Here's another RHCP drum cover we have that you may enjoy "Can't Stop" ua-cam.com/video/YPioqMXh-og/v-deo.html Here's another from one of our favorite bands, Red Hot Chili Peppers! This tune has been a favorite of mine for a long time. I really love the funky and yet powerful drumming by Chad Smith! We hope that you enjoy our "Otherside" drum cover! Take care and happy drumming!! Please, SHARE, LIKE and SUBSCRIBE! See you all next time!!
Great tune, I have been thinking about that one too lately! Thank you for the suggestion! I'll let you know when I am close to uploading it Jason! Take care and have a safe day!!
Hey there Drummerboy!! Thanks a ton!! Chad Smith is a ghost note extraordinaire, thanks for thinking that we did it okay! Thanks for stopping by friend!!
Hello SkyIsTheLimit and thank you for your support!! What a kind comment...many thanks!! We really appreciate you visiting our video and our channel!! Feel free to click our video tab on our channel homepage and check out some other videos when you have a chance and let us know your thoughts. Take care and have a great and safe day!!
Hey Jay, thanks brother!! Glad you liked it...Chad Smith is a pounder, one of my favorites!!! We are doing well thanks for the thoughtfulness man! We hope that you're continuing to get better as well! Thinking about you bro! Hey, I mentioned you in one of our recent videos, I hope you don't mind. 😬 I sent you a link, but it probably went to your spam section. It was the video that begins with "Possible Bad News For LDC". I just wanted to make sure you knew about it. Much love brother Jay and stay strong!
Hey many thanks brother! This is one of my favorite bands too! Thanks for the kudos on the ghost notes and ride cymbal. Glad you liked it! Take care and have a great weekend!!
Hello Veeral and thanks a million!! We really appreciate your kind words and visiting our channel for our latest video!! We hope that you consider visiting again! Take care and all the best!!
Hey AR, thanks bro!! Really appreciate your kind words! I have been wanting to cover a RHCP tune for a while, Nate beat me to the punch, with our first one! ;)
Hello my friend and thank you for your kind words and support! I really enjoyed playing music from the Chili Peppers and I am glad to know that you enjoyed our video! Hope to see you again sometime take care and have a safe day! 👍🏻😃✌🏼
I just came here to pick-up on a couple parts in the song ... now I'm discouraged in playing... LOL Nice & smooth with great lighting to match the production.
Hello my friend and thank you for checking this out! No discourage needed my friend, I'm sure you are doing a fine job! Just continue to push yourself and challenge yourself with new and creative ideas! Keep rocking it out my friend!
Very impressive at 2:49 how you blend the tom hits with the bass guitar so seamlessly but still keep the clarity of the separate tom pitches! Also enjoyed the perfectly consistent rimshots with crystal clear ghosted notes! Well done, very enjoyable!!! 👏
Hey thanks very much Matt!! I appreciate kudos man! This is the first tune that we have done in a long time to a drumless track. So I had a little more freedom with the approach to the mix and the playing. ;) Oh yeah, did you receive my e-mail? I just wanted to make sure that it made it to you. ;) Take care Matt!!
Hello johnsondrummer!! Many thanks friend! This was a fun one to work on. I have been wanting to play one of their tunes for a while, I just haven't had a chance until recently. ;)
Hey Zax!! Thanks very much bro! Glad that you enjoyed it, it was a fun one to jam! They are such a great band...I can't believe that this tune is already almost 20 years old!! That's crazy!!
Hello Albert and thanks so much!! We really appreciate your kind words and support!! Great seeing you visit our channel and we hope that you have a great day!!
This is a fine cover! I love the creative up-close candle shots, the sound is also amazing! Solid drumming as usual, great use of the ghost notes on the snare! Did you tune the snare a bit higher? It is crackin'!
Hello Paul and thanks a bunch! Glad you like the video and some of the video snippets. :-) Yes, this snare is tuned up a bit higher than normal and it's also a snare that I have not used in a while. It's a Pearl Sensitone Brass 14" x 5", love the snare. It just seem like the right fit for this Chili Peppers tune! ;)
Another very fine job here Jerimy! Nice drumming bro! I've always admired your snare sound. I'm looking for a more cracky-choppy sound similar to this one. My snare drum is a DW Collectors series maple 6x14. Any tips?
Hey Tom thanks so much friend! Man that is a great and versatile snare drum that you have! I can suggest a couple approaches and you can see if they help you to reach your desired sound/tone. ;) Please do not take any of this information as an insult in any way my friend. For all I know you may be an audio engineer. I am just starting from the ground up. ;) I have notices that you use Evans heads in your recent videos, they are great. Although I am going to recommend a Coated Remo Ambassador for this approach. Nothing against Evans heads, this is just what works for me. ;) **Products To Consider: - Coated Remo Ambassador (tuned to a high tuning) the batter head should be not as tight as the resonate head. - Using a 20 strand snare strand with a medium to high tension. - A Hazy Remo Resonate side head (tuned quite high) a couple octaves above the batter side. - To baffle: try a 2- 3in. piece of masking tape with a little fold or pleat in the middle, you may need two of these pieces since your snare is a 6 inch. This will allow for less baffling than Moon Gel, and allow the snare snappiness to be a bit more pronounced. **Micing: - Batter side mic: Your last video looks like you have the snare mic in a great place to achieve this desired sound as well. Generally when the mic diaphragm points to the edge of the head you will get a thinner sound with more overtones, and when it is placed more over the edge of the hoop and towards the center of the drum the sound will be a bit deeper and warmer. So having it towards the edge will help reach this desired sound for you. ;) - Resonate side mic: I am not sure if you use one, but if you do it will help a great deal. SM57's work great for this. Mic placement about 5 inches beneath the snares. ;) Make sure that the polarity is opposite from the batter side, this is easily overlooked at times, and will make a huge difference if it is not done at all time when double micing a snare. ;) **Mic EQ Suggestions: Batter side mic: 12 kHz high shelf boost +4db 500 - 600 Hz mid-cut at -4 to -5db 80 Hz low shelf boost +3db (see that there is a high pass filter engaged too before adding the low shelf boost) Resonate side mic: 12 kHz high shelf boost +4db 500 - 600 Hz mid-cut at -4 to -5db 80 Hz low shelf cut -12db (see that there is a high pass filter engaged too) **Helpful Tip** I would suggest that after you make any big EQ adjustments to any of your mics, make sure and check the input level. Sometimes after making these types of EQ adjustments can boost the input level on your channel depending on what type of mixer or audio interface you use. Just a good rule of thumb. We always want to be as close to "0" or unity gain as possible to have a low signal to noise floor ratio. ;) **Additional considerations** If you have an extra consider or dynamic mic try putting one up as a room mic at about 15 to 25 feet away and raise it to about 7 ft. high (if possible) and point it in the general direction of the snare drum on your kit. The higher in the air the room mic is the less low frequency and the thinner the sound. The lower the room mic is to the floor the more lower frequencies will be captured. This room mic track should be mixed in or blended in additionally and as needed to the rest of your drum tracks. It like adding your own room effect to your kit...I think that you will like it. ;) I would advise also putting a lot of reverb on it. Perhaps a nice hall or room effect reverb. When this room mic is mixed in appropriately to you taste, with your other drum tracks, you will notice the snare and other aspects of your kit open up a bit. ;) Also, play with the reverb blend amount a bit. You may find that the room mic sounds better with a ton of reverb on it and just mixed in a little bit to the rest of the kit. Or you may like it with a little less reverb and mixed in a little more with the rest of the drum tracks. You will just have to experiment a bit to reach your liking. ;) **Room Mic EQ Suggestions: 12 kHz high shelf boost +2db 5kHz mid-cut at -4 to -5db 250Hz low shelf cut -12db (see that there is a high pass filter engaged too) I hope this information will be helpful for you in some way Tom. Please let me know how it works out or if you have any other questions...contact me anytime!! ;) All the best to you and yours and may God continue to Bless you and your family!!

Thank you so much my friend, I appreciate your input a ton! Sorry about not replying sooner, but I was at work and it was quitting time on Wednesday and yesterday I was absolutely swamped (I do most of the UA-cam stuff at work). You mentioned for all you know I might be an audio engineer... No, but it seems like I'm becoming one in a hurry. I don't know if you have done much shopping for drum kits or accessories in the past but I owned and operated Drum Central Superstore brick and mortar and Drum Central Superstore Online for many years. We were the 4th largest drum shop in the U.S. with 10,000 square feet of retail space and 100 drum kits set up in playing position (Ludwig, Pearl, Tama, Yamaha, DW etc.) While I did very well with it, I also operated two other more successful businesses so about 8 years ago I shut it down to focus on those (also I was just working too much). The irony of it was that my personal drum kits were on the floor but never had the time to play because of running the businesses. Because now I have more time, 2-1/2 years ago I got back into drumming and this was not like riding a bicycle. I had to relearn everything and to this point I feel like I'm just a shadow of my former drumming self, but gaining on it every day praise the Lord! Again thank you so much for the information my friend, I can do a lot eliminations from that and there are definitely things I'm going to try... To focus it down a bit more, we have the snare drum sounding great to our ears, I say "we" because my team here that I employ are from Drum Central Superstore and are experienced drummers. We had already removed the moon gels and retuned the snare drum for this new crackier sound that I'm testing for a song I'm working on and you verified that we were on the right track for sure. Now to get it to sound that way in the DAW (Reaper). Also I'm using a Behringer XR18 audio interface, Audix mics: i5 on snare drum, D2 on 12 tom, D2 on 14 tom, D4 on 16 tom, D4 on 18 tom, D6 on each bass drum, scx-one-hc (hyper cardioid) on main hi hats, scx-one-hc on remote hi hats, scx-one-hc on ride cymbal, scx-one-hc for both the 19 china and 10 splash, scx-one-hc for both the 16 crash and 6 piggy back, scx-one-hc for both the 17 crash and 8 piggy back, scx-one-c (cardioid) for the 3-splash cluster. So according to the great info you sent, it looks like the answer may lie in adding a bottom snare mic as well as placement, then we will look at EQ in the specific bands and frequencies that you outlined. Thank you so much Jerimy undoubtedly I will talking to you again soon… God bless!
Hello Kate and thanks so much!! You may have needed that candle in the video when you were doing your recent snowy video. LOL! That video of yours was awesome! You guys put a lot of work into that, I hope that you were able to thaw out after being out in that cold weather. ;) All the best to you and yours Kate!!
Hello Gina and thanks so much!! Happy New Year to you and yours as well!! Thanks so much for visiting our channel! All the best to you all in Mexico from the Central US!

Hello Tommy Drums and thank you so very much! We appreciate your kind words and your support! Great having you visit our channel and we hope to see you again sometime soon! Take care and have a great week ahead!
Wow thanks so much! And thank you for the memorable subscription! We really appreciate everyone's support, it means a lot to us. Many thanks and we hope to see you again soon! You have a great day as well! ;)
I am glad that you asked! I thought that I had already uploaded a Drums Only version, but I had not. If you are subscibed to our channel you should get a notice soon...thanks Jean-Pierre!!
Hello Rob and that is a great question! Yes, we are. It was an idea that I had a long time ago to get two rack toms up and still have good spacing for where I like the ride to be positioned. It is tuned pretty low more like a floor tom. We are using a 10, 12 and 14 tom configuration. Here's a little secret you can try sometime to get more extended low-end out of your toms and smooth sound. Try using Remo Ambassador coated heads for your resonate heads sometime. We generally use Remo Emperor coated on the batter side. ;) Thanks for the great question Rob!
Thank you for you answer my friend. I wanna buy a Mapex Saturn to a Deep Water Maple Burl. But they are not cheap and a 5 piece configuration and adjust it like you did, one up 2 down. That is less expensive. But I wanna change this kit into an hybride e-kit. As you maybe know I'm an e-drummer. For me it isn't possible to have an acoustic kit, it's to much noise for the neighbours. :-( But I use Superior Drummer 3 and those drumsamples are awesome. But I must admid your sound is better, far better :-)
You are very welcome Rob! That sounds like an exciting idea to try out! I understand what you mean about having to monitor your noise level to keep peace and harmony with the community. I lived in an apartment for a while in my younger years and could only work on rudiments and play along with tracks on a practice pad. Unfortunately the e-kits were not as advanced at that time or perhaps I may have went that route too. ;) Wow...man thanks for the glowing comment about our sound! That is really humbling to hear. I put a lot of time in the recording, mixing and mastering process to hopefully share something nice with everyone...you made my day bro!! Keep us posted on your hybrid project and how it goes, we would love to hear it in action when the time is right! All the best Rob!!
Hello Danny and many thanks for your kind and considerate comment! We are thankful for your support for our channel! Perhaps we can help you with your podcast tunes sometime. ;) Keep us posted. Thanks Danny and all the best to you and yours in 2018!!

**Mic EQ Suggestions:
Batter side mic:
12 kHz high shelf boost +4db
500 - 600 Hz mid-cut at -4 to -5db
80 Hz low shelf boost +3db (see that there is a high pass filter engaged too before adding the low shelf boost)
Resonate side mic:
12 kHz high shelf boost +4db

80 Hz low shelf cut -12db (see that there is a high pass filter engaged too)

250Hz low shelf cut -12db (see that there is a high pass filter engaged too)
I hope this information will be helpful for you in some way Tom.
Please let me know how it works out or if you have any other questions...contact me anytime!! ;)
All the best to you and yours and may God continue to Bless you and your family!!

We had already removed the moon gels and retuned the snare drum for this new crackier sound that I'm testing for a song I'm working on and you verified that we were on the right track for sure. Now to get it to sound that way in the DAW (Reaper). Also I'm using a Behringer XR18 audio interface, Audix mics: i5 on snare drum, D2 on 12 tom, D2 on 14 tom, D4 on 16 tom, D4 on 18 tom, D6 on each bass drum, scx-one-hc (hyper cardioid) on main hi hats, scx-one-hc on remote hi hats, scx-one-hc on ride cymbal, scx-one-hc for both the 19 china and 10 splash, scx-one-hc for both the 16 crash and 6 piggy back, scx-one-hc for both the 17 crash and 8 piggy back, scx-one-c (cardioid) for the 3-splash cluster. So according to the great info you sent, it looks like the answer may lie in adding a bottom snare mic as well as placement, then we will look at EQ in the specific bands and frequencies that you outlined. Thank you so much Jerimy undoubtedly I will talking to you again soon… God bless!

Tab?
Sorry my friend, but I do not have any tab on this tune. Thank you for checking it out and asking us Igor. Take care and have a great day!
Hey Jerimy I do have a question about your kit configuration. Are you using your 12inch Tom as your first floortom?😎
Hello Rob and that is a great question! Yes, we are. It was an idea that I had a long time ago to get two rack toms up and still have good spacing for where I like the ride to be positioned. It is tuned pretty low more like a floor tom. We are using a 10, 12 and 14 tom configuration. Here's a little secret you can try sometime to get more extended low-end out of your toms and smooth sound. Try using Remo Ambassador coated heads for your resonate heads sometime. We generally use Remo Emperor coated on the batter side. ;)
Thanks for the great question Rob!
Thank you for you answer my friend. I wanna buy a Mapex Saturn to a Deep Water Maple Burl. But they are not cheap and a 5 piece configuration and adjust it like you did, one up 2 down. That is less expensive. But I wanna change this kit into an hybride e-kit. As you maybe know I'm an e-drummer. For me it isn't possible to have an acoustic kit, it's to much noise for the neighbours. :-( But I use Superior Drummer 3 and those drumsamples are awesome. But I must admid your sound is better, far better :-)
You are very welcome Rob! That sounds like an exciting idea to try out! I understand what you mean about having to monitor your noise level to keep peace and harmony with the community. I lived in an apartment for a while in my younger years and could only work on rudiments and play along with tracks on a practice pad. Unfortunately the e-kits were not as advanced at that time or perhaps I may have went that route too. ;)
Wow...man thanks for the glowing comment about our sound! That is really humbling to hear. I put a lot of time in the recording, mixing and mastering process to hopefully share something nice with everyone...you made my day bro!!
Keep us posted on your hybrid project and how it goes, we would love to hear it in action when the time is right!
All the best Rob!!
