      @@L0CV5T to answer your question it depends on what level your at. also keep in mind, you can tune a cheap drum set and make it sound good. However you cant tune cymbals. if you decide to go cheep on drums thats fine but to have a decent sound invest in cymbals. im not sayin meinl byzance or anything but in my opinion meinls midrange cymbals, the dark classic customs, have a great beginner/intermediate sound. good luck man.

      @@StephenTaylorDrums No problem at all, man! You had the best overall drum sound/production, held back a lot and served the song more, and put those crucial drum fills in the right spots as Dave mentioned and then drove the rest of the song out heavy. If you combined some of the percussion ideas with this take, it would go to another level.

    I love all different types of videos you make - I love to build and hack things too, I love your experiments with new sounds, new ways to get old sounds, and "will this work" exploration. But this video does something really special. The concepts you're pointing out with this video - thinking about how the drums relate to the other instruments, really influence whether a section feels solid or floating, pushing or syrupy, and how there isn't a default, all these are choices with different effects on the song - they're one of the hardest things to communicate and ones that really make the difference between a good drummer and a great drummer, as well as a drummer that's just fun to jam with versus one that elevates songs. You've taken something difficult to get across and highlighted it in a really clear way. Really well done.

Loved this video - worth the effort for sure!!
