He’s a pretty huge influence of mine lol glad you feel like I got close!

Thanks a bunch!

it’s mutual, they love me back 😘

@@AdamSoucyDrums cool. Nikko McBrain and you have lots in common, but I think he uses like 5 more than you. My question - why so many? How many possible different sounds are needed?

@@guyfrattallone6029 it’s all about colors and differences in pitch for me. I try to “mirror” the phrasing in the other instruments or vocals that are happening in the arrangement a lot of the time, and it’s also just nice to have a wide variety of textures to play with! a crash in a heavy section might feel more aggressive if I hit a china cymbal with it, or it might be cool to only use smaller effects cymbals as accents in the verse of a song if the dynamics are lower. all depends on context and I’d rather have the options!

man it is SO situationally dependent. I guess I'd consider everything from 5k and below to be fair game, things can get really harsh in the upper regions when you're doing this. but even then it really depends on the kind of distortion you're using; it might sound fine full range! generally I'm not even really thinking of the actual frequencies, I’m more focused on abstract feelings of “distance” and “size” as my two guiding principles. think of it this way, if I want to convey something that’s “huge” but “far away” I wouldn’t limit the range of the filter to the telephone-ish 1-2k region like I did here, I’d focus on a much broader area that includes a lot more of the big sounding low-mids while still cutting out a lot of the highs to push the effect “away” from me. if I want something small and closer up, I’d do the opposite. these are always snap judgements I’m making in the moment, but in most cases the goal is to contrast whatever the surrounding context is. if the song is already sounding big it makes more sense to me to shrink things down in a moment like this. when we did “up to here” I wanted the opposite! blown out, far away sounding drums looming in the background over the tight arrangement we had going on in the foreground. it’s a lot to think about!

These are the Promark TXMHW sticks, Matt Halpern's signature model! They're really pretty heavy and a little front-weighted but I really like the fat sound I'm able to get from the larger tips.

Thanks Michael! Glad you enjoy it 😊

Thanks Curt!

That is a Natal Hand Hammered 14x5.5 snare drum! The other two pieces are some repurposed no-name shells finished and assembled by yours truly! ✌️

Maryelen Guagliardo I’ve been getting asked this question quite a bit recently. I’ll be transcribing it soon, DM me, let’s talk!
