Thanks so much! I wish I could do this every gig to be honest, just to show you all what the processes are like from gig to gig. But lots of times I can’t record. But will when I can! 🙏🏽 thanks for the encouragement
Just watched Haze live with Nas and the National Symphony Orchestra - He was a GREAT surprise and COMMANDED stage presence while performing and being illuminated in the performance as well. For my first live symphony and second concert experience, I am forever grateful. PS thanks to Nas’s lights guy (Mike) for telling me your name because I wouldn’t have found your page so fast!
Awesome video and always amazing sounding drums Haze! Keep up the great work! Being a female drummer guys always wonder how I tune my drums so well. I tell them that I too tune to my ears and they are always surprised. Love ya, brother!❤❤
Awesome, so glad to see your star rising. You're a great player and your videos make me miss "gigging large". Lately I've been playing the smaller clubs and theaters.
Blessings Bill! I appreciate you for tuning in! And man, as long as you’re doing what you love that’s what matters yuhknow! I have no doubt you can get back out there and play big shows if you wanted! 🙏🏽
8" Toms are so fucking awesome! I would love to tune and play the whole set. Tuning and especially fine tuning to perfection became somewhat like an obsession to me. And what I love the most about this video is the tuning itself. Most drummers nowadays seem to aim for a quite low tuning. And sometimes it gets out of hand in a way where toms are not only indistinguishable in the mix but not hearable! I love the pitch and the tone of the drums. It's a matter of taste. I get that. But this dude is capable of actually tuning a drumset! I love everything about this! But it's fair to say that high quality drums are a lot easier to tune than cheap material. Edit: turn of the fucking wires bro!! 😅
Thanks a lot! Tuning is something that I feel we should all study and practice as drummers. And yeah of course anything of a higher quality should be better and easier to manage. but I feel like if you can tune, you can tune any drum to sound good… but if not, having a higher quality drum won’t just make your tuning magically sound good. We understand that a drum is a drum and doesn’t sound like anything until we put the key to the tension rod. Higher dollar drum or lower dollar drum can produce the same note, but often the tone will be different, resonance, etc. and Everyone has their own tuning method. Snares on or off, to notes, whatever it is. In my opinion, As long as the drum sounds good, then hey! Have a great gig haha
@@Haze_amaze_ I'm with you on that brother. Tuning a drum is as important as tuning every other instrument. A lot of practice goes into what it means to work with the material. You have the shells themselves. They are made out of wood that resonates in a particular way. But this is just the beginning. Because then you have the rims, which can vary in material, quality, thickness and weight. A flanged hoop will make a tremendous difference to a diecast hoop. And of course the skins are of importance too. This is where practice and experience turn into knowledge: because the experience with different skins (coated, clear, 1 ply, 2 ply etc.) is what makes the sound of a drum to your sound. But this takes time. When I talk to drummers, who have pain with the sound of their drums, it turns out to be quite a similar experience they went through: they don't spend enough time and focus on how to get the sound they want to have. I spend hours and hours just sitting in my room, tuning my drums and listening to them. This now gives me the possibility to tune any drum to my likes. Keep it up!
I generally have my bottom snare head tuned tighter than the top. I have a course out on my site www.hazeamaze.com and a short version on fine tuning my drums here on UA-cam
Question here for sound engineers or anyone who knows, while doing sound check for toms, do you prefer to have the snares off to hear the toms only or snare on to take it in consideration, as it's going to be on for 98% of the show probably. Its probably just a detail but im curious...
I’ve never heard an engineer ask me to turn the snares off while checking drums. It’s like you said, the snares are on for a majority of the show (most times the whole show in my case) so I’m also curious to see if any engineers ask for snares to be turned off ever
Question: Did you ever consider using a drum dial for tuning I've found (After 25 years) that it cuts tuning time in half and they are always "Pitch Perfect" in 1/2 the time of tuning by ear! Just a suggestion...
@@lanceschultz7132 everyone has their own tuning methods. If that’s your thing, then alrighty! I tune my drums off of the kit before I have them set up as a drumset. Then when I put them together I fine tune them. Because tuning always changes when the whole kit comes together. But whatever works best for you, definitely continue to do that!
@Haze_amaze_ i wasnt trying to be a smart ass, i was curious if there was a reason. Like, to see if certain toms activated snares or something. I apologize if i came off like a jerk man. Not my intention....
@@lanceschultz7132 oh no, I didn’t take any offense at all. Or in a “smart ass” way lol. I was saying that if it works, stick with it. And voicing that there are a ton of different ways to tune. I didn’t want to come off like any sort of way either, but we can only interpret what we think someone’s tone is when it’s through message lol. But in all, I didn’t think you werr being like that, and I wasn’t either. Much Respect!
Oh yeah, soundcheck/rehearsal/jam videos are always interesting. Do post more, brother. And that main snare sound is chef's kiss.
Thanks so much! I wish I could do this every gig to be honest, just to show you all what the processes are like from gig to gig. But lots of times I can’t record. But will when I can! 🙏🏽 thanks for the encouragement
There is no one who has your sound. It’s just perfect to me.
Brent! Blessings, it’s been a good journey discovering myself and my sound! I’m grateful that you are appreciative of it 🙏🏽
That snare sounds like a shot gun! Love it!🔥🔥🔥
🤘🏽💥😅
@@Haze_amaze_ can I have the whole kit aux snare and E-pads included

You inspire me bro!😊

Man you should do a video on how you tune your snare, how tight do you have your bottom side?
I generally have my bottom snare head tuned tighter than the top. I have a course out on my site www.hazeamaze.com and a short version on fine tuning my drums here on UA-cam
They all sound good but that floor tom kills!!!! 16" 18"????
Thanks!!! 16”
You should do a how to tune a time video cause I got a kit and I can’t get it to sound like this or good for nun
38:08 the splash 💀💀💀😂😂😂
Man 😂😂😂 sometimes I think I tighten things down tight…. But quickly get humbled 😂😂

I’ve never considered! I like tuning by ear, but I’ll check it out! Thanks
@@Haze_amaze_ it takes about 1/2 the time too and time is something we can never make up! Best 125 bucks I ever spent!
Do u tune ur bottom head to the same note as the top head
Only on my 8” & 12” drums
Keep doing good 👍
Will do! Thanks
sound checks can be fun...if your left to get on with it lol
Oh yeah 🇧🇷
Trend on G 😎💪🏾😇🤘🏾🔥
