So you forget your snare, but you remember a tambourine and a towel and a bunch of straws? Love your videos! Keep it up!

@jas_bataille Жыл бұрын

Pretty specific situation, but as a working drummer, that's not impossible. Straws are, after all, in almost every possible venue, and losing your snare - whether that's your fault or during transport somewhere with no drumshop nearby and no friend to bring you one - is definitely possible. I've heard of people losing their floor tom legs who had to use sticks... and people who lost their sticks (happened to me once believe it or not). Bottom line : *everything* is possible on the road. Believe me lol

One of the videos my band filmed last year, we made it halfway across the state, upon setting up the kit for filming we realized the snare stand was missing. I managed to find the perfect stump in a driftwood pile. We used that as a stand for the full video, and you can't even tell. That clip of the tom snare made me think of that haha.

5:39 OMG PLEASE DO A WEIRD DRUMSTICKS VIDEO🙏🙏🙏 (If you do,) please feature springy drumsticks! What are springy drumsticks? I’m glad you asked! 1. Get a drumstick 2. Remove a section of the drumstick 3. Replace the section that was removed with a spring (in my experience springs from Nerf guns work best) 4. Glue the spring in place 5. Now you have a remarkably useless (but highly entertaining) springy drumstick! (This is just as ridiculous as it sounds, it’s meant to be nonsensical and fun) Love your vids!

Another tuning/muffling trick: only tune up half of your lugs. For example if you have a 22" kick with 10 lugs, only tone 5 of them but still in the star patern. You might need to tune them up twice as high and I would not recomend using this on drums with less than 8 lugs. This also works on snare drums too.
