I love your content so much, guys. You are both awesome. The production is awesome. The way Cody delivers the content (as well as when you are on screen, Ben don't worry 😉). I don't understand why there is no more people watching you, to be honest.
Thanks! People are generally more attracted to over-the-top sensationalism, drum covers, and quick exercise and pattern lessons. That’s okay, we’re here to provide value to those who choose to watch. -Ben
@@SoundsLikeADrum i, for one, think it's much more important to understand your drums - how they work and what you can get out of them, than to watch the over-the-top stuff. i mean.... when are you ever going to use that? i consider it clickbait, and not super interesting.
I did the yarn hack and it turned out absolutely amazing. I'm using the beater on a wide open vintage Premier 20"-ish bass drum that's outfitted with calf heads. The sound is huge, warm, and round with just about zero attack. Divine! Thanks for the tip... gonna do this on a few other beaters as well!
On the square beater from Danmar .... what if you cupped the middle of the beater and left the rest of the face square? Wonder what that would sound like?
Thanks again for some awesome options! in the time since you posted this, I bought 2 "dead cat" mic covers for my double kick pedal and this hack absolutely, 100% works like your demo! Love the minimized tone; one thing tho-for me, it was too quiet for the rest of the kit? Would need to also adjust to broomsticks or rods maybe... And I am DEFINITELY cutting or sanding my solid felt beater heads! I've wondered how to get to that!
An experienced recording engineer once suggested taping a coin to the beater. Really added a clear high end attack. Probably not ideal for the longevity of the drumhead but very effective
So probably would never happen, but... What if you took the square beater, and set it at a 45° angle to the head? Meaning, to have the hard angle beating the head. You would need to round it out to avoid any damage to the head....but I just wonder what that would sound like. Maybe more concentrated attack? Might be thinking about this too deeply. Thank you for the great videos!
I tried this with a felt beater. The attack actually gets softer. The bigger the surface area, the more attack (it's basically like if you slap your habd on the table vs just one finger)
Because most people tend to complain and skip passed real-time process footage like that. Same with the mallet wrapping. There’s not a ton of added value from watching us continually sand down a beater or wind yarn.

Oh my, that bass drum tone when you used the mallet beater... goosebumps
Love the mic wind screen thing! In college my buddy did a similar thing with a wrist sweatband. I keep one in my stick bag now!
Oh man that is a good one! I've got some of those, and that is "next on my hack list"! Thanks for sharing! SO easy...

@@SoundsLikeADrumplenty of drummers don't do that and get views, yall just don't offer much on your videos, very basic concepts...
We’re happy for them and proud of what we’ve created with this channel. ✌️
Too your last sentence : I guess it's better that way,when things become 'too' big,'too ' popular,they mostly loose quality,for some reason.

Loved the wind screen and yarn mallet sounds!

Great video. Any chance you could share which windscreen you are using? I went on Amazon and the sizes/choices are overwhelming.
I love the mic wind screen hack, it reminds me of DW black sheep beaters, but I dare say alot less expensive. Thanks guys!

Great infos. I never thought about it. Thank you, more informative then drumeo😊

If I want that kind of sound I usually stick a washer to the head where the beater hits the head and it works amazing
What kind of snare drum is the brown one behind you with the lamp on it? I have one just like it, but with no badging.
That's a Fijian Mahogany stave snare made by Red Rock Drums Australia.
Put an old (or new) heavy work sock over it. Looks ridiculous but sounds great
AWESOME!!!
Various socks and a rubber band 👍
What is that beautiful snare (bottom left of screen with aged copper hardware)?
Can we hear it please?

I miss the ponytail😢
Fortunately I get a flat side of a felt beater from just playing a lot haha

@@hannes1734 Very well put!!
I put a mikephone cover
11:30 quotes taken out of context :P
No need to go through all this just run the bass mic through a low pass filter.
If it only takes 5 minutes then why didn’t he just finish the example the whole way?
