano are very impressive. It annoys me how they rush the tempo och overplay everything. Drums should be apart of music and not a competition. Can't stop watching the shit though.
I love unlathed cymbals
me too! Just not the raw ones that are like a step behind unlathed haha
Why in 2025 do RUclipsrs continue to expose their big microphone when it is enough to install it "out of frame"🤭
It was given to me by Shure so I literally have to show it haha
metric modulation tiktok trend
That's a great trend imo
people posting videos of little kids playing songs not so great but going on and on and on about the kid... that needs to stop! if a kid is killing it alright, I get it... oh and if you are a parent of a young female drummer posting covers tell her to put some damn clothes on! Thank you!
@@andersdo2925 if my kid was smashing it to a song, I’d be mega proud. But I get where you’re coming from. I get sent those videos a lot and I rarely get excited about it.
But I’ll for sure obnoxiously post everywhere about my own son smashing it on the kit one day. How could you not
I think the drumeo thing is more about them showing the most entry level basic bby shi to pro drummers, it's not even for fans of the band. Really? Enter sandman out of all metallica songs? To Larnell Lewis? Pick something interesting at least idk man. It's not something to be mad about, it just feels like a waste.
i suppose for me the interesting part is seeing their take on these songs
@@HenryGriggs95 Yeah I agree with this. Also, they're casting the widest reach which gets more people interested about drumming. I think Drumeo's biggest goal is to create NEW drummers. And I dig that
Moises is a great tool for removing drums from songs
Paint dude needs to go!
Don't forget the please notice me pseudo Rockstar basement drummers. They have their equipment all set up even with stage lighting. And they play along to simple songs.
One guy has s kit the size of Terry bozio's . But he plays basic pop songs that can be done with 3 pieces 😅. And the people who set up on their front lawn. It's cute when you're 12 years old. Pathetic when you're 30.
@@luigisavoia2401 outside drumming just hits different though. I think it’s something every drummer should try
You all are wrong. most views = right. Capitalism.
tell me more haha
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT " DRUMEO NEVER HEARD AND PLAY ALONG TOO THAT SONG AS A DRUM LESS TRACK " CAUSE THEY PLAY THEM LIKE SOME OF THE BANDS BIGGEST HITS AND SINGLE THAT GOT OVER PLAYED ON RADIO AND MUSIC VIDEOS
( THE ONLY WAY THEY GONNA GET ME TO BELIEVE IT'S A FIRST TIME HEARING NEVER HEARD IS PLAY THEM SPANISH OR FRENCH OR EVEN ITALIAN SONGA THAT WEREN'T EVEN BIGG HITS OR SINGLES AT ALL TOSS THEM A REAL CURVE BALL THAT EVEN THE VIEWER'S DON'T EVEN KNOW EXISTED )
AND WATCH HOW THE VIEWS AND CONCEPT OF THESE VIDEO'S REALLY CHANGE THE GAME FOR DRUMEO NOW THAT WOULD BE BELIEVABLE AND VERY VERY INTERESTING TO WATCH
