I have animals,ins on my kit, too… sometimes it can be a bit of a pain - I have to tune before every gig, although I’m getting very quick at it due to all the practice 😊
You're straight up one of the first people who isn't trying to sell me some secret sauce and really be real about how the musician, kit and how they play together really affects the sound and not just all the crazy expensive gear, etc etc. Officially a big fan!
I’ve been on the fence for a while about trying something like this (or even halfway ‘dead’) with my kit at home. I love how you acknowledge the impact of the sound of the room itself, doors open/closed. So many people ignore all of the different variables that go into the sound of any instrument or voice or mix. I lead worship at a church that uses a pretty small venue, and a very lively room. I can see this type of set up for drums working super well in that context as most of our sets tend to be acoustic. Great work and thank you so much for sharing your process! You could’ve done a really quick two minute overview, but, showing how thorough you are in your process, speaks to the depth and seriousness that we should all use for our own context.
Dude, you're such a legend. Seriously! All of your jam videos are an absolute blast. But this sorta thing is what I live for. This isn't a drum sound I would use often, but it's probably a favorite drum tone of mine. And you just nail it, Sir! Thanks for taking us thru your setup. I really appreciate your casual approach to tuning. You just adjust until it sounds/feels right. Experience and personal aesthetic making for a killer result. A++
Love the sample pack, I’ve been using it on my SPD-SX Pro with a band as well as a jam session group I play with whenever we need a 70s/super dead sound.
Love hearing your sound and seeing your playing in context with jazz fusion players, more videos with this group if possible please and thank you, keyboard player shreds 😵
The beauty of sample packs are (or samples in general): It inspires you to play with the samples like pieces of Lego. Build new stuff out of tiny sound fragments. For example at 0:32 you could cut and edit the text "sample pack" to make the words "pample sack"... but I don't even know what a pample sack is.. which makes me think about my thought process when looking for a play of word that barely makes sense and isn't really funny. But at some point if you don't laugh at it, laugh at the person, laugh for someone trying to be funny at all cost or simply feeling embarrassed for people writing such terrible comments, then I guess you are super dead inside 🙂. Which brings me back to this video which is a joy to watch and really helpful. Keep it up!
we used to go down to the place as youths, you know the one, and well it was the popular thing at the time to get yourself maybe one, but probably 3 or 4 pamples, you know tie em together by the bpm, and hang em off your belt. One day Fred, that was my friend's name -Fred. Well one day Fred got the idea, you see his dad was a hobo. Like an honest to goodness bean eating, rail car riding, big rock candy mountain style hobo. And a hobo would often carry with him a bindle, that's not important to the story though, Fred, well Fred's hobo dad had a sack of potatoes we learned about from Fred's Mom, so we took the pamples (We had maybe 10 between the two of us, I forget, it was around the time 808 one hits would just. You know, who counts?) 10 maybe we had. and well, The long and short of it is Fred cut his thumb pealing the potatoes from the sack, and it got infected. So Margaret Thatcher (thats what Joe Biden's name was back then) banned pample's, and lord save me, they knew not to go after a mans sack, so we still got those, but you'd be hard pressed to get a good pample for it these days.
Duck down pillows packed in the kick drum are magic too . There super light but so dense they deaden so much tone fast . And not a solid mass of fabric , worth trying if you can get your hands on a few duck down pillows stuff the kick so they touch the batter skin
@@omarcapaso7156 I took the samples on a USB in a format my kit prefers, like .wav with correct bitrate (you may need to consult the manual). Then plugged it into my drum module and imported the samples into memory. Then edited a user kit assigning the new sounds to each corresponding piece.
Very cool! James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem has a Gretsch Round Badge and his tone is my favorite dry, disco drum tone. It's almost like halfway between acoustic drums and an analog drum machine and that's perfect for dance music.
By putting the bricks inside the drum you are mass loading the drum. As you add mass it lowers the fundamental pitch and quickens the decay. Try a 10 lb bag of rice. Put it in a pillowcase so you don't have any accidental spills. It has a better effect the more surface area makes contact with the shell. Back in the day they used to use a can of paint full of sand
When I was a kid and practicing all the time, my dad (who was a drummer too) used to put towels or old pillowcases/linens on my drum heads so they'd be quieter. He also thought it'd help me develop my stick control because it significantly reduces rebound. Not sure if he was right, but if you play with stuff like that on your heads for a while and then go back to bare heads, you'll notice your strokes feel different (in a good way). Generally I don't like muffling _at all_ - especially with real nice drums, as they sound so good when properly tuned. However, in certain situations and for some genres, muffling is a fun way to experiment with your sound.
I discovered the relationship between transients and tone several years ago when tracking records at home. Songs that I recorded in a mellow way always sounded phat and loud. I haven't really heard anyone talk about this until I found your videos. I heard a similar thing from some guitarists. They say if you turn an amp up super loud and play softly it sounds huge. Anyway, thanks for the video! I'm going to take my bottom heads off and try this whole set up. Cheers!
This is a terrific tutorial, thank you for sharing! The time finally arrived when my son said - 'Dad, I want to play your drum set'. But given it's a DW with a 24in bass drum, I need to keep the good graces with the neighbors and volume down the whole kit. Maybe I'll have luck with your trick to muffle the bass drum - even a 24in one? Can't wait to try!
the most important thing is to invest in a dehumidifier. if the rain OUTSIDE is making that much of a difference INSIDE, you will definitely damage your audio equipment (mics included) if that much humidity is coming in because of exterior rain / outdoor elements. Trust me dude, this is coming from experience.
I have the super dead drum sample pack and the suuuuuper simple beats ARE THE BEST SONWRITING TOOL I'VE COME ACROSS IN ALONG TIME! seriously, vey often, I want just a simple beat to play along that is not too intrusive but still sound like a drumset. Somehow this has ben incredibly hard to do for other people (and drum machine manufacturers, sheehs, DR-600 was the last one with enough simplicity). Thank you so much for sample set you made!
Here’s a fun thing. Meinel makes this thing called a beat box, and it has this crazy beater that comes with it. If you buy just the beater and modify it to work as a bass drum beater it sounds nuts. The beater is super wide and has a crazy soft head. I really dig it.
Nice advice. I didn't care much for a dead sound but the information from trial and error is invaluable. It's something I just haven't tried. And the playing here with the duo really made me more of a fan of this sound - nice tasteful beats & chops. Good music too. That Fluff beater I like because with a somewhat high tune for me, it gives it a sound of the bass from subs in the trunk of car that I like for a hip hop sound I guess. I use to always tune drums just based on getting an even tension. And it worked for a general 'sound', but after Aron's tuning video I realized how resilient drum heads are, and you can tune them a lot without needing a new head every time you go too high or something; and maybe most important tune to a even sound around all the lugs but also feel it out, find where the head wants to be with your preferred head tension. I like to play off the rebound so I usually tension high, but don't want a jazz style tuning too. Kind of in the middle. Ive found it's possible. Thanks man, you inspire 🤙
Your drums always sound like magic. And just as an aside, I really enjoyed your work in 2012’s “the Campaign”, as well as your early stand up. Godspeed, good sir.
Nice dude. I had no idea there was so much customization in terms of how drums can be deadened for that funky sound. This will be perfect for me. I was just about to set my old kit back up that I've hardly ever played and only know a basic beat on but I really want to learn breakbeats and funk beats like the Interstate 76 soundtrack and this setup will be great for taht.
Fantastic! Replicating a vintage authentic 70's drum sound is pretty cool along with your spot on a vintage drum style to boot. I swear I would think it was from that period.
great tutorial jake, but tbh most people don't have so much mics and fancy gear to experiment with. it would be cool if you could do a tutorial on how to achieve this kind of sound with 4 or 5 mics and plugins only.
I thought this video was a joke at first, but it actually sounds very cool and makes a lot of sense on why you would want that sound for certain situations. Music is actually soo interesting this way.
man... what a great video. It's so nice to be able to see every step of the way to getting there. Even though most of the equipment i won't be able to buy (specially living in Brazil, which these thing's cost thousands), you can have a pretty good ideia of what to aim for. Thanks Jake.
Was recording in Hansa in Berlin one week and the engineer wanted a dead drum sound from our drummer , so just went to the kitchen and got a clean tea towel and threw over each drum and stationary clipped each to each rim , magic sound ,
Jake, first of all thank you. Great video. Real musical science research here. I love this. You are definitely not - not a mixer. Funky keys.... nice job everyone ❤❤❤
So my dad was the Plant Manager of a company called KC Poster and could make just about anything that could be printed. The first instrument I picked up was drums and being that we were lower class, all my folks could afford was entry level gear. My drum set was a Tama and boy did it have terrible sustain. To mitigate this problem my dad made custom stickers that were rings the same size as my drums and they worked perfectly. My entry level kit sounded very close to pro grade. Very dead but still had good tone Oh, and my buddy and I who were in a band together were both VERY heavy handed drummers
those drums sounded soooo goood even before you added anything. i actually liked the non saturated version a lot more though im sure it cuts in the mix better with the saturation.
The "playing softer" is really interesting, recently got a pair of 14" 60s new beats and playing softer really helped removing that "bbwwoom" low frequency going on! Also what tape are you a fan of when taping cymbals, been trying a bit of moongel (hopefully won't stain it...) and seem to remove some nasty things but not as "dead" or dry as these one, probably because they're thick and 14s though Anyways defenitely going to get your kit someday, on my purchase list but also want to get into more playing myself :) Happy drumming!
Love Xaudia. I bought quite a few Ribbons from Stewart Tavener. He’s a top guy and knows what he’s doing. Have you ever tried the BM9’s he makes? I have a matched pair and they’re ridiculous
Let the microphones do the work!
Question. What does the rain have to do with the bass drum tuning?
@@JackNiles I have a calfskin head on this bass drum so it absorbs a lot of moisture in the air due to the rain, which makes it sound deeper.
@@JakeReedmusic very interesting, so does humidity effect tuning of plastic drum heads also?
@@JackNiles no, just porous skin drum heads.
I have animals,ins on my kit, too… sometimes it can be a bit of a pain - I have to tune before every gig, although I’m getting very quick at it due to all the practice 😊

not even a drummer but I appreciate your videos so much, especially the performances with Kait and Sean. Thank you!
Thank you for the kind words! Kait and Sean rule!
I’ve been on the fence for a while about trying something like this (or even halfway ‘dead’) with my kit at home. I love how you acknowledge the impact of the sound of the room itself, doors open/closed.

Which drum kit are you playing with?
Jake, would love to know your stick size of choice. How do you approach which sticks to use when approaching jazz, VS hip hop breaks, VS rock? 🙏🏼
I usually use Vic Firth AJ1s for everything but if it’s something really heavy hitting I’ll use a 5A.
