I am going get 14x8 alluminium snare Sonor Kompressor. Hope we get new videos
This reminds me of my cousin Vinny “ahhh everything that guy just said is bullshit thank you”
What are you like 6'5? That 24 looks like a 22
Haha! 6'3"
San Antonio here 😃👊
yes, i agree-bigger cymbals are where it's at. never mess with any crash smaller than a 18inch-avoid big thick loud projection crashes,unless you got the touch and work them,great video and love your approach.
This NEVER gets old... I could watch it over and over and over.... wait... I HAVE watched it over and over and over!
This has been a huge help 🙏
If Denzel Washington was a drummer. Great video.
I just saw this at the end of David Bennett's video, and I literally fell out of my chair laughing.
Great video! However, that virgin kick has a subtly different resonance. It might just be that they’re two different drums, but it does sound better. There’s more fundamental tone and fullness to my ear. YMMV, and yes, it is probably subtle enough that most people will never tell the difference. And your points about setup are well stated. Thanks for the effort!
It doesnt matter. If that was the case nobody would port their head. It makes zero difference. Whose really wanting a tom to ring out for 4 seconds. Thats when ppl start to complain that their drums sre too ringy
It does matter depending on the song and genre....
Toms mounted on the bass drum 100%, 30-45 minutes from load in to sound man putting mics on the kit (5 drums, 3 cymbals, and hats).
matt garstkas cymbals are a little too dry for my taste. great drummer though
"that's why you're broke" is what gets me Every single time; the delivery is absolute perfection
Brian, is that you on drums on the background track?? Agree on 8x14 drums, I've always liked them.
Phil Collins has entered the chat.... ua-cam.com/video/8OIkw9kJ0u4/v-deo.html

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I WANNA PLAY IN 79/88
Watch Idris Muhammad do it on Walter Bishop Jr’s Party Time (1968)
There are Macedonian (Balkan) beats in 13/8 ua-cam.com/video/NMi6zk5sU08/v-deo.htmlsi=Hew_qHoGIYo5Siqe ua-cam.com/video/Fzpecnn9Yt4/v-deo.htmlsi=zs0NZBwNUy_l-NRx
Thank you for sharing! Happy Drumming!!!
Love this video. Any suggestions on a 14x8 snare for a beginner drummer I e me
Hi Brian thank you for your prompt reply. I generally play, pop, pop rock, funk, hard rock, a bit of heavy metal.. not a lot ...no death metal etc. I saw the new Mapex MPX 14 x 8 snare. Since I use a Mapex Venus I thought th3 Mapex MPX would be a good one to go to . But I'm open to suggestions. After all its all about the tone , the sound etc
It's like 123 123 12 12 123
First time on your channel! Saw this after looking for reviews of SPL 468 Series 8X14 snare. Got one from MGR for $79! I owned a Tama 8X14 birch snare decades ago and have regretted it ever since! 😢 Thanks for the vid...would love to see a vid of you playing all of your 8X14's!
What cymbals are those? They sound perfect ❤
Thank you very much! The crashes are Sabian HH Vanguard 21" Thin crash, Sabian HH Vanguard 22" Thin crash and a 24" Sabian King Ride.
😂😂 Love this video
Genesis you dumbass. 13/8 everywhere.
Do you ever demo these snares? Please dude?
Hey man, so sorry for the late reply. I'm just now seeing this. I could demo what snares I have left, I sold off 10 of my 8x14 snare drums and only have 4 left.
Thanks man
All the ska and skapunk band's in the 90's had piccolo snares, if you didn't know they were a ska band before you saw them the piccolo always gave it away 🤣🤣
Just got my Ludwig 14x8” with a 30 pure sound strand. It is all the difference! Awesome video!
The only video about 13/8 I can really understand. Thanks!
Damn i didnt know Denzel Washington was a good drummer
Since the name of the pedal relates to its unique beater return system, what is superior about its (beater return action), compared to the return action of the common system of returning the beater?
Brian mendes here and you are also Brian mendes
I got the direct drive model.
Succinct, accurate, informative. The guide we need!
There we go. I found it Brain. 😂😅 I'll share it with all my muso buddies.
I will never not think this is funny 😂 0:43
I come back to watch this every once in a while if I need a laugh. Thank you for this gem Lmao
Were these the reso two's?
Hey James, Yes, I used the Reso Twos on this.
@@BrianTheChristopher Thanks brother! I have a big drum session coming up that Im engineering for a band Im working with, and I just about pulled the trigger on some Reso-Tones or Reso-Twos, but I figured I should wait until I have some time to experiment with them first, so I just went with Emps/Ambs for this one. Can I ask what model kit you were playing in these vids, and also did you prefer the Reso-Tones or Reso-Twos? And what were the main differences in sound/feel you noticed between the two? Thanks bro!
I found you through 13/8! You're a very tasteful and versatile drummer!
I bought Resotone 2 for batter heads on my 6 ply maple Ludwig kit a couple years ago. They definitely have a lot of sustain, too much really … they ring forever. That's a pretty easy fix with bit of muffling, however they also produce a very scooped mid-range effect on my drums … the midrange body is really quite lifeless compared to other thick heads like a Remo C. Emperor, which I went back to after several hours w/ the ResoTone 2. The Resotone sound is very bright and slappy with a lot of low end - very modern. Just not my cup of tea.
Preach!
😂😂😂😂😂 crying laughing
And who is teaching his band mates to play in 13/8……….and who is going to dance to it….Bulgarians?!?!!!
I personally don’t like to hit at the middle of snare i like to hig at the edge of the snare for that high tuning tin sound
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha. 16" crashes are splashes.
