Your Favorite Rockstar's Drummer – Insight From a Legend
Mick Jagger, Tom Petty, Elton John, Hans Zimmer, Morris Day, Johnny Cash, and the dudes from South Park? This guy has played drums for them all. With more than a few decades of performing at the top level, Curt Bisquera knows what it takes to evolve to keep a career intact. During this chat, Curt gives us a ton of good insight on what it takes to launch a career in music today, given his wealth of experience. I hope you learn something!

More on Curt here!
Curt Bisquera started out touring live with bands like Morris Day and the Time, where he perfected the impossibly difficult groove on “777-9311.” From there, he went onto studio success by playing on hits like Bonnie Raitt’s “Something To Talk About.” Shortly thereafter, Curt joined Mick Jagger to record his Wandering Spirit album, touring afterward in support. Curt’s career only continued to soar from there.
He’s played drums on many incredible albums, like Tom Petty’s soundtrack for She’s The One. Curt’s also played on movie soundtracks produced by Hans Zimmer, even having joined Vinnie Colaiuta and John Robinson on a drum-centric recording for a Jason Bourne movie soundtrack.
While this studio work makes for one impressive drumming resume on its own, Curt’s live performances are just as incredible. He’s played Madison Square Garden with Elton John, performing alongside legendary drummer Nigel Olsson. He’s gone around the world with France’s largest grossing artist, Johnny Hallyday. And he’s joined countless other chart-topping musicians on the road too.
During this chat, Curt gives us a ton of good insight on what it takes to launch a career in music today, given his wealth of experience. I hope you learn something!

Pro Drummers SWEAR By Six Lug Snare Drums...But Why?
Переглядів 16 тис.5 місяців тому
When you think of professional snares, you probably think they have ten lugs, right? If it's good enough for top-of-the-line drums from Tama, Pearl, Ludwig, and the rest of the big manufacturers, then it's gotta be the best, right? I'd like to challenge that idea today and show you what you can do with a solid six-lug snare (even if it was the snare that eight year old kids used in the 1960s)! ...

    Each cymbals will sound different especially when they're hand hammerred different of the USA companies they're machine hammered I personally prefer hand hammerred love Turkish cymbals now the Master Murat Diríl it's using Bronze ( B) 27 his cymbals are high end with an unique sound.

    • @timbofromkeno
      @timbofromkeno 2 дні тому

      Hey Uzziel! Yes, I like handmade cymbals too. I think there is something special about that. And Diril makes some incredible stuff. I know there are a few manufacturers who make high tin content cymbals in the B25 (25% tin) range, but I don't know if anyone is doing anything higher than what Diril does. So so interesting!

He's know it's building with Bronze 27 and the quality and sound it's impressive the beauty you can custom made them in term on weight finish , logo etc . I've been contacted and the prices he had provide was tremendously low , I used to be Diríl Cymbals distribuitor for years and I learned about cymbals along the way. Thank you for always make this amazing videos.

    I dont think i ever saw a matching r.c. snare like that.(red) most were steel.back then anyway... Pretty sweet. I have a 90's r.c. kit. That i ordered in 91 ish. Still in love with them. Im only 2 hrs from u (Near the valley). Cool video . I always stuck with remo pins on it but recently tried a evans eq3 frosted on the b.d. (22×18) holy hell! Its like a whole new drum...fell back in love with it all over again. May switch batters soon.....any suggestions?

    • @timbofromkeno
      @timbofromkeno 3 дні тому

      Hey! Yeah, that wood snare is so so special. Such a great drum. And with the tom batters, if you're into more of a mid- and low end-heavy sound, I really like the Evans Onyx top and bottom. But if you're looking for something like a Pinstripe, but just more modern, you should definitely try the Evans EC2S Frosted heads on top. They're awesome!

I turned to 8 after never being able to get a decent more vintage tone with 10 lugs, which to me just sound too clean and controlled, too professional precise. I like 60s 70s music best, not 80s to modern, unless it's modern groups doing vintage styled music, which is a big thing in many genres more lately. They seem to either go w/ 6 or 8 or pull a ringo by placing a tea towel over it.

    The snare shown in the video appears to be a yd-9000 manufactured between 1984 and the first half of 1985. From the second half of 1985, the name was changed to recording custom, and the design of the hoop and snappy guards changed.

      I was curious, thanks. When i ordered my kit there wasnt an option for matching snares. Only steel in the r.c.'s (1991-92) ...been looking for an older r.c. snare since i had several snares when i ordered i just got the steel r.c. 14×5:" i believe, but traded it for a Tama piccolo....opps.

      Check out my Instagram for plenty of examples. I never use samples. While they can be super helpful when you’re putting a record together, I find it to be too tedious to use when I’m trying to pump out a ton of videos for socials.

    You’re right I have a cheap 10”x6” 6 lugs . I upgraded the heads and the rim more thick . And add a more wire strap. Now it’s my favorite. I don’t play my 14”x 5” Lugwig quest any more. I can also tune it the same sound as the Lugwig. I have more different sounds now in one 10”x 6” snare. I want to update the lugs next. This cheap snare is a Griffin co. Got it in Amazon got the zebra gray and black color to match my black Yamaha drum. This week I’ll get the wood rim shoot that connect to the rim. So I can get a good rim shoot. Thank you for the video.

    I picked up an ancient Gretsch 5.5" COB while touring Europe years back for about £20. It was just the hoops & shell, needed a lot of fixing, but ended up being my most versatile snare. It had weird hoops, not sure if they were very heavy stamped hoops or very light cast, but they made it a perfect all rounder. I loved the strainer mechanism too, bomb proof & easy to work. Modern Gretsch have thicker cast hoops, not the same.

      @@timbofromkeno you got offered all sorts all the time. My biggest regret is when I played a gig near the Paiste factory in Switzerland, took a wander round town next day, found a music shop & checked it out. They had a pair of blue label 14" 602 sound edge hihats, used, £140 (they were £200 new at the time so not that cheap tbh). They looked new to me so I asked the shop guy about them & he says he goes to the factory regular, these were the quality control pair paste used to compare all others to, but the range discontinued now so paiste sold him them. I asked to try them & mate, they were amazing, just perfect. I could have afforded them, but only just, & they weren't what I really needed for gigging at the time, so I backed out. Imagine what they'd be worth now tho, cos blue label 602 turned out to be peak paiste & the 14" sound edge the most iconic model. I didn't know that then though... Oh well!

Please don't take offence at any of my comments, the 80s/90s were a revolutionary time in drums, living through it as a jobbing pro was crazy, every year everything changed lol & everybody wanted the newest sound. If you weren't rich or sponsored you had to be real careful how you spent your cash. Like with the Yamaha 9000, first time I sat behind a set I thought "these are the best made drums I've ever seen". Then I played em & thought "but I hate them". They just didn't do it for me man. I've said elsewhere about Sonor though, never owned any but touring Europe I got to play a few & they are a blast, nothing like them. That crazy 12 lugs snare, I was playing a gig in a ski resort, light music really, a nothing gig, but I said to the guys "I'm playing a solo at the end of song X tonight, don't try stop me" cos I just had to take it for a ride lol.

    Old Tama superstar wood snares not only sounded great they could take unbelievable amounts of abuse.
