Thanks for your videos, you really sparked my interest in drumming again, currently reviving my old set and searching for a room to practice. I like tinkering on stuff and there's so much you can do for a better feeling and sounding drum with little money and a bit of tlc.
It’s honestly it’s both because your playing style could work best with a specific setting but another person might find another setting more comfortable for them
I hate new guitar strings and also new (fresh washed) bed sheets, Id imagine Id also hate new drum heads :D A good musician can make a crap instrument sound good.
@@pyther9852 It is too large for a bullet, yet too small for a piece of furniture. You're looking for something heavy and larger than a poo rolled in sprinkles.
Mate, I got a little story to tell about my snare: When I was a complete beginner, another beginner drummer friend of mine found a shitty rusty metallic snare without heads that was abandoned somewhere. As she knew I was into diy, she gave it to me. A few months later I realized it was a 70's Ludwig Supraphonic. It is my biggest drum treasure!
@@MisterFribble people are clueless. Somebody probably bought it, left it in storage, and than some clueless relative thought it was old junk and threw it away. It's sadly common when old people die. The surviving family members have no clue what anything is, and if it doesn't look nice they just assume it's trash.
Same! I just wanted to see the Smasnug flip fail and just stuck around for the next two years just gradually got into all of that to the point of obsession too.
He's working on doing that for me lmao, I keep putting off buying new headphones/speakers because I suddenly want to get much higher end equipment than I would have wanted previously because he's managed to explain to me why audio quality matters, and after listening to the difference in my nicer headphones to my cheap wireless buds I completely understand. I also have a much higher appreciation for the complexity both cars and drumming than I thought I ever would.
You brought that Brady onscreen and started listing offball the drummers that played it, and my jaw dropped- i had no idea that the bands I grew up listening to had played such a rare drum, and when you played it i immediately recognized the sound of that snare, absolutely gorgeous mate
I used the easter weekend to revive an old Peace Snare from the 70s, that was already in terrible shape when I got it ~15yrs ago. Turns out, some cleaning, new hoops and a DW snare mechanic that cost roughly as much as the snare, will really make any piece of kit feel significantly better.
The thing that kills me about electronic drum kits is they're just so much more convenient to record with and they won't get your neighbors mad at you. But if you started off cheap you're just kind of stuck. Most of the time the computers and pads aren't compatible across different brands or different lines So you're basically forced to sell it and get a new kit if you're not happy with the sound of it.
for me it was less the sound(they sound meh but i can always pirate EZdrummer and change the midis i guess) but the fact i commited the mistake of not buying mesh drums and they have absolutely no bounce so i decided to sell it and just lift the middle to my neighbors
Aaron Comes used a Brady on Spin Doctors Two Princes. Super iconic intro snare fill, that has graced probably every TGI Fridays jukebox across the globe. Great channel! Keep up the good work!
The best way I can describe the audio difference in these two drums is when a frozen food says “microwave or oven” but the microwave means it’s gonna be a little soggy but still dinner, but the oven makes it crispy and sharp. But also sometimes food is food and you can dress up a microwaved meal with the right additions LOL
I have a Pearl Export snare that I took the wrap off, sanded, and stained dark blue. Also put gold hoops on it and reglued the badge, so it looks very similar!
I think my favorite part of this video is how much music you can make with naught but a snare, kick, and hihats. I’ve only ever thought about starting a drumset by buying a kit, but if I could spend the cost of a kit on a lifelong buy of those three pieces that seems like a much better place to start
The Aussie drums sounds exactly like I would expect......great. Reminds me of a Noble and Cooley. The poo drum.....I was about to rag on it til I realized the sprinkles were added by you. Looks cool
this channel is the perfect "study/homework channel" for me, since it's entertaining enough to keep me awake when i'm working, but not entertaining enough for me to get distracted by it.

I used to live next door the Brady drum factory. I was also a tree lopper at the time, Yes Chris Brady did come out when he heard about a old jarrah been chapped down. He would pay for a crain and flat bed truck to come in and he would take away the pieces he wanted.
I love that you are the anti-snob when it comes to drums. Like any decent musician I guess; a crap $50 guitar can sound impressively good in the right hands (and maybe $100 worth of fretwork and tuners just to make it amazing). It's all about talent and... the charm, the sound, the eccentricities and character of the crap and using it for what it's worth (which is a lot)
@@computer_toucher a guitar doesnt “sound” glenn fricker has a video about that, the pickups dont alter the tone nore does the wood, its only the speaker and cabinet from the amp that makes an actual difference…
@@sirspongadoodle Switch the original single-coil on my ‘64 SG Jr with anything else (like a PAF or whatever) and I promise it will sound *quite* different
I love my Brady, she’s one of the real early hand finishes ones, basically a piccolo.. made from Jarrah Burl.. they can bury me with it as she’s never leaving my side..
I have a Slingerland radio king from the 80s (back when Gibson bought out the company), which I bought for about a little over $200 in today's money back in the early 2000s. I saw this same snare about a decade earlier in the same music store I bought it from, but it was priced so prohibitively high that it was never sold till I bought it. What's funny is I was even able to haggle the price down from about $300 to the aforementioned $200+.
Some of my favorite photos the photographer used ~300 usd entry level MFT body with a ~800 usd 25mm f/1.2 PRO Olympus lens. The shots are beyond amazing and got me to buy all of his books and zines. He has thousands in Sony gear and those images are great too, but I wouldn’t say they’re better than the ones shot on the little Olympus body. I picked up the same e-pl8 to go with my E-M1.III and E-M5.II and combined with a much cheaper 20mm f/1.7 ver II you can still get great images for cheap. I try to show kits like that to people that want to really try a dedicated camera but get scared off my the cost. I have a Fuji GFX kit with primes and a 50R, not exactly cheap. I still pickup the cheap e-pl8 and admittedly more expensive Olympus 20mm f/1.4 PRO (or the little lumix 20, it’s still solid) whenever I don’t need the higher end bodies.
Reminds me of the time I found a $60 guitar at a pawn shop being sold as "for parts" and all I had to was replace the bridge block and put new strings on and it sounded fantastic
I have never seen a Hi-Hat SINK INTO ITSELF BY FLEXING that much in my life... has it died already? And this reminds me of RDavidr's 40 dollar snare with 400 dollars of upgrades video XD
Reminds me of Dave Weckl using a Kent snare drum his neighbour gave him, when recording his first solo album. Everyone assumed it was the Yammy brass piccolo he did a lot of press for, so they all went and brought that instead of the cheap boxy wonder that was the cheap British snare they heard.
its all in the heads. Seems like veteran nugeteer would naturaly aspire to having drum nuggets but seems impossible due to overwhelmingly competent drumheads.
I tried to focus on the sound but the rhythm triggered an insecurity of "im just starting out and theres so much you can do with just the hat, kick, and snare that i just straight up dont know how to even start".
It's like a mixture of a sleeper build and a polished turd. It looks bad to people who recognize the badge, looks good to the average person and if you ignore the way it looks, it sounds great.
maaaan id love to get a couple one shot Samples of both of those drums. a nice heavy rim shot or something for metal, blend it in nice with other stuff or with a natural snare. may sound pretty neat
I'd love to see an equivalent of Jim Lill's videos on guitar tones but for drum sounds. What common beliefs for what makes a drum sound are actually myths, for example
The hi hats are a “repaired” 14” K Custom Fast Crash over top an 80’s Scimitar hat bottom 👌

They're not high, they've just been up for days.
Are they louder with the repair? I could imagine lots of weird noises coming out of that slot.
As long
as they are somewhat round they still can work
What were the snare wires? Do they make a difference?
"you don't need new drums to sound good, you just need new heads" says a killer drummer whose playing is what makes the drums sound good
That is a good thing if you ask me. It shows that the sound is in the hands not the set
It’s honestly it’s both because your playing style could work best with a specific setting but another person might find another setting more comfortable for them

Poo snare sounds like it's already had a trip through the sound board. Close mic, lotsa comp, touch of reverb, fits easy in any mix. I like it!
