Good thread OP. Shame the board is too busy gooning over waifus to notice.
>>129620238You guys know any good electric drum sets? I had one when I was young but I tore through that thing. I've always had a yearning to get back into it
>>129620238Nobody cares about this instrument loleveryone just uses samples nowadays or does the drumming with AI plenty of software now for this
>>129620238hey fellow drummers, You guys think I can make songs sound good with these drums >>129622762why not a real drumset?
>>129620238my kick pedal keeps sliding around...
>>129622762If you can i would highly recommend getting an acoustic set, but if you cant i would get a Roland TD07DMK or an Alesis Nitro Max on the cheaper side. Dont buy anything that doesn’t use a real kick pedal.
>>129622825Is it attached to the bass drum hoop properly?
>>129622743
Would you recommend a youtube list with a good drum course and tutorials?.

>>129620238I have an acoustic kit in my basement, but have been thinking about getting a small electric kit in my home office so I can record midi of my drum parts and eventually clean up those midi parts to write notation for future reference.After looking into it and thinking about it for awhile, I'm starting to feel like I should just get something like the Yamaha DTX Multi 12 with kick and high-hat pedal accessories to do this since I could then use the DTX with my acoustic kit to trigger samples.Anyone have experience with these?Would an electric kit be better for this purpose?
>>129622825You need a rug and a kick block.
>>129629972I did that witha Roland SPD-11 a long time ago. I had a couple multi zone pads for snare and hats, but you could easily do it with just the main unit. We did full band practice in my little apartment with it.
>>129630019>full band practice in my little apartmentSounds fun. What kind of music did you play?I'm aiming for post-hardcore / screamo.Did you ever try recording midi from it?Experience any latency issues?
>>129630121>Sounds fun. What kind of music did you play?I'm not much of a drummer. I don't know what I'm doing. My meme music with some live drums and some programmed stuff is here:https://www.bitchute.com/channel/Pt1xj2Q7Jmeq>I'm aiming for post-hardcore / screamo.Go for it. Don't let gear get in the way of making music.>Did you ever try recording midi from it?>Experience any latency issues?The SPD-11 was an early 1990s unit. I have an even older TD-7 (not the new TD-07) that works just fine for recording midi. Just make sure your computer and daw are properly set up and it should work flawlessly.
I have 7 cowbells
>>129630306How many cows?
>>129630270>My meme musicThe skinny girl with the white undies is cute.I didn't realize s4s made albums. That doo wop track was cool too. I'm assuming both of those were live drums that were recorded and not midi -- sounds too good for midi :)Once we're back in a bull market, I'll go for the DTX.
>>129630335I got one beefy weiner for you ;-)
>>129630414s4s aka esfores has done maybe 35 albums.https://archive.org/details/@esforesThe drums on "Werkin for Free" are a loop of me playing... but real. 1940s 26" bass drum... it's a beast and more than I can handle.
have some drums, drum threadhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZFjU2e0nfk&list=RD3PNiTJsvqA8
These instrument generals are the only good thing about this God forsaken board. The final /mu/ redpill is that listening to music is substantially less fun than playing it, even at low skill levels. I just hope the schizo doesn’t terrorize these like he did /gg/
>>129631541is there an e-drum schizo?
Getting good at drums was a huge pleasure. Took over a year of heavy focus to break the wall my bass pedal foot had hit and now I can do it very fast and all sorts of offbeats that most drummers don't attempt. I play the Hihat with my left hand which kind of opens me to grooving in a different way. I wish i had more creative fills but I'm more of an offbeat player than a fancy fills guy
>>129631541listening to enough music is what made me obsess with learning instruments to make my own
>>129632075thats why its called playing open
Bump
>>129632100I always switch back and forth.
I am the best drummer on /mu/
Piccolo snare and a 24" Kick :-)
>>129637393vocaroo
How tf do I even learn how to play when I don't live by myself and can't really set up a drumset rn?
>>129639097get an e kit an get lessons so you can atleast play acoustic sometimes
>>129639228If you live in something like an apartment complex, wouldn't neighbors be able to hear?
>>129639287You won’t know unless you try
>>129639287>>129639228Make a cardboard box drum kithttps://youtu.be/A_mINX4N9jg
>>129639287if you live on the first floor of an apartment complex its not that big of an issue, but if you are on any floor but the first you will need something to disperse the energy of the beater hitting the bass drum pad so you don't drive your downstairs neighbours insane. other than that as long as you don't play at ridiculous hours it should probably be fine.
>>129635024MATT CAMERON CONFIRMED MU POSTER OG WTF
>Play drums for 30+ years >Spend the last 7-8 years building up an amazing kit piece by piece>get hit with a nasty auto immune condition>Have to get most of my right foot amputated>spend the last 2 years learning to walk again>still way too painful to play, too fucked up on meds.feels bad man.
>>129640336sorry this happened to you anon, are you able to play other instruments?
>>129640336Sorry to hear that, anon.Does making electronic music do anything for you?One of my favorite producers started as a drummer.
I'm the worst drummer on this board. I wrote and recorded mu a song while I was waiting for paint to dry to prove it. https://voca.ro/11n3BfhAQZNX
>>129640421>>129640452Thanks bros.Ive produced / engineered electronic music too since the 90's ( released a few records that did ok back then ) so I still have that, although that's a different thing than playing drums for me.I put my kits in storage so I hope i can return one day in some form or another. I hope you all get to enjoy playing for many years & none of you get anything like this happening.
>>129640588kekThat was pretty good.
anons should i sell a bunch of collectibles and get a td516? i want the digital pads so bad, and all the cymbals on my old td-25k don't even trigger properly anymore. part of me thinks i should just spend the $400~ it would cost to replace the cymbals with used parts of ebay, but part of me wants to go big and upgrade after almost a decade of owning the td25k. i run everything through a mbp using superior drummer 3 so I'm already pretty deep in the weeds money wise.
>>129637393hi Lars
>>129640819I'd been playing guitar for over 30 years and cut the end off one of my fingers. After I did that I was walking into the house to get a pistol to blow my brains out but thought it would be pretty unfair to make mtly younger brother have to deal with it. I can still play, but at s reduced capacity. So I have not dealt with the level you have, but definitely have dealt with being devistated. Was your ordeal post vax? I'm not judging. I just know people with auto immune who have very strong opinions based on their experiences.
>>129642195I have a td-7 from the mid 1990s that works fine.... I bought for ~$135 beat up out of a Florida pawnshop.... 30 years of abuse and salt water humidity didn't kill it. What did you do to your kit?
>>129639097When I was a kid I used to hit my pillow to practice rudiments before I got a kit. You could also get a practice pad or electronic kit. They're still loud, but much quieter compared to acoustic kits. You'd want ones made out of rubber. You could also soundproof your room to reduce the noise.
>>129640336I'm sorry anon.Happened to the drummer from The Ghost Inside, lost his leg in a van crash. He still plays, I think he switched to mostly using his left leg and a trigger solution for double bass. I believe he was an above the knee amputee. It's not over. Hope you get better soon.
>>129640336Getting old sucks. I hope things get better for you anon
>>129642579just played em for something like 6k hours at this point. i'm not a basher. idk if you're aware the but the Malaysian made era of roland cymbals are notorious for failing or developing issues with triggers not working as intended with no real way to fix them besides a janky ways of disassembling them in hopes debris is the problem. the rest of the pads work totally fine without any upkeep after 9 years.
>>129637393No you're not. That is probably me, depending on the time.
>>129646046>depending on the timeThat’s why I’m the best
>>129642889how tf were you able to do rudiments on pillows? there is no rebound on them so its next to impossible to do doubles, unless you were just doing single stroke based rudiments.
>>129639097Electric drum kits are quiet enough. 800 will get you a nice one, im sure 400 is the cheap end
>>129640336Living my nightmare (besides mother of my kid dying), feel for you bro, what required the amputation, pretty rare for not obese people
>>129640588You're kidding that was tight af
>>129645960Ahh. Makes sense.>>129648057Tight as a $20 hooker, but I was just shit posting to keep this thread going. I haven't seen a "make a song in an hour" thread in a while, so I just challenged myself.
>>129640588>https://voca.ro/11n3BfhAQZNXlol well not the worst
>>129648024It was when I was first starting, so like first 3 months of playing. And yeah it was all single stroke stuff. Very slow.
>>129620238I don't play drums but appreciate seeing you skin slappers represented.
>>129648024lol tell me you dont play drums by telling me you cant do doubles on a pillow
>>129649810was this mean? im sorry drum guy. people in drum threads are such cunts. you will notice, eventually, how much finger/body movement goes into doubles. then youll notice how different doing doubles is from bouncing doubles.
FACT: drummers have big dicks ;)
>>129649810https://voca.ro/1gB97u2yJeVR
>>129650972in my experience drummers ARE big dicks. I started playing drums because I don't like dealing with drummers.
>>129651314>try and find a drummer>they are all dicks>become drummer because all other drummers are dicks>become a dickThis is the pattern that every drummer went through, just accept that once you choose this instrument you will become a massive dick. and there is nothing you can do to stop it other than stop playing this instrument.
>>129651314>>129651398My dick is still bigger ;)
>>129651908>My dick is still bigger ;)At least I'm not a frog poster. :-0
>>129652483Lars is the best drummer Metalica ever had. Fight me.
>>129652433Cope
back to page one
Just put Evans UV2 on all my toms, UV1 on my piccolo snare, and a clear EMAD on the kick
>>129652698dumb frog poster.My r>>129652698esponse is below. Lots of fuck ups but it was quick and made quickly because you're a frog poster. Use headphones or speakers because the bass won't translate on small devices. I suck st drums but at least I'm not a frog poster.https://voca.ro/11EXlh8J9UM2
Some drunk fooling around https://voca.ro/14eXZnpTC3nGhttps://voca.ro/1dhYWnZEZ96t
>>129651398desu middle of the road drummers with a clear head on their shoulders are rare. most are barely or un-recordable with their ability, but think they sound like their favorite drummers. the upper 30% are good, and they know it, so they're in 2-4 bands and getting asked to join more, thus the inflated ego.
>>129656309nice. I'm still working on boom, tap, boom boom, tap
>>129651215>https://voca.ro/1gB97u2yJeVRnice bit of swiss 'fuck you' at the end!still, not on a pillow
>>129651215>https://voca.ro/1gB97u2yJeVRi can hear the uneven strokes so clearly, and also one of your hands is very weak when doing doubles at higher speeds and is dragging. you're literally the perfect candidate to practice rudiments on a pillow lmao.
>>129652650Except for that one night Joey Jordinson played and Metallica didn't have to restart once and was on tempo the whole time.
>>129658484post vids with alt drummers
>>129658486https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMkrwRdXkoo
https://youtu.be/19WBjD0X23c&t=22How difficult is this really?
He has returned to ushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJz-OEbWQgI
>>129658496Very. But you can learn.Things that are hard:Timing... getting your multiple limbs to use implements to strike plastic membranes stretched over tubs in perfect sync. You have to practice those patterns over and over for your brain to be able to execute them.... and do different sequences or your brain doesn't execute them the same. Right, left, right foot is different than left, right, right foot yo your brain, etc. Then you add dynamics. Drums are the most dynamic istrument in popular music. People's ears are sensitive to slight variations. Getting consistent dynamics takes a lot of practice. That is why you can read posts above with drum nerds talking about stroking it into their pillows.... err... I mean using their pillows to practice drum strokes. It's difficult to acquire expert level skills, but anyone can get there with practice.
>>129655545Skibidi
>>129640588>>129655545Nice tunes, you're a funny lad
plap plap plap
>>129660064^me and anon's mum^
>>129660352you play drums with anon's mum?
>>129662482Of course
>>129658652One more auditory bump and frog poster bulling. Dumb frog posters. Making stupid tunes is good writing exercise, but I have other things to do..... and I don't know enough about zoomers to bully them. Bonus: I just got the talkbox in this. Do you feel like I do? Probably not.Play your drums, anons.https://voca.ro/1oL1ptwqkf1O
>>129639097I rent a space nearby my apartment where I have all my drum shit set up
Is a 14x6.5 snare the most useful??
>>129664915I think the heads you use and the material of the drum are just as important, no? I use a 13x7 brass snare myself
>>129658496nice sight reading chopsreally boring music tho
Bumping this dead threadI guess there aren’t many cool anons on /mu/
is learning to do ringo and moe tucker style drumming hard
