  • Van Halen Why Can’t This Be Love drum cover. Coming from their last single “Hot for Teacher” with David Lee Roth, “Why Can’t This Be Love” as the first single of the album “5150” with Sammy Hagar is a huge difference. I can understand the criticism, but personally I love listening and playing this song. Just like the rest of Van Halen “5150” record :)

    Why can't I hear the ghost notes?

    • @TomDrums
      @TomDrums  3 роки тому +1

      They're there but I guess they got lost in the mix. It's more a habit then intentional playing ghost notes :)

      @@TomDrums Are you triggering the drum sounds?

    • @TomDrums
      @TomDrums  3 роки тому +1

      ​@@MrMurUK Yes, I use internal side triggers. They're pretty sensitive, but with really quiet ghost notes, as in barely touching the heads, the volume is lower compared to real heads. For me it works fine, it's only for practicing :)

    • @MrMurUK

      @@TomDrums It's fair enough if you are happy with it, but I wouldn't be. I find triggered/electro playing can really flatter your playing/ I mean metal drummers do this so their hits sound cleaner/more consistent. My TD-6 certainly did but that was rubber pads, My TD-27 kit less so because of the digital snare. I don't want to be a debbie-downer but the hits in this video appear too clean for what you are playing (i.e. missing ghosts), so it doesn't look right to me. I did a recording with triggers once and only heard the result once it was mixed. The result was more precise than what acoustic would have sounded but all subtely and ghosts had gone.

    • @TomDrums
      @TomDrums  3 роки тому

      @@MrMurUK For me it's finding the right balance so that the transition to my real kit is not that big of a difference. Because I tend to hit a little harder, I set the trigger sensitivity lower. The downside is that ghostnotes often get lost in the mix (I still hear them while playing with my headphones). I guess this could be solved if I bought more expensive central triggers, but because I'll never gig with e-drums and I'm fairly happy with this setup for practicing, I leave it like it is. For me e-drums will never feel as good as acoustics. At least not yet :)

    Your performance elucidated the angular and syncopated soundscape of Alex - that is inseparable from his brother’s guitar. It is just awe inspiring to watch how Alex
    made those drums sing-through your excellent performance.
