Low tuning sounds MEAN 👿 love it 🙌🏼 Very nice to hear how you approached the snare bed. I had a 12" tom converted and at my first try I cut too deep so had to recut the bottom edge and redo it. It was stressful 😅 next time I may also do by hand and shallower.

Hated the sounds but recognize the challenge. Even higher end modules and kits have limitations when it comes to sounds, dynamics, and playing a drum roll without the snare sounding like a machine gun.

That’s how I have to look at it, as a primarily acoustic drummer with great sounds at my disposal, it’s hard to be impressed with even the best e kits.

Hey Mike, just wanted to know if you could give me some advice. I have an early 2000s Tama Swingstar kit. It sounds fine and tunes up decent with thicker heads and moongel. The hoops are rusted in spots and every one of them is bent in some place. I live in Pittsburgh so DFD is close by, I was wondering what new hoops you’d recommend from them that aren’t too expensive? I play in a prog/hard rock band and usually like a deep tone with plenty of attack. 13” rack, 16” floor, 22” bass with the Accu-tune hoops. Any advice on new hoops?
@malonedrum3 күн бұрын
Sure, new hoops should help. I’d reach out to them and I’m sure they’ll make solid recommendations on what to purchase.
@chiefluke2103 күн бұрын
@@malonedrum Thanks Mike, will do. Great video as always! As far the 15” snare goes, it might benefit from an Evans Hybrid snare head and tighter tensioning to get a better mid range tone? Or maybe an Aquarian Reflector snare head, so that playing low will give you a fat deep tone and harder hits will give you a mid/high tone. I’ve found that controlled sound black dots on snares are great but only short term, mine kinda gave out on me after 3 months.

Can I record only the raw tracks during my live performance using the Zoom H8? I intend to apply effects such as EQ, compressor, reverb, or delay to my line out for live sound, but I want the recorded tracks to remain raw and unaffected by these effects. Is there a feature or setting on the Zoom H8 that allows me to achieve this?

If you plug a microphone into the Zoom, it’s raw audio.

@malonedrum4 күн бұрын
@@garrettguadiana1327 I understand how a round over edge gives a warmer tone, but in mu opinion, since any sort of straight angle chanfer meets the head at a finite point, I don't really see the 30 degree edge (at least on a mostly interior cut away) having much of a noticeable different sound. Also, to get the most definition and clarity out of a snare, I'd imagine a sharper tone would be ideal, especially on snare side with the head so much thinner.
