Very informative. I'm VERY heavy handed on a kit. I've been through several hundred dollars' worth of sticks and heads. Can you consider doing a head test video in a similar manner?
In my experience, for recording I recommend 1 ply heads with dots. Remo CS or Aquarian Classic Clear with Dots. For live shows and going heavy handed I recommend 2 ply stuff like Evans UV2s and Remo Powerstroke 4. For snare specifically, Evans ST Dry is literally the best. Every rock/metal drummer in rig rundown mentions it. For bass drum, Evans UV EMAD, EMAD 2, Aquarian Super Kick 10, and Remo Powerstroke 3 w black dot have worked great for me. Also, with a lot of these thicker heads you won’t need too much dampening, for blending into a mix you’ll need some tone.
This is awesome! I’ve always primarily played promark, with the exception of Vic Firth here and there. But since 2012, I can’t not use the Promark 2S Shira Kashi Oak. I’ve never experienced sticks that are as durable as the shira kashi wood. Not to mention that 17 inch extension! But, goddam are they expensive…. Like, come on.
@@DruMarshallDrums haha yup. I used to buy them in bulk when they were cheaper. Now it’s insane… same thing with the Japanese white out 747bs. I gotta say - they never break so you save your money in the long run 😂
Great video!! Very useful!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the kind words!

6:06 "Slo-mo Pain" is my favorite chapter. XD Good vid.
No pain no gain 😝
This is my favorite video you’ve made thus far!!
Thank you very much! 🥁

I’ve heard great things about those but never owned a pair. Maybe one day when I hit the lottery haha
