"Metal to metal contact should always be avoided" a few seconds later: "just put your keys on the cymbal"
I was thinking the same thing 😂😂
😂😂😂
c'mmon, you dont compare this, do you....
That‘s exactly what i thought too 😂😂😂
but it’s much better to have contact on the surface of the cymbal than at the edges or the confer hole. contact at the hole/edge is much more likely to lead to cracking which can break ur cymbal which is much worse. but with all of these just make sure it’s not causing damage.
Drummer at the front door of his house: "Where my keys at?"
Hahaha
Don't you mean, "Where are my keys?" (proper grammar, please)
@@paulmaringelli5536 why so proper... sir
@@paulmaringelli5536 You problem?
@@paulmaringelli5536 true and surely drummers should be judged on how good they are at drumming not grammar
the licc in the synth line at 1:10 ????
lmao yes
Those Sabian cymbals are beautiful!
Can’t go wrong with the HHX range!
Mihai Drums yes indeed! I play the evolution hhx series except the ride , I use the same ride used in this video the hhx groove ride and I love it so much! Highly recommended for a bright ride sound with great crash ability, the crash on it is actually better than most regular crash cymbals, it could actually be my all time favorite cymbal .
I’m a huge AAX fan, I guess since I’m more into progressive rock, but alot of their product lines are fantastic (HHX included).
That bass drum gives me goosebumps
...and if you don't have your keys, you can use the carburetor from a 62 Plymouth.
4:29 I could listen to this John Bonham ‘Fool in the Rain’ beat forever!!!
Clean snare sound!
agreed, sounds dope
Was wowed by the Purdie Shuffy!
Love it! Didn't see that coming!
was also impressed by this
Good Purdie Shuffle for sure!
For this reason the drums are my favorite instrument
Nice video, great kit, awesome sound, smooth beat also. After 30+ years as a pro in L.A., I am retired but still bang on my Rolands...
i have a small crack in a crash of mine, drill a 3-4mm hole at the end of the crack so it dousn't tear any further and you have a cymbal with extended sustain
obviously taping works on rides and hi-hats too people, used to do that to my ride when i played live at small venues, to control the sustain and volume.
For ease of removal, put a crease in the middle of the piece of tape, like "_|_" so it pulls right off.
Love the Purdie/Porcaro tribute ;)
holds rhythm very well; pleasant sound; holds sticks and brush work perfectly
try putting your keys in between the hi hat cymbals . sounds good
Most of all I love how the snare sounds in this vid.
Nice reminder and money saving advice👍
Very cool 👍
When ur snare starts playing 😭🤤
I liked more the standard sound, but surely I can try your suggestions
I grabbed a pair of Jeff Porcaro signature Regal Tip sticks per the advice of some random forum when I was looking up how to get less stick sound from my hats when recording. I was kind of shocked at how good these sticks rebound and their distinct sound they get on impact..I kind of thought sticks couldn't make that much a difference but these sticks themselves get q very different tone when you tap them together than any other sticks, the wood is very hard and has a nice finish and to my surprise they indeed made my hi hats sound much better in recordings. I recently ordered another signature series from Regal Tips to compare but the Jeff Porcaros are currently my favorite sticks OAT.
Gracias bro
that bassdrum sound is amazing dude!!!!!! one hack to sound like that please!!!
🔥🥁great video
this changed my life
Unprocessed yoooo love your new album 🤣
My keys haha~~ genius idea!
Very nice...
very good tips.
Nice vid and nice drummer!, that edit 4:56 was on point tho
I like your hacks lol. It's as if you made this video just for me. Long story short I have a drumset that is missing the felts and needed a quick fix. Plus I was curious to how to give my cymbals a more sizzle sound. For when I record them. Funny tho that you used your keys as I've seen my uncle do this trick before. Real talented drummer lol. So I'm always looking for ways to compliment his playing.
Thanks for your Using My Music // Keep up the fresh & Spacey content ✊🏽✨🙏🛸
fr how do you get the bass drum to sound like that
tune it
LOL!!! You can dry out the sound of your cymbals with a cloth.... That's practically some functional Willie Wonka style logic there.... 😆
Flip a cymbal upsidedown and put it on your snare, makes an interesting sound. Could just be my cymbal idk
Thanks for the tip, I shall try that.
What’s in the bass drum?? 🤯🤯 How did you get such a deep clean hump out of the bass drum?
hudson that’s hax!
hudson thank you, i’ve been looking for this!
After hearing the serious gate and compression on a Ludwig Black Beauty in another video, I bet that the thud comes from basic EQ, gate, and compression.
Simple dampening and some light EQ can do wonders.
put some blankets inside the bass drum. It'll do wonders or your sound.
What preamps did you use? Sounds really good
What kind of hhx ride did you use? I love it! Thank you
love the snare
I Saw few jazz drummers who had a hi hat with the bottom larger than the top.
What's the reason of that ?
Sound gets P H A T
I would assume it offers a cleaner sound when closing the hat
I think Elvin Jones used a top 15 with bottom 16.I have the same set up,cause I wanted to hear it.It offers more contact area and the CHICK is stronger.I have always bought several pairs of used Zildjian 14 new beats/quick beats and mixed and matched hoping to get LUCKY.Even throwing in Paiste sound edges too!
I use two crash cymbals as hats. Makes the sound "PHAT" and also gives it a deeper, less "pingy" sound.
I just push my tongue against the back of my teeth. Back and forth and blow quick burst of air out for my high hat sound lol
im still wondering how you get your cymbals so shiny and clean looking!
If you change your sticks out you will get a completely new cymbal tone. For example a thin timbale stick compared to a 5B stick is massively different
Barrel tip sticks to help
Nice video, stright to the point, good info no BS!
Nice
4:30 These Chains By TOTO
That's the Purdie Shuffle
Ain’t no TOTO. That’s Bernard Purdie, brother.
Joe Santa Maria I know, even Porcaro said so☺️
I used to tape more coins on a second ride. It seemed interesting at the time... I wouldn't do that now, however
Is the 8mm diameter the diameter inside the tube or with the tube included?
Was that the beat to Grapevine Fires by Death Cab For Cutie? It sounds very similar. I love the composition of that song.
It's a shuffle pattern. Grapevine Fires has a really unique sticking, but the sound is very similar. If you were in a cover band, just about any shuffle would suffice.
Reed Alexandra there are several notable shuffle patterns, but this one sounded like the purdie. Look up Bernard Purdie Shuffle. It looks and sounds way easier than it is.
Personally I like to use a short necklace for a riveted effect on cymbals, it works just as well and also looks cooler than a piece of a toilet
That snare is beautiful. What is it?
What series HHX are those? They sound beautiful! I’m in love with the hats. Thanks
Ariel Alvarado Groove hats and ride.you can see it in the video. Not sure about the crash
Groove hats, groove ride, and x-treme crash :)
Is it better to buy symbols cingular or in pack? Is there a difference in the quality of sound?
what size is the snare drum that you use here?
I use scotch tape that doesn’t dampen the cymbal and a nickel.
CANY ANYONE TELL ME WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE MATERIALS TO USE TO CREATE THAT CRASH CYMBAL SOUND PLZ??
I want all those drum sets the ones that I saw now
I'm confused about the ride and crash cymbals. Don't these rides sound a lot like crashes?
Medida del snare? 13"?
5:05 nice sound
4:28 purdie shuffle!!!!
It almost sounded like "fool in the rain" by Led Zeppelin
what is the name of the cymbals?
Is this gabe? From drum beats online?
No, it's me, Pascal, from OnlineLessons.
Are you the same guy from art of drumming?
I want theme now
That bass drum tho
Great tips, but geez I think that ride cymbal sounds awful
Personal preference, I know but I really dont like those HHX rides
this wholekit soundsw so sexy! and i mean the non modified version....
How do you tune your snare? 🤯
Don’t crank the resonate head and little bit of paper under the wire
Can I put tape on the bottom of a ride?
No.
Hi-Hat hack. Use the botton hat on top and the top hi-hat at the bottom. It will sound better.
Try a vid with b8x.... 'cymbals'...
purdie schuffle:-)
In my opinion standard sound is much better than modified.
My hi-hat always makes a noise whenever I open it up. This makes it really annoying to use the foot pedal. Any idea on how to fix this.
Either the top hi-hat or bottom piece may be dented
You're always going to get noise just by moving them. Make sure the bottom hat is tilted and that your clutch isn't set too high. Too much distance between them can cause resonance. They, as the dude above suggests, could be dented and uneven.
Lil' Aaronboy there’s a crack in one of the cymbals.
Andy McMillan they’re very old and I got them used so maybe that’s why?
@@_c3a3m_88 I think you should get new ones since cracked cymbals are dangerous
Where can I buy that "Ching Ring"? Am I right with the spelling?
pwede ka mag diy nyan sir pwede gamitin pinit pit na tansan
g00gle
Ching Ring by Meinl Percussion. You got it right.
Y did u hold ur stick upside down???
Some drummers do that in order to get more attack
What we're the drumsticks that you were using
They're Vick Firth. Judging by the colour, they're either hickory or maple. Maple is the softest, hickory a nice middle ground and oak is the hardest. They're excellent sticks and all I ever use.
I also meant to state that the video was good, but I really needed to stress the harshness of sticking gum, goo, glue (whatever), on a cymbal. Otherwise, a very cool video.
Why? It won't damage the cymbal
Save money. Need some "cymbal sleeves," get some milkshake size straws in a fast-food place. Cut the straws to 1/4 inch size.
Is this a computer-assisted voice??
I put oil on cymbals because I be cookeeeen🥁🦈🙊🙉🙈
i wish that my snair will sound like that
how about this hack:
TIGHTEN YOUR RIDE CYMBAL TO MAX AS IT SHOULD BE, WHAT KIND OF HIPSTER PLAY WITHOUT THE KNOBS ON?
Right!
Hack #1 buy good cymbals that already sound good. My shitty cymbals dont sound any better with a bathtub chain.
Shaking my head.
But I don't have drum 😂
i poop on my cymbals
This video should be named: Buy Zildjian A-Series and you're good to go
Unless you use your creativity, you can re hammer and lathe cymbals pretty easily.
Two things I never figured out, why drummers would do that:
1. Sizzle cymbals, to me it just sounds like a cymbal with a crack in it.
2. Tape on the underside of the cymbal, I mean COMEON, that just sounds like shit
I, as well.
i don't even have drums
Puting tape on cymbals - most stupid thing to do.
Cheaper way to get the sounds you want without spending an extra $200-$300 on a cymbal...AND no permanent damage? Smartest thing to do in my opinion.
I have a hack for you - DO NOT STICK TAPE ON YOUR CYMBALS. Those instruments, the proper ones, are not inexpensive!! If you are considering using tape on your cymbals you just bought the wrong cymbals. Sell them, and better luck when you get back to the music store next time. For those of you who disagree, why not skip the piece of tape altogether and drop a nice glob of epoxy on your cymbal? Better??
Wow why so triggered over a piece of tape? It’s a big piece of metal I’m sure a small strip of painters tape isn’t going to hurt it.
@@christopherlockwood9321 I don't like to foul woods and metals with unnatural materials. Pretty much that simple. Cymbals are full of grooves, and tape gum/glue is not a part of the alloy. It's a foreign material, and it has to get trapped in those grooves. Yes, you can clean it, but why? It's just a personal thing, I guess. I never have, nor will, use tape on my cymbals. It's gotta' be a bitch to clean off, and it's a contaminate. If I had to mute a cymbal I'd take a piece/strip of very fine cloth, punch a hole in it to fit over the cymbal stand threaded rod, and drape it over the cymbal. You can mute them without using sticky gums and glues. Not to mention that beautiful cymbals look like shit with pieces of tape stuck on them. Polished, shining, shimmering cymbals look and sound beautiful. Putting tape on them is akin to putting lipstick on a pig.
Different things work for different people...
@@angelbethea645 absolutely. It's an opinion...and we all have some.
