The Drum Thread • Page 2

Moved into my new practice space today and lined the floor with blue Christmas lights because why not

 

That looks so nice!

I brought in my toms to my drum lesson a couple days ago to do a tuning lesson with my teacher. Bought new heads and he got them sounding the best they've ever sounded. My floor tom sounds so deep now.

 

I'm interested in hearing what you come up with on this

 

Been really into watching Jay Fleetwood videos lately, dude should do session work for bands.

 

Also, I dabbled with playing drums but I've never gotten very far with it. I can do a punk beat, blast beats, and that's about it.

 

I wanna learn how to play blast beats.

 

As someone who immensely loves the drums but doesn't play and isn't very knowledgeable about the craft, I'll be lurking here ha. Love all the vids shared so far!

 

I actually know one of he guys in tha #LiveToPlay video (Mike). Really cool for him.

Also, hi @Joe!

 

Start by doing it one footed and build up your speed. I taught myself basically, it's really about maintaining that unison of notes while you do it.

 

People are really pissed about Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Drummers list

 

Not familiar with a lot of those drummers, so I can't really judge it. Personally, I'd put Moon over Bonham, but I'm biased. I absolutely love The Who. Apparently, I need to listen to more of The White Stripes? Nice to see Haake on there.

 

I haven't looked at it, but those kind of lists are really weird to me. Like, it really just comes down to style. I'm betting Travis Barker is on that list. I'm not a fan of him, but I see the appeal.

There's just so many different drummers who obviously do different things. But I like ranking albums from all these different bands so who the fuck am I to talk, haha.

 

Rolling Stone lists are typically terrible though. I recall their best metal records of the year list for 2015 had Marilyn Manson at the top of the list over much better records.

 

Yeah it's just funny to me to see people so up in arms about Neil Peart not being #1

 

I love Neil to pieces but I honestly wouldn't put him at the top of the list either.

 

I'm a huge Rush fan, and I'd still put Bonham, Moon, and Max Weinberg above him on a best drummers list. And that's not even starting on the jazz greats.

 

I haven't played my kit in almost six months.

 

A Drummer's Dream was just added to Netflix. Anyone seen it?

 

First time I've heard about it. I'll have to add it to my watch-list.

@patrickhowell C&C kits are great. Love the finish on that

 

Nice kit, C&C always puts out the best kits.

 

Damn that looks so nice

 

Just recorded me playing with my camera so I could listen to it afterwards and critique, but I can't open it because there isn't enough space on my computer.
