I Paid 'Pro' Drummers To Create An EPIC Drum Part For My Song! • I Paid 'Pro' Drummers ...
Time for round 2 on Fiverr...but this time it's all about metal drumming! A metal song played by metal drummers with metal cymbals ;^) what can we learn by hiring 6 metal drummers on Fiverr to record their own interpretation of a metalcore song? Even if metal music is not your cup of tea, I think we can all learn a great deal by looking at what each one of these metal drummers played to this metalcore song..
Some of my most valuable feedback and lessons learned have come from evaluating my drumming in a recorded setting, getting feedback from other musicians, and being willing to improve my playing based upon that feedback. As well, I can learn so much just by watching another drummer or picking apart their drumming. So, I wanted to create a Fiverr gig and use it in this drum tutorial. Fiverr gig marketing has become a great way for some drummers to get work...but what type of quality is there? In this video, I paid random drummers that specifically said they specialized in metal drumming on Fiverr to record a drum part to a metal song I had produced. Since I am hiring them, it's my job to play the part of the producer and evaluate what I think works and what I think doesn't work with each of their drum parts.
Leave a comment below and let me know who you think played it the best!

Hello there Kalonica, just watch your full version playing in your channel (good you did that). WOW you have talent!!! I'm amaze! You've mastered the drums in such a young age and as a former drummer myself, i must say you played much better among them which I believe much older than you!! You've learned a new lesson here, be more thorough! But imo if Stephen as a senior drummer had good intention he could increase the volume (not hidden your amazing drumming) and he would have the pride to be part of supporting you. Here another lesson you've learned to know people, some people might envy but remember good people does exist too. You have a very long journey ahead, never stop learning. You already a prodigy and YOU'LL BECOME A LEGENDARY DRUMMER! Go Kalonica, God bless you always!!!

In response to your comments on Kalonica's track, and something that would be helpful for the musicians you are hiring as well as yourself, don't ask for stems, ask for multitracks. If you ask for stems, (assuming the musician knows what they're talking about) what you'll get is a single stereo file of the entire kit. Multitracks are the individual raw tracks. Although you can ask for the multitracks to be processed as well. But if you asked her for the stem of the drum track, you'd have saved yourself a headache by asking for the multis instead.

Glenn gives you the best bang for your buck no contest! I was guessing he'd be in the mid tier for pricing and was shocked when you showed their real prices. James I thought had the most professional sounds, video, and overall groove, but idk about 300+ on that one. I will say I think I enjoyed his take the most though!

$300+ is reasonable if you're looking for a quality part for a professional quality song. You'd probably pay more than that in studio time if you had a drummer on hand already.

@@StephenTaylorDrums I agree 100% with that. My favorite take was the 1st because it fit the song. Sometimes drummers tend to over complicate a song and it doesn't work in both recording and live settings. The goal to grip a listener is to know when to simplify and when to spice things up. Perfect example is Ken Shalk of Candiria or Gene Hoglan of every metal band in existence lol. They both can go nuts but also know when bring it down a notch to let the song breathe. At the end of the day you do what's best for the song in a "Band" setting.

On a normal session, we would have done one round of adjustments and punch ins and any of their takes could have been used. Really happy with all of the players on this one. As a drummer, some of my most valuable feedback and lessons learned have come from evaluating my drumming in a recorded setting, getting feedback from other musicians, and being willing to improve my playing based upon that feedback. As well, I can learn so much just by watching another drummer or picking apart their drumming. So, in this video, I paid random metal drummers on Fiverr to record a drum part to a metalcore song I had produced. Since I am hiring them, it's my job to play the part of the producer and evaluate what I think works and what I think doesn't work with each of their drum parts.

It would be great if you could make the track public or create a new one for fans, so that fans can also add their own. And then make a fan montage.

He always seems over the top excited, it comes off as less than completely genuine to me. I love the concept of these videos, but this will probably the last of his videos I watch.
@ricklieffering241 3 жыл бұрын
@@gordonjeffrey8616 I can see what you mean, in that such a thing can get to you, but I think the signal he is sending off is just nothing but positivity in a good way. A lot of beginner drummers might watch his video's feeling not so encouraged if he were to give half baked reviews of their peers. We need positivity and I think he's just genuinely being as positive as he can be. That's something I can learn from.

@eamonahern7495 2 жыл бұрын
One thing I like about your version is that you let the cymbal ring at the end when everyone else choked it. Even when they were stopping dead at then end before I saw your version I was thinking it'd be ok to let it ring, it wouldn't take away from the song and probably gives it a more human feel. But I still love the precision of the playing and stopping at the end like that. One thing I'd improve about yours is I wouldn't go so extravagant with the tom and snare rolls during the lead guitar part. I'm a guitar solo fan so I don't like the drums to overpower the lead guitar but sit in the groove of the rhythm section. but that's just my personal preference.

Kalonica should have sent stems... But did she send you her drum tracks on their own, or did she mix everything and send you a final song with the music? I would hope she sent the drums separately (even though just stereo). If so, it wasn't her fault that the drum levels were too low. Where did the final mix take place?

I'm surprised actually bc I thought Mr. Stephen already received all the files that he need including the stems since he already review my gigs... 😊 i checked fiverr again & just realized that fiverr can't send a folder, must open & send it 1 by 1. The only files that were sent are the *drum only mix & video* 😭 the stems were in a folder... my fault didn't double check 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ even though it's useless I have sent the stems after watching this video 🙂 Btw, you can watch my version on my channel if you want.

Hey Stephen! Thanks again for having me, it was a blast!! Great track to play on and in hindsight, yes I absolutely agree about that riff after the intro, needed to come in strong. Again you had some awesome drummers here, with Nico and James being my favourites. And of course your take is a monster too.
